My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 2 – Shifting and Combat 101

Lila's POV

I couldn't believe that the man I had shared my first kiss with was my professor. Suddenly, it felt likethe arena wasn't big enough.

Professor Enzo was extremely handsome and incredibly muscular. I ran my eyes from his gorgeousgrey eyes down to his incredible 8 pack abs. His arms were large, and I could see small veinsappearing around his biceps. His dark, wavy hair was kind of shaggy, dancing around his broad andmanly features. He had sweat beading on his forehead and dripping down the side of his face, andsome more sweat on his chest, dripping down his torso.

My face instantly began to redden as he walked toward me.

“Can I help you with something?” He asked, raising his brows, and meeting my eyes.

“Sorry; I just transferred to this class,” I say to him, showing him my printed schedule. “I'm Lila..."He looked at the schedule briefly; silence growing thick between us as he pulled his eyes from theschedule and back onto my face.

“You can join the other students,” he said, turning away from me.

My eyes widened as I glanced at the others who were still fighting in their wolf forms. I swallowedthe lump that had formed in my throat.

"Actually, I can't shift,” I say quickly before he's able to walk away.

He freezes; for a moment, I thought I heard a low growl in the dept of his throat.

"What?" He asked in a disbelieving and slightly annoyed, tone. He turned back and I saw that hisgrey eyes were now dark and threatening. “What do you mean you can't shift?”

“I mean... I haven't gotten my wolf yet,” I tell him, biting my lip hard.

He glanced down at my mouth, staring as I chewed my bottom lip nervously. I could feel heatcirculating my features. My heart was pounding so quickly and loudly against my chest, I thought hewould be able to hear it.

"Why are you in a shifting and combat class if you can't shift?”

I got another glimpse of Professor Enzo as we passed, and I thought I saw a smile tugging at thecorner of his lips.

“Thank you for standing up for me,” Becca said in a low tone once we were a distance away. “I'mused to being bullied though. Omegas aren't typically liked around here...”

I rose my brows at her, confused.

"Why?" I asked. “Some of the best wolves I know are Omegas. They are incredibly kind and genuine.Don't let bullies like that make you think otherwise.”

She beamed a wide smile at me; I could tell she felt a lot better.

“It's obvious some people here don’t recognize you as Alpha Bastien’s daughter. Let's show themwhat you can do!”

I smiled at her words; that sounded like a perfect idea. I couldn't shift into my wolf form, whichmeant, I needed to wow them in other ways.

I faced Becca, getting into the stance I was most comfortable in.

Soon, we were both fighting.

She managed to dodge most of my attacks. However, I was holding back a lot. I didn't want to hurther.

I dodged her attacks with ease; she couldn't even come close to me. I could feel the eyes of theother students on me, their mouths gaping as I did an acrobatic move. Something I'm sure none ofthem were expecting.

I did a front flip, kicking my legs out and purposely missing Becca by a hair. Though, it frightenedher enough to stumble backward and lose her footing.

I grabbed a sphere off the wall of weapons, twirling it in my hands quickly, doing a somersault andtwirl move. She dodged the first attack thinking I was aiming for her head when I was actuallyaiming for her feet. So, she tried to dodge but instead tripped, falling to the ground again.

I stepped, lightly, on her chest, pinning her to the ground with the sphere pointed directly at her.She stared up at me with awe; everybody gasped.

I looked around, almost forgetting that there was an audience. None of them spoke for a long whileuntil a couple of them clapped. Then, almost everyone started cheering.

Everyone except Sarah and her friend.

I smiled pleased, taking my foot off Becca, and helping her to her feet.

“That was incredible!” She breathed, staring at me with wide eyes.

“It was nothing,” I shrugged, putting the sphere back on the rack.

I turned to see Professor Enzo staring at me; his arms folded across his chest and his faceexpressionless.

Before I could approach him and ask him what he thought, I heard beeping going across the arena.I frowned as I realized it was everybody's phone.

As they all went to check their phones, I heard the gasps and saw the shocked expressions. Beccacovered her mouth with her hand as she stared at her own phone.

"What's going on?" I asked, glancing over her shoulder.

As soon as I saw what they were all looking at, my heart plummeted into my stomach.

It was a picture of me... kissing... Professor Enzo.
