My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 73 – Sarah’s Apology

Third Person POV

“Welcome back to the school, Sarah,” Miss Laurence, head of the board, said as she handed Sarah her curriculum and dorm keys. “You were missed. Let's try to do better this time around.”

“Yes, mam," Sarah said with a broad smile. “I won't let you down. I truly apologize for my behavior previously.”

“I'm not the one you need to apologize to,” she said in return, eyeing Sarah carefully.

Sarah had to admit that she was dreading apologizing to Lila. But that was the deal. She could return early if she gave Lila a heartfelt apology. The thought was nauseating for her. But she was going to do it if it meant she could return to the academy.

The first thing she did after meeting with the board upon her arrival, was seek Lila out.

She knew she would most likely be sleeping because it was so late at night. At least, she hoped that she would be that way she could get out of apologizing. Or she would be too tired to remember. But as soon as she realized Lila's dorm room, which was on the way to her own dorm room, she was surprised to see a faint light under the door indicating that she was awake.

She groaned miserably but knocked on the door.

Lila opened the door and her eyes widened in shock when she saw Sarah standing before her. She didn't look afraid though; Lila didn't often find Sarah to be intimidating enough to be afraid of her, but Sarah was sure she wasn't expecting her to be returning to the school so soon.

“Sarah...?" Lila said, staring around her face and making sure she was real. “What are you doing here?”

“They let me return early,” Sarah said, folding her arms across her chest. “I wanted to apologize for my behavior toward you. I allowed my own insecurities and jealousies to cloud my judgments and it wasn't fair to you. I'm sorry for poisoning you. It wasn't meant to hurt you... only delay your wolf's development. I did it out of greed. I wanted to be the best and I knew as soon as you got your wolf, you'd be the best.”

After that, it started to make sense.

They weren't going to allow Sarah to return full-time unless she made a heartfelt apology. I wanted to laugh at how obvious that was.

I just told Miss Laurence the truth and said that it was incredibly heartfelt and kind of Sarah to apologize.

Miss Laurence seemed to have liked that response because she smiled and jotted something down in her notebook before disappearing.

Today is my first day as Cassidy-Ann'’s assistant and I couldn’t be more excited. I wore a black shirt and a white blouse. I pulled my hair into a low ponytail and only added a light layer of makeup to my fair complexion.

Once I got there, she gave me my own desk in the middle of her studio and just outside her office. She gave me the runaround of what I'm going to be doing and then gave me a few assignments to work on.

It was nice being able to do something that didn't include schoolwork or thinking about Enzo. I didn't want to think about him anymore. If he truly wanted me, he would make it known to me and he hasn't.

I shook the thought out of my mind and continued my work.

“Lila, I have a few errands to run. Can you tell anyone who calls that I'll return in an hour?” Cassidy- Ann asked as she left her office.

"Yes, of course,” I answered, waving to her as she left.

I heard some whispering from nearby and looked to see a couple of Cassidy-Ann’s artists. I frowned as they whispered amongst one another and then looked at me with curious gazes.

Once they noticed I was watching them, their faces turned red.

I thought they were going to run, but it seemed they were arguing over who should ask me a specific question.

Eventually, after ending the argument, one of them stepped over.

“Are you really Alpha Bastien’s daughter?”

I rose my brows, but I nodded.

“It must be awesome to have a father like him!” The other said chipperly.

“It is awesome,” I said in return.

They both chuckled and they looked like they wanted to say more but they didn't get a chance. I heard a light knocking on the door before it opened.

I gasped when I saw Sarah standing in front of me.
