Lila’s POV

I was amazed at how many people were at the assembly hall; students were lined up outside the doors,

waiting for them to unlock so they could enter. It was the entire school basically; I knew this was a

mandatory event for everyone, but I didn’t think they’d all be here at the same time.

Brody met us toward the back entrance where Headmaster Prescott had told me I was going to enter

through. The door was unlocked and once we were inside, we met with a couple of the board members.

“Oh, good, you’re here,” one of them said. “I hope you are prepared.”

“I’m as prepared as I can be,” I said, grateful that I didn’t sound as nervous as I felt.

She only smiled and led us down various hallways until we reached a set of giant doors that led to the

assembly hall. It was a huge auditorium that the drama department used for their plays and the band

used for their concerts. It’s also used for regular assemblies as well.

“Lila, you look gorgeous,” Tiffany Prescott said with a fond smile. “Don’t you think, Professor Enzo?”

My face instantly warmed when I saw my mate across the stage setting up the microphone and podium.

His eyes found mine and I instantly saw the love and lust in them. I had to fight to keep from smiling at

him.

“Yeah; she looks great,” he said, his eyes never leaving mine.

I bit my bottom lip and broke my eye contact with him to look up at Headmaster Prescott.

“Where should I sit?” I asked.

“You’ll be sitting in the second seat and Sarah will be sitting in the first,” she said, but then she paused

when she met my eyes. “Alpha Jonathan orders.”

“Of course, it was,” Rachel muttered, rolling her eyes.

I nudged her with my shoulders.

“Have you seen Sarah, by the way?” Headmaster Prescott asked. “She hasn’t arrived yet.”
