I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
Felicity’s apology took me off guard. I was already crying because of what I just found out about Enzo’s
mother, but then the apology pushed me over the edge It seemed sincere, though I didn’t fully trust
her. I wondered what made her decide to apologize.
I wonder what Enzo had said to her.
But as soon as she left the room and it was only the three of us again, the thought was quickly wiped
from my mind and all I could think about was the fact that Enzo had lied to me. He kept the fact that his
own mother was a Volana wolf.
Did that mean Enzo also had Volana blood?
He looked at me like he was struggling against his own thoughts, and I imagine I probably looked at
him the same.
“How could you not tell me your mother was a Volana?” I asked in a broken whisper.
The coloring of his face had left his features and he glanced downward, unable to meet my eyes.
“I wanted to…” he finally said after a short pause. “But I couldn’t.”
“I don’t understand,” I said. Tears filled my eyes once again and I was unable to look away from him.
“Why?”
“Don’t be angry with him, sweetheart,” Diana said, reaching for my arm. I felt her love and strength
through her touch. It was the same feeling I got whenever I was embraced by my own mother. “I asked
him to keep my identity a secret.”
I kept my eyes locked on Enzo who finally focused his eyes on mine.
“Did you not trust me?” I asked him, ashamed by how my words trembled.
“It’s not that I didn’t trust you, Lila…” he breathed. “I wanted to protect you. That’s all I ever wanted.”
“You made me believe you hated me,” I said, unable to contain my emotions. “I thought you hated me
because I was a Volana, Enzo.”

“It was better that way,” he said grimly, his face darkening slightly as if a memory was surfacing in his

mind.
“Better?” I scoffed. “I thought my mate hated me. How is that better?”
“You saw what they did to my mother. If they found out that you are my mate, they would have done a
lot worse to you. It doesn’t matter who your parents are, they will find a way to take you. I wasn’t going
to let that happen…”
My heart ached in my chest. The entire time I thought Enzo hated me and wanted nothing to do with
me, it was actually the opposite. He was doing this because he loved me and wanted to protect me.
I felt so stupid.
Tears welled in my eyes, and I had to look away from him before they spilled across my features.
“Let me explain…” Diana said softly. “Enzo had only ever wanted this world to be restored after his
father died. He wanted to make it safe for Volanas all over the world so I could safely return to the pack
with the others…”
“Others?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. “Like other Volanas?”
She nodded her head once.
“My hidden village…” she started to say, but then realization struck me as I stole a glance from Enzo.
“The hidden rogue village is filled with Volana wolves?”
He met my eyes, and he didn’t have to say anything to answer that question.
“We fled a long time ago,” Diana explained. “Your mother wasn’t the first one that Blaise targeted. I
was.”
My heart fell into my stomach as I looked back into Diana’s swollen and tear-filled eyes.
“I was his true mate…” she continued, causing my heart to ache even more. “I didn’t realize it until I was
pregnant that he wanted to harvest my abilities and use them for his advantage. When I got pregnant…
he wanted to take Enzo’s as well. I wasn’t going to let him do that, so I went to a witch doctor and
asked for them to remove my abilities.”
“You got your abilities removed?” I asked, raising my brows. I didn’t even know that was possible.
That explains why she doesn’t look like a typical Volana wolf.
She nodded her head and gave me a mournful look.
“When Blaise found out he was furious,” she continued, shaking her head at the memory. He thought
that maybe when Enzo was born, he could still take his abilities. I refused to allow that to happen, so I
fled.”
“And you went rogue after that?” I asked.
Her silence told me otherwise and my heart grew even heavier. I knew this story was hard for her to
speak about and I didn’t want to push her too much to talk about.
“He found her,” Enzo continued for her, stepping beside me. “My father found her. She was still very
pregnant with me and for disobeying him, he had her beaten until she was barely alive. He had her
beaten in front of the entire pack. Most of the pack thought she died.”
His voice grew dark, as did his aura. I knew he was furious about what had happened to his mother, and
I didn’t blame him. I was crushed and I just met her.
I wondered if my parents knew about any of this.
“Then, he threw her in the Calypso pack holding cell in the basement of the packhouse,” Enzo continued
as he shook his head in fury. “A few weeks later, she gave birth to me. But when I was born, it was
obvious that I wasn’t a Volana wolf, despite having half my mother’s genes. My father’s genes in that
aspect were stronger. He was even more furious over that fact. He thought I wasn’t his child because
despite having his genes, I still looked more like my mother, and nothing like him.”
“So, he rejected and released you?” I asked, turning to Diana.
She was still quiet, but she managed to meet my eyes and shook her head slowly.
“He rejected me as his mate and from his pack…” she explained in a weak tone. “But he didn’t release
me. He was going to kill me and Enzo. I thought it was going to be over…” she said, glancing up at
