Rachel was the first to ask.
“Her name is Deanna, she’s the chef in Enzo’s packhouse. She’s like the pack mother of a sort,”
I explained. “She’s very sweet and she’s done bake sales that I’ve helped her with in the past. She’s good at what she does, and she would help me if I asked her.”
They both looked at one another questionably.
“I had no idea you out so much at Enzo’s packhouse that you know the staff,”
Rachel said, raising her brows. “You never mentioned it before.”
“I go there occasionally to teach the children of his pack to fight,”
I said with a casual shrug. “It’s really no big deal. Not worth mentioning.”
“See?! She’s so great. She deserves to win,”
Becca said, throwing her hands in the air.
Rachel and I laughed at her dramatics.
“You are right about that,”
Rachel agreed. She then turned to me and narrowed her eyes. “Are you able to go there today and ask for her help?”
“Yes, I’ll go this afternoon and seek her help.”
“Maybe you can find out why Professor… or Alpha Enzo quit while you’re there. I still can’t believe he quit.”
“Wait, Professor Enzo quit??”
Rachel gaped. “When did that happen?”
“I’m not sure”
I lied. “We found out about it recently.”
“That sucks; he was your favorite teacher,”
Rachel said with a timid frown. “Are you okay?”
“I’m going to have to be,”
I shrugged. “Besides, we met the new teacher. He seems… interesting.”
“That’s an understatement,”
Becca said with an eye roll. “Dude looks terrifying. He’s going to give you a run for our money.”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine,”
I said, staring between the two of them. “Let’s not worry about anything until we have to.”
“You’ll have to give us the details of what happened,”
Rachel said with a frown. “I’m curious as to why he left.”
“Alpha Enzo is very busy being an Alpha and running his pack. I probably won’t even see him.”
“But if you do, you got to ask him why he left,”
Becca repeated.
I knew they weren’t going to stop until I gave them something that pleased their curious minds.
I was going to have to come up with something.
…
I stood outside of Enzo’s packhouse with a sense of doubt. Maybe this was a bad idea after all.
I mean, if he wanted to talk to me, he would, right?
I technically wasn’t here for Enzo; I was here for Dee. But I still really needed to get answers from Enzo.
I was feeling so conflicted.
Maybe I shouldn’t be here. I wasn’t ready to have this conversation with Enzo.
There was a chance that I wouldn’t see him if I stayed in the kitchen with Dee. It was past noon, which meant Enzo was probably tied up with something Alpha-related. But I knew once he sensed me, he’d probably come looking for me.
Maybe.
I took a deep breath and lifted my hand to knock on the wooden doors.
My heart raced rapidly in my chest; it was too late to back down now. It was only a matter of seconds before the door opened.
I just had to hope that it wasn’t Enzo who opened the door.
I saw the knob of the door turning and I took a step back. Maybe if I shifted into my wolf form and sprinted for the forest, I could get away before anybody—
“Lila?”
A familiar voice cut through my inner dialogue. “What are you doing here?”
Lila’s POV
Ethan furrowed his brows at me as I turned to face him. I felt warmth all around my body, so I’m sure that was evident on my face.
He was staring at me with such concern that my entire stomach decided to turn into one giant knot, making me feel sick. I wasn’t even sure what to say or how long I was staring at him dumbfounded.
“Are you okay?”
He decided to ask, cocking his head to the side. “Are you here to see Enzo?”
“No,”
I said a little too quickly, my voice cracking slightly. “I’m actually here to see Dee.”
“Dee?”
Ethan asked, raising his brows. “Why is that?”
“I’m having a bake sale to help for my campaign,”
I explained.
“What are you campaigning?”
“President of the student committee,”
I answered. “I’m up against a girl who doesn’t exactly like me and is making it her mission to make me miserable. She would destroy the school if she were to win. I know a bake sale won’t help me win, but I figured I could raise some money for the future of the committee.”
“I could always help you if you are serious about this election. I know some people who can set up a whole production for you. Maybe even get you on TV.”
“That’s really sweet of you, Ethan. But I can handle the election.”
“Suit yourself,”
Ethan said with a shrug. “So, if you’re here to see Dee, then why are standing outside? You know you can just come in, right?”
I didn’t want to intrude,”
I said with a nervous laugh. “Enzo hasn’t been responding to my texts. so, I assumed he didn’t want to see me.”
Ethan frowned.
“I don’t think that’s the problem,”
he said in return.
I raised my gaze and met his eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, I’ve known him for a long time, and the first time I ever saw him smile was because of you. You brought out a lot in him; you brought out a part I didn’t even know existed. Believe it or not, he loves you.”
My face warmed and I lowered my gaze.
