My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 153 – Connie’s Pack

Lila's POV

Her eyes were golden and glowing as I had never seen them before. It was her wolf.

For the first time since knowing Connie, I was actually frightened of her. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So much so, I took a step back.

The fury that circulated around her was evident and I knew she was about to explode at any moment. She was angry and she wasn't going to back down until we faced her wrath. The paleness of her face went away and now it was just pure red. Her eyes glowed even brighter, and her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles grew white.

I thought her nails were going to dig into the palms of her hands as she glared between Enzo and me.

"You did what?” She seethed through her teeth

She was fighting back the impulse of her wolf. Her wolf should be happy that we made a date for her and her mate. But I couldn't help but wonder if I had made a terrible mistake.

“I just wanted you to have a chance with your mate,” I told her, keeping my tone low for her ears only. “I don't want you to have any regrets.”

"You didn't do it for me, you rotten bitch. You did it for yourself because you wanted me to leave Enzo alone. This was for selfish reasons, and you can't convince me otherwise,” she spat.

“I know you are angry right now, but if you can just calm down and listen—"

“Don't tell me to calm down!” She growled; the canines of her wolf only grew as more fury rose within her. “I specifically told you I didn't want to date that male nurse. I'm going to reject him. I don't want him."

"Connie—" I tried to reason, but she growled loudly at me, nearly shifting into her wolf.

“The Riverbed pack,” Enzo answered. “Alpha Cole is a cruel man and best friends with Sarah's father. Connie's father, Jeremy, is his Beta. Connie spent most of her life being abused by that pack so why she would bend over backward to appease them, I will never understand.”

“They are my pack,” Connie said softly, staring down at her hands. “If I go against them, they will mark me as a rogue. Or kill me...”

“Connie, you shouldn’t have to do things like this to stay in your pack,” I said, sitting down beside her on the couch. “If they truly loved you, they would accept you for who you are.”

“This is who I am,” she said, meeting my eyes. “They might have hurt me mentally and physically my entire life, but I still love them.”

“Do you love Enzo?" I found myself asking, much to Enzo’s surprise.

Val braced herself for whatever answer Connie gave us.

Connie was quiet for a moment as she looked up at Enzo, meeting his eyes.

"Of course, I do,” she whispered. “He's like a brother to me and I will always have a love for him.” “But you aren't in love with him.”

“No,” she answered, pulling her eyes away from his to meet mine. “I'm not in love with him. I only wanted to be Luna.”

I felt better knowing this information and I gave her a small smile.

“I see,” I breathed. “So, this was all to appease your pack. You don't love Enzo in that kind of way.” She nodded her head once as more tears filled her eyes.

“If they knew my mate was an Omega...” she stopped talking, unable to finish that sentence.

“Your mate was created for you by the goddess herself. You were made to love and cherish one another wholeheartedly. She doesn't make mistakes.”

I glanced up at Enzo when I said that last part; I wanted to believe my own words, but I was still trying to figure out why the goddess would pair me with someone who obviously doesn’t want a mate. Someone who doesn't even like Volana wolves has told me just that repeatedly.

I will never understand her logic, but this wasn't about me right now. It was about Connie and what she wanted because Tyler seemed like a great guy, and he was genuinely hurt that Connie didn't want anything to do with him.

I felt for him because I could relate to him,

If I could get one thing done out of this whole trip, it would be to make sure these two mates at least talk to one another.

“I could never bring him home to my pack,” Connie said, tugging at her fingers. “But maybe it wouldn't hurt to speak with him anyways.”

I felt relieved to hear that; I couldn't hide the large smile on my face as I looked up at Enzo excitedly. He looked surprised that I managed to convince Connie to give Tyler a chance.

But then Connie stood up and said something that left me frozen.

“Then, I will be able to reject him properly.”
