Enzo’s POV
“What the hell is wrong with you!?” Max growled as soon as we left the living room. “How could you say
that to her! Go back there and fix it, you asshole!!!!”
He was furious; he had never been this furious with me before.
The look on Lila’s face I would never be able to get out of my head. I don’t know what came over me
and why I chose to drive a knife into her like that. But remembering her talking to her friend on the
phone about how this was only sex.
I thought that’s what she wanted anyways.
“Of course, that’s not what she wanted, jerk. She’s never going to forgive us. You should have seen how
hurt her wolf was. Our mate is hurt and it’s your fault entirely. You need to fix this, Enzo.”
I knew he was right; I couldn’t just leave it like this.
I opened my room door to see if I could speak with Lila, but she wasn’t there.
Maybe this was for the best.

Lila’s POV
I couldn’t let this get to me.
I lay in bed with my knees pressed against my chest and tears ran down my face. This was almost as
painful as being rejected.
Why did he insist on torturing me so much?
“Maybe it’s a misunderstanding?” Val whispered; her tone was strained, and I could hear the pain she
was feeling. It hurt me even more. I hated that my wolf was feeling like this.
She truly tried to see the good in our mate, but she was being proved wrong constantly and it was
taking a toll on her.

“He was very clear about how he felt, Val,” I said as more tears rolled down my face. “I don’t know what
more to do…”
She was silent and I couldn’t blame her for not wanting to say anything more.

My phone buzzed and I saw that it was a notification of another sale via Cassidy-Ann’s website that I
needed to invoice right away. This brought my mind back to reality because I was here to do a job.
Even if the opportunity with the Monstro Academy fell through and my mate was being a complete jerk,
I was still here for Cassidy-Ann and I couldn’t let her down. I couldn’t get my feelings in my way.
As painful and difficult as it was going to be, I had to brush the thought of Enzo and everything else out
of my mind and focus on my job.
It was still fairly early in the morning, but Cassidy-Ann would be expecting me at the office soon, so I
needed to get dressed for the day.
I wasted no more time or thought and grabbed my clothes for the day and went straight to my
bathroom to shower.
I wondered if Enzo was planning on coming with me to work today. I didn’t bother asking him; he
wasn’t in the living room when I left my room, and I wasn’t going to wait around for him. I decided to
just call for a cab to take me to work this morning.
“Don’t forget,” Cassidy-Ann said an hour after I arrived. “I’m having the banquet at the art gallery
tonight. I’ll need you there, obviously.”
I had completely forgotten about the banquet and when I didn’t say anything, I heard Cassidy-Ann
sighing.
“At least tell me you have something to wear for tonight,” she said, and I knew she was shaking her
head without even looking at her.
There was that very formal dress that Brianna and Becca picked out that I didn’t think I’d be able to
wear on this trip.
“Yes,” I told her. “I have a dress to wear.”
“And what about Alpha Enzo? Will he be joining us this evening?”
I remember Cassidy-Ann making a pass at Enzo and just now the way she asked about him gave me an
unsettled feeling. Especially after my talk with Enzo this morning.
“I’m not sure,” I told her honestly. “I haven’t asked.”
“I could always give him a call,” she said, a fond smile on her lips.
“He might be busy with Alpha stuff,” I said quickly. “I think he said he has a meeting or something.”
“Who has a meeting?”
I froze when I heard Enzo’s voice at the door; Val perked up, as did Cassidy-Ann.
Enzo looked curiously between the two of us with his right brow raised.
“Oh, hello, Alpha Enzo,” Cassidy-Ann said, batting her eyes. “I’m having a banquet tonight and I was just
asking Lila if you were available to attend. But she just told me you were busy. How unfortunate.”
Enzo then looked at me with a frown.
“No, I’m not busy,” he said, looking back at her. “I’ll be there. Should I bring anything?”
“Just your handsome self.”
I found myself stifling an eye roll and Enzo didn’t even bother responding to that.
“I was going to drive you to work but you were already gone,” Enzo said to me, walking toward my
desk.
“I got a cab,” I told him.
“I was hoping we’d be able to talk.”
“I think you said it all earlier this morning,” I said, peering up at him. I was hoping he wouldn’t be able
to see the hurt on my face.
“I wanted to explain a little further…”
“And what would be the point of that?” I asked, raising my brows. “Honestly, Enzo. It’s fine. I get it. We
don’t need to talk about it anymore. I think it’s better if we just did what we came here to do and left it
at that.”
He looked like he wanted to say more, but I turned away from him to continue my work.
“Is everything okay with you two?” Cassidy-Ann asked from across the office.
“We are fine,” I said quickly. “Alpha was just here to check on me, but he’s leaving now.”
