My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 227 I’ll Return as Professor

Lila's POV

“Well, Lila. You were given a large amount of wolfsbane but not enough where we need to drain you. I think with proper rest and water intake, it'll take care of itself,” Dr. Ryan, one of the pack Doctors, said after he finished examining me.

He poked me with needles and gave me some antibiotics; he ran numerous scans and tests as well. By the time he finished, hours had gone by, and I was utterly exhausted. I wasn't able to sleep much at the hospital because I was so worried about Enzo.

Enzo, Ethan, and Jake had gone to the academy to take care of the Xander problem. He had told me on our way to the hospital, that Hazel was able to uncover what was inside of the protein mix. It was Wolfsbane.

Which means Xander had been poisoning me this entire time; but for reasons I was unsure of. Until he returned, he told me to stay in the hospital to be monitored and get some rest. But rest wasn't coming easy to me.

“Any word on Enzo yet?” I found myself asking Dr. Ryan as he drew a little more blood from me. “Not yet. But I'm sure he’s fine,” Dr. Ryan said, glancing up at me. “He's a strong wolf and can handle himself."

“I don't doubt that,” I said, shaking my head. “But I fear that Xander might have some extra power on his side.”

“Extra power?” Dr. Ryan asked, raising his brows.

How could I explain to this doctor that I had suspicions that Sarah, a mean girl at my school, can manipulate minds and that I think she’s helping Professor Xander for whatever reason?

I couldn't.

I couldn't explain that, and I wouldn't, so I just sighed and shook my head sadly.

“He's just powerful,” I said. “I don’t want Enzo getting hurt.”

“I'm sure he'll be fine,” Dr. Ryan said gently. “I'm going to run another test with this blood. Do you need anything while I'm away? I can have the nurses bring you food.”

“I'm not that hungry,” I told him, wrapping my arms around my body like I was cold, but I wasn't cold. Just a little uncomfortable and want Enzo more than anything. Wrapping my arms around my body was like I was holding myself together.

“I'll have them bring you something anyway. It'll be good if you ate, and Alpha will kill me if he returns, and you've lost weight.”

I smiled my thanks to him, though I knew it wasn't going to reach my eyes.

I was soon left alone with only my thoughts to keep me company.

Tiffany's eyes remained glued on Jake as she waited for him to uncover the mix. Once he did, she gasped and took a step back.

“Which students have been affected by this?” She asked, her voice small

"As far as we know, only Lila,” I answered. “Which is why her father, Alpha Bastien, is also involved. Lila was found locked in an abandoned barn, caged like an animal and she told me that it was Professor Xander that had put her there.”

This made Tiffany gasp again as she glared at Xander.

“Tell me this isn't true.”

“I have my reasons,” he seethed.

"Get him out of my face,” she ordered, glancing at Ethan who nodded.

“Gladly,” he said, taking out a pair of silver cuffs.

I was expecting Xander to fight Ethan as he put the cuffs around his wrists, but he didn't. I released Xander and allowed Jake to help Ethan. We drove to the school so we could take him back in the car without any issues.

I was about to follow them out of the arena, but Tiffany stopped me.

“Can we talk in my office, Alpha?”

I frowned but I nodded, turning back to Ethan.

“Get him out of here and alert Bastien that we have him in custody. I'll meet you back at the packhouse.”

Ethan nodded and did exactly as I asked with Jake trailing behind him.

I turned back to Tiffany who had a worried look on her face.

“Lead the way," I said, motioning for the doorway.

I followed Tiffany out of the arena and to the School Board building where their offices and the school courtroom are. Tiffany's office was on the top floor, and she had the perfect view of the entire campus from her office. It was also the biggest office on the campus with marble flooring and a large glass desk.

She sat down at her desk and motioned for one of the comfortable-looking, salmon-colored, seats in front of the desk. They each had designer, light pink and white, cushions and gave the office a nice homey feeling.

“I'm so sorry..." she finally said after a short pause. “I had no idea he was like that. He seemed too genuine when I hired him..."

“You couldn't have known,” I assured her. “Don’t worry too much about it.”

“Is Lila well?” She asked and I could hear the concern in her voice.

"Yes; she's resting and will make a full recovery,” I told her.

“I'm surprised Alpha Bastien sent you here instead of coming here himself,” she said, a timid frown on her face. “I thought you'd be more focused on your pack and your duties and not be tending to his.”

“Alpha Bastien has not only become a close friend to me but also a mentor. Whenever he calls to ask for help, I would never hesitate. In this case, he knows that I know this school better, and I've encountered Xander in the past. I'm also closer to the school and could get here faster.”

“I see,” she breathed thoughtfully. “Thank goodness for you. I'm glad you got to her on time. I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to that sweet girl...” She paused for a moment before continuing. “I don't want anything to happen to any of my students. But Lila is special...” “You don't have to explain,” I said quickly. “I understand where you are coming from.”

She gave me a small smile.

“Now that Xander is gone... might have to cancel combat and shifting as a course,” she sighed. "What?" I gasped. "Why?"

“There's no way I'll be able to hire another professor on such short notice,” she said sadly, shaking her head. “I'm not sure what else to do. The course might have to just continue next year once I can hire someone.”

“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I won't let that happen. These students don’t deserve to have to take this same course again next year.”

“What more can I do?” She asked raising her brows.

“I'll help,” I heard myself saying before I could stop myself. “I'll return as a professor, but only for the rest of this year.”
