Lila’s POV
My mother chuckled.
“It took a lot to not say anything,” my mother said; my father looked like he wanted to laugh as well but
refrained from doing so.
Instead, he looked at Enzo with a soft expression.
“I knew you were the right one to take care of her,” my father said to him. “I couldn’t have picked a
better Alpha for my daughter.”
I stared at them both in disbelief; I’d been so nervous about telling them and this entire time they
knew? How was that even possible? We’ve been so careful.
“I don’t understand,” I said, shaking my head, still completely befuddled. “You knew that Enzo was my
mate?”
My mother nodded and reached her hand out to grab mine.
“Did you really think you could hide something like that from us?” My mother asked, all signs of
laughter gone. Now she was completely serious. She cocked her head to the side slightly and peered
into my eyes. “Lila, I’m your mother. There’s nothing I don’t know about you.”
“But we’ve been so careful...” I breathed, glancing at Enzo who didn’t look the least bit surprised. “Did
you know?”
Enzo raised his brows and glanced back at me.
“No, of course not,” he said, shaking his head. “But I suspected as much. I mean, your father did ask me
to go to Monstro with you as opposed to any of his gamma warriors. I thought that was strange.”
I looked back at my parents who were both grinning from ear to ear.
“You were pushing us together?” I asked, staring between the two of them.
“We were hoping you’d come to terms with your feelings for one another,” my father explained. “We
understood that things were probably confusing considering Enzo was your professor.”

“Wait, you recruited Enzo to be a professor at this school. Was that the reason why??” I asked, shocked,
now Enzo was looking at them tense and in confusion.
“We didn’t know until you did,” my father assured me. “I wouldn’t have recruited him to work at the
school if I had known. Dating a professor, regardless of if he’s your mate or not, is against school policy.
If the board found out, they’d transfer him or you to a different location.”

“So, it was just a coincidence?”
They both nodded.

“A weird coincidence, yes,” my mother answered. “We just noticed the way you look at one another and
we knew that look way too well. It’s the same look I gave your father. Your aura changes as well; it turns
pink for love and lust.”
My face instantly warmed when she said “lust.”
“Mom...” I said, rubbing the bridge of my nose.
This only made her laugh.
“Oh, Lila. Relax. It’s completely normal,” she said.
Enzo seemed to have relaxed next to me and I met the eyes of my mother.
“You aren’t mad?” I asked.
“Mad?” She asked, glancing at my father who returned her look before looking back at me. “Why would
we be mad?”
“Because I didn’t tell you sooner,” I said, sighing.
“We knew you’d tell us eventually,” my father answered for them both. “We figured once you were
ready to talk about it, you’d tell us.”
“We didn’t want to force you,” my mother added. “Plus, we knew that you both haven’t talked about it
yet and you were still coming to terms with it. You are 18 years old now and need to learn these things
on your own.”
My heart swelled and I couldn’t help the large smile that spread across my lips. Without warning, Enzo
wrapped his arms around me. I knew he was holding himself back this entire time. He wanted to be as
close to me as possible; he craved my touch just as I craved his.
As soon as he made contact with me, I felt a small electric current pulsating throughout my body.
It felt amazing.
“I couldn’t have chosen a better Alpha for you myself,” my father said, glancing between the two of us
with fondness all over his face. “I’m so very happy for you, Lila Bean.”
I felt elated at his acceptance.
“Thank you, Dad,” I said with tears forming in my eyes.
“Welcome to the family, Alpha,” my mother said, holding her hand out for him to take.
He used the hand that wasn’t wrapped around me to grasp hers and he gave her a fond smile in return.
“Thank you, Luna Selene,” he said in return. “It means a lot that we have both your approval.”
After a beat of silence, my mother went on to ask, much to my horror and dismay, “So, when can we .

expect a wedding?”
“Mom!” I scolded, horrified; but it only made her and Enzo laugh.
My father not so much.
“Not until after graduation, I hope,” he said, staring at Enzo firmly.
“Yes. I want to finish my schooling before we talk about marriage,” I told them, just as firmly.

My father smiled at me.
“That’s my girl,” he said, making my mother laugh again and shake her head.
“Oh, fine. I’ll hold off on wedding preparations for right now,” my mother said with a fake pout. “Will
you be staying here for a little while? I’d like to make a big dinner tonight to celebrate.”
I looked at Enzo who gave me a small head nod and I looked back at my mother.
“We packed an overnight bag. I was thinking we could stay for the night,” I said, peering between the
two of them.
“Of course; you are always welcome here,” my mother answered, clapping her hands together. “So, it’s
settled. I’ll make some phone calls and get others here as well. I’ll start preparing a meal. We will have a
big announcement.”
“Sounds great,” I said with a wide smile. “Make sure Brianna and her mom are also here.”
“Of course,” she chuckled.
Just then, the living room door opened, and Corrine came in.
“What’s the commotion?” She asked. “You guys are so loud I can hear you from upstairs.”
I laughed and shook my head at her.
“We are celebrating tonight,” my father answered. “Your mother is making a feast. Can you text your
brother and tell him to be home by 5?”
“Oh, yes, I’ll have Justin’s family over as well. They are the neighboring pack after all and his parents are
very nice despite their troublemaker son.”
Corrine groaned miserably but she nodded.
“Hey, he’s your brother’s best friend. Try to get along for the night,” my mother said, folding her arms
across her chest.
“Fine...” Corrine murmured. “What’s the occasion?” She went on to ask.
“Your sister found her mate,” my mother answered happily.
Corrine gaped and snapped a look at me.
“What?!” She gasped. “Who is it??”
I smiled at her and wrapped my arm through Enzo’s, resting my head on his shoulder.

Her eyes widened, which made me chuckle.
“Wait... seriously?!” She cooed. “Oh, my goddess. I knew it!!!”
“You too?” I asked, lifting my head off Enzo. “Was it that obvious?”
Did everyone know?
“Only to those who know you,” she chuckled. “I’m so happy for you both. Flynn is going to lose his mind
when I tell him. I need to grab my phone.”
She ran out of the living room quickly.
My mother smiled after her and shook her head.
“I’m going to prepare for tonight,” my mother said as she went toward the kitchen, leaving Enzo and me
alone with my father.
My father settled back down on the loveseat, and he looked between the two of us with a very serious
expression.
“So, what’s this I’m hearing about a witch? May I ask what you need one for?”
