My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 45 – Connie in a towel

Enzo's POV

What in the actual fuck was going on right now?

This couldn't have been happening.

Lila stood in front of me with wide eyes, staring at Connie behind me. Connie, who was parading around in just a towel, was searching for the underwear she had misplaced. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They both had terrible timing.

Lila's body began to tremble as she took a large step away from me.

What was she even doing here? This was the faculty housing. Students weren't allowed here. “Enzo? Did you hear...” Connie walked closer to me and once she noticed Lila staring at her, she paused. “Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company. A student company at that.” Connie raised her brows.

“I was just leaving,” Lila stammered as she turned around. She began to hurry away from the house. "What were you doing here?” I called after her, shutting the door behind me as I stepped outside.

I could hear Connie saying something from inside, but I ignored her.

“I shouldn't have come here,” Lila said quickly; she still had her back turned to me. “I'm so sorry to bother you.”

"Why did you?”

Of course, I already knew that. She was only here for a couple of days, and I wasn't going to let her sleep on the streets. Connie was basically my sister; I had known her for most of my life. My mother raised both of us and it wouldn't be right of me to dismiss Connie after she had helped me take charge of my class during my absence.

But I didn't speak those words out loud; I just nodded to her and turned away again.

“I was thinking maybe we can attend the dance together,” Connie said quickly; I paused again. I was surprised by her suggestion, and she knew it from the look on my face. She gave a soft laugh and her face reddened even more. “We could dance together... it might be nice.”

“I'm not there as a social thing. I'm there doing a job,” I reminded her. “I'm the head of the security team; I won't have the time.”

“Just one dance, Enzo. It won't be the end of the world.”

She stepped closer again, this time she was pressing her body against mine. I remained unmoved; she was trying to seduce me. That much was obvious.

My question was, “Why?”

“We make a really good team, you know,” she said, lowering her tone even more. “And we could make an even better one...”

She ran her fingertips up my arm until they reached the top of my shoulder.

"We've known each other our whole lives... maybe that's a sign that we were meant to be together I took a long stride away from her, causing her hand to fall from my shoulder and back to her side. She frowned as she peered up at me.

“I'm going to pretend this conversation didn't just happen, Connie. You are basically my sister. There's nothing more to it. Get some sleep,” I said as I turned away from her.

"Enzo—"

She called after me, but I had already shut the door of my bedroom behind me, blocking out her words.

Lila's POV

Tears were escaping my eyes quickly; I had to disappear for the time being before I lost control of my powers. Usually, when I got like this, my powers were unpredictable.

I took a few deep breaths and allowed myself to feel the feelings that were coursing through my body.

Seeing Connie standing in Enzo’s home, basically naked, did something to me. I wasn't expecting these types of feelings, but I couldn't help myself.

Val was in complete despair; as soon as we saw them together, it was like she had completely shut down. She gave me all control back and all I could think to do was run away.

I knew now that it would never be me that Enzo wanted.

It was Connie.

Connie was his chosen mate.

And I was nothing to him.
