He paused to look at me again.

“You want me to be security?” He asked; he didn’t sound upset, just curious, and nodded at my response.

“Please?” I asked.

“I’ll get a team together. Just let me know when the dance is,” he agreed.

I wanted to hug him, but I thought about it and took a step back.

“Thank you, professor,” was all I managed to say.

…

Dee was more than happy to help me with the bake sale. I spent a lot of time with her over the course of the weeks, baking and selling until we had enough money for the dance.

The rest of the committee spent time getting signatures and support from our fellow classmates and faculty. Once we had everything, we needed it was time to start planning.

“We will have the dance this Saturday. We have tickets printed and ready for sale. All sales made for this will go into the dance funds and leftovers will go into the next event,” I announced to the student committee.

We sat in the lounge, making a big list of things we would need for the dance.

Tayla and Jackie volunteered to go shopping for all the supplies while the others were going to be busy helping me decorate and selling tickets.

“So, do you have a date for the dance?” Rachel asked the night before the dance.

“No, I’m just going to go by myself,” I told her with a shrug.

I was curled up in bed, exhausted after a long day.

“That’s so lame,” Rachel laughed, shaking her head. “There’s nobody at all that you’re interested in?”

I couldn’t tell her that I was mated with my professor.

“Let me guess, are you going with Ryan?” I asked teasingly, avoiding her question.

“Duh,” she said in return, tossing a pillow at me.

I laughed as I caught it.

“Brody asked me to the dance, but I declined,” I admitted, tossing the pillow back at her.

She shot to her feet and gasped loudly.

“What? Brody is fucking hot! Why would you decline him?” She asked a little too loudly.

“I’m not interested,” I said with a shrug.

“Are you insane? Any girl would be insane to turn him down.”

“I guess I’m insane,” I said with a smirk. “I did however tell him we can dance.”

“I guess that’s better than nothing,” she pouted as she sat back down. “I can’t believe you declined him though. Girl, you are wild for that.”

“Little does she know who our mate is,” Val cooed within me. “There’s nobody better looking than Enzo.”

I had to admit that my wolf was right. Enzo was quite dreamy to look at.

I could feel that Val wanted to be near him, and I didn’t want to deny her that. I also kind of wanted to make sure he was all set for the dance tomorrow. He’s head of the security team for the dance, and I had to be sure there was going to be a sufficient amount of security present.

It was early enough that he was most likely still awake.

“I’ll be right back,” I said to Rachel as I left our dorm.

The faculty had their own section of the school called “The faculty housing.”

There were small homes set up at the edge of the campus grounds where the professors and other faculty members lived. Each one had their own home; it was their home away from home. It was because the school was somewhat further away than most packs and the board didn’t want the faculty to commute back and forth daily. So, they had homes made.

I had never been to any of these homes; technically, students weren’t allowed to go to these homes. But Val knew exactly which one was Enzo’s.

He had a more private home; it was bordering the woods and you couldn’t really see the other homes where he was located. I’m guessing he requested that home for that specific reason. He was a very private person, and it didn’t surprise me.

My heart was racing as I stood at the front door; I had no idea what I was getting myself into. This was most likely going to end disastrously. It was a terrible idea to visit him here, especially at this hour.

But I couldn’t help myself.

I wasn’t in control anymore; Val was.

I knocked on his door, ignoring the nervous feeling bubbling in the pit of my stomach as I waited for him to answer. I waited a minute before knocking again, even louder this time.

There was a light in the house, so I knew he was home.

After another moment, I heard the door unlatching and the knob began to turn. I took a step back, taking a deep breath to steady my rapid heart rate and my trembling body.

He stood before me, staring at me like he had seen a ghost. I’m sure he wasn’t expecting me to be there.

I had forgotten what I was there for, to begin with. I bit onto my bottom lip, trying to come up with something to say but no words came to my lips.

Just as I opened my mouth to say something, I saw someone in the background.

It was Connie.

She was wearing nothing, but a towel wrapped around her naked body; her hair was wet like she had just come out of the shower, and she was searching the living room with a frown.

“Enzo? Have you seen my underwear?”

Enzo’s POV

What in the actual fuck was going on right now?

This couldn’t have been happening.

Layla stood in front of me with wide eyes, staring at Connie behind me. Connie, who was parading around in just a towel, was searching for the underwear she had misplaced.

They both had terrible timing.

Layla’s body began to tremble as she took a large step away from me.

What was she even doing here? This was the faculty housing. Students weren’t allowed here.

“Enzo? Did you hear…” Connie walked closer to me and once she noticed Layla staring at her, she paused. “Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had company. A student company at that.” Connie raised her brows.

“I was just leaving,” Layla stammered as she turned around. She began to hurry away from the house.

“What were you doing here?” I called after her, shutting the door behind me as I stepped outside.
