Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
“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.”
Lila’s POV
“But first, tell me why you think he hates Volana wolves,”
Diana said, staring at me with sadness in her eyes.
I didn’t like talking about this, but at the same time, it’s a lot of stuff that I’ve been holding in. What better person to tell other than my mate’s mother? She had such a comforting and yet familiar aura to her. She made me feel safe, and I knew I could talk to her about anything.
She was very kind, and I suddenly grew upset that I didn’t know her sooner. Enzo has been hiding her basically and the thought hurt my heart.
Did he not trust me enough to be around his mother? They obviously have a great relationship. Why didn’t he want me near her until now?
