My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 151 – The setup

Lila's POV

"You want to do what?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at me as I stood before him. We brought Connie back into her room and she was resting for the evening.

Enzo and I stood in the hallway, and he was staring down at me like I was a rodent.

“I want to plan the perfect date for Connie and Tyler,” I repeated the same sentence I said only moments ago.

"Connie doesn't want to date him,” Enzo reminded me. “We can't force her.”

"He's her mate, Enzo,” I said in return. “Of course, she wants to go out with him.”

He looked at me for a long while and I felt my face growing incredibly hot as I realized what I had just said. I basically admitted that I wanted to go out with Enzo because Enzo was my mate. But that certainly wasn't what I meant, despite my wolf wiggling with amusement.

“Look, I've known Connie my entire life. She will hate whatever we have planned for her,” he said, shaking his head. “It's better if we just let it go. If this mate bond is genuine, they will be pulled together naturally.”

“Unless they reject one another,” I pointed out.

Neither of them was Alpha, which meant they could reject each other at any moment. My heart ached at the very thought. Mates were chosen to be together by the moon goddess. As much as I hated to admit it, she doesn't make mistakes.

Her reasoning for pairing me with Enzo was something I would never understand though. I wish I could just ask her.

“That's not our business,” Enzo said as he turned away. “I'm going to say good night to her and then we can head back.”

“How long is she going to be here for?” I asked.

“Her wolf is healing her fast. She'll probably be here for another day or so,” he answered.

"Will she be staying with us?”

That's been a question that's been on my mind for a little while.

Especially since I was going against him and planning a date for Connie and her mate. Plus, this would give me time to plan the perfect date for the two of them.

Later in the afternoon, we brought Connie back to the suite and she went to take a shower. Enzo went to make food for the four of us and I curled up on the couch, planning out this date.

I was planning on making a reservation at the fanciest restaurant in Monstro. My plan was to have everything set up by Monday evening. So, I had tonight and tomorrow to plan everything perfectly. I made a note to call the florist tomorrow to have the best bouquet prepared because simple flowers would never do for Connie. I knew on Monday there would be a beach festival too because I heard some students talking about it the other day.

Connie would love to attend something like that, so I made a note of that as well.

I was so engrossed in my notetaking and planning that I didn't realize Enzo was standing behind me.

"What are you doing?” He scared me by asking.

I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of his voice. I turned around quickly to face him.

"Oh, I was just—"

“Planning a date for someone who doesn't want one?” He asked, raising his brows. He must have read the notepad before saying anything. “I thought we discussed that we shouldn't get involved.” “I made a promise... “ I said with a deepened frown. “I can't go against my promise to Tyler.”

“But you can go against your promise to me?”

“That's not what I meant,” I said quickly. “I just want Connie to find her happily ever after.”

"Oh, is that what you want?” He asked, raising only one brow.

My face flushed at his words and the accusing sound of his tone. He was looking at me with disbelief and I couldn't believe what he was insinuating.

"What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, pressing my lips firmly together. I

“I mean are you doing this for Connie, or for yourself?”

"How could you accuse me of something like that?” I heard myself asking, my voice going soft.

“It just seems odd that you care so much about her dating life,” Enzo said with a shrug.

I stood to my feet and glared at him, folding my arms across my chest.

“Your hospitality is making me think you don’t want her to date,” I said in return. “Is there a reason for that?”

He stared at me for a moment longer before asking, “You think I'm trying to keep Connie single?” “I don’t know.. are you?” I shot back.

"No."

“Then why won't you help me?” I asked, eyeing him carefully.

“Because none of this is our business,” he said, a little too loudly.

“Maybe we should make it our business,” I shrugged. “If your care about her as your friend, you would want her to be happy.”

"And if this guy doesn't make her happy?”

"He's her mate, Enzo. He's determined to make her happy.”

He was quiet for a little longer before sighing. I could tell I had won this argument.

“Fine,” he finally said, turning away and going toward the kitchen. “You want to set her up, then we will set her up.”
