My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 242 What is he doing here?!

Lila's POV

“Lila, are you okay?" Rachel asked, peering at me with a frown.

I couldn't take my eyes off Alex who sat at one of the tables across the dining hall. My face was red with fury. I hadnt had a chance to confront him after Brianna told me he rejected her. I certainly wasn't going to let him off the hook with this.

What was he even doing here?

“Lila?” Rachel said again after I didn't respond to her the first time.

I blinked a couple of times and looked at her.

“Sorry, yes,” I answered. “But can you guys excuse me for a minute? There's someone I need to speak to.”

Brody slid out of the booth first and then Becca, allowing me to get out. Without another word, I marched over to Alex's table not even caring that my friends were staring at me intently. Alex, who wasn't very slick and was watching me through his glasses, tensed and put the book on the table. “Outside,” I said through gritted teeth, not wanting to make a scene. “Now.”

He looked at me for a moment, removing his sunglasses and scanning my face. I was trying hard to keep myself under control. If Val was awake, she'd want me to rip his head off his shoulders or zap him until he was paralyzed. But I didn’t have her or my abilities right now so the most he was going to get was my fists.

Which, right now, was more than enough.

He eventually sighed and stood to his feet. Without a word, he turned and walked out the door. I followed closely behind him and once we were outside, I grabbed his arm firmly making him stop and look at me.

“What the hell do you think you are doing here?” I seethed, feeling anger boiling in the pit of my stomach.

“I'm here to do my job,” he answered simply. “Per the orders of my superior.”

“I can see that,” I said as I smashed my lips against his and deepened our embrace.

His tongue was so soft as it explored my mouth, twirling itself with my tongue. I felt his teeth grazing my bottom lip and conquering it as his own. The growl that emerged from his throat made my face hot and it made me want him even more.

“Should we be doing this right here?” I said between kisses.

He broke his kiss from my lips and started to kiss other areas of my face. He made his way across my cheekbones and to my ear where he nibbled on my lobe and sent a wave of chills to course through my entire body.

“I'm just going to miss you tonight,” he whispered against me, and then my heart fell into my stomach at his words.

I looked up at him, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness so I could just make out the longing and lustful look in his eyes. But then there was something else in them as well; I couldn't quite place what it was.

“I was coming to see you to ask if I can spend the night again,” I admitted with a frown. “It's okay if not... I just thought—"

“Usually, I would have said yes,” he said softly, kissing me gently on the lips before continuing. “But Alpha Jonathan is staying with me for a bit.”

"What?" I asked, furrowing my brows together and shaking my head as if I were shaking that thought out of my brain. “Define “a bit.”

“I'm not really sure. He said he’s just here until after the election. But I don't trust him,” Enzo said, meeting my eyes. “So, I'm not sure how long he’s going to be sticking around for;"

“I was talking to Headmaster Prescott earlier when he showed up,” I said, keeping my tone low in case there were any other lurkers besides Alex.

“What did he want?”

“To tell her that he's building a house for himself on campus,” I told him. “I guess he really is staying for a while.”

Enzo bent down and kissed me again; the kiss was longer and more passionate than it was moments ago. Before, it was filled with hunger and lust, but now it is filled with love and compassion. I wasn't sure my heart would be able to take it.

But then another thought popped into my mind, and I was the one who broke the kiss first. "Whose idea was it to have Alex be the gamma that protects me?” I asked, furrowing my brows together.

Both my father and Enzo knew that I didn't like Alex based on what he had done to Brianna.

“It was a decision we came up with together,” Enzo admitted. “I know you don't like him, but he’s the best one for the job. Plus, he was the only one not on an assignment. All the other gammas were busy.”

"Out of all the gammas...." I murmured.

He gave me a small smile and wrapped his arms tightly around me.

“I'm sorry,” he breathed against me. “I know everything has been difficult. But it won't always be like this. In a couple of years, you will graduate from this school and then we will get married. You will become my wife and my Luna, and we will get our happily ever after.”

I smiled up at him.

“Promise?” I asked.

He answered my question with a kiss. I wrapped my arms back around him and deepened the kiss, loving every moment of it.

Then the moment was ruined when the door opened and Alex stood before us, making us jump apart.

“Probably better if you didn't do this here,” he said, staring between the two of us. “You might get caught by someone other than me.”
