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
the city at this time in the evening; the sun was still a couple of hours away from setting, but the city
was so alive and filled with light. I’ve only been here a couple of times for shopping; I was excited to see
where Enzo was taking me. I had to admit though, I was a bit nervous. I wasn’t exactly dressed properly
for a fancy date. I wore a dress, but it wasn’t that fancy. It was a casual yellow sundress that was covered
in lilies, and I wore a cardigan to keep me warm from the cool fall breeze. My hair was lightly curled and

fell around my shoulders, only pinned on one side with a lily hair piece to keep my hair out of my face. I
rarely wore makeup, but I was wearing a little mascara and lip gloss. We talked for a little while as we
walked hand-in-hand down the city streets. There were so many people swarming around us that I
wasn’t worried about being seen by those we knew because we blended in with the crowd. Then, Enzo
stopped walking and stared up at the building that sat beside us. I frowned, looking up at it as well, and
then I gasped as realization dawned on me. “Chinese?!” I gasped. He laughed and nodded. “I figured we
could do something different; a little more casual,” he explained. “Yes!!” I shrieked, throwing my arms
around him and hugging him tightly. He bent down and smashed his lips against mine, kissing me
hungrily and possessively. I loved every second of it. I smiled into his kiss before pulling away,
breathlessly. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the restaurant. “Good evening, Alpha. Your table
awaits you,” the waiter said, motioning for us to follow him. “You called ahead?” I asked. “Of course,”
Enzo said, smiling. We sat down in the back of the restaurant and another waiter instantly brought us a
scorpion bowl for two. “We didn’t order this,” I said, glancing at Enzo curiously. “I ordered our food
ahead of time. There’s more to this evening and I wanted to make sure we had time for everything.” I
raised my brows, but I didn’t argue. I was excited to see what he ordered. I loved Chinese food and
rarely had something I didn’t like. I sipped on the Scorpion Bowl while listening to Enzo speak about his
