My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 169 – I shouldn’t be here.

Lila's POV

"So, what we need to do is come up with a campaign,” Rachel said as we sat in the student lounge. It was Sunday, the day before classes began, and a few days after we settled into our new dorms. Rachel and Becca both looked eager as they sat across from me at our usual table.

The lounge wasn't too busy, but it was still crowded enough that I didn't want to talk about this too loudly. I didn’t need Sarah to somehow overhear this conversation and use it against me.

There was still the real possibility that she could in fact have powers that she used to get everything she ever wanted and make people do her bidding without a second guess.

I hadn't told either Rachel or Becca about this because I didn't want them to worry.

“She's right, we can't let Sarah win. She will destroy this school,” Becca agreed, staring at me intently. “We need you to win, Lila. The school needs you to win.”

“The board would never allow for the school to get destroyed,” I assured them. “Regardless of who wins, they will protect us.”

I was trying to be positive and reassuring, but they gave one another a strange look that told me they didn't believe me.

I didn't believe me either.

If Sarah really did have powers, she would use them to manipulate the board too. I wouldn't put it past her.

“Everybody in this school already loves Lila,” Becca added. “So, it'll be easy to get them on her side.” “Yeah, but Sarah has her father's money and can afford a huge campaign,” Rachel reminded us. “We can't be too careful. We already know she will do anything to win.”

“Maybe you can find out why Professor... or Alpha Enzo quit while you're there. I still can't believe he quit.”

“Wait, Professor Enzo quit??” Rachel gaped. “When did that happen?”

“I'm not sure” I lied. “We found out about it recently.”

“That sucks; he was your favorite teacher,” Rachel said with a timid frown. “Are you okay?”

“I'm going to have to be,” I shrugged. “Besides, we met the new teacher. He seems... interesting.” “That's an understatement,” Becca said with an eye roll. “Dude looks terrifying. He's going to give you a run for our money.”

“I'm sure it'll be fine,” I said, staring between the two of them. “Let's not worry about anything until we have to.”

“You'll have to give us the details of what happened,” Rachel said with a frown. “I'm curious as to why he left.”

“Alpha Enzo is very busy being an Alpha and running his pack. I probably won't even see him.” “But if you do, you got to ask him why he left,” Becca repeated.

I knew they weren't going to stop until I gave them something that pleased their curious minds.

I was going to have to come up with something.

I stood outside of Enzo's packhouse with a sense of doubt. Maybe this was a bad idea after all.

I mean, if he wanted to talk to me, he would, right? S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I technically wasn't here for Enzo; I was here for Dee. But I still really needed to get answers from Enzo.

I was feeling so conflicted.

Maybe I shouldn't be here. I wasn't ready to have this conversation with Enzo.

There was a chance that I wouldn't see him if I stayed in the kitchen with Dee. It was past noon, which meant Enzo was probably tied up with something Alpha-related. But I knew once he sensed me, he'd probably come looking for me.

Maybe.

I took a deep breath and lifted my hand to knock on the wooden doors.

My heart raced rapidly in my chest; it was too late to back down now. It was only a matter of seconds before the door opened.

I just had to hope that it wasn't Enzo who opened the door.

I saw the knob of the door turning and I took a step back. Maybe if I shifted into my wolf form and sprinted for the forest, I could get away before anybody—

“Lila?” A familiar voice cut through my inner dialogue. “What are you doing here?”
