My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 237 Jazzy Escaped!

Enzo's POV

"Someone has to have seen where she’s gone,” I seethed into the phone, clutching it with so much strength my knuckles were turning white, and the phone began to crack in my grip.

My Beta, Ethan had just mindlinked me to tell me that the dark witch, Jazzy, had escaped. I called the packhouse right away. Jack, my head Gamma, was on the other end of the line and I knew he could feel just how furious I was.

There was no way she was able to escape the dungeon, and no one saw her. They were supposed to be watching her 24/7.

“The cell was still closed and locked when we went to check on her,” Jack explained. “I'm not sure how she managed to get out, but her cuffs were on the ground and they were still latched together.”

"How is that possible? Those cuffs were supposed to restrict her magic,” I asked, trying to control my temper as I stood in the empty arena after a long session of working out.

My heart was still pounding from the 100 pushups and pullups I just did, and I was trying hard to keep it under control. I was thankful nobody else was in the arena with me. I continued to pace back and forth as I remained on the phone with my Gamma.

“She's the most powerful dark witch,” Jack reminded me. “It was unavoidable. Those cuffs weren't going to hold her.”

“Let me see the phone,” I heard Ethan in the background, and I knew he was grabbing the phone out of Jack's hand. “Alpha, I told you it was too easy to capture her. She was waiting for the opportunity to escape.” Ethan said on the other end of the line

"We need to figure out where she had gone off to and why,” I ordered. “Is Alpha Bastien still there?” “Yeah, he's currently questioning Xander to see if he saw anything in the dungeon when Jazzy disappeared.”

"He's not going to say shit about it,” I murmured, rolling my eyes.

“Maybe not; but Alpha Bastien is persuasive,” Ethan said.

“In the meantime, I need you to gather up some men and go to the Starcove. She might have returned home,” I ordered

I already told her through a mindlink what had happened; it was infuriating that she was being difficult right now. I had to hold myself back from grabbing her and dragging her out of this room, but that wouldn't end well for either of us.

She could see the struggle in my eyes because she sighed and turned to face Kay who was looking between the two of us worriedly.

“Let's meet in the library this afternoon around 4 pm and we can study together,” she said to Kay gently.

Kay nodded.

“That sounds great,” Kay said with a grin. “Thank you, Lila.”

On that note, Lila stood and turned to face me, narrowing her eyes.

“Let's go,” she said, walking past me.

I didn't waste any time; I turned and went with Lila out of the student lounge and toward the arena where we could talk privately. The arena was my office; nobody went there until it was time for class, which gave me time to prepare and work out on my own.

I don't usually lock the door, but in this case, I knew I had to for extra security.

Lila turned to face me, folding her arms across her chest as she peered up at me through her long and dark lashes.

“I know you are worried because Jazzy has escaped, but you have to be more careful in front of the other students,” she said in a breath, shaking her head at me. “I don't want them suspecting anything.”

“Do you honestly think I'd let that happen?” He asked, cocking his head at me. “Lila, this is serious. I'm worried Jazzy could come after you. Keeping you safe is my priority right now.”

“I can’t miss any more school,” she said, shaking her head.

“I'm not asking you to. But I think it'd be wise if maybe one of my gammas stayed with you to protect you while you're here.”

"What?" She gasped. “No way. The others will start talking. Gammas have the pack symbol on their uniforms. They'll know he’s one of yours.”

“Then we can have one of your father's Gammas come and—"

“I don’t want someone following me around all day. You don't think I can handle myself?” She asked, and I could hear the hurt in her voice.

“She's a dark witch, Lila. The most powerful one to exist,” I said firmly.

“And I'm a Volana.”

“A Volana who is weakened because of the wolfsbane in your system,” I shot back. “You couldn't even handle yourself with Xander. You expect me to think you can handle yourself with Jazzy the dark witch?”

I saw the hurt flash on her face, and she took a step back.

“I expect you to have a little more faith in me,” she said in return, her voice softening as she became consumed with the pain.

“Lila... you know I have faith in you,” I said gently, stepping toward her. “But I need you to trust me.” She looked up at me and I saw how red her face was getting as soon as our eyes met. I loved that I still had that effect on her, but I hated the hurt look she was giving me. Max was quietly scolding me in the back of my mind for hurting our mate. But I needed to make sure she was safe; Lila was my main priority at this moment.

I reached my hand up to touch her face, but I heard the clearing of a throat in the distance, making me freeze.

“Am I interrupting something?”
