Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
“I’d have to move to Monstro, Mom…”
I told her, lowering my tone. “Isn’t that a little far?”
“Well, I mean yes… but—”
she paused again and this time she was quiet for a longer while. “Oh, I see,”
she finally breathed. “Your wolf is a huge part of who you are. Sometimes you have to listen to both your heart and your wolf to figure out what you truly want.”
It was like she already knew what I was thinking; hearing her say it put my heart at ease, but only slightly.
“This has always been a dream of mine…”
I told her. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t accomplish this dream closer to home. But this school could make me so much better.”
“In my eyes, Lila, you are already terrific. There’s no decision that you can make that I won’t support. I’ll always be behind you. As will your father.”
It warmed my heart to hear her say that.
I glanced at the clock and stood up.
“I have to go, Mom. But thank you for talking to me; I love you.”
“Anytime, sweetheart. I love you too.”
I hung up the phone and quickly dressed in an evening casual dress and threw my hair into a low ponytail before leaving the resort to go to the art show.

Enzo’s POV
“Gotta say, Enzo. We were surprised when you agreed to come out with us,”
Alpha Alex said, staring across the table at me. “We know how much you dislike social events.”
“We are glad you came,”
Alpha Louis said with a kind smile from beside me.
“How are things in the Calypso pack? We hear you’re a professor now,”
Alpha Mike said, raising his brows.
“The rumors are true on that,”
I confirmed. “I’ve been teaching shifting and combat at the school for shifters. It’s mainly to get my stats as Alpha up but when Alpha Bastien asked me for this favor, I didn’t want to deny.”
“I’ve heard of that school; it’s in Higala right?”
Alpha Mike asked. “I’ve heard it’s a good school.”
“Definitely not as good as the academy here, but it ranks highly in the world. I admittedly enjoy teaching there.”
“Never thought someone like you would be a teacher,”
Alpha Alex laughed. “I didn’t think you’d like students.”
“I supposed I’m full of surprises,”
I shrugged, and they laughed at my response.
“In other news, Louis has been saying he spotted you with a pretty little dime recently. Do tell,”
Alex said, leaning across the table almost eagerly.
I narrowed my eyes to Louis; I had no idea he had seen me with someone. Was he talking about Lila? Or maybe Connie?
“Oh yes, she was gorgeous!”
Louis went on to say as he described the woman I was with; I knew, at that moment, he was talking about Lila.
“A violet and a blue eye?”
Mike asked, his eyes widening. “I’ve only seen someone like that once in my life…”
Mile continued to breathe, getting all our attention. “She was a Volana.”
Enzo’s POV
“You’re dating a Volana wolf?”
Alex asked with also wide eyes; all three Alphas were now staring at him, shocked about this new discovery.
“What’s that like?!”
Mike asked excitedly.
“You guys should have seen her!”
John said in return, clapping me on the back.
I felt Max growing restless and agitated as they continued to talk about Lila like she was nothing more than a slab of meat.
A low growl emerged from the depth of my throat, and I had to swallow hard before it escaped through my wolf’s canines.
“It’s impolite to speak of a woman in such a manner,”
I said, clenching my jaw.
They glanced at me, all frowning now before John cleared his throat.
“How’s the new hospital coming in Starcove?”
John asked Mike who finally pulled his eyes away from me to fixate on John.
“It should be up and running within a couple of weeks. The bank finally closed the deal and we are currently in the process of finding staff.”
“I might have a couple of she-wolves that are medically trained. I’ll send them your way for an interview,”
Mike offered.
“I have a few men and women who are trained in that specialty,”
Alex also offered.
“I appreciate you both. Send them to my office at 1 pm on Monday and I’ll speak with them myself. I have a few highly trained doctors and some nurses myself. I also have a few surgeons. But I’m looking for a few more. It’s nice to get some from outside the pack so we can broaden our resources.”
“Agreed,”
Mike nodded.
“Ever need extra resources I can always ship them from overseas,”
I chimed in, feeling my wolf relaxing. Now that the subject was off Lila, we didn’t need to be tense. “I have the most intellectual researchers in the county and could greatly benefit all three of you.”
They raised their brows.
“I had no idea that the Calypso pack had researchers like that,”
Mike said, speaking for all of them.
“They’re actually elders that once worked for my father but after my father’s death they stuck around,”
I explained.
They all looked amongst one another; questionable and concerned looks on their faces. Of course, they had heard about my father. They would have to live under a rock to not know about Blaise. Even those from across the country were very familiar with his tales.
It wasn’t often that I brought him up in conversation and I’m sure none of them really knew what to say in response.
“And you trust them?”
John finally asked the question that was on all their minds.
“There’s still a lot of the pack who had gone rogue when I took over leadership because they still follow my father long after his death. They usually live in hiding but there are quite a few of them and they frequent appearance. Annoyingly so…”
I muttered that last part. “But they continue to hunt and torment Volana wolves. Most of them want to take their powers and use them for themselves. It makes our region one of the most dangerous places for Volana wolves. Not that they are particularly safe anywhere… but those who follow my father are specifically trained in combat and are highly skilled, just as I am.”
They all listened with wide eyes as they ate their food and drank their drinks.
