I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
I stared at Dee with shock; she had seen the mark so quickly. I didn’t even realize she was standing
there.
Soon, murmurs erupted from around the dining room, and everyone was excitedly chirping.
“Did the Alpha mark her??”
“Had he finally found his mate?!”
“I knew something was going on with them!!!”
My face reddened instantly, and I looked up at Enzo who was only grinning, trying not to laugh.
He found this amusing.
Soon, Ethan appeared beside him with a bright smile, patting him on the back of the shoulder.
“Does this mean we have a new Luna?” Ethan asked the question that everyone was wondering.
Enzo stared down at me, meeting my eyes briefly before turning to the rest of his pack.
“As much as I want to marry her right now, I made a promise that I would allow her to become ready on
her own terms. As most of you know she is a student. She’s starting her second year tomorrow. Once
she is ready, I’m hoping to officially marry her and make her the Luna of this pack. Until then, I expect
you to still treat her with the same respect you would a Luna.”
The pack continued their excited murmurs. Except for a few she-wolves, including the ones that said hi
to Enzo earlier.
They were standing off to the side with their arms folded across their chests and giving me the death
glare.
I knew they were probably going to be a problem for me later and my stomach tightened. I didn’t want
any issues with anyone in Enzo’s pack. But it seems to be unavoidable.
Enzo didn’t notice them though. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him.

“I would also expect that this information doesn’t leave this pack. No outsiders should hear about this
from anyone other than my mate and me.”
“Of course, Alpha,” someone from across the dining room said with a bright smile. He wore a gamma
uniform with the Calypso pack symbol on his chest. “And might I be the first to say congratulations.”
Everybody began to cheer and coo their congratulations.
Well, most everyone.
Those she-wolves continued to glare at me. I tried my best to ignore them.

Dee hugged us both with tears in her eyes.
“Oh, my goddess. I can’t believe this,” she cooed.
“I’m happy for you, Brother,” Ethan said, shaking his hand. He turned to me and reached his hand out
for me to take.
I took it right away and he brought it to his mouth and bowed his head to me, making my face flare up.
I heard a low growl from Enzo’s throat, and I knew he didn’t like another man touching me.
“Congratulations, future Luna,” Ethan said, lifting his gaze to mine.
Enzo grabbed my hand and pulled it out of the grasp of Ethan.
“Careful, Beta Ethan,” Enzo growled in a low tone.
Ethan laughed.
“Easy there, big guy. I’m just teasing. I really am happy for you both though. It’s about time you decided
to take a mate. With your age, it was getting kind of sad,” Ethan continued to laugh.
“You’re one to talk,” Enzo said, a sly grin on his face. “Might I remind you that you are unmated as well?”
Ethan shrugged.
“I’m not an Alpha. It doesn’t matter when I find my mate.”
“Well, in the meantime, keep your hands off mine,” Enzo warned.
But they both laughed, so I knew they were teasing.
I turned to the buffet table while the two continued talking and I finished fixing my plate. Dee was
watching me with a pleased smile on her face.
“You must be so happy,” she breathed; she spoke low so Enzo couldn’t hear.
I couldn’t help but smile in return.
“It’s surreal,” I said with my face warming. “I never thought this day would come.”
“I was beginning to doubt he would ever come around as well,” she chuckled. “But now that you are
marked, will you be moving in?”
Moving in?
I hadn’t even thought about that.
“We didn’t talk about it,” I told her, frowning. “I’m still in school. I guess it would only be a 30-minute
commute. But my roommates would be very upset.”
“I’m sure they would understand,” she said with a frown. “A mate bond is very important. You should be
near one another all the time. At least in the beginning.”
My heart squeezed painfully in my chest. I looked at Enzo who was still talking with Ethan. He told me
we could take things slow, but maybe he just meant marriage. Did he really expect me to abandon my
friends to move in here?
Enzo turned to me and smiled.
“Hold on, let me fix myself a plate,” he said as he continued to place food on his plate.
Dee went back to work and others were talking amongst themselves. Once Enzo was done, we went
over to the dining table and sat down.
I stared at my food with a frown as Enzo began eating.
“Why aren’t you eating?” He asked, raising his brows.
“I have school tomorrow…” I said slowly, still staring at the food.
“All the more reason to eat,” he said in response.
“I mean… I have to return to school tomorrow,” I said, this time I rose my gaze to meet his eyes. “To my
dorm.”
He frowned and set his fork down.
“I see,” he said, staring around my face curiously.
“I have roommates who depend on me being there,” I continued. “If I leave then they would be
assigned a new roommate to live in the third room. Becca worries about living with a stranger and—”
“Who said anything about you leaving your dorm?” Enzo asked, his brows furrowing together.
“I just assumed that you’d want me to move into this packhouse and live with you. I mean it’d be
doable because it’s only a 30-minute commute. But—”
“Lila, I already told you that nothing has to happen until you are fully ready,” Enzo said, his tone soft
and compassionate. “I meant what I said.”
I met his eyes; my heart began to beat quickly against my chest and a smile tugged at my lips.
“As much as I’d like to be around you all the time to keep you safe, I know it’s not plausible. I want you
to enjoy this time with your friends and finish college. I never want you to resent me for keeping you
from that. But I’d also like it if you came to stay with me during the weekends and breaks. If you ever
want to visit your family, we can visit them together.”
