I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Chapter 163

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.
I could stay and confront him right now, but this probably wasn’t the best place to do so. I didn’t want
my father nearby when I gave Enzo a piece of my mind.

Turning away, I squared my shoulders and began to walk towards the party. By the time they had
opened the door and stepped into the hall, I was already around the corner. I almost got back to the
party, but then I heard my name.
“Lila, there you are. I was looking for you,” Brody said with a bright smile and a half wave. I completely
forgot that he was here. Becca was also here somewhere as well.
I invited Rachel too, but she wasn’t answering my texts. I only heard from her once this summer and she
promised she was going to be returning to school this semester. Becca, Rachel, and I are supposed to
be roommates; I was told we were given a bigger dorm as well.
“I wanted to give you these,” Brody said, revealing a gorgeous bouquet.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Enzo and my father walked around the corner and saw us.
“That’s very sweet of you, Brody,” I said to him, taking the flowers from his hand.
He narrowed his eyes at me with a small frown.
“Are you okay? You seem a little off,” he pointed out, staring around my face questionably.
Before I could answer, I sensed Enzo was standing behind me.
“Why aren’t you at the party?” Enzo asked, staring down at me.
My face reddened, but I kept my composure. I looked at my father who shuffled in his feet awkwardly.
“Brody I’ll walk you back to the party,” my father finally said after a beat of silence. As he walked by, he
took the flowers from me. “I’ll find a vase” he added.
He patted Brody on the back, motioning for him to follow.
Brody kept his eyes on me though, clearly not wanting to leave me alone.
“I’ll see you in there,” I assured him. Brody still kept his eyes on me for a moment longer before finally
following my father down the hall.
Once we were alone, I looked up at Enzo.
“How much of that did you hear?” Enzo asked immediately.
He must have been able to sense me lurking outside the door after all; I should have known I couldn’t
hide that from him.
“Enough to know that you are leaving,” I answered, trying to keep my tone even and my eyes on his.
“That’s not how I wanted you to find out.”
“How did you want me to find out then, Enzo? Did you want me to return to school and then realize
you weren’t going to be there? Was I supposed to find out in class with the other students? You know I
signed up to take the second course,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. “How exactly was I
supposed to find out?”
“I was going to tell you before you went back.”
“When did you decide that you wanted to quit?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “Was it before
Monstro?”
He didn’t answer, which in terms was an answer.
My heart fell into my stomach.
“You knew all this time?” I asked, my voice beginning to betray me by becoming weak.
He sighed.
“I’m sorry.”
“Is it because of me?” I finally asked the question that’s been weighing on my heart. “Are you leaving to
get away from me?”
“What?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at me. “What are you talking about?”
“It’s because I’m a Volana and I disgust you, isn’t it? That’s why you are leaving. It’s because you hate
me.”
“You are being stupid, Lila.”
“I’m the one being stupid?” I asked; I could feel myself growing angry with him and I hated that I was
feeling this way. “How could you say that when you are the one leaving.”
“You wouldn’t understand.”
“No, you just don’t want to explain it to me,” I shot back, Tears filled my eyes.
My wolf was growing restless, and her distress was heavy. This wasn’t the time or place to be having this
