Enzo’s POV
“Alpha Enzo? What are you doing here?” Tiffany asked as she stepped toward us.
“Good after, Headmaster Prescott,” I greeted, giving her my best smile. “Sorry for the intrusion. One of
your students is holding a bake sale on campus and a few of my wolves are helping her. She used my
best cook, Deanna, and I allowed her to recruit some of my warriors as well. Considering they are here, I
figured I should be as well.”
“Oh, yes. Lila’s bake sale. She’s a bright girl. I was just about to head there myself—”
“That doesn’t explain why you are in the arena,” Xander said through his teeth, a flash of fury in his eyes.
“Yes. What are you doing in the arena, Alpha?” Tiffany went on to ask.
I tried to keep the annoyance off my face.
“I thought I left something in here. I seemed to have misplaced a watch. But I guess I’ve been mistaken,”
I answered calmly.
“There’s no watch here,” Xander hissed.
“I see that now,” I said, not looking at him. “My mistake.”
“How about we head to the bake sale together? I’ve been meaning to reach out to speak with you
anyway, Alpha,” Tiffany said with a kind smile as she turned away from us.
She began walking towards the doorway and I didn’t hesitate to follow her, leaving Xander staring after
us soaking in his anger.
Once we were in the halls, we continued walking, but Tiffany slowed down her steps.
“I was sad to see you go so suddenly, Alpha,” she said, peering at me briefly. “When I heard you were
quitting, I was hoping you’d change your mind.”
“There was pack business I needed to attend to. They need me more than the school does,” I explained,
which wasn’t a lie.

“I understand that. You are busy. But the students really loved you,” she said, and I heard a hint of
sadness in her tone. “We replaced you quickly, but the students are having difficulties adjusting. As their

new headmaster, I want to make them happy and make sure they have the best education they can
get.”
“Congratulations on the promotion by the way; you deserve it,” I said to her, ignoring her words.
I truly meant that.
She beamed at the compliment. Tiffany has been a part of the board for a long time and is always in the
shadow of the leader. I always saw the potential in her to rise to the top and I’m glad it worked out in
her favor.
“Thank you,” she said with a bright smile.
“Is that what you wanted to speak to me about?” I asked, glancing at her. “To tell me the students miss
me?”
“I wanted to convince you to come back,” she admitted.
“I’m sorry. But I can’t,” I sighed. “My Alpha duties will always come first to me.”
She was quiet for a moment, but then she nodded.
“My father is an Alpha,” she breathed, which oddly surprised me. We never spoke about personal
matters before, and I don’t know anything about her home life. I didn’t know her father was an Alpha.
“Is that so?”
She nods.
“He’s the Alpha of the Redstone pack, just South of Higala,” she answered. “So yes… I understand that
Alpha duties come before everything…” she paused. “And everybody.”
There was a ping of hurt in her voice.
I knew of the Redstone pack; their Alpha was said to be fierce. It made sense that their daughter would
be some kind of authority figure as well. She had Alpha blood and leadership qualities. I wasn’t
surprised to hear this.
“Thank you for understanding,” I said to her, giving her a nod.
She gave me a small smile in return before squaring her shoulders.
“There are some things I need to take care of. Let Lila know I’ll be at her bake sale in a few,” she told
me, forcing a smile before walking in a different direction.
I looked after her for only a moment but then turned away and went to go see my mate.

Lila’s POV
Student after student arrived at the bake sale. I couldn’t believe how many students actually showed up
and continue to show up.
“These brownies are delicious, Lila!” One girl cooed, taking a giant bite of the fudge brownie she had
just bought. “You’ll have to send me the recipe.”
“I’ll send it to your school email,” I chuckled, just as another student purchased a couple of the cookies.
“What’s the cause?” The student asked, staring at the cookies with such hunger that it made a smile
form on my lips.
“The cause is for students,” I said, motioning with my hands to the school. “The committee will use this
money for fun events, gatherings, and items that students want and need. I thought it’d be nice if we all
contributed to those things.”
“I love that idea!”
“Thanks,” I said with a smile.
My thoughts were interrupted by Sarah’s friends yelling from nearby.
“Free ice cream!! Get your free ice cream!!”
Some students eagerly left my line to go get ice cream, making me scowl in Sarah’s direction. That’s
when I noticed that a couple of her friends were holding clipboards and making students sign before
they picked out their ice cream.
