“I’d prefer it if he drove you,” my father said, narrowing his eyes at me. “I don’t want you wandering around by yourself right now. Those rogues are still out there, and I’m worried they will come and find you.”

“You think they’d be stupid enough to do that?” I asked, raising my own brows.

“I can’t be too safe,” my father said, kissing the top of my head gently. “I’m also having some gammas patrolling your school. Just in case.”

“But dad—”

“I don’t want any arguments. My decision is final.”

I sighed and said nothing more; I only nodded in agreement.

“Okay,” I finally said after a long pause. “Where’s Professor Enzo?”

“He had to take care of some stuff. But don’t worry; he’ll be back in time to take you back to school,” my father answered. “Get a little bit more rest until then.”

He began walking toward the entrance of the hospital room.

Third Person POV

“What do you mean she got out?!” Sarah hissed into the phone; she was clutching her phone so tightly that her knuckles had grown white. “She was never supposed to escape.”

“Alpha Bastien and Alpha Enzo got her out.”

That was news to Sarah; she rose her brows and then furrowed them together.

“Alpha Enzo?” she asked. “Like my professor?”

“That’s the one.”

“Why would he got out of his way to help that lowly good-for-nothing wolf?” Sarah asked, thinking intently about this.

“I’m not sure… maybe she’s his mate?”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Sarah scoffed. “I don’t know … something is weird with them regardless and I’m going to find out what it is.”

“I’m telling you… she’s strong.”

“No,” Sarah growled. “I’m much stronger.”

“Just be careful…I wouldn’t want you getting hurt.”

“Don’t underestimate me, Uncle Cyrus.”

Enzo’s POV

Brody was healing nicely; he no longer had bruises or cuts on his face, and he was fully awake. His wolf was working overtime to heal him.

He was surprised when I walked into the hospital room to see him. It was early the next morning and Layla was still very much asleep.

I didn’t get much sleep after she fell back to sleep but I was able to close my eyes for a little bit. The sound of her breathing and the light snoring that came from her nose were comforting me and my wolf. I felt my entire body relaxing and I couldn’t help that stupid smile on my face.

Was this what it’s like to have a mate?

I shook the thought out of my head and stood to my feet.

She looked incredibly peaceful and comfortable in the hospital bed.

My heart ached for her because I couldn’t be there to protect her fully. I could only imagine the torture she’s been through. I hated that I wasn’t there with her.

It was Brody that was there with her.

I turned away from her and left the room. The hospital was quiet this early in the morning. Only the sound of some nurses on the computers could be heard for miles down the hallway.

I already knew which room Brody was in because I saw them bring him there, but I have yet to check on him.

I was surprised to see that he was awake when I walked in.

He was eating breakfast and sipping on coffee while watching some early morning television on the large TV that hung on the upper wall.

He rose his brows as I entered the room.

“Professor Enzo…” Brody said once I shut the door and faced him. “What are you doing here?”

“I always check on my students that are injured in the hospital,” I told him, keeping my eyes locked on his.

I wasn’t the jealous type, and I certainly wasn’t threatened by this jock… but I couldn’t help but feel a little irritated that he was the one that was with Layla when all of this happened and she still ended up incredibly injured.

“I haven’t been your student since last year,” Brody said, narrowing his eyes at me. “You are here to check on Layla.”

“That too,” I agreed; I kept my voice even so he couldn’t hear through my emotions. “I made a promise to her father that I would protect her. I went with him to get you both out of that chapel.”

“You were the one who saved us?” Brody asked, raising his brows.

“You didn’t know?”

“No…” he breathed, shaking his head. “They didn’t really tell me anything. I just know that Alpha Bastien was there, and he got me out of the cell. I assumed he went back in for Layla as well. I thought it was weird that he saved me first…”

“It was a team effort,” I explained. “I got Layla out and Bastien got you out.”

“I see…” Brody said, shaking his head at the thought. “It was insane in there. I don’t remember much because I was beaten so badly. But I remember her screaming… I can’t get it out of my head.”

He glanced down at his hands while I winced at the very thought. I couldn’t imagine what Layla must have been going through. What she must have been feeling. My heart hurt at the very thought.

I wanted to hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay.

But I couldn’t.

This was the exact reason why I couldn’t.

Men like those were always going to be after her; she was always going to have a target on her back. If I continued to hang around her, they would know her importance to me, and that target will only get bigger.

I couldn’t do that to her.

“Professor Enzo?”

I realized Brody has been talking to me. I straightened my stance and looked over at him.

“Is Layla okay? How’s she doing?”

“She will be returning to campus this evening,” I told him. “Hopefully you’ll be there right behind her.”

He rose his brows in confusion.

“She recovered that quickly?”

“She wasn’t as badly injured as you were,” I explained. “She’s completely healed. She’s just confused and tired. But for the most part, she’s going to be fine. They are discharging her this afternoon and then I’m going to take her back to school on her father’s orders.”

“I see…” Brody said. “I was hoping to see her before she leaves. But I guess I’ll just see her back at school.”

I stared around Brody’s face for a moment longer; he was nothing more than a jock. He was strong and not bad looking, I’ll give him that. But he wasn’t a match when it came to me.

I don’t know why I was comparing myself to him.

I turned away and back toward the door.

“Just get some more rest. I’m glad to see that you are well,” I said as I walked toward the doorway.

“Thanks for checking on me,” he said from behind me.

I said nothing more as I left the room.

I thought about returning to Layla’s room, but there was some stuff I needed to take care of back at home, so I went toward the main entrance of the hospital instead.

That’s when I saw Bastien walking through the doors.

“Are you leaving?” Bastien asked, raising his brows.

“I have some stuff to take care of back at my pack. But I’ll be back later to take Layla to the school,” I assured him.

“I’ll see you later then,” Bastien said, patting me on the back. “And thank you again for all your help, Enzo. I worry about what would happen if you weren’t there.”

“Let’s not think about the worst outcome,” I said in return as I continued toward the main door.
