Chapter 53 – Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel

Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel

“Beta?” Bethany asked, staring around at the man’s unmanly fatigue. There’s nothing about him that screams ‘Beta.’ Omega, maybe, but not a Beta.

“Yes,” Ethan said, bowing his head slightly. “Of course, I report everything to Enzo when he’s not here and Enzo returns every weekend and sometimes, he returns during the week for emergency situations. He’s incredibly aware and active when it comes to his pack.”

“I see,” she said with fondness in her tone.

Her future husband was certainly quite the man. Her heart was racing at the very thought of him. She must meet him right away; she knew for sure that once he met her, he would fall in love with her and wish to marry her at once.

“I suppose I’ll be going to the school for a visit,” she said as she turned her perfectly formed body and began walking toward her waiting car.

Her bodyguards followed closely behind her.

…

Bethany had never been to a normal school; she had been homeschooled her entire life and she certainly never needed to go to college. She wasn’t sure how she felt about being there; she wasn’t even sure where to start looking for Alpha Enzo.

She kept herself in a disguise, not wanting to be recognized. She pulled her long blonde and thick hair into a ponytail and put on a pair of her designer sunglasses. She wore a long coat over her glamorous outfit and pulled the hood over her head.

She even made her bodyguards wait by the car.

“I will mindlink if I need backup,” she assured them.

The first place she decided to look was something called “the student lounge.”

It looked like a large number of students had just gone in there and surely one of them would know where she could find Enzo.

As she went in there, she frowned at all the students who didn’t recognize her through her disguise. Though, she got some strange looks from those who questioned her attire.

She paid them no attention as she walked through; she frowned for she didn’t see any signs of Enzo in this lounge.

Where could he be?

Across from the lounge, sitting at one of the tables, she saw a young girl with long dark hair and a pretty face. She was very young, maybe even the youngest one there.

It wasn’t the fact that she was young that stood out, it was her eyes.

They were two different colors.

How strange, she thought to herself.

Bethany wasn’t often threatened by other she-wolves, but this one made her uneasy.

She approached the girl who was speaking with a couple of others at the same table; none of them noticed Bethany until she cleared her throat loudly to get her attention.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you there,” the girl said with a kind smile. “Can I help you with something?”

“I’m looking for someone, yes. He goes by the name Enzo. He’s an Alpha and I hear he’s also a professor here,” Bethany went on to say.

The girl frowned and stared around Bethany’s unrecognizable face.

“I’m his student,” she said, standing to her feet. “He’s probably in the arena. He practices his combat at this hour. I can take you to him if you’d like.”

“That would be lovely,” Bethany said, following the girl out of the lounge.

“I’m sorry, who did you say you were again?” The girl asked, peering over at Bethany as they walked across the campus and toward a much larger building.

“I didn’t…” Bethany said with uninterest in her tone. “I’m Beth… and I’m the woman Enzo is going to marry.” .

Layla’s POV

What did she just say?

The woman Enzo is going to marry?

But what about Connie?

I wanted to ask, but I thought against it.

The woman seemed so sure of her words, and I had no idea who she was. Though I had to admit, she kind of looked familiar. It was almost like she didn’t want anyone to see her face because it was covered with giant glasses, and she had a hood over her head.

I must have looked as dumbfounded as I felt because she stared me over carefully and then started to laugh.

My face instantly started to warm, and I felt embarrassed for a moment as I turned away and continued to the academic center.

“Truth be told, we have yet to meet. But I’m sure once he meets me, he won’t be able to resist,” she said casually.

A knot formed in the pit of my stomach and suddenly, I wasn’t feeling so well.

I wasn’t sure what to say in response.

“How do you know about Enzo if you’ve never met him?” I asked, trying not to look at her; I didn’t want her to see the sorrow on my face.

“I saw him in a magazine,” she answered. “Plus, my father is an Alpha, so he told me plenty about him.”

“I see,” I said, keeping my tone even.

We finally reached the arena, and I was hesitant before opening the door. I was about to introduce my mate to his future Luna.

My heart ached at the very thought.

I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and pushed the doors open.

My breath nearly got caught in my throat when I saw that Enzo was shirtless and fighting hard in the arena. He was alone and he looked incredible.

My heart was racing as it often did whenever I was around him and our moments outside the dance invaded my mind. We hadn’t really spoken since then; it was like he was pretending that moment never happened.

Not that I could blame him.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed how handsome Enzo was, Beth was by my side instantly and gawking at him.

I thought for a moment that she was going to start drooling.

“Oh, my goddess,” she breathed. “He’s even better looking in person.”

That was an understatement.

I felt a growl escaping my wolf as this woman gawked at our mate; Val was not happy about this, and I didn’t blame her.

Enzo noticed us soon enough and he frowned when he saw me standing awkwardly at the doorway with a woman he has never seen before.

He dropped his fighting stick and strolled over to us; I bit my lip to keep from making any sounds. But my goddess, he was so hot.

“What are you doing in here?” He asked, staring directly at me.

I couldn’t even form the words to say, but thankfully, I didn’t have to.

Beth spoke for me.

“I apologize, I asked if she could bring me to you,” Bethany said, holding out her hand for him to take. He stared at it for a moment and then back at her face.

“And you are?”

She chuckled.

“The woman you are destined to marry,” she cooed.

At that point, she removed her hood, and took her ponytail out, allowing her thick and gloriously shimmering blonde hair to fall around her shoulders and down her back.

Then, she started to take off her sunglasses.

I gasped loudly.

That’s why she looked so familiar!

I had every single one of her albums!!

Bethany Rochelle!

I stared over at Enzo with large and shocked eyes; he didn’t look as shocked though. Or interested.

He looked more bothered than anything.

“Goddammit, John,” he muttered.

“Don’t blame my father,” Bethany said, stepping closer to him. “I was the one who insisted on coming to see you for myself.”

Were they talking about Alpha John?

He was her father?

How had I not known that?

I was so shocked I couldn’t even move or speak; I was just stunned in place. I was staring between the two of them like a dear in headlights.
