I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Lila’s POV
It felt like we were staring at one another for what felt like an eternity. I wasn’t really sure what more to
say, so I just stared down at my hands and tugged at my fingers nervously.
“Mates?” Rachel was the first to speak. I looked up at them and saw that Becca stood frozen, her face
had gone pale. “You’re mates with Alpha Enzo?”
I nodded my head, feeling a wave of shame crossing my features and making me feel a bit
claustrophobic.
“How… what…. When?” Becca stammered through the questions that were surfacing her mind.
“Since my birthday last year,” I admitted, finding my voice again.
“So, you knew since all of last year?” Rachel asked, her eyes wide.
“For most of it,” I told them, feeling more shame.
“So, you’ve been together… even while he was your professor?” Rachel asked, furrowing her brows
together.
“No!” I said, standing to my feet. “Nothing happened between us until the summer…”
“The summer?” Becca asked, shaking her head as she tried to process this information. “You were in
Monstro…”
“Enzo was with me,” I said, feeling my face growing hot as my lies began to surface.
“I need to sit down,” Becca breathed as she leaned against the couch.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you…” I said softly, feeling tears surfacing in my eyes.
“So, what are you now? Are you together now that he’s not a professor?”
I bit my bottom lip again, which made Rachel’s eyes widen.
“What?” Rachel urged.

“He’s back,” I said quickly.
They both looked at me, startled.
“What do you mean he’s back?” Rache was the one who asked because Becca was still in shock.
“Professor Xander got fired…” I admitted. “So, Enzo is back for the semester.”
“Fired?!” They both nearly yelled at the same time.
“How?” Becca managed to ask.
“That’s a long story,” brushing my fingers through my hair. This wasn’t something I wanted to talk about
with them, and I don’t think they could handle anything more.
“Okay… so things happened with you two during the summer and now he’s back as your professor.
What now?” Rachel asked; she sounded a bit calmer now and I realized it was because the shock was
now surpassing her.

“Well, before we found out he’s going to be teaching again… he kind of… marked me.”
The shock was back on Rachel’s face as she gasped.
“He marked you?” She asked, looking at my neck questionably.
I nodded and pointed to my shoulder blade.
“I have it hidden with concealer,” I confessed. “It wasn’t supposed to happen… but it did.”
“So, you two are together?” Becca asked, her voice small.
I nodded, meeting her eyes.
“Yes, we are. He’s my mate and I love him so much, Becca,” I could hear the desperation in my voice as I
said that.
She stared at me for a moment longer before taking a deep breath.
“Who else knows about this?” She asked.
“My family and his family,” I told them. “We just told them recently actually. My best friend, Brianna
knows as well and—”
“That’s why Alpha Enzo and some of his pack members were here to help with the bakesale?” Rachel
asked as realization dawned on her.
I nodded.
“Yes,” I answered. “They’ve all been very kind to me. I spend a lot of time there…”
“And that’s where you were last night,” Becca said, folding her arms across her chest. “Isn’t it?”
My face warmed again as Rachel’s eyes poured into me, but I wasn’t going to lie to her again, so I
nodded. I also wasn’t going to tell them the full story about Xander, at least not right now.
“I’m sorry…” I said in a whisper.
“So, you weren’t with Brianna?” Rachel asked, sounding a bit hurt.
I shook my head.
“I should have been though,” I admitted, meeting her eyes. “What I said about her was true. But I wasn’t
there when I should have been. I haven’t been a very good friend to any of you. I’ve been so wrapped
up in all of this that—”
“You lost sight of your friends,” Becca finished the sentence for me. I looked at her through my unshed
tears and I nodded.
She didn’t look angry; she just looked sad.
“I never meant to lie to anyone. But if word got out about this—”
“You think we’d tell?” Rachel asked, sounding offended. “Lila, I thought you trusted us more than that.”
“Of course, I do…” I said, trying desperately to get her to understand. “I was just scared.”
“Well… now that we know we can help you hide it,” Becca said, a fond smile growing on her mouth,
utterly surprising me.
“Wait what?” I asked, staring between the two of them curiously.
“You want this thing to be a secret, don’t you?” Becca asked, raising her brows. “I mean if the school
board found out about this, they’d transfer him to a different school… or transfer you considering they
need him it seems.”
I nodded in agreement; if it came down to me or Enzo, they would pick Enzo. They needed him for this
class until they could hire someone new. It would be easier to just transfer me to a different academy
and the only other academy in our region was hours away. I’d have to take a plane to visit my family
and that wasn’t something I wanted to do.
Also, if the board found out that we knew we had been mates since my birthday last year, then Enzo’s
reputation would be ruined and everything he worked so hard for would be destroyed.
Our relationship had to remain a secret until after I graduated and I’m no longer a student.
“Yes,” I finally answered my wide-eyed friends. “We want it to be a secret.”
“Okay, good,” Becca said, wrapping her arm through mine. “Then, we will help you.”
“Yeah; like cover for you and stuff,” Rachel said, taking my other arm.
Now the tears were turning into happy tears as my friends took each of my arms and rested their heads
on my shoulders.
“You can count on us to keep your secret. But please don’t lie to us about something this big again. We
are your friends, and we have your back,” Rachel said. “And also… I’m happy for you.”
“I’m happy if you’re happy,” Becca said, holding my arm tighter.
“Yeah, if he hurts you… I’ll kick his ass,” Rachel teased.
The idea of Rachel trying to kick Enzo’s ass was funny considering he was a big and strong Alpha and
Rachel was a bear. I laughed and so did Becca.
“What?” Rachel pouted, lifting her head from my shoulder. “Just because I’m a bear doesn’t mean I can’t
kick some serious ass. We aren’t all weak.”
“I don’t doubt that,” I laughed.
“So, anyone else knows about this that we should know?” Becca asked as we made our way to the door.
I thought about it for a moment and then the memory hit me.
“Uh… yeah…” I said gritting my teeth together. “Brody.”
They both stopped walking.
