Lila’s POV
Ouch.
It hurt to know that this scholarship was never real. The fact that I spent so much time going over all the pros and cons of moving to Monstro to pursue this scholarship ached me.
Truth be told, I was going to deny the scholarship anyways. If Leroy had opened the folder, he would have seen that it was unfilled anyway. But the fact that he was giving me this huge opportunity only to find out that it was a lie.
I was so embarrassed.
I sat in the rental car as Enzo started driving away from the building and we stayed quiet for a long while.
I wasn’t really sure what to say to him.
“I know that wasn’t easy,” Enzo finally said after a long pause. “
“It is what it is…” I said slowly, staring down at my hands. “I guess I feel a little lost.”
“I know,” he said in return.
We made it back to the suite in record timing and we went straight inside.
“I have to run to a few places. But I’ll be back later,” Enzo said from the doorway.
I frowned at him.
“Oh, okay,” I said in return as he left the resort.
I grabbed my phone and went right into my room; I took that as an opportunity to talk to Briana whom I haven’t spoken to in a while.
“Hello?” She said into the phone as I fell onto the bed.
“It’s so good to hear your voice Bri,” I said in return, a smile on my lips. “I’ve missed you!”
“Lila!” She cooed. “I figured you’d be busy in Monstro to have a normal conversation with your best friend. How are you?” She asked with a chuckle.
“A lot has happened, and I missed you so much,” I said to her, sighing in defeat. “I guess I just needed someone to talk to.”
“What’s going on?” She asked.
“I don’t know where to begin,” I gave her a small chuckle. “Maybe how I went to a party the other night and I got drugged.”
She gasped loudly.
“Wait, what?? Are you serious?” She asked and I knew she was covering her mouth from how her voice was sounding.
“Yes,” I answered with a sigh. “I went to a party on the beach with a few people and the next thing I know I’m being pulled away to a more secluded area. When I got even dizzier and lost control of my body, he wanted to take me back to his place to get to know one another better.”
“What ended up happening?” she asked, obviously shocked over my news.
“Alpha Enzo helped,” I told her, brushing my fingers through my hair. “He took me back to our suite and tucked me into bed. He was really good.”
“Holy crap, Lila,” Bri said, and I knew she was probably shaking her head at me. “I can’t believe that happened. I’m really glad Enzo was there. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” I confessed. “But anyways, I had a meeting earlier with the founder of this school and he offered me a full scholarship.”
“Holy shit! That’s amazing,” she gasped.
“Yeah,” I said, shaking my head. “He only wanted me at this school because I’m a Volana wolf. I’m the minority and this school needed a minority. It wasn’t ever my talent that got me into this school.”
We both fell silent as a slight chill went down my spine.
“Don’t let something like that discourage you, Lila. You deserve to attend that school more than anyone I know!’
“Truth be told, I’m not so sure I would have attended that school anyways. I went there to decline the offer,” I confessed.
