Lila’s POV
Once Enzo and I had spoken, I was finally able to sleep.
He was returning as a professor, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried about it. I was
nervous that somehow, we would be found out. I mean last time he was my professor we weren’t
planning on a future together.
Yeah, we were mates, but he was going to reject me after graduation, and it wasn’t going to be
anything more. That was before our trip to Monstro, and everything changed. That was before I realized
my true feelings for him and gave him a part of myself that I could never get back, nor would I want
back.
That was before he marked me, and I had to walk around hiding the very mark I was so proud of. I
wished I could wear it loud and proud, so everyone knew who I belonged to and who belonged to me.
But I couldn’t do any of those things. I had to keep our love in the dark and it was going to be torture
for me.
It was doable when he wasn’t a professor, and I could just go about my day, but now he was going to
be at the school all the time. Teachers and students were going to flirt with him as they always did, and I
was going to have to keep my mouth shut.
It was such a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that I couldn’t help being worried. But as I lay
beside my mate and peered up at his beautiful, sleeping face, I had no worries at that moment and that
was enough to calm me to sleep.
And sleep, I did.
……
I only slept for a few hours because I didn’t want to screw up my sleep schedule too much. I’ll be able to
sleep once I get back to school tonight.
The packhouse was ghostly quiet when I emerged from Enzo’s room; Enzo wasn’t in bed when I woke
up, so I assumed he was interrogating Xander with the others. I wondered if he got any answers from
him or if the entire thing was becoming pointless.

Dee was in the kitchen and the smell of delicious food made its way to my senses. She gave me a large
smile.
“I was just making dinner for the pack. Care to help?” She asked, peering over at me.
“Sure,” I said, grabbing an apron off the rack and joining her at the counter.
“Good; can you chop those veggies on the cutting board?” She asked.
“Of course,” I said, grabbing a large knife and chopping the veggies.
“I hear Hazel might be well enough to return home,” Dee said, glancing at me sideways. “Which means
your mother will be relieved of her duties there soon.”
“Knowing my mom, she will probably stick around a little longer once she’s sure they no longer need
her,” I chuckled. “That’s something she’d do.”
Dee chuckled.
“I don’t doubt that,” she said in return. “I have faith that pretty soon you’ll be able to rest easy knowing
that all these bad guys who have been out to get you are locked away and out of reach.”
“I hope so,” I murmured as I continued to chop the veggies. “I guess I’m just a little worried about who
sent Xander to me. There has to be some kind of big boss that put him up to this. Maybe someone Paul
was working with… or working for.”
The thought left me unsettled; I thought Paul was the one we had to be worried about but now it seems
like there’s another.
“Enzo isn’t going to let anything happen to you. Especially now that he’s back at that school. He’s going
to be keeping a watchful eye on you.”
“How did you know he was returning to school?” I asked, raising my brows. We had only just spoken
about this yesterday and I didn’t realize Enzo had the chance to talk to many others.
“I saw him earlier before he went downstairs to speak to our guest,” Dee said, a grim look on her face as
she said the word “guest.”
“I see,” I said; I was becoming lost in thought again as I continued to wonder who sent Xander and what
exactly they were looking for.
“Try not to overthink things dears,” she said gently. “Things have a funny way of working out.”
I nodded and smiled.
Dinner was ready within the hour and by the time we were placing everything in the dining hall, my
stomach was angrily growling. Dee sent a mindlink to the pack telling them that dinner was ready and
soon the entire dining hall was flooded with pack members.
I grabbed a plate for myself and helped myself to some food before joining Dee in the kitchen where it
was a bit quieter. I sat at the counter and ate my food slowly; she ate her food as well and we continued
to have a light conversation about nothing in particular. It was nice to feel casual and not be pressured
into talking about the things that had happened.
It wasn’t something I wanted to think about right now.
Soon, Enzo and my father joined us in the kitchen with their plates of food.
“Dinner smells delicious, Dee,” Enzo said, sitting down beside me and giving me a gentle kiss. I knew he
had just showered from the calm and soapy smell of his body.
He did the same thing this morning too before he joined me in bed and took a couple-hour nap
considering we were awake all night. I wondered if he showered because he was covered in Xander’s
blood, and he didn’t want me to see it.
“Lila helped,” Dee said with a proud smile as she winked at me.
“She gets her cooking skills from her mother,” my father said, also giving me a proud smile “Great job,
sweetie.”
I smiled my thanks to him.
The four of us talked for a bit longer while we ate and then we all fell silent as we finished eating. By the
time dinner was over, I helped Dee clear the plates in the dining hall and clean all the dishes. She had
staff to help her as well, but I really wanted to give her my helping hand considering I was going to be
the pack’s luna eventually.
When everything was all clean, Enzo and I said our goodbyes and we left for the academy.
“Keep trying to get answers out of him,” Enzo instructed my father who nodded in agreement. “Keep
me updated as well. I’ll be back this weekend.”
“Sounds good,” my father said, shaking his hand.
When we got back to the school, it was just before curfew, and I was relieved that I wasn’t going to get
in trouble again. I hadn’t even told Enzo that I got in trouble the last time he dropped me off late and
how Alpha Johnathan was the one who basically saved me from that.
Enzo parked the car and turned off his headlights as he looked at me.
“Things have to be a bit different this time around,” he said, and I saw the seriousness on his face.
I nodded to him, knowing exactly what he meant.
“We have to be careful,” I said, trying to keep the worry out of my voice.
“And we will be,” he said, touching the side of my face gently.
By instinct, I leaned into his touch. I felt the electric current from his fingertips, causing my flesh to
tingle with excitement. I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from making any ridiculous sounds, but his
touch was just so amazing.
His very presence made my heart quickly I must be stupid if I thought this was going to be easy.
He could read that very emotion on my face too because he was soon leaning in and kissing me gently
on the lips. At first, the kiss was gentle, but then it deepened, and his tongue glided into my mouth,
swirling around my tongue. He kissed me with such hunger and passion it took my entire breath away.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself close to him until he took the initiative and pulled
me onto his lap.
He bit my bottom lip, hungrily drawing it into his mouth and sucking on it gently before devouring my
lips. I chuckled against him as I continued to kiss him and run my fingers through his dark hair. He
broke the kiss from my lips and trialed his mouth down the nape of my neck. He kissed the sweet spot
he had marked, and it sent goosebumps to attack my skin.
He ran his fingers down the side of my neck, brushing my long hair out of the way as he continued to
kiss down my shoulders and across my chest.
I grinded my hips against him, feeling him grow hard within his jeans and it only made my flesh burn
with desire. His eyes darkened as my body warmed. A growl escaped from his throat, and I swear I saw
the eyes of his wolf shining through, itching to be released.
I kissed him deeply, exploring his mouth with my tongue curiously and tasting everything, he had to
offer.
It was he who pulled away too soon, leaving me breathless and irritated.
“They gave me back my faculty house,” he breathed as I trailed my lips down the side of my neck.
“Okay?” I murmured against him, feeling his body through his shirt with my hands.
“We should go there together…” he said, causing me to freeze as I looked at him with wide eyes. I saw
the desires twinkling in his eyes. “If we are going to be more careful and not get caught, we probably
shouldn’t do this in the car in the parking lot in front of the dorms,” he went on to explain.
I was suddenly feeling warm for a whole different reason as I started to pull off him.
But he kept his hands firmly on my waist keeping me in place as he kissed the side of my mouth slowly.
“I also want to rip your clothes off,” he whispered. “I’d like to do that in bed…
