Enzo’s POV
“Hey, handsome. I had a great time last night. We should do it again soon.”
Fuck.
What the hell was she doing here?
I could feel Max growing angry at her presence; this was the last thing we needed right now. Lila was already upset enough about seeing me with Bethany last night, now she was about to find out what happened with Connie and me.
Not that I knew what happened with Connie with me.
Regardless of how hard I tried, everything was still such a blur.
Connie approached, batting her lashes and swaying her hips; she had to have known that whatever happened was a mistake and won’t happen again.
I clearly wasn’t in the right frame of mind.
She ran her long fingers down my arm and grabbed her wrist, holding it firmly in my grasp, trying to keep my wolf under control.
“Connie, you should leave,” I said in a low tone between my teeth.
She looked starlted by my words.
“Enzo… have you gone mad?” She asked. “What did I do to make you so angry?”
“We need to talk about what happened,” I said in a lower tone so Lila couldn’t hear.
Though, she was standing close enough where she probably could. However, she appeared to be in a daze, so maybe she couldn’t.
“Did I do something wrong?” She asked; she sounded sad and her lips turned into a pout.
I went to answer, but I heard a deep growl emerging from Lila’s throat, turning our attention to her.
I saw the glowing of Lila’s eyes and the shadow of her wolf seeping through. Lila’s wolf was escaping through her body with such force that it frightened Connie. She took a step away, afraid of what Lila might do. But I new she wouldn’t hurt us; she was in pain.
I had caused this pain.
Max wailed in agony; it was difficult for him to see her in this kind of pain.
He has barely said a word since we woke up beside Connie this morning. Max also had no memory of the event that happened last night and I knew it was bothering him more than anything.
We stayed silent as we watched Lila shift into her wolf; a surge of power escaped from her. I could feel the strength she portrayed, but I could also feel her hurt.
Soon, she was running from the arena, leaving Connie and me alone.
Connie had been holding her breath the entire time and let out a gasp as soon as Lila was gone.
She looked up at me with large and alarmed eyes.
“Did I do something to cause that?” She asked, peering up at me with large and frightened eyes. she said weakly.
“You need to leave,” I told her; my tone darkening as my wolf began to surface.
There was no holding him back any longer.
“We need to go after our mate,” Max pleaded. “She needs us.”
“She needs space,” I said in return, trying to calm him, but to no prevail.
“We’ve upset her. YOU upset her. We need to make sure she’s okay. I can’t take this kind of heartache. We have to go!!” Max growled, trying to push himself out of me.
I said nothing to Connie as I fully shifted into my wolf and sprinted out the arena.
Max picked up Lila’s scent as soon as we were outside; he knew exactly where she was.
It was obvious to me as well; she went into the forest.
We ran as fast as we could until we reached the forest ground and we saw her running toward us.
Actually, she wasn’t running toward us at all. She was just running; she was in her human form and tears were staining her fair complexion.
I shifted into my human form as well and watched as she pumped her legs as fast as she could. It seemed like she didn’t see me; at least not at first.
