My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 4 – 18(th) birthday party

Lila's POV

My mother took one look at my face and started laughing.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?” She asked.

“Enzo is Blaise's son?” I asked; I was completely and utterly shocked. “I had no idea he had kids.”My mother nodded.

“I don't think Enzo was ever close to his father,” she explained. “I believe he lived with his mother ina different pack. When his father died, he went back to Calypso. Being Blaise’s only living relativeand all.”

“If 1 had known he was Blaise's son, I wouldn't have invited him. I'm so sorry..."

“Sorry? Why are you sorry? I'm glad you invited him. Your father will be pleased. He rather likesEnzo. Said he has a good head on his shoulder. He's nothing like his father, that's for sure.”

"So, we trust him?” I asked, raising my brows.

“Lila bean, we can't fault Enzo for something his father did. You should know that better thananyone.”

She gave me a small smile, staring around my concerned face. She placed a hand on my shoulder,causing me to meet her eyes.

“I promise, if there's something you need to be concerned with, I will tell you,” she said gently. “Butfor right now, there isn't. Enzo is not a villain. Those days are behind us.”

I felt better knowing she wasn't worried. I trusted my mother more than anyone.

"So, when were you going to tell me about Scott?” My mother asked as we made our way out of theapartment. I paused and turned to her.

"How did you know about that?” I asked.

I always had this strong idea of what true love would look like. My parents have true love; that wasalways the vision I had for myself. I wanted someone who loved me just as much as I loved them.Who would do anything for me. Someone that would die for me. But I don’t envision Enzo beingthat person. And I wasn't even sure why.

I guess I never really envisioned Scott being that person either.

Enzo's eyes scanned the room briefly as the Alphas continued talking to him. It was like he waslooking for something. As soon as his eyes landed on me, it was like he found it. His eyes darkenedonly slightly. I gave him a polite smile, hoping that my face didn't reveal my thoughts. His faceremained expressionless though; he eventually pulled his eyes away from me to speak to the otherAlphas.

The nerve of that guy.

It was my birthday, and he couldn't even come over to greet me?

"Happy birthday, kiddo,” my uncle Aiden, the beta of the pack, said as he approached. He gave me aquick hug.

“Thanks,” I say to him with a broad smile.

"How did you manage to get Alpha Enzo to show up?” He asked, following my gaze to Enzo whostill paid me no attention. “That guy hates parties.”

"How do you hate parties?” I asked, raising my brows.

"He's always been odd like that. Ever since he was a kid. He's always only had one focus and thatwas to get to the top. I admire his ambitions honestly, but it would be nice to see him smile once ina while.”

“He doesn't smile?”

“I don't think I've ever seen him smile,” Aiden answered.

The only type of smile I've seen him do was smirking. I thought he’s come close to a real smile whenI told Sarah off in the middle of his class, but I was probably mistaken. As I looked back over atEnzo, he was looking directly at me.

Third Person POV

“She completely embarrassed me in the class,” Sarah cried to her new boy-toy Scott.

She doesn't think of Scott as her boyfriend, she just wanted to see if she could steal him away fromLila.

Which she did.

Ever since Lila started going to the academy, everyone's attention has always been on Lila. Sarahused to be the best student and now it was Lila. Sarah used to be the center of attention, but nowall anyone ever talks about is Lila.

She doesn't care that Lila is Alpha Bastien’s daughter; she doesn't have a wolf so that makes her anobody in Sarah's eyes. She's worse than an Omega.

“You should have heard what she said to me, Scott,” Sarah continued to huff. “She also said that youweren't man enough to handle her.”

“Says someone who wouldn't put out,” Scott said with an eye roll. “Just forget about her. Whoneeds her.”

“You're right...” Sarah agreed. “But that doesn't mean I'm going to stand for it.”

"What does that mean? What are you planning on doing?

“I overheard her talking to Professor Enzo after class today. She invited him to her birthday party.”"Okay?" Scott urged.

“I think it's time we crash a party.”
