My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0455 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 hadn't 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 I awake, she'd want me to rip his head off his I 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. I Without a word, he turned and walked out the I door. I followed closely behind him and once I we were outside, I grabbed his arm firmly I 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.” “My father asked you to come here?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “You, out of all his gammas?” He raised his brows at my statement.

“Yes; I'm one of his best,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “Do you have an issue with how I do my job? I think I've been doing great I I as a gamma.” I “You might be great at being a gamma, but you are shitty at being a man,” I seethed. “You hurt my best friend and—" “Is that what this is about?” Alex asked and I I could hear in his voice that he was stifling a I laugh. “Some petty teenage drama?” “This isn't just teenage drama, Alex, and you know it,” I said, pretty taken aback by his cruel words.

How could he be so heartless? It's obvious he never cared for Brianna.

Poor Brianna was still recovering after being

rejected.

“Look, I love Brianna and I probably always will. She was my first mate and that's a bond that can't be broken. At least not easily,” Alex said, sounding even smugger by the moment.

But she isn't as powerful as an Alpha’s daughter. She's not even a Beta's daughter. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She can't get me what I want in life and because of that, I had to do what was best for me.” “What do you even want in life, Alex?” I found myself asking, generously curious.

“I want what every great wolf wants. Power,” he said; then he smirked. “Eileen can give me the power I want. Brianna couldn't. It's as simple as that.” “Bri deserves a lot better than a scumbag like you,” I said through my teeth.

“Maybe so, but I'm still the gamma they put in charge of keeping your spoiled ass safe,” he said in return. 1 A growl escaped my lips as I spun away on my heels and walked back towards the dining

hall.

“You won't even notice I'm here!” He called from behind me.

“I already did,” I murmured and then I went into the dining hall without another word.

My friends were still sitting at the table eating their food; Brody and Becca slid out of the booth so I could resume my seat and continue eating.

“Everything okay?" Becca asked.

“Yeah,” I said; though, I was biting my lip. “I just had to deal with something.” We talked for a bit more while we ate and then once we were done, I started toward the arena to see Enzo after his last class. I tried to pay Alex no attention, but I could clearly see him watching me from a distance and it was infuriating.

At least I didn't have to pretend Enzo wasn't my mate around him; everybody in both my father's pack and Enzo’s pack was aware that we were mates. Just as I rounded the corner,

and the arena doors came into view, I felt a strong hold on my wrist pulling me into a nearby supply closet, trapping me in the dark atmosphere.
