I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Enzo’s POV
12 year earlier
“Enzo…?” My mother woke me up during the night, tears filling her big brown eyes, and dripping
delicately off her long and dark lashes.
I groggily woke, to find her standing over me.
“Mom?” I asked, peering at her through the dark of the night. It was cold; we didn’t have much heat in
our small home. We didn’t have much money to afford heat, but my mother never made it seem like we
were poor. “What’s wrong?” I whispered to her, not wanting to wake the others that resided in the
house.
“Your father is dead…” she said softly, her voice quivering.
She was frightened. But of what?
“He’s gone, sweetheart,” she said again.
From what I had heard of my father, he wasn’t a good man. He left my mother pregnant, rejecting her,
and forcing her to live in another pack. She would often refer to him as a monster.
“You are the only living relative left…” She continued. “His Beta is coming to collect you. You must go
with him…”
“What?” I asked, sitting up quickly in bed; she shushed me, wrapping her arms around me. “I know this
is sudden. But you must be the Alpha of Calypso. I never wanted this for you so soon, my baby.”
I had no idea what it meant to run a pack and be an Alpha. I was at a loss for words, and I had to admit,
I was terrified. It was only yesterday that I was running around with my friends and being a kid. Now this
time tomorrow, I would be in a whole different pack and acting as a leader.
None of this was making sense to me.
“You’ll be coming with me, won’t you?” I asked, my words trembling.
She cried harder and shook her head, holding me tighter.

“I’m afraid I can’t,” she told me hoarsely. “My place is here. And yours is there. You are going to be an

incredible Alpha, Enzo. Way better than your father ever was. You are going to do amazing things with
your life…”
“I can’t just leave you,” I whispered, tears filling my own eyes. I didn’t often cry, even at a young age. But
the thought of leaving my mother behind in this hell hole tied my stomach into a large knot.
“I need you to listen to me,” she whispered, taking my face into her hands. “Your father had done a lot
of wrong in his life. He hurt a lot of people. You’ll probably hear a lot about him once you get to
Calypso. He’s the reason wolves like us live like this… because he wanted so much that he took
everything from everyone. But you, my darling Enzo, can restore things and make things better for all of
us…”
“But how? I’m only 9…” I said, I couldn’t keep the worry out of my tone. “What can I do to help? Why
can’t you come with me?”
“Your father has made it too dangerous. There are those who still wish to do us harm. His followers are
now scrambled, still lurking in the shadows. But you can make things better. You can bring them to
light. You can work hard and become more powerful than your father ever was. You can protect those
who live like us… You can use your powers for good.”
“I promise,” I whispered, hugging my mother tightly. “I won’t let you down. When I get to the top, and I
will get to the top, I will come back for you. I will punish those who did us wrong and I won’t stop until
this kingdom is safe again. I will undo what father did.”

“Alpha Enzo? Did you hear me?” The voice of Bastien interrupted my train of thought. I glanced around
at the conference table that the other Alphas on the committee were gathered around.
They were discussing the Shifting and Combat course at the Higala Shifting Academy and how the
original professor had died during a rogue attack. Bastien, the head of the committee, was about to
appoint a new professor.
I already knew he was going to appoint me; he would have been stupid not to. I was one of the
strongest and best Alphas for the job. Besides Bastien, I was the toughest and fiercest Alpha to walk our
lands. But I still had a long way to go before I outranked my estranged father who died when I was 9.
“You need me to take over as the professor,” I said, leaning back in my seat. It wasn’t a question, nor
was it an offer.
Bastien looked at the others who had fallen silent long ago.
“Yes,” Bastien answered. “Would you be willing to do that?”
I didn’t have a choice; I was the youngest Alpha on the committee. And the newest. I was still technically
on the probationary period, and I couldn’t refuse them if I wanted to climb my way to the top.
However, the thought of teaching annoyed me. It was impossible to teach students to do what I do.
Surely, their amateur combat will get to me.
But just the same, I nodded my head.
“Yes, sir,” I finally said after a long pause.
“The student council will want to speak with you. I’ll let them know to expect you.”
The meeting concluded and I could already hear the others speaking about going to the local pub later
that evening.
“Alpha Enzo, you going to join us for once?” One of the Alphas asked, hitting me on the back of my
shoulder. “Or are you going to come up with some lame excuse?”
“Yeah, Enzo. Come on! It’s Friday. Let’s have some fun. You are still young. Live while you can!”
The last thing I wanted to do was go to the pub with a bunch of drunk Alphas. What I really wanted to
do was return home and read a book and rest for the evening. I was exhausted from training and
meetings all day. I don’t usually have time for myself and when I do, I don’t like spending it with those I
