I assured her, giving her a kind smile.
“Thank you so much, Lila,”
she said in return. “I look forward to it.”
Cassidy-Ann approached me soon enough with a relieved smile.
“That was the last of it for the evening,”
she breathed. “You don’t have to stick around any longer and besides, your bodyguard is here.”
She glanced over at the door and Enzo was standing there staring at me. He had a strange void in his eyes that knotted my stomach tightly. For some reason, I knew there was something wrong.
I turned to Cassidy-Ann and gave her a smile in return.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Don’t forget we are having dinner tomorrow night. Per usual, Enzo is invited.”
I nodded and thanked her before heading toward Enzo.
“I’m just going to grab my bag and phone from Cassidy-Ann’s office and then we can grab food,”
I said to him; he didn’t say anything in response.
He stared at me for a moment longer before turning away and leaving the studio. I furrowed my brows together; we didn’t have a bad talk this morning, so I was confused as to why he was acting strangely toward me.
I ran into Cassidy-Ann’s office and grabbed my stuff before joining at the main door of the school. Together, we walked through the parking lot until we came across the rental car.
Once we were inside, I finally decided to ask him what was going on.
“Were you ever going to tell me about this scholarship?”
He asked, peering over at me with a questionable look.
“Of course, I was,”
I said quickly; “How did you know about that?”
“Maybe choose a better hiding place next time,”
he said, shaking his head. “When did you find out.”
“This afternoon,”
I explained. “I was going to tell you as soon as I got home earlier but you needed to leave for your important lunch.”
Realization crossed his eyes and then he sighed.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that. It’s great that you got a scholarship. Are you going to take it?”
I was surprised by his question; I could see the curiosity on his face, but there seemed to be something else that I didn’t recognize.
“I’m not sure yet,”
I admitted. “I’m still thinking about it. Do you think I should?”
“I guess that’s up to you,”
he said, turning away and putting his car in drive. “But I wouldn’t be able to go with you.”
I knew that and it pained me to think about it. But I didn’t think it would pain him to think about it as well. Was he finally admitting to me that he had feelings for me just as I had feelings for him?
We stayed quiet for a long while before I decided to ask, “After I graduate, is there a chance you’d mark me?”
He was quiet for a long while, probably processing the question and trying to figure out how to answer me.
“I’m not sure”
he admitted. “There’s a lot of stuff that needs to be done. I’m trying to make it as one of the top Alphas and having a relationship always seemed like a distraction to me…”
I looked down at my hands, feeling a little defeated.
“I understand,”
I said after a short pause.
“But maybe.”
My heart quickened its pace as I looked up at him.
We didn’t talk about this for the rest of the night.

Enzo’s POV
Something didn’t feel right about this scholarship Lila was given.
Staring at the pages earlier, it seemed almost too good to be true. Like they were desperate to have her. I wanted to do a little digging around to see what this school was really about and why they truly wanted her so badly.
I knew her artwork was good, but this was the best art school in the world, and they offered her this scholarship after one measly meeting.
Then again, it could it have been her Volana abilities that helped her get this position.
I brushed the thought out of my mind, at least for the night, and enjoyed having some burgers with her.
But the next morning, when she went to work, I went to the school as well so I could do a little research about what this school was about.
It’s not like I could ask Leroy myself and expect him to answer my questions honestly.
Looking around at the students, I noticed how ordinary they all looked. Which got me curious about the wolf breed around campus. It also got me wondering about the school’s history.
The best place for that information was the library.
I went straight to a computer in the library and went into the database. I would be able to find a record of every student who has ever attended this school.
There were even pictures besides their names, which helped greatly.
By the time I got to the end, I leaned back in my chair and the realization set its horizon on me.
This school has never had one single Volana wolf.
Enzo’s POV
It was making sense now; why Lila was given a scholarship so quickly after showing off her artwork? Why did they want her so eagerly to attend this school?
I shook my head at the very thought as it all processed in my mind.
“They want her because she’s a Volana wolf,”
Max murmured from within me feeling equally annoyed.
I knew he was right; they would never look at her before if she wasn’t a Volana. The fury rising through me was too great to ignore. I knew something had to be done about this before Lila truly got hurt.
I didn’t waste any more time upon finding out this information. I closed all the tabs on the computer and left the library.
Lila still had a few hours left of work, so I had time to pay Leroy a visit.
His office was at the top floor of the school and his receptionist sat right outside his office door. She glanced up at me and seemed surprised when she noticed my Alpha aura radiating.
“Hello, Alpha,”
she said quickly, peering up at me. “What can I do for you?”
“I’m here to see Professor Leroy,”
I said, glancing over at his office door.
“Oh, I’m sorry. He’s very busy right and—”
“I wasn’t asking,”
I said through a clenched jaw.
I saw her mouth drop open as she leaned back in her seat, trying to gain distance before she nodded.
“Yes, Alpha,”
