My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 126 – Outdoor concert

Lila's POV

“I'm leaving now," I said to Enzo as I stood at the entrance of his bedroom door.

He was seated at the desk, typing something into his laptop, and without looking up at me, he said, “Be safe.”

My heart was heavy as I left the suite.

We haven't really talked since this morning. It felt like everything I wanted to say to him was on the tip of my tongue, but it wouldn't come out. I wanted to ask him what this relationship between us was.

One minute he was sweet to me, and we were having this incredible sex, and the next thing he was being cold and distant. Not wanting to talk to me or talk about what we were becoming.

Val was so certain that he truly loved us and wanted to be with us as our mates. But I wasn't so sure about that now.

I know that if word got back to those in Higala and Elysium that it could be incredibly bad. He could lose his job and I could be expelled from the school. It would ruin his reputation for pursuing a student and he wouldn't make a top-ranked Alpha.

But we weren't at home; we were on the other side of the world where nobody knew us.

I thought we could at least pretend to be a couple for the time that we are here. But knowing he wants to keep it even more secret, meaning not leaving the bedroom, makes me think that maybe this was about sex.

My heart ached at the very thought of my mate only using me for sex.

I was a virgin up until yesterday.

I accidentally gave Enzo my first kiss and then I purposely gave him my virginity.

What was wrong with me?

I hadn't heard of any of this music or the artists singing, but I was having so much fun. Even Matty finally cracked a smile during some of the songs. However, he continued to ignore me for most of the night.

Towards the end of the concert when things started to calm down and get a little quieter, I found that to be a good opportunity to say something to him.

“I'm sorry if I gave you a bad impression,” I said quickly, peering over at him

Em had gone to the bathroom and the others were dancing.

Matty glanced at me sideways.

“I'm not here to butt into your friend group. I'm just—"

“You're a Volana,” he cut me off. I fell silent and my face warmed. That's why he didn't like me? Because of what I am? “You have powers that are dangerous. So, I'm sorry if I don't seem interested in getting to know you.”

“Dangerous?” I asked, raising my brows. “I don't feel very dangerous. I don't want to hurt anyone...” “Maybe it's not your intention. But you Volana's can't help yourself. So, excuse me if I don't want to get to know you,” he muttered as he stood to his feet.

I was shocked by his forwardness, but I didn’t have time to say anything else because Em returned moments later with a couple of drinks in her hand.

“Hope you like beer,” she said, handing me a cup.

I didn't; but after my talk with Matty, 1 could use a drink.

Enzo's POV

“Is everything ready for this evening?” I asked Beta Ethan through a mindlink.

"Yes, it is. I just sent a confirmation to your email. Two tickets for the midnight yacht ride. You need to be there no later than 11:30 pm,” Ethan said in return.

I looked at the clock; it was 10 pm. The concert Lila was at should be ending soon and she will be returning to the suite.

Then, I'm going to surprise her with this midnight yacht ride.

“Remind me again why you are doing all of this. Should you really be pursuing her like this?" “Probably not,” I admitted. But we aren't anywhere near home and spending time with my mate makes my wolf happy. So, I should give him this while we are here. Once we return home, everything must go back to the way it was anyways.”

"You could always quit being a teacher,” Ethan suggested.

“You know I can’t do that. At least not yet. I need to grow my Alpha ranking and stats if I want to be respected.”

“Just be careful,” Ethan warned. “I don't need you getting into trouble.”

Before I could say anything more, my cell phone was ringing. I disconnected the mindlink and answered the phone; it was an unknown number.

"Alpha Enzo speaking.”

"Hello, Alpha. Sorry to bother you. This is Em, Lila's friend. I'm with her at the concert right now and she's incredibly drunk. I think she needs someone to come get her right away.”
