My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 147 – Connie is missing

Lila's POV

I was in complete shock that Leroy was offering me a real scholarship to this school. He had a look on his face that made me believe every word he was saying. It was the sincerity that tugged at my heart, and I knew at that moment that I needed to make a real decision.

“I'm not sure what to say..." I breathed, staring at him with wide eyes.

“Just tell me that you'll think about it. I think this could seriously benefit your future and I would love for this academy to be a part of that.”

“That's a very generous offer,” I said with a light chuckle.

I still wasn't entirely sure what to say. I looked over at Enzo who remained on the phone; except his face shifted into something different. He didn't look happy and now I was seriously wondering who he was talking to and why it was so important right now.

"Lila?" Leroy asked me after a moment of pause. “Should I make another enrollment form?”

My wolf was still in pain after our conversation with Enzo the other morning, but she still wanted to try to mend things with him. The thought of leaving him brought a world of pain to her and I couldn't bear that happening.

She hated the thought of being away from him.

I looked back over at him to watch him continue his phone conversation and my heart ached painfully in my chest.

He wasn't paying much attention to me, but I could feel his energy and I knew at that moment something was seriously wrong.

I needed to go to him and I think going to this school and being away from him for 2 years was something that Val couldn't even fathom.

“I'm sorry, Leroy,” I said to him, giving him a polite smile. “I really appreciate this opportunity. I honestly do. But I think it's best if I passed on it. I have way too much to do back in Elysium and I can't leave it just yet. I hope you can understand.”

I glanced over at Lila; she was still talking to Leroy intently about something and she looked confused. She looked over at me, feeling my eyes on her probably. We held our eyes on one another for a long while before I turned away.

“I'll look into it,” I assured my mom. “I'll keep you updated.”

"Okay, Enzo," she said, her voice breaking slightly. “I'll talk to you soon.”

I hung up the phone just as I noticed Leroy walking away from Lila.

"Are you okay?” Lila asked as I approached her.

I was about to ask her the same question.

“Connie is missing.”

"What?!" She gasped, her eyes large and alarmed. “What do you mean she’s missing?!”

"She was supposed to land at the airport an hour ago and my mother was meant to pick her up. But she never arrived. My mother called to ask if I heard from her.”

"Oh, my goddess..." Lila breathed. “We have to find her. What if something terrible happened.”

I heard the commotion of the assembly, and I knew that it was just about to wrap up; Lila noticed this as well and I saw the worry on her face.

“Let's discuss this back at the suite,” I told her. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She nodded in agreement and together we both left the school and went straight back to the resort. During our ride back to the resort, I already mindlinked Beta Ethan to have him look everywhere Connie could possibly be.

“What if something serious happened to her?” Lila asked with wide and misty eyes.

She shed a few tears on our drive back to the resort.

“We will deal with it when we cross that bridge,” I assured her.

I didn't want to show or tell her that I was worried as well. Connie was my best friend; she was basically my sister. The thought of anything bad happening to her caused my heart to ache.

“By the way, what did Leroy want with you?" I asked, looking over at her just as she sat on the couch of our suite; she pressed her legs to her chest and peered up at me.

“Now is hardly the time to think about that,” she said, shaking her head as more tears ran down her face. “We should be out there looking for Connie.”

She quickly stood to her feet.

“My beta is looking into it as we speak. My priority is making sure you are okay and safe.”

“I'm fine, Enzo. I just want to make sure Connie is okay..." she said with desperation in her tone.

I was about to say something more but Ethan mindlinked me.

“Beta, I think I found her. She's in the Monstro Hospital. She was in a terrible accident.”
