Chapter 140

Lila’s POV Ouch.

It hurt to know that this scholarship was never real. The fact that I spent so much time going over all the pros and cons of moving to Monstro to pursue this scholarship ached me.

Truth be told, I was going to deny the scholarship anyways. If Leroy had opened the folder, he would have seen that it was unfilled anyway. But the fact that he was giving me this huge opportunity only to find out that it was a lie.

I was so embarrassed.

I sat in the rental car as Enzo started driving away from the building and we stayed quiet for a long while.

I wasn’t really sure what to say to him.

“I know that wasn’t easy,” Enzo finally said after a long pause. “

“It is what it is...” I said slowly, staring down at my hands. “I guess I feel a little lost.”

“I know,” he said in return.

We made it back to the suite in record timing and we went straight inside.

“I have to run to a few places. But I’ll be back later,” Enzo said from the doorway.

I frowned at him.

“Oh, okay,” I said in return as he left the resort.

I grabbed my phone and went right into my room; I took that as an opportunity to talk to Briana whom I haven’t spoken to in a while.

“Hello?” She said into the phone as I fell onto the bed.

“It’s so good to hear your voice Bri,” I said in return, a smile on my lips. “I’ve missed you!”

“Lila!” She cooed. “I figured you’d be busy in Monstro to have a normal conversation with your best friend. How are you?” She asked with a chuckle.

“A lot has happened, and I missed you so much,” I said to her, sighing in defeat. “I guess I just needed someone to talk to.”

“What’s going on?” She asked.

“I don’t know where to begin,” I gave her a small chuckle. “Maybe how I went to a party the other night and I got drugged.”

She gasped loudly.

“Wait, what?? Are you serious?” She asked and I knew she was covering her mouth from how her voice was sounding.

“Yes,” I answered with a sigh. “I went to a party on the beach with a few people and the next thing I know I’m being pulled away to a more secluded area. When I got even dizzier and lost control of my body, he wanted to take me back to his place to get to know one another better.”

“What ended up happening?” she asked, obviously shocked over my news.

“Alpha Enzo helped,” I told her, brushing my fingers through my hair. “He took me back to our suite and tucked me into bed. He was really good.”

“Holy crap, Lila,” Bri said, and I knew she was probably shaking her head at me. “I can’t believe that happened. I’m really glad Enzo was there. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I confessed. “But anyways, I had a meeting earlier with the founder of this school and he offered me a full scholarship.”

“Holy shit! That’s amazing,” she gasped.

“Yeah,” I said, shaking my head. “He only wanted me at this school because I’m a Volana wolf. I’m the minority and this school needed a minority. It wasn’t ever my talent that got me into this school.”

We both fell silent as a slight chill went down my spine.

“Don’t let something like that discourage you, Lila. You deserve to attend that school more than anyone I know!’

“Truth be told, I’m not so sure I would have attended that school anyways. I went there to decline the offer,” I confessed.

“What? Why?”

“I can’t just move across the world,” I explained. “My wolf would never forgive me if I left our mate. She was sad when she realized the scholarship was for two years. I couldn’t do that to her; honestly, I don’t know if I want to either.”

“I understand,” Brianna said. “But where’s Enzo’s head at? Does he even want you as a mate? I feel like he’s stringing you along by not marking you or rejecting you.”

“Actually... something happened,” I said, lowering my tone. I worried Enzo would return and he would be lurking outside of my room door.

“What?” Bri asked, curiously.

“The night we got to Monstro... we kind of had sex,” I said that last part quickly and she gasped loudly.

“You what?! You gave him your virginity??”

She said that a little too loud and I was quick to shush her.

“The last thing I need is for Uncle Don to hear you,” I say in return.

“Sorry,” she said, lowering her tone. “But seriously; you had sex?”

“Yes,” I confessed. “A lot of it too. We had sex at the beach and then we went back to the suite and had sex here...”

“Holy shit,” Bri breathed. “So, you two are like are in a relationship now?”

“That’s the thing. I’m not entirely sure. He’s been acting weird. Like distant a little. Then Connie shows up and he drops me to hang out with her. But she’s leaving Monstro, and I thought I could have him to myself again. However, he’s back to just acting like my bodyguard. Like what we had wasn’t anything.”

“That’s weird,” she said thoughtfully. “Maybe because whatever you two had, it can’t come back here. At least not yet.”

“Yeah, I know. But we are still here for a while...” I said in return. “I don’t know. I’m starting to think it was only about the sex. It didn’t matter...”

...

Enzo’s POV “What a lucky she-wolf she is,” the woman behind the counter said with a smile as she rung up the flowers. “This bouquet is absolutely gorgeous. She’s going to love it.”

“Thank you,” I said as I took my receipt and beautifully wrapped bouquet of assorted colors.

After the emotional turmoil that Lila went through today upon finding out her scholarship was a lie, getting drugged by one of her new friends, Connie showing up out of the blue, she deserved a little something. So, as soon as we got back to the suite, I left to go to the nearest florist and picked out an assortment of flowers for her.

As I returned to the suite, I didn’t see her in the living room or the kitchen, so I figured she must have been in her room.

I went toward her door and was about to knock, but I heard her voice.

She must have been on the phone.

I didn’t make it happen to listen in on conversations like this, but I was curious to know who she was talking to. Plus, with my wolf’s hearing, it was hard not to hear her voice clearly as if she was next to me.

“It was only about sex,” she said in a low and defeated tone. “It didn’t matter...”

I stepped away from the door, not wanting to hear anymore.

She was obviously talking to someone, assumingly her best friend, Brianna, about me. She was saying that what we had was only sex?

I will admit, the sex was incredible, and I knew this relationship couldn’t return home with us. I wasn’t even sure if this was a relationship we would have until much later in life when we are both in a place to settle down.

She’s my mate and I don’t have any intention of rejecting her; Max certainly wouldn’t let me do that.

But to say that what we had was only sex?

I couldn’t help the wave of fury that rose through me as I turned away from her door. Walking towards the front door, I paused as I glanced down at the trashcan. With one final motion, I threw the flowers in the trash and left.
