Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
“I got here yesterday morning. This is my first time at this school,”
I answered.
“Oh, my goddess, you’ll have to let me show you around sometime. This school is huge and so beautiful. I’m here on a scholarship and this is my second year.”
“Yeah, that would be great. Thank you,”
I said in return.
Soon, it was her turn to meet Cassidy-Ann.
“I’m a huge fan!”
I heard her say as she approached; I couldn’t help but laugh.
She was a sweet girl, and her bubbly personality certainly did not match her bold and edgy looks.
Val’s mood seemed to have lifted as a familiar scent filled out our noses.
Enzo walked into the room and my heart skipped a beat instantly.
Great. My distraction was here.
I felt my face warming under the intensity of his stares.
He was soon inches from me.
“I promised your father I’d keep an eye on you all the time,”
he told me in a low tone, causing my body to grow even warmer.
“I can’t have you here as a distraction. Cassidy-Ann is already on me about being late,”
I told him, peering up at him with pleading eyes.
“You won’t even know I’m here,”
he said, stepping away.
Somehow, I doubted that very much.
“Holy hell; who is that hottie?”
Em asked from behind me, peering over my shoulder at Enzo who was now on the other side of the room.
I didn’t even realize Em was close by until she spoke.
“My professor,”
I answered. “And bodyguard. He’s an Alpha and my father’s right-hand man. He’s under my father’s orders to protect me.”
She rose her brows.
“Protect you from what?”
She had no idea I was a Volana. It’s not like I hid it; I had the Volana eyes and the aura. But they were so rare in our world that not everybody knew what to look for in a Volana.
“It’s a long story,”
I told her, not wanting to get into it.
“Well, I need to go to class. But we should meet up later. You can meet my friends. There’s going to be an outdoor concert at our school tonight. Some of the greatest local bands will be playing. You should come!”
“Really?”
I asked. “You want me to come?”
“Of course!”
She said excitedly. “And you can bring that hottie too,”
she added with a wink.
She pulled a small card out of her tight pants and handed it to me.
“Here’s my number. Call me later and I’ll tell you where to meet us.”
“Us?”
“My friends and me,”
she laughed. “I’ll see you later.”
Once the room started clearing out and it was time for cleaning up, I figured now was a good time to ask Enzo if he wanted to join me for the outdoor concert tonight.
He was helping to put all the tables and chairs back in their rightful locations when I approached him.
“So, I met a friend,”
I told him, helping him with some of the chairs.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,”
I said, feeling lame. “She invited me to an outdoor concert tonight. She told me that you can come too if—”
“You told her about us?”
He asked, snapping me a look.
I felt the blood rushing to my face, and I quickly shook my head.
“No. I just—”
“It’s probably better if you didn’t tell anyone about us. I wouldn’t want it to get back to anyone back home,”
he said, cutting me off.
My heart fell into my stomach.
“Oh… I just thought that—”
“I have things I need to do tonight. So, you can just go by yourself. I trust that you’ll be fine.”
“I see…”
I said, lowering my gaze.
It was clear to me that I misread things.
I turned away from him before my eyes decided to betray me and sorrow seeped in.
Lila’s POV
“I’m leaving now,”
I said to Enzo as I stood at the entrance of his bedroom door.
He was seated at the desk, typing something into his laptop, and without looking up at me, he said, “Be safe.”
My heart was heavy as I left the suite.
We haven’t really talked since this morning. It felt like everything I wanted to say to him was on the tip of my tongue, but it wouldn’t come out. I wanted to ask him what this relationship between us was.
One minute he was sweet to me, and we were having this incredible sex, and the next thing he was being cold and distant. Not wanting to talk to me or talk about what we were becoming.
Val was so certain that he truly loved us and wanted to be with us as our mates. But I wasn’t so sure about that now.
I know that if word got back to those in Higala and Elysium that it could be incredibly bad. He could lose his job and I could be expelled from the school. It would ruin his reputation for pursuing a student and he wouldn’t make a top-ranked Alpha.
But we weren’t at home; we were on the other side of the world where nobody knew us.
I thought we could at least pretend to be a couple for the time that we are here. But knowing he wants to keep it even more secret, meaning not leaving the bedroom, makes me think that maybe this was about sex.
My heart ached at the very thought of my mate only using me for sex.
I was a virgin up until yesterday.
