My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 162 – Welcome home

Lila's POV

"You're staying?" Enzo asked, raising his brows. “Are you sure that's wise? You barely know him.” “They are mates,” I shrugged. “She knows all she needs to know. They are destined for one another.” Enzo gave me a look before looking at Connie.

“She's right. I love him. I can't deny it. I want to be with my mate. So, yes. I'm staying.”

“I'm so happy you decided not to reject him!" I cooed. “You are going to have such a nice life with your mate.”

I was a bit envious honestly, but I wasn't going to say that out loud.

Enzo gave me another look, but he didn't say anything either.

I went back to my room to finish packing while Enzo and Connie talked things over. She's been his best friend since childhood, so I figured they'd want a little bit of privacy on their last day together. When I got back into my room, I grabbed my phone to check my messages and saw that Brianna had texted me.

"Oh, my goddess!! We have so much to catch up on! I can’t wait to hear about your trip! See you soon. XOXO!"

I smiled at the phone.

Brianna had found her mate; I wondered if she was going to take him to the airport. He's part of Uncle Don's gamma army. She's been so excited and from the sounds of her texts these last few weeks, she’s very smitten.

I just hope she doesn't have to experience what I'm experiencing.

A mate that doesn't want her back.

"What do you mean he doesn't want us?” Val, who has been oddly quiet until that moment, chimed in. “He spent weeks having sex with you! Must I remind you of that hot date?”

“No, you don't need to remind me of anything. We only went on that date because Connie and Tyler bailed,” I shrugged

He grabbed my bags and began walking towards the packhouse. Enzo grabbed his own bags; his car was parked nearby so he just went ahead and brought his things to his car.

“You're staying, right?” I asked, walking closely behind him. “For the party I mean?”

“I should get back to my pack,” Enzo said, staring around my sunken face. “Beta Ethan has been mindlinking me nonstop for the last few days. I guess they ran into some trouble.”

"Oh..." I said, staring at the ground. “That's too bad. I was hoping we could spend a little more time together...”

I knew it was hopeful thinking, but I still hoped.

“Lila—" He went on to say, but the voice of my father interrupted him.

"Enzo, I hope you aren't leaving just yet. We still have to talk in my study,” he said, eyeing him carefully.

Enzo nodded, glancing at me briefly.

“We'll talk more later,” he assured me.

He finished putting his things in his car before we went to speak to my father privately.

I furrowed my brows together, curious about what they were going off to talk about and why they couldn't do it in front of me.

Part of me wanted to follow behind them and try to listen to their conversation, but I saw Brianna waving me over from the front door with a wide smile on her face.

I sighed and followed her inside.

She stood next to a tall and broad man with orange hair and huge muscles. He had kind blue eyes with long lashes and freckles around his nose and cheeks. He wore the uniform of a gamma warrior, equipped with weapons, which wasn’t unusual for a gamma warrior. He matched my Uncle Don when it came to his uniform, except Donovan had a red symbol on his chest indicating that he was the leader.

Bri grabbed this gentlemen's arm and pulled him closer to her, that smile never leaving her lips. “You must be Alexander,” I said, reaching my hand out to shake.

He shook it without hesitation and bowed his head at me.

“It's great to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you. From both Donovan and Brianna,” Alexander said in return, keeping his head bowed. “You are kind of a legend actually.”

I laughed.

"A legend you say?” I rose my brows.

"You are a badass fighter and a Volana wolf. You fear nothing and you've faced so many challenges your entire life. Yes, a legend.”

“That's very kind of you,” I said, glancing at Brianna who bit her bottom lip to stifle a giggle.

She seriously was smitten with him, and I was so glad for her; yet I was also a bit envious.

Which reminded me that Enzo was off having a secret conversation with my father.

“Can we talk more later? There's someone I need to speak with,” I told them both, stepping around them.

Brianna frowned like she was about to protest, but she kept her mouth shut and watched as I went towards my father's office.

My father's office door was at the end of the long hallway, and it was closed tightly with only a faint light under the door indicating that someone was in there. The closer I got to the door, the more I was picking up Enzo’s scent, so I knew he was there with my father.

I paused outside the door, just as I began to hear their voices.

"Have you thought more about our conversation from last month? The semester officially starts next week,” My father said to him

“Yes,” Enzo said in return. “It's all I could think about.”

"And? Have you made up your mind?”

“I made it up a while ago, Alpha,” Enzo said to my father. “I'm sorry but my decision hasn't changed at all. I can't remain at this school any longer. I won't be returning as a professor.
