My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 51 – I’m not interested.

Enzo's POV

There was a painful expression on Lila's face.

She looked between Bethany and me, trying to figure out whether I was serious. I knew there was a part of her that wanted to leave. If she stayed any longer it would only hurt her that much worse, and my wolf wasn't able to handle feeling her pain.

"Okay," she finally said in a soft tone.

Bethany rose her brows at Lila as if silently asking her to leave; this irked me.

Lila turned and left us to be alone.

“I knew you would see things from my view,” Bethany said, batting her long lashes at me. "We are going to make an incredible team. Now, let's discuss marriage.”

"We won't be discussing anything of the sort,” I said, turning my eyes in her direction.

She frowned, seemingly stunned.

“Excuse me?” She asked, raising her brows once again.

"You can't just come to my workplace and talk about this nonsense in front of my students. It was incredibly unprofessional, and my personal business is not to be displayed as it was.”

“I apologize for being so careless and erupt but—"

"As for your idea of becoming a team, I don't work with anyone. I got to where I am today because of my dedication and my willingness to put in 100 percent of the work. Not because I used someone else to get ahead.”

“That isn't what I meant...”

How interesting.

Upon returning home, her father was sitting in his office and getting some work done. Bethany barged in like she was the one in charge.

Her father glanced up from his computer with a frown.

“Beth darling, I'm glad you're home but must you barge in like that? What if I had a conference?” He asked, sounding annoyed by his daughter.

“I would hope that you would pause the conference for your daughter,” she said, sitting down in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

She crossed her leg over the other and folded her arms across her busty chest.

"Of course,” her father said with a sigh. “What's the matter?” He finally asked after searching her distraught face.

“I went to see Alpha Enzo and he turned me away,” she muttered.

Her father rose his brows and narrowed his eyes at her.

“I told you that would happen,” her father said, shaking his head with dismay written all over his face. “Enzo is already spoken for..."

“That's a lie,” she said firmly. “He told me himself that he doesn't have any interest in women or mates.”

“Is that right?”

“Perhaps he’s gay,” she said almost thoughtfully.

“I don't think so,” he said in return.

“Well, clearly you don't know much of anything about him then,” she snapped.

"Watch your tone, Beth. You might be a famous singer and my daughter, but I'm still the Alpha,” her father said in a deep and threatening tone.

“As an Alpha, you should know more about the other Alphas.”

“I know what I need to know, and their relationship history isn't something I need to know,” he informed her. “It is odd, however, that he remains unmated and unwed. He can't run a pack properly if there's no Luna. It's shameful really. I tried my best to make him see that but clearly, he is unwilling to compromise.”

“You don't have a luna,” Bethany reminded him.

“Your mother was killed. That's different than never having one.”

“Mother wasn't your fated mate. She was your chosen mate. If I remember correctly, she wasn't interested in a mate either. What made her fall in love with you?”

“I had her live in the packhouse while she was in town for business. There was no other place for her to stay and I knew I loved her the moment I saw her,” her father explained. “It's true, she didn't love me, but she needed a place to stay for a while and took me up on my offer. Once she saw all the things I could do and how true to my word that I was, she eventually started to open up to me. She later confessed to falling in love with me.”

“So, Mother living in the packhouse is what made her fall in love with you?”

“No,” her father said, shaking his head. “But it brought her close enough to me where she eventually fell in love.”

An idea surfaced in Bethany's mind, causing her to stand to her feet quickly.

“That's it!" She breathed. “That's how I'll get him to fall in love with me. I'll move into his packhouse!”
