“Come on,”
Ethan said, motioning for me to enter the packhouse. “Enzo isn’t even here right now.”
“Why isn’t he here?”
I asked; I couldn’t hide the disappointment in my tone.
“He just ran some errands in the city. He should be gone for a while.”
“I see,”
I breathed. “That’s a relief,”
I lied.”
He gave me another concerned smile and motioned for me to enter the house again.
This time, I did.
“Thanks,”
I said to him, giving him a sweet smile.
“If you need anything, let me know. I’m going to be practicing on the fighting grounds. Dee should be in the kitchen.”
“Okay,”
I said, waving to him as he went toward the back doors.
I went into the kitchen and saw that Dee was in the middle of cooking dinner. Whatever she was making smelled absolutely delicious and made my mouth water. I forgot I hadn’t eaten anything all day and I was starving.
“Lila?”
Dee said with wide eyes once she noticed me. “What are you doing here? It’s been so long!”
She cooed as she ran toward me and wrapped her arms around me. Once she pulled away, she was wearing a frown. “I’m afraid Enzo isn’t here right now. He should be back later though.”
“I’m actually not here for Enzo,”
I told her. “I’m here for you. I need your help.”
“Of course, what can I do for you?”
Dee asked, peering at me eagerly.
“I’m running for president of the student committee, and I’d like to have a bake sale for the students.”
“Wait, didn’t you create the committee last year? And you still have to have an election?”
Dee asked, raising her brows. “That doesn’t seem fair.”
“It’s definitely not. But this girl seems to always get what she wants,”
I murmured, trying not to sound like a Debbie downer, but sometimes I couldn’t help it.
I was admittedly annoyed about this election. I did create the committee after all. I shouldn’t have to try this hard to be in charge of it.
But there I am.
“This girl has money,”
I continued. “Her father is the richest Alpha in the world and can buy whatever she wants. Including followers. So, I need a really good campaign. I have some friends who are helping me. The bake sale isn’t really for the campaign, but regardless of who wins, the committee will need some funding and I figured we should start now.”
“Even if this other girl wins?”
“I’m doing this for the students. They deserve something nice like a back-to-school party,”
I explained.
“I love how selfless you are,”
Dee said fondly. “They’d be stupid to not vote for you. I’d love to help with the bake sale. When is this happening?”
“There’s no set date. But I’d like it to be sometime next week.”
“How about Friday? We can spend Wednesday and Thursday evening baking once you get out of school,”
Dee suggested.
I nodded.
“That sounds great. I’ll text my friends and let them know”
I said, p; pulling out my phone and sending a memo to the group chat I have with Becca and Rachel.
“While I finish with dinner, how about you make a list of all the baked goods you want to make for this sale.”
She handed me a notebook and a pen before going back to the stove.
“Also, there’s going to be plenty of food, you can join us for dinner.”
I was about to decline her offer, but then I sensed Val perking up and Enzo’s scent became incredibly strong. I knew what that meant, and my heart was weighing heavily in my chest.
Enzo was home.
Soon, he was walking into the kitchen, and he completely froze when he saw me.
I knew he could probably sense me from the outside but seeing me was still a shock to him. His face was unreadable, and I couldn’t tell if he was angry or not. He certainly wasn’t pleased; I knew that much.
I stared at him back; our eyes locked onto one another.
It almost felt like we were the only two people in the room; Dee was non-existent to us.
My heart thudded violently against my chest, and I swallowed down the lump that had formed in my throat.
“Lila…?”
His voice sounded distant, yet so close at the same time.
“Hi…”
I said slowly. “Let me explain why I’m here before you get angr—”
Before I could finish that sentence, he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him, his lips covering mine and he kissed me with such a heated passion that my soul was set on fire.
At that moment I knew…Undoubtedly, with every ounce of my heart, I was in love with him.
Enzo’s POV
Earlier.
“Enzo? I wasn’t expecting you. What are you doing here?”
My mother asked as we stood just outside her small cottage in the rogue village.
My mother and the others in her clan fixed this small town up nicely from when they discovered it years ago. It was the only area in the rogue territory that wasn’t infested with the kind of rogues that hunt for sport.
Thankfully, my mother had a witch on her side, and they were able to put a shield on this town to keep them hidden from those uninvited.
Because I once lived here, I was always invited.
I rarely came here because it could be dangerous for them to have frequent visitors. Someone could follow me and discover that there is a shield in this area. They could find a way to break the shield and attack my mother’s clan.
The clan rarely left this rogue town because as soon as they did, they were in danger of being found. Although they had given up their Volana powers to better hide themselves, and they no longer looked like Volana wolves, they still had the mild Volana scent. So, if close enough, it could be smelled.
That alone puts them in danger.
When I became in power and began training with the Calypso pack gamma warriors, I appointed a couple I trusted with my life to protect my mother and her clan. They made themselves comfortable in this territory and they gathered supplies and essential things for survival.
They are also ready for any kind of attack.
I haven’t seen my mother since she was attacked after straying too far from the village. I knew she would be surprised to see me now, but she was the only one who could help me with the very real dilemma I was facing.
My feelings.
“Is everything okay?”
She asked with a worried frown. She searched my face with her warm brown eyes, and I knew that she could feel my distress.
