My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 56 – Enzo’s fated mate.

Enzo's POV

"Something is wrong with our mate. She's feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. Her wolf is crying out to me,” Max said with a strained tone.

I had anxiety boiling in my chest and I knew he was right. I didn't stay around the packhouse for long. I knew Lila was in the Calypso field with the local children, training them in combat.

As I reached the field, I saw exactly what was making Lila upset.

Or rather, I saw who was making her upset.

Bethany stood beside her with a smile on her face as she spoke words to Lila that looked wounding. Lila lowered her gaze and for a moment, I thought she was going to cry.

I couldn't explain the rage I was feeling at that moment. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. I knew I had to remain calm; I couldn't lose my cool in front of everybody.

Including these children.

The only thing I could think to do was approach them without making a sound. Lila, of course, could sense my presence. She saw me before I reached them, but Bethany was completely oblivious.

I had told Bethany countless times to stay away from Lila and she refused to follow simple orders. "What are you doing out here?” I asked, trying to keep my tone as even as possible.

Bethany finally noticed me, and she turned her attention to me.

“I'm sorry, darling. I was just bringing Lila and the children some cookies. I hope I didn’t make you worried.”

I nearly spit my water out when she said those words.

“I'm his student,” I said quickly. “He could lose his job...”

“I thought maybe for a moment that you could have been his mate. You can't help who your fated mate is, and the school board would understand that.”

They might understand, but they wouldn't allow him to continue teaching. But I didn’t want anyone to know that Enzo was my fated mate; especially not Dee.

"He's not my mate,” I told her. “I haven't found him yet. But when I do, it'll be magical. Just like my parents.”

She gave me a fond smile.

“I believe that as well,” she said in return. “Perhaps Bethany is his mate after all. She seems to think she is at least.”

"What?" I asked, raising my brows.

She told Dee that she was Enzo’s mate?

“Yeah, she says she’s his fated mate. So, I've been making it a point to be kind to her. Even when she’s not particularly kind to me.”

Dee shook her head with dismay written all over her face.

Bethany couldn't possibly be Enzo’s mate... I was his mate.

Would it be possible to have two?

The thought made me feel physically ill and I found myself no longer hungry.

Dee frowned as she peered over at me.

"You don’t look well. Are you okay, dear?” She asked with concern clear in her tone.

"Yes," I said a little too quickly. “I think I'm just tired though. I'm going to get some sleep.”

"Oh, okay. Don't worry about your dishes. I'll wash them,” Dee offered, taking my plate away from me.

“Thank you,” I said kindly as I slid out of the stool and made my way upstairs.

As I reached the top step, I paused at Enzo’s office door. The light under the door was off, which meant he wasn't in there.

I wondered where he was eating his meal... if he was even eating.

Maybe he was off somewhere with Bethany.

The thought was unsettling, and I tried hard to push it out of my mind. I shook my head at the thought and went toward my bedroom door... or the guest bedroom door I should say.

But as I reached the door, I paused when Enzo’s bedroom door swung open, and Bethany walked out. She looked a bit frazzled and red in the face. Her hair was kind of a mess as well. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
