My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 203 Chemical Reaction

Enzo's POV

"Who was on the phone?” Lila asked with a small frown when I entered the room.

Her face was still a little red which made a smile tug at the corner of my lips. I suppose I had myself to blame for that. She looked gorgeous in her thin nightgown and her hair flowing messily around her face.

“It was Dr. Todrick from the pack clinic,” I answered. “He might have found something in that protein mix Xander had given you.”

Her face paled.

“What did he find?" She asked, her voice soft and nervous.

“I won't know until I go there,” I told her, trying to keep my voice calm to not alarm her. “I'm going to head there once I'm done getting dressed. I'll meet you at the school later.”

When I finished getting dressed, Lila was finishing cleaning from breakfast and grabbing clothes for herself. When she saw me, her frown deepened.

“Do you think he's trying to poison me?” She asked, her voice cracking.

I furrowed my brows at her. I was wary about what the shake was made of, but poison was not a thing I thought about.

"Why would he try to poison you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

Was there a reason she thought he would be trying to poison her?

She was quiet for a moment before answering.

“Well...when I drink it, my throat hurts and my lips burn...” she said, lowering her gaze. This was news to me, and my heart fell into my stomach. “He said it's supposed to happen and that I'll get used to it. But Val doesn't like it either and told me not to drink it anymore. I only drank it twice and each time it makes me feel weird.”

"Why didn’t you tell me that before?” I asked, trying not to sound like I was scolding her. But I didn't like the fact that kept this from me. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She shrugged.

“Unless it's being masked by something,” I said through my teeth

“For Wolfbane to not show up on my testing, it would have to be masked by something very strong...” Dr. Todrick said, deep in thought. “Like magic...”

“Magic?” I asked, staring at him in shock. “Where would he have gotten magic?”

“That's a good question,” Dr. Todrick said, shaking his head. “But if that's the case then the only way to get rid of it would be a witch. Or an antidote.”

I stayed quiet as I processed what he said.

“Do you know a witch that could potentially help us?”

I nodded; I did know a witch. Well, kind of. My mother knows a witch; I'm sure she could help us in this situation.

"Yes," I answered out loud. “I'll reach out to her and see if she can help us.”

“In the meantime, I'll do more testing and see if I can find out more information.”

Lila's POV

Dee and Beta Ethan came with me to the school to help set up the bake sale. Ethan even recruited a couple of gamma warriors to keep watch over us during the sale for extra protection.

Once we got there, Ethan and the gammas got to work building the bake sale stand and cases while Dee and I made signs to place everywhere.

“Lila!” I heard my name being called from nearby and when I turned to look, I was pleased to see Becca and Rachel coming toward me.

"Hey girls,” I said with a bright smile.

“We came to help,” Becca explained. “What can we do?”

“You can help make some signs,” I said, handing them each a marker.

They sat on the ground beside me and started to help with the signs right away. We only had a couple of hours before the bake sale started. I already sent a memo to each student reminding them of the sale at 1:00 p.m.

It only took Ethan and the gammas about 45 minutes to set up the stand and the display cases. Once they were finished, they set up a few tables for seating.

Only 10 minutes before 1:00 pm, I heard a familiar musical sound in the distance, causing me to freeze and frown at my friends who also heard the same familiar sound.

I turned around and my mouth felt open when I saw an ice cream truck nearby.

“Isn't it a little out of season for ice cream?” Rachel asked, her brows furrowed together.

I nodded as the ice cream truck got closer and soon; it was parking close by.

"What's it doing here?” Becca asked, equally confused.

I didn't have an answer.

After a minute the doors of the truck swung open, and we soon got our answers.

Sarah stepped out of the truck with a couple of her followers.

Upon seeing her, my heart fell deep into the pit of my stomach and my mouth nearly fell to the floor.

“What the hell is she doing here?!” Rachel asked through her teeth, and I knew she was furious. Before I could say anything, one of Sarah's friends began sticking signs on the ice cream truck that read in big bold letters: Free Ice Cream.

Is she serious?!
