My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

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.

It didn’t take long for sleep to come for me and then soon everything went dark.

…..

I woke when I felt a pair of cold hands on my face, they were checking for a pulse. My nose picked up a

familiar scent; a scent that I loved so much. Though, it was faint, it was there. I opened my eyes and

lifted my head to see Enzo kneeling at the window before me.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I must have been dreaming; there was no way this plan of

mine worked. There was no way I was here right now. Maybe those rouges saw me sleeping at the

window and they killed me.

That had to be it; they killed me.

But I saw the relief in Enzo’s eyes as he sighed and took my face in his large and masculine hands. He

bent down and brought his lips to mine, allowing me to taste his sweetness and his gentle touch. My

entire heart was pounding violently against my ribcage and tears prickled at the corners of my eyes.

Way too soon, the kiss ended, and he looked deep into my eyes.

“Max told me you needed help,” he whispered against me. “I’m going to get you out of here.”

I swallowed hard, wanting to speak but words failed me. He looked behind himself and nodded his

head in the shadows.

He brought others with him.

I wondered what time it was and how long I’d been a prisoner in this barn.

Has Xander been captured yet?

Before I knew what was happening, the front door of the barn was broken open and I swung my body

around to see 3 large wolves making their way inside the barn.

I instantly recognized one of them as Ethan; the other two must have been warriors. Maybe Jake and

someone else?

This woke the rogues who screamed at the very presence of Ethan and the warriors. Ethan was the

first

to growl fiercely, nearly shaking the entire barn. Charlie jumped in front of Casey, shielding her from

any

attacks and I could see the pure horror on her face as she stared into the eyes of the Beta.

I looked back at Enzo to tell him to not hurt them, but he was gone from the window. With a racing

heart, I quickly climbed down the hay pile I created, and I tried to get myself to the cage door.

Enzo walked into the barn still in his human form and he looked seriously pissed.

“We…we didn’t do anything. We were just sleeping,” Charlie was the first to speak while Casey hid

behind him.

“Paul is dead; what do you want with my mate?” Enzo seethed through his teeth, his eyes glowing as

his

wolf fought to take control.

Charlie furrowed his brows at Enzo, confused by the statement.

“Mate? We don’t want anything with her…. We swear. We did nothing. This barn has been abandoned

and—”

“Then why are you standing guard outside her prison? Who hired you?”

Charlie fell silent as he glanced at a wide-eyed Casey.

“Nobody hired us… when the Volana killed Paul we fled….” Casey was the one to answer. “We just

needed a place to rest. We didn’t know this was part of your territory.”

“That’s because It’s not,” Charlie seethed, finally finding his confidence as he glared. “You don’t own

this

part of the land, Alpha.”

Ethan and the warriors growled loudly, and they lowered themselves, looking like they were about to

attack but Enzo held his hand up, keeping them back.

“Somebody put you up to this… and until I find out who… I’ll be holding you in the same dungeon I’m

keeping the dark witch. We’ll see how long it takes you to talk.”

“We didn’t do anything!!” Casey screamed, finally standing to her feet and stepping around Charlie.

“You can’t punish us for something we didn’t do.”

“We’ll see about that,” Enzo muttered, putting his hand down and stepping aside for his men to attack.

Ethan didn’t hesitate, he lunged at them just as Charlie jumped in front of a frozen Casey, and at the

exact moment, I found my voice.

“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 here??”

“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.

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.”
