I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
“You should have seen her, Brody! It was incredible!!” Rachel cooed as we sat in the dining hall.
Brody listened to Rachel talk about how I stopped a fight between the two she-wolves. I kept getting
the sense that everybody was staring at me the entire time we were eating though and it made me
uncomfortable.
Today’s meal was spaghetti and meatballs, but I wasn’t super hungry anymore. I stared down at my
untouched plate.
“I don’t doubt it,” Brody said to Rachel as he glanced in my direction. “Lila has always been badass.”
I smiled at him, appreciating the compliment.
“I just can’t believe they backed down so easily,” Becca chimed in through her mouthful of food.
I didn’t say it out loud, but I knew the reason why they backed down so easily. It had nothing to do with
my words and everything to do with my Volana abilities. I hadn’t meant to use it on them, but when my
emotions are high, I can’t always control my abilities.
I knew they were in my trance from the looks on their faces when they looked into my eyes. I was
suddenly feeling incredibly tired and I had trouble focusing on the rest of their conversation.
“I’m going back to the room,” I announced.
“You hardly ate,” Brody said, furrowing his brows together. “You should finish your food first.”
“I’ll take it to go,” I said, giving him a kind smile.
“At least let me walk you back to your dorm,” he said. “We haven’t really had a chance to talk privately
since you returned from vacation. I missed you.”
His boyish and lopsided grin made it hard for me to resist him. I nodded in return.
“Sure,” I responded.

We waved goodbye and went on our way.
I noticed it during my welcome home party, but Brody appeared to be so much different. He had more
muscles and maybe even taller. He allowed his facial hair to grow, but he kept it neatly trimmed and
manageable. His dark hair was also growing much longer than it was last year.
He also had a different energy. He always appeared to be strong-minded and intelligent, but it was
even more so now.

I knew his 18(th) birthday was over the summer and that he had gotten his wolf. So, that probably had
something to do with it. It was strange to think that Brody didn’t have a wolf last year, but he still
seemed so brave and sure of himself. I wouldn’t have known he didn’t have a wolf unless he told me.
“So, your trip was good?” He asked once we were away from everyone else.
“It was,” I said, peering up at him. “How was your summer? I’m sorry I missed your birthday. But we
should go for a run sometime.”
“It was good; had a kickass party,” Brody said, running his fingers through his hair. “Don’t be sorry
though. I get that you had a job to do.”
“I’m sorry, “ I said, frowning. “I was just so busy, I barely had time for myself.”
“Thank you for understanding,” I said kindly, giving him my best smile.
“Actually…I’ve been wanting to talk to you about something…”
My heart nearly stopped beating when I looked up at his very serious expression.
“What is it?” I asked.
Brody slowed down his steps and I could see the mixture of emotions on his face. I could see he was
confused and hurt, maybe even a little mad. I wasn’t sure where this flow of emotions came from, but it
left me feeling unsettled.
He opened his mouth to speak, but we were interrupted by a familiar voice.
“Lila, may we have a word?” Professor Xander asked, blocking the path with his large body.
I met his eyes and I wanted to tell him no but didn’t want him to think of me as a quivering pup. I knew
Xander was up to something. He had everybody’s mind wiped out in the class; there’s no way there
wasn’t an alternate motive behind this.
I was determined to find out what he wanted and who he was working for.
I said goodbye to Brody and went with Xander toward the nearby benches.
“I wanted to clear the air after our talk this morning. I know it seemed like I wasn’t genuine, but I was,”
he began as he sat down on the bench.
I stayed on my feet until he motioned for me to sit with him. I looked at him for a moment, hesitant, but
the firmness in his eyes sent a chill down my spine and I sat down right away.
“Breaking your arm wasn’t intentional,” he said, shaking his head. “But it also allowed me to see your
weakness and where you lack restraint. You are a Volana, so you should be stronger than the others,
even without the use of your wolf.”
I knew this, but he had me pinned in impossible positions, making it hard for me to move or fight back.
“I’ve heard about your combat skills and I wanted to test you to the max. I can see how I took things a
little too far. However, I see great potential in you. I’d like to work with you. I think with some proper
training, with someone who isn’t afraid to hold back when it counts, will do you some good.”
“Proper training?” I asked, wanting to laugh out loud. My father had trained me my entire life in
combat; I was already skilled.
I didn’t say that out loud, but from the look on his face, I knew that he knew exactly what I was thinking.
“Your true potential has been locked away,” he said, peering down at me. “I want to unlock it.”
“So, you want to do private lessons?” I asked, still stunned by the suggestion.
The last thing I wanted was to be alone with him, especially during combat. If Becca hadn’t stopped him
after he broke my arm, who knows what else he would have broken. The thought left me feeling
uneasy, so I quickly brushed it from my mind.
Then again, maybe spending a little extra time with him wouldn’t be so bad. It might be easier to figure
out what exactly he wants from me. Not to mention I could find proof that he got Sarah to erase and
alter memories.
“I was thinking every Monday and Wednesday,” he went on to say. “At 6 pm. That should give you
enough time to eat dinner and get to the arena.”
After a beat of silence, I finally nodded in agreement.
“Okay,” I said, meeting his eyes. “Private training sessions it is.”

Lila didn’t have to tell me something was wrong for me to know that something was wrong. I could hear
