My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 226 It Was Professor Xander

Enzo's POV

"Ethan, gather the strongest warriors. I need you on patrol of the forest just outside our pack going North. I think Lila is in trouble,” I sent a mindlink while running toward that exact area.

It didn’t take long for him to respond.

"What? What is she doing there?” Ethan asked and from his tone, I knew he was jumping into action regardless of what I said next.

“I don't know, but I know she’s in trouble,” I said in return just before ending the mindlink and running even faster.

I managed to pick up her scent almost immediately after leaving the pack borders, but I also picked up something else... wolfsbane and rogues.

Lila's POV

I stayed at the window for what felt like an eternity. I have no idea if Enzo could sense me whatsoever, and the thought of not knowing ached. My wolf was completely gone from me, and I was left completely in the dark.

I leaned against the open window, taking in the wonderful breeze of the outdoors and feeling it strengthened me.

Casey and Charlie were still snoring heavily, and it brought me some sort of comfort. There was a part of me that didn't think they were that bad; maybe a little misunderstood. Although they were part of Paul's clan, maybe their judgment was a little off.

I leaned my head against the window frame, wishing I could shrink in size so I could crawl through. The cold breeze and the scent of the familiar and clean earth brought me a sense of comfort. I couldn't smell Enzo though; however, my senses weren't working as they should be so that didn't mean he wasn't close by.

That didn't mean he couldn't smell me.

My body was weak, and my wolf was still asleep; I had no abilities, and I was losing the battle to sleep. I allowed my eyes to close and my body to rest against the hay while my head used the open window as a pillow.

If they were to wake up right now, they'd be able to see me. I was no longer hidden in the shadow and the moonlight touched me in a way that made it look like I was glowing. But at that very moment, I didn't really care if they saw me or not. I was too tired to care.

"Stop!" I screamed, grabbing the cell bars and shaking the door to get their attention. I managed to get Enzo's attention and Casey's attention, who screamed when she saw me.

"What the fuck?” Charlie asked, staring at me with wide and alarmed eyes.

“Don’t hurt them! She's pregnant!” I screamed, trying to get Ethan to stop.

Charlie had a nasty bite on his arm from Ethan's attack, but he didn't seem to notice it. I'm sure his wolf was probably healing him as we spoke. Though, he was sitting on the ground and Casey was now leaning over him, assessing the wound while Ethan was growling in their faces.

He stopped the attack upon hearing my voice, but I knew he'd resume again in a heartbeat if given the word.

“How do you know this?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

“I heard them talking,” I confessed, biting my bottom lip to keep my mouth from trembling. “They didn't know I was here. They are telling the truth.”

“They didn’t know you were here?" Enzo asked, raising his brows.

I shook my head.

“What the fuck is going on?” Charlie asked, staring directly at me. “When the hell did you get bere??"

“She must have been here the whole time...” Casey said, shaking her head. “She's locked in a cage.” “Just let them go,” I pleaded for Enzo.

He looked uncertain but he didn't argue with me; he glanced down at a waiting Ethan and warriors and nodded to them to back off. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They did as he commanded, stepping away from Casey and Charlie.

"Get out of here,” Enzo murmured to the rogues who didn’t hesitate to stand and run toward the doorway.

Casey stopped once she reached the door and her eyes met mine; we held the eye contact for a moment before Charlie appeared at the doorway again.

"Are you coming or not?” He growled at her.

She nodded at him and finally turned and left the barn.

Enzo grabbed a rock from the ground outside before running at the locked cage and busting the door open. I stepped back as he did so, and a flood of relief poured from me once that door was open, and Enzo was holding me in his arms.

I buried my face in my chest, taking in his scent and basking in his complete warmth. Everything about him was so perfect and all I wanted was to be cradled in his arms and loved by him for eternity.

His lips touched the top of my head, and he buried his face in my hair, taking in my every scent as I took in his.

“You smell like Wolfsbane,” he whispered against me. “I'm going to bring you to the pack doctor.”

I nodded to him, not wanting to let him go and also not fully trusting my voice.

He took my shoulders and pulled me away from him; I couldn't help the small whimper that escaped my lips. I saw the small smile in his eyes, but his face was very serious.

“Tell me who did this to you, Lila. Who locked you in here?” He asked.

As the memories surfaced in my mind, tears filled my eyes, and I bit my bottom lip to keep from sobbing. He remained still and continued to stare into my eyes.

“Tell me,” he ordered calmly and softly.

I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and opened my mouth to speak. He leaned in so he could hear the soft words that I spoke.

“It was.... Professor Xander.”
