Chapter 0322 Enzo turned to me and smiled.
“Hold on, let me fix myself a plate,” he said as he continued to place food on his plate.
Dee went back to work and others were talking amongst themselves. Once Enzo was done, we went over to the dining table and sat down.
I stared at my food with a frown as Enzo began eating.
“Why aren’t you eating?” He asked, raising his brows.
“I'’have school tomorrow...” I said slowly, still staring at the food.
“All the more reason to eat,” he said in response,
EE “I'mean... I have to return to school tomorrow,” I said, this time I rose my gaze to meet his eyes. “To my dorm.” | He frowned and set his fork down.
“I'see,” he said, staring around my face curiously.

Becca worries about living with a stranger and—"” “Who said anything about you leaving your dorm?” Enzo asked, his brows furrowing together.
“T'just assumed that you'd want me to move into this packhouse and live with you. I mean it’d be doable because it’s
only a 30-minute commute. But—" “Lila, I already told you that nothing has to happen until you are fully ready,” Enzo said, his tone soft and compassionate. “I meant what I said.” I met his eyes; my heart began to beat quickly against my chest and a smile tugged at my lips.
“As much as I'd like to be around you all the time to keep you safe, I know it’s not plausible. I want you to enjoy this time with your friends and finish college. I never want you to resent me for keeping you from that. But I'd also like it if you came to stay with me during the weekends and breaks. If you ever want to visit your family, we can visit them together.”
He reached his hand over to mine and held it gently.
“I love you,” he said, and I saw the seriousness in his eyes. “Iwouldn’t make you do anything you wouldn't want to do.” “I love you too,” I said with a bright smile; and I truly meant it.
He beamed.
“You know that’s the first time you said that to me,” he said, picking up his fork again.
My smile widened as I leaned toward him and kissed him on the cheek.
“The first of many,” I said in return.
I began eating and the thought of my family invaded my mind.
“I wonder how my family is going to react when I tell them about this,” I said, alittle bit worried about my father’s reaction.
“I can go with you this week to see them,” Enzo offered. “We can tell them together.” I smiled; I like that idea a lot.
At that moment, Ethan walked over to us; his face looked worried. He whispered something to Enzo and Enzo tensed, looking at me.
“Lila, I need to deal with something.
I'll be back.” “Is everything okay?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
He leaned close to me and kissed my cheek.
| “Alpha business. It never ends,” was all he said.
He stood up and left with Ethan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEnzo’s POV “Word from the gammas that Paul and some of his men are outside the gates,” Ethan had whispered into my ear.
My head gamma, Jack, and some other warriors were outside, keeping Paul from going any further. Paul was leaning against a red Mercedes with his arms folded across his chest. A few of his men standing nearby as well.
“I told you to stay away from here,” I said, keeping my eyes on Paul.
“We know you are hiding a Volana wolf
in your pack,” Paul said through his teeth. “We can smell her.” “It’s not a concern of yours,” Tsald," anger fueling me.
“Maybe not... but it is a concern of yours,” he said darkly.
“What the hell are you talking about?” I wasn’t going to let him near anywhere near Lila; I would kill him if he tried.
“We want the Volana girl,” Paul said.
“We know you have her. So, I will give you 24 hours to bring her to me...or your mother will suffer.” My heart fell into my stomach, Just as I took a step toward him, he stepped away from the car and opened in the
backseat.
No...
