Lila’s POV
“Lila, are you okay?” Rachel asked, peering at me with a frown.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Alex who sat at one of the tables across the dining hall. My face was red with
fury. I hadn’t had a chance to confront him after Brianna told me he rejected her. I certainly wasn’t
going to let him off the hook with this.
What was he even doing here?
“Lila?” Rachel said again after I didn’t respond to her the first time.
I blinked a couple of times and looked at her.
“Sorry, yes,” I answered. “But can you guys excuse me for a minute? There’s someone I need to speak
to.”
Brody slid out of the booth first and then Becca, allowing me to get out. Without another word, I
marched over to Alex’s table not even caring that my friends were staring at me intently. Alex, who
wasn’t very slick and was watching me through his glasses, tensed and put the book on the table.
“Outside,” I said through gritted teeth, not wanting to make a scene. “Now.”
He looked at me for a moment, removing his sunglasses and scanning my face. I was trying hard to
keep myself under control. If Val was awake, she’d want me to rip his head off his shoulders or zap him
until he was paralyzed. But I didn’t have her or my abilities right now so the most he was going to get
was my fists.
Which, right now, was more than enough.
He eventually sighed and stood to his feet. Without a word, he turned and walked out the door. I
followed closely behind him and once we were outside, I grabbed his arm firmly making him stop and
look at me.
“What the hell do you think you are doing here?” I seethed, feeling anger boiling in the pit of my
stomach.

“I’m here to do my job,” he answered simply. “Per the orders of my superior.”
“My father asked you to come here?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “You, out of all his
gammas?”
He raised his brows at my statement.

“Yes; I’m one of his best,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “Do you have an issue with how I do my
job? I think I’ve been doing great as a gamma.”
“You might be great at being a gamma, but you are shitty at being a man,” I seethed. “You hurt my best
friend and—”
“Is that what this is about?” Alex asked and I could hear in his voice that he was stifling a laugh. “Some
petty teenage drama?”
“This isn’t just teenage drama, Alex, and you know it,” I said, pretty taken aback by his cruel words.
How could he be so heartless? It’s obvious he never cared for Brianna.
Poor Brianna was still recovering after being rejected.
“Look, I love Brianna and I probably always will. She was my first mate and that’s a bond that can’t be
broken. At least not easily,” Alex said, sounding even smugger by the moment. “But she isn’t as
powerful as an Alpha’s daughter. She’s not even a Beta’s daughter. She can’t get me what I want in life
and because of that, I had to do what was best for me.”
“What do you even want in life, Alex?” I found myself asking, generously curious.
“I want what every great wolf wants. Power,” he said; then he smirked. “Eileen can give me the power I
want. Brianna couldn’t. It’s as simple as that.”
“Bri deserves a lot better than a scumbag like you,” I said through my teeth.
“Maybe so, but I’m still the gamma they put in charge of keeping your spoiled ass safe,” he said in
return.
A growl escaped my lips as I spun away on my heels and walked back towards the dining hall.
“You won’t even notice I’m here!” He called from behind me.
“I already did,” I murmured and then I went into the dining hall without another word.
My friends were still sitting at the table eating their food; Brody and Becca slid out of the booth so I
could resume my seat and continue eating.
“Everything okay?” Becca asked.
“Yeah,” I said; though, I was biting my lip. “I just had to deal with something.”
We talked for a bit more while we ate and then once we were done, I started toward the arena to see
Enzo after his last class. I tried to pay Alex no attention, but I could clearly see him watching me from a
distance and it was infuriating.
At least I didn’t have to pretend Enzo wasn’t my mate around him; everybody in both my father’s pack
and Enzo’s pack was aware that we were mates. Just as I rounded the corner, and the arena doors came
into view, I felt a strong hold on my wrist pulling me into a nearby supply closet, trapping me in the
dark atmosphere.
As I was pressed against the wall, my heart was racing so fast I thought it was going to beat out of my
chest and my entire face was hot.
I wasn’t afraid though.
Instead, I laughed as my soft lips found the sweet spot on my neck and began to kiss and lick.
“Enzo,” I chuckled as his lips found mine and he kissed me sweetly and yet so hungrily. “What are you
doing?” I whispered against his lips.
“Kissing you,” he whispered back.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him, allowing his scent to fill my every
sense and ease all the tensions I had felt from the day. Being with him was so comforting and amazing. I
never wanted this feeling to end.
“I can see that,” I said as I smashed my lips against his and deepened our embrace.
His tongue was so soft as it explored my mouth, twirling itself with my tongue. I felt his teeth grazing
my bottom lip and conquering it as his own. The growl that emerged from his throat made my face hot
and it made me want him even more.
“Should we be doing this right here?” I said between kisses.
He broke his kiss from my lips and started to kiss other areas of my face. He made his way across my
cheekbones and to my ear where he nibbled on my lobe and sent a wave of chills to course through my
entire body.
“I’m just going to miss you tonight,” he whispered against me, and then my heart fell into my stomach
at his words.
I looked up at him, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness so I could just make out the longing and
