My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 138 – Whispers on the Beach

Lila's POV

My phone buzzed on my desk, and I glanced to see Enzo’s name scrolling across the top. I texted him earlier to tell him I was running a little behind this evening to come grab me at 6:30 instead of 6.

I hadn't heard from him, but I assumed that was because he was busy At his Alpha lunch.

“Dinner?” Was all the text message said.

What did that mean?

Was he asking me to dinner? Or asking if I wanted dinner? Was there a difference?

My stomach growled at the very thought of food; I hadn't thought about food all day and I was starving. The Art show was still going on outside Cassidy Ann's office door, but the number of guests was lessening.

Thank goodness, because I wasn't sure how much of this, I could take tonight. I was starving.

“I could go for some burgers,” I texted back.

I put my phone back on my desk and went to join the others in the art gallery.

Leroy was busy talking with a bunch of men in business suits and Cassidy-Ann was discussing some of her paintings with potential clients.

"Oh, Lila! There you are. This lovely woman wants to purchase “Whispers on a Beach,” Cassidy-Ann said, gesturing for the woman to follow me.

I grabbed Cassidy-Ann's tablet and brought up her website and found her abstract painting of “Whispers on a Beach.’

It was honestly one of my favorite paintings too; I loved how she took something so simple and made it a whole story out of it with just one painting.

“I'm not sure yet,” I admitted. “I'm still thinking about it. Do you think I should?”

“I guess that's up to you,” he said, turning away and putting his car in drive. “But I wouldn't be able to go with you.”

I knew that and it pained me to think about it. But I didn’t think it would pain him to think about it as well. Was he finally admitting to me that he had feelings for me just as I had feelings for him? We stayed quiet for a long while before I decided to ask, “After I graduate, is there a chance you'd mark me?”

He was quiet for a long while, probably processing the question and trying to figure out how to answer me.

“I'm not sure” he admitted. “There's a lot of stuff that needs to be done. I'm trying to make it as one of the top Alphas and having a relationship always seemed like a distraction to me...”

I looked down at my hands, feeling a little defeated.

“I understand,” I said after a short pause.

“But maybe.”

My heart quickened its pace as I looked up at him

We didn't talk about this for the rest of the night.

Enzo's POV

Something didn't feel right about this scholarship Lila was given

Staring at the pages earlier, it seemed almost too good to be true. Like they were desperate to have her. I wanted to do a little digging around to see what this school was really about and why they truly wanted her so badly.

I knew her artwork was good, but this was the best art school in the world, and they offered her this scholarship after one measly meeting.

Then again, it could it have been her Volana abilities that helped her get this position.

I brushed the thought out of my mind, at least for the night, and enjoyed having some burgers with her.

But the next morning, when she went to work, I went to the school as well so I could do a little research about what this school was about.

It's not like I could ask Leroy myself and expect him to answer my questions honestly.

Looking around at the students, I noticed how ordinary they all looked. Which got me curious about the wolf breed around campus. It also got me wondering about the school’s history.

The best place for that information was the library.

I went straight to a computer in the library and went into the database. I would be able to find a record of every student who has ever attended this school.

There were even pictures besides their names, which helped greatly.

By the time I got to the end, I leaned back in my chair and the realization set its horizon on me. This school has never had one single Volana wolf.
