I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
Hazel was in her hospital bed when we arrived at the Calypso Pack Hospital. It only took us about 25
minutes to get there from the city. We wasted no time. She was looking for a lot better than when I last
saw her. Hazel’s wounds were healing nicely, and she didn’t look as thin and wasted away. She was still
hooked up to a couple of different machines; one was monitoring her heart rate and the other was
pumping her with a liquid fluid. The heart monitor had a steady rhythm, which was definitely a good
sign. As we entered the hospital, her assigned doctor was the first to greet us. “She will be able to return
home in the morning, Alpha. She’s going to need plenty of rest and to keep up her hydration. But she’s
looking good,” he said, glancing at Hazel with a fond smile. “Thank you for caring for her, Doctor,” Enzo
said in return. “You look exhausted,” I pointed out, sitting by her bedside. She gave me a faint smile. “I
was given some medication yesterday that kept me asleep all evening last night and day today,” she
said. “I haven’t been sleeping much because I’ve been so worried about the village, and they thought it
would help me. I don’t think they anticipated I’d be asleep this long.” “You mentioned on the phone
that you can feel Jazzy’s magic,” Enzo said, stepping toward her. My eyes widened at his words. “What?”
I gasped. “It’s true… I can feel her dark magic at play. But it’s more than that,” she said, her eyes
darkening. “I can feel darkness.” “Darkness?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “I’ve only felt this
once before,” she explained. “A long time ago. Jazzy has conjured it before.” “She conjured darkness?”
Enzo asked. “How is that possible?” “It takes a very dark heart and a sacrifice to do it,” Hazel explained;
her expression was grave. “I don’t know what she could want with darkness though. The first time it was
only to cause mayhem to let out the anger she felt when our parents died.” “Mayhem…” I breathed; it
wasn’t a question. I grabbed Enzo’s arm as the thoughts of the mayhem at school yesterday surfaced in
my mind. “Enzo, could it have something to do with what happened at the election yesterday? “What
happened?” Hazel asked us quickly, looking between us. “We were having an election for President of
the student committee, and during this election everybody who has magic became powerless,” he
explained; her face turned mortified as he explained the events that unfolded last night. I thought, for a
moment, that she was going to jump out of bed and run from the room. I had never seen anyone look
quite as terrified as Hazel felt and it made my stomach twist into a tight and unsettling knot. “That

sounds like the mayhem she would cause, yes….” She said, shaking her head with a worried expression.
“He has returned to our lands; but for what reason, I am unsure.” “He?” Enzo asked, furrowing his brows
together. “Darkness is a person?” “It takes the form of a man; though, it can take many different forms.
He goes by the name Zagreus. He’s a dark demon that if given a sacrifice will do her bidding.”

“Darkness acts as her slave?” Enzo asked. “She can control it?” “Nobody can truly control darkness; but if
they have a common goal, he will work with her and do as she please. Just as long as she does what he
pleases as well.” “A sacrifice?” I asked, finding it difficult to use my voice. “In order for him to form fully,
he needs a sacrifice. He feeds off the blood and beating heart of purity. But that one sacrifice won’t be
enough to keep him around. She will need to sacrifice again soon if she wishes to keep him even
longer. Like a payment for his deeds.” “Why would they make students at the school powerless?” Enzo
asked, shaking his head. “It’s not making sense.” Hazel was quiet for a moment as she thought about
how to answer that, but then her eyes widened. She didn’t have to say anything for me to understand
where her head had gone. This time, it was me who answered. “Darkness enjoys mayhem; so, if it
caused mayhem at your school, then that pleases him. However, I fear it’s more than that. Jazzy
wouldn’t conjure him again unless she truly needed something from him.” “Could it have been a test?” I
asked, looking up at Enzo. Enzo looked at me with a worried frown. “A test? Like she was trying to see if
the spell would work?” “Yes,” I answered. “But what could she be planning that requires everyone to lose
their magic and abilities?” We were quiet for a moment as that question weighed in the air. “How did
she even align herself with darkness in the first place?” Enzo asked and I could see he was growing
angry. “How did she discover this Zagreus?” We both looked at Hazel who had gone pale. “When we
were young, our parents died because of a Volana wolf…” Hazel began to explain, making me gasp in
horror. “It was difficult for us both, but Jazzy was much younger and took it even more difficult. She
grew angry and self-isolated despite my efforts to get her to open up and talk to me. She spent a lot of
time in my mother’s garden. I’m not sure how it happened because I wasn’t there… but I ended up
finding our gardener dead. That’s when my sister started to become a dark witch. This darkness she
called Zagreus was the one who gave her dark magic. I never understood it myself, but something
happened that hurt him enough to slither back to wherever he came from.” “If Zagreus really has
returned to our land, what are we going to do?” I asked, staring up at Enzo who had a grave look on his
face. “You must stay away from her,” Hazel warned. “She’s incredibly dangerous and now that Zagreus
has returned to her, she’s even more dangerous. There’s no telling what she will do. Especially because
you are a Volana wolf. She hates Volana’s more than anything. I don’t doubt that it has something to do
with your kind.” “We don’t even know where she is,” Enzo murmured, clearly aggravated. “If I can feel
her magic, she isn’t far,” Hazel said. “I’ll send my warriors back out and look for her again,” Enzo assured
her. “We also need to figure out how darkness was defeated the first time,” I said. I shivered at the very
thought; I stepped closer to Enzo, not wanting to be apart from him. “I’m not going to let anything
happen to you,” he said, wrapping me in his arms. “That’s a promise.” Hazel looked uncertain and
worried. “We will return tomorrow to help you home,” Enzo assured her, grasping her hand gently. “Get
some rest.” “I will,” she said. “I can’t wait to get back to my village and to my own bed. I’m sure Luna
Selene is doing a fine job at keeping them protected, but with this new knowledge that darkness has
been conjured, I worry for them.” “I understand,” Enzo said. He took a hold of my hand. “See you
tomorrow,” I said to her as we left the hospital room. My heart was pounding rapidly against my
ribcage; I felt so sick. By the time we got back to his car, I was deep breathing and trying hard to
contain myself. “Hey,” he said, reaching over and taking hold of my hand again. “It’s going to be okay. I
promise.” “If darkness really is lurking around, I’m not sure how we are going to protect the nation from
it. What do you think she’s planning on doing?” “I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.” “Do you think
