My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 213



Lila’s POV They were all staring at me like I had just grown an extra head; maybe I did. My head was pounding, and this feeling was too overwhelming. I couldn’t explain it even if I wanted to. “Are you sure?” My father asked, narrowing his eyes at me. “How do you know?” “I don’t know. It’s just this feeling I have,” I said between my teeth. We didn’t have a lot of time to waste; the village was unprotected and Enzo’s mother, along with her people, was soon going to die. We needed to get to them and quickly. “She’s right,” my mother said from behind me. “I can feel it too.” “Shit,” Enzo hissed through his teeth. “Okay; Enzo and I will go, and you stay here with your mother,” my father said as he rushed toward the door. I was stunned. “Let me come with you. I can help keep them protected,” I said, rushing after my father and mate. Enzo turned around to face me, his eyes pouring into me. “Lila, I need you to stay here and out of the way. I need you to be safe.” “When have I ever run away from a fight?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “I can protect myself and those Volana’s, Enzo. You know I can.” “It’s far too dangerous,” My father snapped, glaring at me through eyes of anger. “Bastien, as much as I want Lila to remain safe as well… I think she needs to go there,” my mother surprised me by saying. Both my father and Enzo stared at her in disbelief. “She can help keep them safe while you hunt for Hazel. Besides, it’s not like she will be alone. There will be warriors there too,” she said.

She glanced over her shoulder at Aiden and Donovan who were readying their equipment to join the others. “They aren’t going to let anything happen to her,” my mother said, looking back at my father. “Let her go to that village. She needs to do this, and you can use all the help that you can get.” “How can she help keep them safe?” My father asked, glancing at me. He didn’t sound angry or skeptical, but he did sound worried. “I can fight,” I said firmly. “Your wolf is still weak from whatever shit was in that protein shake,” Enzo reminded me. I glanced at my father, and he gave me a knowing look before I looked back at Enzo, squaring my shoulders I said, “I don’t need a strong wolf to fight.” Enzo stared at me for a moment longer before a small grin appeared on his lips.

“Also, I can shield myself and others from attacks, remember?” I said, peering up at him. “I shielded you when you saved your mother from Paul’s layer. I can probably shield them too from whatever attacks come their way.” Enzo glanced at my father and they both had identical looks before turning back to me. Finally, Enzo gave me a genuine smile before smiling and nodding. “Okay,” he said after a brief pause. “Then let’s get to my mother’s village.” Relief flooded through me as I gave him a large smile. I turned to my mother and gave her a large hug. “Be safe, Lila Bean,” she whispered against me. “I will,” I assured her before pulling away. I turned to Enzo and my father. “Let’s go.” …. The closer we got to the rogue territory, the more my insides began screaming at me that something was seriously wrong. The sounds of my heart thrumming invaded my hearing, and I took a steady deep

breath to steady my trembling body. We didn’t bother taking a car because we could move faster in wolf form. Because Val was still too weak, I couldn’t shift and run myself, so I clung to Enzo’s back as he ran through the forests. We crossed many different territories until we reached the Calypso pack. It only took Enzo’s wolf, Max, roughly 15 minutes to reach the Calypso pack instead of the usual 30 minutes it would take in a car. The rogue territory that his mother resided in was just outside his borders. I wasn’t sure what to expect when we got there and that’s what worried me the most. But as we neared closer, I started to hear the screams and the frantic cries of women and children, and I knew they were in serious trouble. Enzo heard the screaming as well because he picked up speed and whipped through the forest with everything, he had inside of him. As I already knew, his mother’s village was out in the open and the fighting that went on was between rogues and the warriors stationed to keep the village safe. I recognized some of them as Nova Pack warriors as well and I was relieved to see them helping. I slid off Enzo’s back immediately and his wolf’s eyes met mine. “I need you to find my mother,” he said through a mindlink. I nodded to him, not bothering to respond any further as I ran through the ambush of villagers. My heart tugged as I watched houses of innocent people hiding and fearful of what was happening around them. The vicious rogues were growling loudly and attacking anyone who crossed their paths. There were some in their human forms using weapons made of sterling silver, a lethal weapon for wolves. As I ran through the crowd of people in search of Enzo’s mother, I was grabbed by a rogue who had a dagger firmly in his grip. He swung the dagger in my direction, and I managed to dodge the attack while counterattacking and landing him on the ground. I grabbed the dagger from his grip and plunged it into his chest before pulling it out and running off

with it. At least now I had a weapon. More rogues in wolf form lunged at me; to dodge them I kicked myself into the air and flipped over them, landing on the ground behind them. I managed to jump on the back of one of them and twist his neck until it broke, I finished him off with a dagger in his throat. The other rogue stared at me with a terror clear in his eyes but before he could react, I threw the dagger in a perfect spiral and watched as it landed deep in his chest. He fell to the ground, and I climbed off the rogue I was still on and fetched the dagger I had thrown. I went to turn and run in another direction when I almost ran directly into a woman who was running in my direction. We both nearly fell to the ground. “Diana?” I breathed. “Lila?” She gasped. “You came! You heard my cries for help!” Tears filled her frightened eyes. Without thinking I closed the small gap between us and hugged Enzo’s mother with all my strength. She hugged me back but only for a moment; there was still war going on around us and we needed to remain focused. “Is Enzo with you?” Diana asked, pulling away and staring at me with such worry in her gaze. I looked around for a moment, frowning. “He was here, yes. But I’m not sure where he is now,” I said, furrowing my brows together. From the corner of my eye, I saw a rogue lunging at Diana. Before I could grasp what was fully happening, I grabbed her and threw her to the ground and out of his reach. I threw the dagger with all my force in the direction of the rogue and heard him screaming out in agony as he fell to the ground. “We need to the safe house,” Diana cried. “There are women and children there. I need to make sure they are safe.” I nodded, helping her to her feet. “Lead the way.” She nodded in return and started to run in that direction; I followed closely behind her, trying to shield

all attacks that came at her. I got a quick glimpse of Enzo and my father fighting alongside one another with the other warriors. Enzo met my eyes, and I gave him an encouraging nod as I continued to follow Diana until we reached a small brick building. “This is the safe house?” I asked, raising my brows. “This building leads to underground tunnels,” she explained. “It’s something I’ve been creating in case we need to evacuate quickly. But they aren’t finished yet. They don’t lead anywhere. But the access points to the tunnels are hidden so the tunnels are a safe place for right now.” I was relieved to hear that they had something like that here. Diana was incredibly smart; it was no wonder she felt she needed to stay here with the other Volanas. As we slid into the building, Diana went toward a hidden passageway and she was right, I wouldn’t have seen it at first glance. It almost looked like a wall but dipped down into a small hole. We slid under the wall and were met with a steep hill that had tree trunks and branches as stairs. I wondered how she was able to create something like this but decided now was not the time to ask. By the time we reached the bottom, and my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the tunnels, I heard frantic voices around the corner, and I knew that’s where the women and children were hiding. Diana made her way around that corner, and we were met by a bunch of different people of different ages, huddled together and trying to calm one another down. The children were sobbing, and it was clear that everyone was terrified. “Diana!” One of the cried. “What’s happening up there? We’ve been down here for so long.” “It’s not looking good,” Diana said honestly as she went toward a couple of people who were curled up on the ground. I realized there was blood on their arms and legs. They were hurt… “There’s too many of them,” Diana said, her voice breaking. “Where’s the first aid kit?”

“We don’t have one down here…” one of the injured ones said through gasps of breath. It was a young boy, maybe 16 or 17 years old. He must have been trying to fight alongside the men up there. My heart tugged painfully for them. Even from the tunnels, I could hear the commotion of the fighting. There were some explosions too that made me wince and I wondered if Enzo or my father was hurt in any of those explosions. “I’d feel it if he was hurt,” Val reassured me. “Regardless of how weak I am… I will always feel if our mate is in trouble.” That was a relief to know. “Shit,” Diana murmured. “It might be in the infirmary and the last I saw it, it was on fire.” I heard the distress cries of everyone around me. I couldn’t just stand here and do nothing; I wasn’t going to hide. “I’ll go,” I said quickly, staring at Diana who met my eyes. “I can get into the infirmary. I’ll get whatever supplies you need; just give me a list and I’ll get it.”
