My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0498 ~ Lila’s POV “It feels so good to run!!!” Val cooed excitedly after we completed our £4(th) and final lap.

By the time I shifted back into my human form, I was panting and breathless. I quickly ran to the side of the field and put my clothing back on. Most wolves were used to being naked around one another. It becomes second nature pretty quickly growing up because when we shift, we have to do it naked, or we will ruin our clothing.

Most packs have chests of clothing in the woods in case we have to shift in the woods, but we aren’t opposed to being naked around one another. However, that didn’t mean I wanted to stand around naked while waiting for my classmates to finish their laps. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Sarah was the next to finish the laps and went to fetch her clothing as well. I hadn’t spoken to her about joining the committee yet; I suppose I'had to do that soon because our first meeting was only a few hours away and I'd like her to be a part of it.

Becca said she recruited one boy from her werewolf history class, Luis.

I’ve seen him around campus, and I’ve often seen him studying with Becca in the library when they are about to take an exam. But I wouldn't say I was super familiar with him. However, Becca said he wanted to join the committee and be a part of something important, and plus, we needed the members, so I wasn’t going to deny him.

Brody mentioned that there was someone on his football team, Matt, who might join as well. I guess I just had to wait and see if he sho wed up. But I knew Matt was a bear, but also very strong and pretty good at school as well. He was also a guy that all the girls went crazy over. He might be a good addition to the committee and bring it some popularity.

I was excited for our first meeting tonight; now I just had to hope that Sarah would join us. If not for us, then for Brody.

I already sent out a group text for those I knew were going to attend the meeting to meet us in room 210 of the academic center. I spent all morning planning out this meeting with Becca and we already have a few future projects lined up.

I wished that Rachel would have joined us to help us plan for tonight’s meeting, but she’s been acting strange lately and said she had something to do. But she never elaborates on what exactly she has to do.

Brushing the thought out of my head, I approached Sarah once she was fully dressed.

“Hey,” 1 said, stepping beside her.

She was watching the other students run the rest of their laps and she glanced at me with a questionable frown.

“Look, you don’t have to pretend to be nice to me just because we are keeping each other's secrets,” she muttered, folding her arms across

her chest.

“I’m not...” I was about to say but then I stopped myself and took a steady deep breath. “I wanted to invite you to join the student committee.” She raised her brows and looked like she was about to laugh in my face.

“Even if I wanted to join your stupid little club, I’m not allowed, remember? Grounded,” she said, rolling her eyes and turning back to the other students who were just finishing their laps.

“Actually, you can,” I said to her, turning her attention back to me. “I already talked to Headmaster Prescott and decided it might be good for you to learn to work as a team.” “And work as a lesser version of you? No thanks,” she scoffed.

“Don’t you want to make up for what you did to the students? They don’t trust you right now, Sarah. You broke that trust and traumatized alot of them. You told me you were going to apologize to them; this is a good way to prove that you are different and that you truly are sorry.” “And what makes you think anyone else would want me on the committee?” She asked, furrowing her brows together. “Like you said, they don’t trust me. I traumatized them.” “You have to earn that trust back somehow,” I.said shrugging.

~ Headmaster Prescott said you can be a part of the committee and learn to work as a team and deal with working under my authority. But you can’t participate in any school activities yet. It was the best I could do for you.” ~ She was quiet for a moment as she stared at me.

“Is this your way of getting me back?” She asked, pressing her lips firmly together. “Making me work under you?” “If you want to look at it that way, then that’s fine. But in my eyes, it’s away you can give back to the school after you took away their free will and their memories. What you did was awful and it’s going to take alot for them to trust you again. This is a good way to start,” I said, shrugging. “If you decide you want to join the committee, you can come to our first meeting tonight and I'll give you the form to fill out.

It’s in room 210 at 8 pm.”
