My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 230 Going Back to School

Lila's POV

Once Enzo and I had spoken, I was finally able to sleep.

He was returning as a professor, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried about it. I was nervous that somehow, we would be found out. I mean last time he was my professor we weren't planning on a future together.

Yeah, we were mates, but he was going to reject me after graduation, and it wasn't going to be anything more. That was before our trip to Monstro, and everything changed. That was before I realized my true feelings for him and gave him a part of myself that I could never get back, nor would I want back.

That was before he marked me, and I had to walk around hiding the very mark I was so proud of. I wished I could wear it loud and proud, so everyone knew who I belonged to and who belonged to me. But I couldn't do any of those things. I had to keep our love in the dark and it was going to be torture for me.

It was doable when he wasn't a professor, and I could just go about my day, but now he was going to be at the school all the time. Teachers and students were going to flirt with him as they always did, and I was going to have to keep my mouth shut.

It was such a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that I couldn't help being worried. But as I lay beside my mate and peered up at his beautiful, sleeping face, I had no worries at that moment and that was enough to calm me to sleep.

And sleep, I did.

I only slept for a few hours because I didn't want to screw up my sleep schedule too much. I'll be able to sleep once I get back to school tonight.

The packhouse was ghostly quiet when I emerged from Enzo’s room; Enzo wasn't in bed when I woke up, so I assumed he was interrogating Xander with the others. I wondered if he got any answers from him or if the entire thing was becoming pointless.

Dee was in the kitchen and the smell of delicious food made its way to my senses. She gave me a large smile.

“I was just making dinner for the pack. Care to help?” She asked, peering over at me.

When everything was all clean, Enzo and I said our goodbyes and we left for the academy.

“Keep trying to get answers out of him,” Enzo instructed my father who nodded in agreement. "Keep me updated as well. I'll be back this weekend.”

“Sounds good,” my father said, shaking his hand.

When we got back to the school, it was just before curfew, and I was relieved that I wasn't going to get in trouble again. I hadn't even told Enzo that I got in trouble the last time he dropped me off late and how Alpha Johnathan was the one who basically saved me from that.

Enzo parked the car and turned off his headlights as he looked at me.

“Things have to be a bit different this time around,” he said, and I saw the seriousness on his face.

I nodded to him, knowing exactly what he meant.

“We have to be careful,” I said, trying to keep the worry out of my voice.

"And we will be,” he said, touching the side of my face gently.

By instinct, I leaned into his touch. I felt the electric current from his fingertips, causing my flesh to tingle with excitement. I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from making any ridiculous sounds, but his touch was just so amazing.

His very presence made my heart quickly I must be stupid if I thought this was going to be easy. He could read that very emotion on my face too because he was soon leaning in and kissing me gently on the lips. At first, the kiss was gentle, but then it deepened, and his tongue glided into my mouth, swirling around my tongue. He kissed me with such hunger and passion it took my entire breath away.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself close to him until he took the initiative and pulled me onto his lap.

He bit my bottom lip, hungrily drawing it into his mouth and sucking on it gently before devouring my lips. I chuckled against him as I continued to kiss him and run my fingers through his dark hair. He broke the kiss from my lips and trialed his mouth down the nape of my neck. He kissed the sweet spot he had marked, and it sent goosebumps to attack my skin.

He ran his fingers down the side of my neck, brushing my long hair out of the way as he continued to kiss down my shoulders and across my chest.

I grinded my hips against him, feeling him grow hard within his jeans and it only made my flesh burn with desire. His eyes darkened as my body warmed. A growl escaped from his throat, and I swear I saw the eyes of his wolf shining through, itching to be released.

I kissed him deeply, exploring his mouth with my tongue curiously and tasting everything, he had to offer.

It was he who pulled away too soon, leaving me breathless and irritated.

“They gave me back my faculty house,” he breathed as I trailed my lips down the side of my neck. "Okay?" I murmured against him, feeling his body through his shirt with my hands

“We should go there together...” he said, causing me to freeze as I looked at him with wide eyes. I saw the desires twinkling in his eyes. “If we are going to be more careful and not get caught, we probably shouldn't do this in the car in the parking lot in front of the dorms,” he went on to explain. I was suddenly feeling warm for a whole different reason as I started to pull off him.

But he kept his hands firmly on my waist keeping me in place as he kissed the side of my mouth slowly.

“I also want to rip your clothes off,” he whispered. “I'd like to do that in bed..."
