I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV

“Someday soon, Enzo will realize what a terrible mistake he’s made,” Felicity said, rolling her eyes at

me.

“And I suppose you think that you’re more suitable to be the Luna?” I asked, straightening my

shoulders.

“Obviously,” she scoffed. “Like I said, I know this pack very well. I know Enzo very well. I know what he

likes and what he doesn’t like. You are a dangerous nobody who will get everybody killed eventually.

You shouldn’t be around people.”

“If Enzo truly felt that way then he would have rejected me long ago without a second thought. But he

hasn’t. In fact…” I moved my hair away from my neck. Her eyes faltered on my mark and her sly grin

fell.

“He trusted me enough to mark me. I guess that means he trusts me enough to help him run his pack.”

She was silent; her eyes never leaving my mark.

I wasn’t going to entertain this conversation any longer. I stepped around her and began walking back

in the direction of Diana’s room. I felt a cold chill wrap around my body, making me shiver. More than

anything, I just wanted to be tucked away into Enzo’s arms and feel his warmth.

I knew that Felicity was just talking out of her ass; I know that Enzo loves me. But she still had a little

truth in her words. I haven’t learned everything about my abilities yet and they are still unpredictable.

Until I can learn how to control them fully and find out the extent of what I can do, I will always be a

danger to anyone I encounter.

How could I help run Enzo’s pack? How could I expect his pack to trust me, when I barely trust me?

The thought caused an ache in my chest, and I paused just outside the door, unable to enter. I placed

my hand on my chest, feeling my rapid heartbeat and trying everything I could to settle it down.

Her words shouldn’t have affected me like this; I need to learn to brush this kind of attack off my back.

It’s going to be unavoidable, and I already knew this. Enzo was so handsome that it would be foolish to

think that others wouldn’t want him as well.

I wondered what his relationship with Felicity was before I came into the picture. She, and another girl,

said hi to him when we were headed toward the dining room for breakfast the morning after he marked

me. He didn’t seem super interested in her though; he said hi in return and moved on.

There wasn’t anything unusual about the encounter; except for the fact that she couldn’t stop glaring at

me.

I took in a deep breath and reached for the door handle. It would only be a matter of time before—”

“Lila? What’s wrong?”

Before I could even touch the doorknob, the door was swinging open, and Enzo was rushing toward

me.

I stood frozen as he wrapped his warm arms around my body, pulling me close to him. Val was wiggling

with satisfaction, and I knew Max was probably happy too. I melted into him; taking in his scent and

feeling the comfort his body provided me.

I buried my face in his chest; it took everything I had not to cry. But I wanted him to know just how

strong I was. Crying was for weak little girls. I was not a weak little girl.

“I’m okay,” I breathed into him, lifting my gaze to meet his.

“I can feel your emotions. I know something is wrong,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me.

My face reddened as he poured his gaze into mine.

That stupid mark. I forgot he could feel my distress and vice versa.

“I watched a little girl fall,” I explained, not wanting to start anything within his pack, so I left out the

part about Felicity. “She hurt her arm. But I helped her.”

His frown deepened as he stared around my face like he was searching for something.

“There’s more,” he said, squinting his eyes at my face.

It wasn’t a question, but I sighed and nodded.

“I had a run-in with a she-wolf,” I told him. “Felicity.”

I swear I thought the color in his face drained as I spoke her name. His body tensed and he was staring

at me through the void of his eyes.

“She told me I was dangerous and that I wouldn’t make a good Luna. That I would get everyone killed.

She wants to be the Luna. She thinks she knows this pack way better and…” my voice trailed off, and I

was unable to keep the tears at bay. “She thinks she knows you better.”

Enzo’s jaw tightened and I saw the anger filling his eyes now. He was staring down the empty hallway,

the direction he knew I came from.

“Can you stay with my mother?” Enzo asked, his voice hardened and unfamiliar. “I’ll be right back.”

He released his hold on me and began to walk away, but I grabbed onto his arm, stopping him.

“It’s okay. Really,” I said, trying to force a bright smile. “Please don’t make a scene because of this.”

“She threatened her future Luna,” Enzo seethed through his teeth. “I’m not letting her get away with

this. Also, what room was that little girl in? I’d like to pay her a visit as well to make sure she’s okay.”

“Room 210,” I answered, my tone coming out soft.

He nodded and turned away again. He was gone before I could even think to protest.

“Lila? Is that you, darling?”

I blinked a couple of times and turned to face Diana. I forgot her door was open a crack. She probably

heard that entire conversation.

I pushed the door all the way open and stepped inside before closing it behind me.

“Where did my son run off to?” She asked, her voice low, but kind.

“He went to check on someone,” I told her, not sure how much I should tell her. But she rose brows,

indicating that she knew there was more to it. Mothers always knew. At least that’s what my mother

always said. “I ran into an altercation,” I admitted. “He wants to deal with it in his own way.”

I walked closer to her bedside, keeping my gaze downward.

To my surprise, she chuckled.

“That sounds like my Enzo,” she said, shaking her head, but then wincing in pain at the motion.

It broke my heart.

“Don’t move too much,” I said, sitting down in the chair Enzo was sitting in.

“I’m old. That would have hurt even if this didn’t happen to me,” she said with a light laugh, making me

smile. “But I’m glad I can talk to you alone for a few minutes. I’m honestly surprised he brought you to

see me.”

“Enzo loves you very much,” I tell her simply.

“I love him very much as well,” Diana smiled. “You are quite beautiful; I can see the attraction he has

for

you.”

I blushed at her words; I couldn’t keep the grin off my face. But then Felecity’s words came back to

haunt me, and I suddenly felt very small.

“What is it?” She asked, staring around my face curiously. “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay,” I said, forcing a smile.

She kept that frown on her face though.

“Is it what that girl said to you?”

I stared at her in shock.

“How did you know?” I asked, staring at her intently.

She pointed to her ear.

“I have strong hearing. My wolf might be old, but she’s still strong,” Diana said with a faint smile, but

then she frowned again as she searched my face.

“I know that Enzo loves me and that he doesn’t want her. She just wants to be a Luna; she doesn’t care

about Enzo or the pack,” I said, staring down at my hands.

“If you already know that, then why are you sad?”

I thought about it for a moment longer and then sighed.

“Because part of what she said was right. I am dangerous and I could get the pack killed If I’m not

careful. I don’t know if Enzo told you a lot about me, but I’m a Volana wolf. I don’t have a lot of

experience with my abilities and I’m not fully trained. I could lose control and hurt someone. I don’t

trust me… I can’t expect Enzo’s pack to trust me…”

I wasn’t sure what compelled me to tell her all of this, but it felt good to talk to someone. She stared at

me with such love and compassion in her eyes that it caused my heart to swell.

“Enzo deserves better than me… It’s no wonder he hated me at first.”

“I don’t think I know what you mean,” Diana said, arching an eyebrow. “Hated you?”

I nodded and met her eyes; this time, I couldn’t hide the tears threatening to escape.

“He hated me for a while in the beginning because I’m a Volana. He didn’t trust me…”

She stared at me for a moment longer and then she let out a breath I didn’t know she was holding.

“Lila… I think there’s something you need to know.”
