I said, a glimmer of a smile on my lips.
Enzo nodded in agreement.
“This will be the best date,”
I breathed, smiling at the notes I have just taken. “Connie will be so excited.”
“I hate to admit it, but she might be,”
Enzo said with a head nod. “These are all the things she likes. So, there’s a good chance she will enjoy this after all.”
I made some calls and got reservations together. Enzo also made some calls when I wasn’t persuasive enough to get things together within a day. But soon, we were able to get everything together we needed for this perfect date.
It was the day of the date and now all we needed were the two wolves it was. I just hoped that Connie would be okay with all these changes and planning.
I had Tyler’s phone number from when we gave it to me before and when I called him, he was genuinely surprised by my announcement.
“You did what?”
He gasped; I could practically hear his heartbeat from the other side of the phone. “What do you mean ‘plan a date’? For whom??”
“For you and Connie,”
I said in return, folding my arms across my chest. “We discussed this already. You knew I was doing this.”
“I thought you’d forget about it,”
he said with a sigh. “She doesn’t want to date me. We can’t force her; she’s just going to reject me.”
“She will change her mind once she sees what we have planned,”
I assured him.
“It’s a bad idea,”
he said. “I thought maybe it could be a good idea, but it’s definitely bad.”
I was starting to lose him; I needed to do something to bring him back to agree with this.
Enzo was watching me from across the room, a curious gaze in his eyes. He knew this conversation wasn’t going well and I also knew he was going to tell me, “I told you so.”
That wasn’t something I wanted to hear from him.
We spent hours planning this date; we made a million calls and had to use various connections to get certain reservations. We also spent a lot of money on this non-refundable money.
There was no way this date wasn’t happening.
“She already agreed to it,”
I said quickly.
Tyler went quiet, just as Enzo’s eyes widened in shock.
“She what?”
Tyler asked for a pause. “Did you say she already agreed to it?”
“Yes, we brought it up to her before calling you,”
I lied again, and I felt guilty for lying but I wasn’t sure what else to do at that moment. “She was completely fine with this idea.”
Enzo looked like he was about to grab the phone out of my hands, so I turned away from him.
“It starts tonight. I’ll send you a text with the details, but we made a reservation at the fanciest restaurant in Monstro. It’s right on the waterfront so you’ll have a nice view while you eat. She’s going to love it.”
He was quiet for a moment longer as if he was trying to figure out if I was telling the truth or not. I decided not to say anything else just in case I gave away the lie.
“Okay,”
he finally said after a long silence, making me breathe out in relief. “I’ll be there tonight.”
“Perfect,”
I said in return. “I’ll have Enzo swing by your place later to help you dress.”
“What?”
I heard Enzo say from behind me just as I hung up the phone and swung around to face him. “Are you out of your mind? You just lied to him.”
“She’s going to agree to the date,”
I said with a shrug. “She has to. Everything is already set in motion. I merely predicted the future.”
“It must be nice living in that fantasy world you created,”
Enzo muttered.
I frowned; taking a little offense to that but I was sick of arguing, so I decided to say nothing more about it.
Before they could say anything more, Connie came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped in a towel.
“That shower felt nice,”
she breathed. “I’m starving. Can we grab some food?”
“Yes,”
I said a little too quickly. “But not with us.”
She rose her brows.
“What?”
“We made reservations for you tonight at the fanciest restaurant in Monstro. So, you’ll have a nice meal tonight without us.”
She frowned, staring between the two of us.
“What exactly did you do?”
I looked at Enzo who remained silent; I sighed and looked back at Connie.
“We made a date for you and Tyler,”
I finally told her.
I saw the color draining from her face and then her eyes went voided. It was a look I had never seen from her before, and I’d seen her during her mad moments and happy moments. She was quiet for a long while as I felt her increasing emotions; I just couldn’t tell what kind of emotions they were.
Her face was hard to read.
Not knowing what was going to happen caused me to take a step back.
Then she finally spoke between her teeth, “You did WHAT?!”
She was livid.
Lila’s POV
Her eyes were golden and glowing as I had never seen them before. It was her wolf.
For the first time since knowing Connie, I was actually frightened of her.
So much so, I took a step back.
The fury that circulated around her was evident and I knew she was about to explode at any moment. She was angry and she wasn’t going to back down until we faced her wrath. The paleness of her face went away and now it was just pure red. Her eyes glowed even brighter, and her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles grew white.
I thought her nails were going to dig into the palms of her hands as she glared between Enzo and me.
“You did what?”
She seethed through her teeth.
She was fighting back the impulse of her wolf. Her wolf should be happy that we made a date for her and her mate. But I couldn’t help but wonder if I had made a terrible mistake.
“I just wanted you to have a chance with your mate,”
I told her, keeping my tone low for her ears only. “I don’t want you to have any regrets.”
“You didn’t do it for me, you rotten bitch. You did it for yourself because you wanted me to leave Enzo alone. This was for selfish reasons, and you can’t convince me otherwise,”
