I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
It’s been an hour and Rachel hasn’t left her room. I felt awful for upsetting her. She was right; I had no
right to question her like that. I’m not sure what came over me and I felt so ashamed. Becca was already
in bed sleeping and I could see the faint light under Rachel’s door, indicating that she was awake. I
knocked on her door lightly and I heard her faint voice saying, “Come in.” I took a deep breath before
opening the door and poking my head in. She was curled up on her bed and her eyes were red like
she’s been crying. It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest; I had hurt her. “Hey…” I said softly.
When she didn’t say anything, I stepped into her room. “Rachel, I’m so sorry,” I breathed, shutting the
door behind me. “I was a total monster, and you didn’t deserve that. You were right; it wasn’t my
business. He’s your father and I don’t have a right to tell you what to do.” “He wants to have a better
relationship with me…” she murmured, lowering her gaze. “I want to give him a chance to redeem
himself.” “I understand that completely. I’m sorry I gave you the third degree…” “I know you don’t trust
Alpha Jonathan, but he’s not that bad, Lila. He saved my father’s business. Without him, my father
would have gone bankrupt. We owe him a lot for that,” she said, meeting my eyes. Suddenly, I was
getting a weird feeling. Alpha Jonathan always had an alternative motive when it came to things like
that. He’s a wealthy businessman and owns basically everything; what would he want with a small
restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy? I wanted to ask her, but I decided it was probably
better if I didn’t. So, I kept my mouth shut. “Can you please just give them a chance? For me?” I sighed,
not wanting to argue with her anymore. “Sure,” I said, forcing a small smile. “I will give them a chance,
for you.” She smiled widely at me and leaped to her feet, running toward me and wrapping her arms
around me. “Thank you, Lila,” she breathed. I hugged her back, but I couldn’t shake that nasty feeling
that was bubbling in the pit of my stomach.
….
The next day.

It was finally Saturday, which meant I had two days to prepare for my first real student committee
meeting of the year. I was beyond excited but also incredibly nervous. I learned a lot about these things
from my father. When I was young, I used to sit in on his Alpha meetings, so I knew how to speak in
front of small crowds and get my points across effectively. I just hoped enough students wanted to join
the committee. I was going to need a handful of students if I wanted this committee to be successful.

Rachel finally agreed to be a part of it; last year she wanted no part in it. But this year she wanted to
join. I also had Brody, Becca, and a couple of others who were a part of the committee last year. But so
far nobody else has asked to join, which made me nervous. “How about we create flyers?” Becca
suggested. We sat in the dining hall eating our breakfast and talking about the committee. Rachel
hadn’t joined us yet, but at the table sat Brody, Becca, and our new fairy friend, Kay. She had just told
me she wanted to join as well, so at least we were one person closer to having a full committee. I
wanted at least 10 members and so far, we had 7. “That’s a great idea,” I said, writing that down in the
notebook that sat beside my plate. Every Saturday the dining hall had a buffet for breakfast. It consisted
of every breakfast food imaginable. Most of the time I’m usually in the calypso pack by now, but Enzo
had a few things to do this morning, and I wanted to brainstorm some of Monday’s meeting with my
friends, so we decided not to return until later this afternoon. My father was still at the pack
interrogating Xander and searching for Jazzy with the warriors. My mother was still in the rogue village
keeping the shield in place while Hazel recovers in the hospital. It won’t be long now until she can
return to the village herself and my mother can return to the Nova pack. I’m sure she’s probably
exhausted and missing my father terribly. I looked at Kay who was nibbling on her fruit salad. “Did you
get your abilities back yet?” I asked. She frowned and glanced up at me; I could see sadness in her eyes
as she shook her head. “Not yet,” she murmured. “Has the board said anything to you about when we
could be expecting them back?” “I think they still need to figure out what caused them to disappear,” I
admitted. “Hopefully soon.” She sighed and nodded as she took another bite of the fruit. “I hope so…”
she said, sounding all sorts of defeated. “Has anyone seen Rachel?” Becca asked. “She was gone before
we woke up this morning, which is very unlike her.” It’s true that Rachel is usually the last of us to wake
up on weekends. It was strange that she was already awake and gone this morning. “I haven’t seen her
at all since yesterday,” Brody answered. Becca looked at him and then narrowed her eyes like she was
just remembering something. “So… you and Sarah, huh?” She then asked, making me nearly choke on
the bacon I just put in my mouth. Brody froze and looked at her; I could see the redness intensifying
around his face. “Why did you tell me you were mates?” Becca proceeded to ask. “I didn’t tell anyone
besides Lila,” he admitted. “I guess it was because I was still trying to figure out my feelings.” “What’s to
figure out? You are mates. Your wolf will automatically love her regardless of who she is,” Becca
shrugged as she took a bite of her eggs. “How did you hide this from her?” He was quiet for a moment,
and I watched as he put down his fork; I found myself holding my breath, waiting for him to respond. “I
hid my scent from her…” he admitted, making Becca raise her brows at him. “What?” She asked. “How?”
“Ohhhh! That’s why your scent and aura are strange,” Kay said, staring at him with wide eyes. “You’re a
witch.” “Wait, what?!” Becca gasped. “You are?? Since when?” “I’m half witch,” Brody answered. “It’s from
my mother’s side. I used magic to hide my scent from her since I found out she was my mate over the
summer. But when everyone’s powers went away during the election…” “Yours did too…” Becca finished
for him; realization dawned on her. “She sensed you at that moment.” She didn’t phrase it as a question,
