My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 135 – A Full Scholarship

Enzo's POV

"What did you give her?” I asked between my teeth, staring at this pathetic guy that was trying to take Lila away.

He had dropped Lila from his arms as soon as I neared them; I could see the fear in his eyes. He was pathetic.

What Lila was doing with Buffoon, I hadn't the slightest idea. But the thought of her going anywhere with him, even away from their initial group and to this more secluded area, sent an unsettled feeling in my stomach.

She was completely out of it; this certainly was not the work of alcohol.

“I... I was just—"

I put fear in him, that much was clear.

He stared up at me with large and frightened eyes and I stared back him, glaring and furious.

Lila remained on the ground, struggling to keep herself together. She knew something was right and this asshole was the cause of it.

He continued to stammer as I bent down and lifted Lila off the ground; it took everything I had not to punch this jerk out. But I wasn't going to do that with Lila in my arms. I needed to get her out of here and this guy wasn't going to stop me.

Who was he anyways?

I turned away, still holding onto Lila and I started walking back toward the party.

"Oh, my goddess!” Em yelled as I neared. “What the hell happened?!”

"Ask him,” was all I said as I continued walking, not even looking to see if that jerk was nearby.

Her eyes trailed behind me until they saw him, and she gasped.

“What ended up happening?” I couldn't help but ask, invested.

“I told her I wanted her to leave,” he answered. “Her flight is this afternoon.”

"She's leaving?” I gasped.

He nodded his head once.

"Are there any more questions, because you are going to be late for work if so.”

I gasped as I looked at the clock; he was right. I needed to leave.

Enzo left the room so I could quickly get dressed; once I was dressed, I ran out of the room and paused when I saw the pill bottle on the counter. It reeked of Connie and my heart plummeted into my stomach.

Enzo was telling the truth.

Enzo had taken me to work, and I was grateful for that. He used the rental car he had gotten recently.

Neither of us spoke during the carried; I don't think we knew what to say to one another. But soon, we were at the academy, and I ran from the car and into Cassidy-Ann’s office.

Thankfully, I had made it just in time.

During my time at work, I couldn't stop thinking about Enzo. I couldn't believe he had been drugged. I should have listened to my wolf from the beginning when she said he would never do that to us.

I felt guilty for not giving him the benefit of the doubt.

"Oh, I forgot to mention,” Cassidy-Ann said from her desk. “Leroy wants to meet you after work. Are you available?”

My brows raised.

"Yes, of course,” I answered quickly.

"Good... bring your samples.”

“I have to say, Lila, these paintings are incredible. You did this on your own?" Leroy asked, staring at the samples I had presented him.

It was later in the afternoon, after work, and I went straight to his office with my portfolio.

“Yes, sir,” I said as confidently as I could. “I'm glad you like them.”

“I don't just like them,” he said with a fond smile as he closed the portfolio. “Cassidy-Ann mentioned you had a great talent and I was reluctant to believe her. But I'm glad I gave you a chance because I'm certainly not disappointed.”

Excitement roamed through me at his words.

“Thank you so much,” I said to him in response.

“I think you'd make a perfect fit for this academy. Your grades are excellent as well,” he said, leaning back in his seat.

"So, what exactly does this mean?” I urged, keeping my eyes locked on his.

“I want to offer you a full scholarship to attend this academy.”
