My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 115 – Enzo’s flashback of the week prior

Enzo's POV

"Alpha Enzo, I need a favor from you,” Bastien said one night on the phone.

"What's up?” I answered, waiting for him to continue.

“I'm a little worried about this trip Lila is going on. I can't be there to protect her. She's never been this far from home before. I know it's a lot to ask but...”

"You want me to go on this trip with her?” I asked, raising my brows.

I had thought about going on this trip multiple times. I've even gotten as far as looking up plane tickets around the same day and time as Lila’s. But I knew it would cause issues if anyone found out that I went on the trip with her.

Plus, I couldn't just leave my pack behind while I went to Monstro.

Though, Ethan had offered to take care of it for me while I'm away.

“I understand if you can't. I know you're busy running your pack and working on next semester's curriculum. It would just make me feel better if someone I trusted was with her. I know she wouldn't want to bring any of my gammas with her. It's bad enough that I had them patrolling the school.” "What makes you think she'd want me to go with her?” I found myself asking.

“I know she hasn't said it, but you are her favorite teacher,” Bastien said in return. “I think she would handle it a lot better if you went with her vs. a gamma warrior.”

“I'm not so sure about that,” I said, thinking about how Lila would react.

She's been upset lately, and I can't help but wonder if it was because Connie living in my faculty house. I know it's been rough for her as my mate to watch me living with another woman. Especially a woman whom something seemed to have happened with.

I still have no memory of that night and it's been bothering me.

Max has been living with this guilt for some time now and he’s willing to do whatever Lila and her wolf want.

When will this girl just stop already?

I heard Lila scream out in pain as she ripped the shoes off her feet. I watched as blood trickled down her foot and landed on the ground around her. It took everything I had not to lose control at that moment.

I grabbed my medical supplies from my bag and went to Lila.

She looked incredibly worried; I scolded her for wearing new shoes to the fight. However, I knew where she got them from. But if I acknowledged it at that moment, everybody would know that Lila was my mate.

I couldn't let that happen.

As I cleaned the wounds on her feet and wrapped them in bandages, I knew from the look on Lila's face that she wasn't done yet. She was going to continue the fight and she was going to kick ass. She certainly proved herself when she beat all three opponents.

Later in the day, I went to the student lounge to tell her that I'm making her the top student in the class, but I saw Brody's arm around her.

That stupid jock, I thought to myself.

Fury washed over me, and I needed to leave before I lost control of Max.

After I posted the grades, I had a bunch of things I needed to do before the trip to Monstro. A tip that Lila didnt know I was going on yet.

“I can't believe you are leaving me to go on a trip,” Connie pouted leaning against my bedroom door to watch me pack.

“I'm doing this as a favor to Alpha Bastien.”

“We both know that's a lie,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Why can't you just tell me the truth?”

“It's not your concern, Connie.”

"Are you seriously going to pretend nothing happened the other night, Enzo? We—"

“I don't have a memory of whatever happened,” I said, glaring at her. “You know this. I wasn't in the right mindset. I'm not sure3 what happened but I'm sorry if you got that wrong idea.”

She stood, dumbfounded.

I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose between my index finger and my thumb.

“Look, Connie. I think it's better if you just moved out,” I said, meeting her eyes. “You shouldn't be living in the faculty housing when you aren't full-time faculty anyways.”

“You're kicking me out?” She gasped, tears filling her eyes.

“I'm asking you to return to your home. The one you came from before you came here. For the sake of our friendship, I think it's for the best.”

“Is that really what you want?” She asked in a broken whisper.

“Yes,” I answered. “It is.”

I turned away from her, no longer wishing to continue the conversation.

“I'm going to take a shower,” I said as I left her alone in her thoughts.

Back in the present moment, Lila stared at me with large eyes as we sat next to each other on the plane. Both of our wolves nearly escaped from us at the same time.

“Professor Enzo?” She gasped. “What are you doing here??”
