I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Enzo’s POV

“What can I help you with?” I asked, trying to retain my professionalism and not let the annoyance get

the best of me.

“I feel like we didn’t end things on the proper note and it’s completely my fault. I wanted to apologize

in a proper way. If you’d let me.”

“It’s not necessary,” I said, seconds away from hanging up.

“I know I did you wrong and I’m sorry for that. I shouldn’t have spoken to your helpers like that. I wish

you would give me a chance to explain myself….”

“I don’t need you to explain anything, Bethany.”

“Please, Alpha. Allow to me apologize by treating you to dinner soon. Please say yes…”

…

Lila’s POV

I couldn’t get Enzo out of my mind regardless of how hard I tried. I hated that I couldn’t stop thinking

about him.

I shook my head at the thought and continued studying.

Finals were only a few days away and I didn’t have the time to wallow over a guy. Especially not a guy

who’s my professor.

“Did you practice a lot with Professor Enzo?” Becca asked, peering over at me. “Do you feel

prepared?”

I thought about it for a moment; I thought about how to answer that question.

“I think so,” I said honestly. “He told me the three components of his examination. Weapon battle, hand

battle, and shifting battle. As long as we do all three, then we can pass.”

“That’s a relief,” she said with a light laugh. “I can do all those things. At least, I think I can…”

“Oh, and another thing…” I said, glancing over at her. “We are using real weapons.”

“What?” She gasped loudly. “But we’ve only ever seen fake weapons. How does he expect us to use

real

ones without hurting each other?”

“We will have to be incredibly careful,” I said in return. “I have faith in us that we will be able to pass

these finals with flying colors.”

She looked uncertain for a few moments, but then she smiled and nodded.

“I completely agree with you,” she finally said, glancing down at her books.

For the rest of the afternoon, we studied together. By the end of the night, I was feeling an

overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

As I was returning to my dorm, I paused when I saw Brody looking worried by the student lounge. He

was speaking on the phone for a moment before hanging up and shoving it into his pocket.

I could tell from his face that something was seriously wrong.

“Brody?” I asked, stepping toward him.

He paused when he saw me, and I could tell he was forcing a smile.

“What’s wrong?” I asked him with a worried frown.

He looked at me for a short moment before sighing.

“The Alpha banquet is after graduation and I don’t have a date,” he said, shaking his head with dismay

written all over his face.

Of course, I had heard about the Alpha banquet. My father attends every year.

It’s a gathering of Alphas that they have at least once a year. They have amazing food and drinks and a

lot of music with dancing.

“As a future Alpha, this is my first time going; I’m going to look stupid if I attend alone…” Brody

continued.

Most Alphas have a future Luna lined up.

I completely forgot about this even with everything going on and I didn’t even think about Enzo

attending it.

He didn’t even ask me about it. I couldn’t help the disappointed feeling I felt. This event was supposed

to happen before my trip to Monstro, just before summer. So, it’s not like I couldn’t attend.

“No, you won’t,” I tried to assure him. “You could never look like a fool Brody. You don’t need a

potential Luna lined up. You’re incredibly strong and brave. You should be proud of your achievements

already.”

“This is really important,” he sighed. “I want everyone to know that I can be the Alpha they need and

deserve.”

“And you will be, With or without a luna,” I assured him.

I hadn’t even thought about such an event because of everything going on but the realization dawned

on me as soon as Brody had mentioned it.

Enzo hadn’t asked me to this event, and I understood why. Though it hurt a little, I wasn’t going to

stress about it; not now anyways.

“I have an idea,” Brody said, eyeing me carefully. “Why don’t you come with me?”

I stared up at him in shock; attending the Alpha banquet with an Alpha was kind of a big deal.

Everybody would think I was his future Luna.

“I don’t think that would be a good idea,” I said with a nervous chuckle. “Plus, I have to prepare for my

trip to Monstro. So, I don’t really have a lot of time.”

“It’s only for one night,” he said with a frown. “It would be fun to hang out before you leave. Can you at

least think about it?”

I sighed but I nodded.

“I’ll think about it.”

We parted ways shortly after that conversation and I went back to my dorm room.

I left my phone on my bed for most of the day. It was almost the last weekend of the semester, and I

was growing more nervous as time moved forward.

Pretty soon, this semester will be over, and I will be on my way to Monstro for the summer.

“I don’t like being away from our mate for this long,” Val breathed sadly, bowing her head in defeat.

“We should bring him with us or stay with him.”

“This is my dream, Val,” I told her. “I can’t just back out of it. Plus, I already promised Cassidy-Ann that I

would accompany her. She bought the plane tickets and everything.”

I could feel Val’s sadness over the situation, and I didn’t blame her. It was going to be hard being away

from him for this long.

He hasn’t even mentioned the trip to me since finding out about it. I was thinking maybe he just didn’t

care at all.

My heart was sad, but I suppose it didn’t matter.

The next morning, I woke up to a text from Brianna.

“We should go into town tonight and go shopping for your trip!” she said excitedly.

That actually sounded really good. I could use some girl time and Bri had a good eye for fashion. She

could help me pick out some really nice clothing for my trip to Monstro.

“That sounds great!” I texted in return. “I’ll see if Becca wants to come with us.”

“I’ll come to Higala tonight! They have the best boutiques. We can grab some dinner too!”

Later that night, Brianna arrived at the academy.

Becca and Brianna came to my dorm room, excited for a little shopping therapy. I was excited too. We

hardly ever got to do something like this, and it would be nice to get my mind off of things.

It’ll be nice to get my mind off Enzo.

Higala on a Friday night was absolutely perfect.

The lights around the city were perfect; it was swarming with people and music.

We went to different boutiques and picked out a bunch of clothing, a lot of cute summer outfits, and

bathing suits.

As we walked on the sidewalks of the busy city, I smelled something absolutely delicious.

Val perked up as well and I could feel her excitement.

It had to have been a restaurant with the most delicious food. My stomach was growling at the very

thought. I went in the direction of the amazing aroma with Bri on my trail.

I paused as I got to a window of a small restaurant.

I breathed in the amazing scent and heard the howling of my wolf in my mind. She was way too excited

for this food.

Once I got a look in the window to see the food that was making my mouth water and my wolf crazy,

my heart dropped into my stomach, and I stared in shock.

It wasn’t food at all.

It was Professor Enzo.

And he wasn’t alone.

Sitting across from him, chuckling and touching his arm, was Bethany.

They were on a date.
