I said in return.
We piled out of the car and Beta Aiden was quick to greet us.
“Hello, Miss Lila. How was the trip?”
“Uncle Aiden!”
I cooed, throwing my arms around him. “It feels like I’ve been away for years.”
“Don’t I know it? I know you aren’t around here often because of school, but it didn’t feel right knowing you weren’t in our region.”
I chuckled.
He grabbed my bags and began walking towards the packhouse. Enzo grabbed his own bags; his car was parked nearby so he just went ahead and brought his things to his car.
“You’re staying, right?”
I asked, walking closely behind him. “For the party I mean?”
“I should get back to my pack,”
Enzo said, staring around my sunken face. “Beta Ethan has been mindlinking me nonstop for the last few days. I guess they ran into some trouble.”
“Oh…”
I said, staring at the ground. “That’s too bad. I was hoping we could spend a little more time together…”
I knew it was hopeful thinking, but I still hoped.
“Lila—”
He went on to say, but the voice of my father interrupted him.
“Enzo, I hope you aren’t leaving just yet. We still have to talk in my study,”
he said, eyeing him carefully.
Enzo nodded, glancing at me briefly.
“We’ll talk more later,”
he assured me.
He finished putting his things in his car before we went to speak to my father privately.
I furrowed my brows together, curious about what they were going off to talk about and why they couldn’t do it in front of me.
Part of me wanted to follow behind them and try to listen to their conversation, but I saw Brianna waving me over from the front door with a wide smile on her face.
I sighed and followed her inside.
She stood next to a tall and broad man with orange hair and huge muscles. He had kind blue eyes with long lashes and freckles around his nose and cheeks. He wore the uniform of a gamma warrior, equipped with weapons, which wasn’t unusual for a gamma warrior. He matched my Uncle Don when it came to his uniform, except Donovan had a red symbol on his chest indicating that he was the leader.
Bri grabbed this gentlemen’s arm and pulled him closer to her, that smile never leaving her lips.
“You must be Alexander,”
I said, reaching my hand out to shake.
He shook it without hesitation and bowed his head at me.
“It’s great to finally meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. From both Donovan and Brianna,”
Alexander said in return, keeping his head bowed. “You are kind of a legend actually.”
I laughed.
“A legend you say?”
I rose my brows.
“You are a badass fighter and a Volana wolf. You fear nothing and you’ve faced so many challenges your entire life. Yes, a legend.”
“That’s very kind of you,”
I said, glancing at Brianna who bit her bottom lip to stifle a giggle.
She seriously was smitten with him, and I was so glad for her; yet I was also a bit envious.
Which reminded me that Enzo was off having a secret conversation with my father.
“Can we talk more later? There’s someone I need to speak with,”
I told them both, stepping around them.
Brianna frowned like she was about to protest, but she kept her mouth shut and watched as I went towards my father’s office.
My father’s office door was at the end of the long hallway, and it was closed tightly with only a faint light under the door indicating that someone was in there. The closer I got to the door, the more I was picking up Enzo’s scent, so I knew he was there with my father.
I paused outside the door, just as I began to hear their voices.
“Have you thought more about our conversation from last month? The semester officially starts next week,”
My father said to him.
“Yes,”
Enzo said in return. “It’s all I could think about.”
“And? Have you made up your mind?”
“I made it up a while ago, Alpha,”
Enzo said to my father. “I’m sorry but my decision hasn’t changed at all. I can’t remain at this school any longer. I won’t be returning as a professor.
Lila’s POV
“What did he just say?”
Val croaked as we stepped away from the door.
It felt like my entire world had just crumbled down around me.
Enzo was quitting.
Was it because of me?
Did I push him away?
“I wish there was something I could say that would change your mind,”
my father had said to him, sounding defeated. “But I understand. You need to do what’s best for you and your pack and you say being a professor is too distracting to your daily work. I get it.”
“I knew you would, and I really appreciate it. I also appreciate the opportunity you’ve given me. I’m glad I was able to be the professor for shifting and combat for the short while I was. It means a lot that you trusted me enough with this task and trusted me to take care of your daughter.”
“She’s grown fond of you…”
my father said I felt a jab of pain in my heart.
If only he knew the truth. If only he knew that Enzo was my mate, and it was more than just the fondness I was feeling.
Enzo was quiet or maybe he was saying something I couldn’t hear.
Could he sense me outside this door? Did he know I was listening?
“She’s going to be upset when she finds out…”
“I’ll tell her,”
Enzo assured him. “But not today. I want her to enjoy the party and get settled in.”
“The sooner you tell her, the better.”
How long had Enzo been planning on leaving the school? Was it before our trip to Monstro? The thought of him knowing about this from the very beginning was infuriating.
So many chances he had to tell me, and he chose not to.
I realized soon that their talking had stopped. Then I heard footsteps coming towards the door and I froze. They were about to see me standing before them.
