Lila’s POV

“What is all of this?” I asked, smiling up at my mate who stood before me with a large bouquet, and my

giggling friends standing behind me. “I asked them to get you here discreetly,” he said, looking behind

me to eye my friends suspiciously. “Hopefully they didn’t cause too much stress.” I glanced behind me,

and they both turned away innocently, avoiding my eyes. I shook my head, but I couldn’t wipe the smile

off my face. “Not at all,” I said, turning back to Enzo. “I wanted to take you out tonight to celebrate your

victory,” he said, handing me the flowers. I took them and smelled them, smiling even wider at the

amazing scent. “I won by default,” I reminded him. “You would have won regardless,” he said. “You had

that in the bag.” I stepped into his open embrace and allowed him to hold me tightly. It felt like it’s

been so long since I was embraced by this incredible man. I loved him so much and I truly missed him.

“So, what do you say? Wanna get out of here?” “Wait, I’m not even dressed for a date,” I said. “You look

beautiful,” Becca said, giving me a wide smile. “She’s not wrong,” Enzo agreed. I smiled at my mate.

Becca stepped beside me and took the flowers out of my hand. “I’ll put these in a vase for you,” she

said, winking at me. “Have fun you two,” Brody said, waving as they began to walk away. “Hey!” I

shouted after them, making them both stop and look at me while I leaned against Enzo who kept me

wrapped in his arms. “Thank you.” They both smiled widely and turned away, leaving me alone with my

mate. “Come on,” he said, pulling me along with him. “I really missed you these last couple of days. I

feel like I haven’t seen you much” I said to him as we neared his waiting car. “That’s why I figured we

could use some time alone together,” he said in return. He opened his car door for me, making me

laugh. “Such a gentlemen,” I teased. “Only the best for my lady,” he teased in return. We only drove for

about 15 minutes until we reached the heart of the city. Once we got to the parking center, he quickly

got out and opened my car door, making me laugh again. “You know I’m capable of opening my own

door, right?” “I know,” he said. “But my future Luna shouldn’t have to.” “I think I can get used to this.”

This time it was Enzo who laughed. “So, are we going to a fancy Italian restaurant?” I asked; usually,

when he takes me out, it’s the fanciest Italian restaurant, so I assumed it’d be the same this time around

as well. “Not exactly,” he said taking hold of my hand. We began to walk the busy city streets. I loved
