Lila’s POV
“Are you out of your mind?” Rachel shouted as I hung up the phone with Scott. I began toward the
door. “You can’t just go there. He could be dangerous.”
“I can’t let him hurt himself,” I say as I grab my coat.
“It’s not your problem to fix, Lila,” she told me, following closely behind.
I paused to look at her.
“He called me; I’m now in his recent phone record. He made it my problem.” She didn’t look convinced
so I added, “You didn’t hear him a minute ago… he sounded like he was in pain.”
“Fine, but I’m coming with you,” Rachel said with finality, grabbing her own coat.
I gave her a thankful smile before leaving the room.
I really didn’t like pubs; any kind of bar I tried to stay clear of. I wasn’t much of a drinker, and I certainly
didn’t like hanging around drunk people. But from when I dated Scott, I remembered that he enjoyed
going to any kind of bar that he could find. He would often drag me to them, and I’d have a miserable
time.
By the end of the night, I always had to drag Scott out of the bar. I guess now that we are broken up,
things aren’t much different. It made me wonder where his new girlfriend, Sarah, was. This should be
her job now.
“There he is,” Rachel muttered, pointing at the bar. Scott was surrounded by a bunch of empty glasses
and practically hanging off his bar stool.
I sighed before approaching him.
“Scott?” I said, placing my hand on his back. He jerked in the seat, nearly falling over as he opened his
eyes, fixating his gaze on me.

“You came,” he said in a slurred whisper; instantly the scent of beer and whisky hit my nose, causing me
to wince. “I should have never cheated on you. Please, forgive me Lila…”
“Let’s just get you home, Scott,” I said to him, trying to help him off the stool.
He leaned against me for support.
“I want to treat you so good, baby… I’m so sorry…” he sounded completely out of it.
“What’s he even saying?” Rachel whispered from beside me.
I gave her a shrug.

“I have no idea, but grab his other arm and help me get him out of here.”
She grabbed his other arm and together we started walking toward the exit.
As soon as we reached the door, I heard his friends cheering and howling at us.
“Yeah, Scott!! Get some action!!”
“Ow ow!!”
I rolled my eyes as I pushed open the door. I had never been more relieved to be outside than I did at
that moment.
“I’ll go get the car,” Rachel said, releasing Scott’s arm. “Don’t move.”
She disappeared down the street toward her waiting car. When we arrived, there wasn’t any other
parking.
I stood with Scott, leaning against me, waiting for Rachel’s return when he started murmuring
something against my ear.
“I love you, Lila. Please forgive me…”
“Scott, you are talking nonsense,” I tell him.
The image of him with Sarah in the halls invaded my mind. The memory of that feeling; the heaviness I
had felt in my heart. That moment of weakness where all I wanted to do was cry. The betrayal I felt.
He lifted his head off my shoulder so he could take in my face.
“Look at me,” he ordered.
When I didn’t respond, his anger was sudden.
He grabbed my face with force and made me look into his dark and hungry eyes, catching my breath in
my throat.
“I said look at me,” he growled.
“Scott—”
“You never pleased me,” he said between his teeth. “Then I see you kissing that Professor guy. Do you
have any idea how that made me feel?”
“I’m sorry if I upset you, however—”
“You are such a tease,” he continued, interrupting me. “Now I want what you deprived me.”
I wasn’t afraid of Scott, but there was something in his eyes that sent a chill down my spine; my heart
thudded violently against my chest and suddenly, I felt frozen.
He grabbed onto my wrist, pulling me toward him. As his arms closed around my body, I realized what
was happening. Before I could wrap my mind around what he was doing, he was already pushing me
against the brick building that sat behind us.
I felt a jolt of pain going up my spine from the force of my body hitting the building.
“Scott, what the hell!” I growled at him.
“I told you; I want what you deprived me. All. Of. It.”
“You’re delusional,” I said in return, placing my hands on his chest, and getting ready to push him away.
“Get away from me,” I warned through my teeth.
“Don’t fight it, baby,” he murmured.
His mouth neared mine and I moved my head; I felt his slimy and whisky-encrusted tongue on my face.
Just as I was about to shove him, I saw a hand on his shoulder, yanking him away from me.
I didn’t even realize anyone else was there.
He turned around and looked up only to be faced with Alpha Enzo.
“Our mate!!” Val cooed excitedly.
I couldn’t mistake the fury in his eyes and the low growl that escaped his throat as he stared down at
Scott. He kept his hand firmly on his shoulder and it seemed he was continuing to apply pressure until
Scott was nearly squirming with discomfort.
There was a part of me that wanted to intervene and get Scott out of Enzo’s grasp, but another part of
me just wanted to let it happen.
I felt disgusted with Scott for trying to have his way with me and deserved whatever Enzo was going to
do with him.
“You’re drunk,” Enzo said in a deep and threatening tone. “If I wasn’t a professor, I would kick your ass
right now.”
I could see Scott visibly trembling. I went to say something, but Enzo spoke again.
“What are you doing out at this late hour?” He was still staring at Scott, but I knew his question was for
me.
