NovelEnglishA oO +20 BONUS Chapter 0437 Also, if the board found out that we knew we had been mates since my ~ birthday last year, then Enzo’s reputation would be ruined and everything he worked so hard for would be destroyed.
Our relationship had to remain a secret until after I graduated and I’m no longer a student.
“Yes,” I finally answered my wide- eyed friends. “We want it to be a secret.” “Okay, good,” Becca said, wrapping her arm through mine. “Then, we will help you.” “Yeah; like cover for you and stuff,” Rachel said, taking my other arm.
Now the tears were turning into happy tears as my friends took each of my arms and rested their heads on my shoulders.
(J +20 BONUS “You can count on us to keep your secret. But please don’t lie to us about something this big again. We are your friends, and we have your back,” Rachel said. “And also... I’m happy for you.” “I’m happy if you’re happy,” Becca said, holding my arm tighter.
“Yeah, if he hurts you... I’1l kick his ass,” Rachel teased.
The idea of Rachel trying to kick Enzo’s ass was funny considering he was a big and strong Alpha and Rachel was a bear. I laughed and so did Becca.
“What?” Rachel pouted, lifting her head from my shoulder. “Just because I'm a bear doesn’t mean I can’t kick some serious ass. We aren’t all weak.” “I don’t doubt that,” I laughed.

(# ) +20 BONUS then the memory hit me.
“Uh... yeah...” I said gritting my teeth together. “Brody.” They both stopped walking.
“What?!” They both exclaimed.
“He kind of just figured it out on his own,” T said, purposely not telling them about everything else. They didn’t need to know Brody’s business about Sarah.
“And didn’t totally freak?” Rachel asked.
“Nope; he was really cool about it,” I said with a shrug.
“Guess he’ll have to get over his crush on you,” Becca chuckled.
“It’s about damn time,” Rachel said making us all laugh as we headed across campus and to the dining hall.
Brody was finishing grabbing his food and coffee when we got there. As soon as we entered the dining hall, I

There were pancakes, French toast, waffles, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, eggs, hashbrowns and so much more.
On the other side of the wall was the coffee station, which was my favorite station. Especially right now, I was | with Rachel when it came to her need for coffee. | “Hey Brody,” Becca said, waving at him.
The two of them talked while Rachel and I grabbed our coffees. Afterward, we grabbed plates and piled food on top of them. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until after I got to the dining hall and smelled all the amazing food.
“It’s too crowded in here for my liking,” Rachel muttered once she finished getting our food. “Let’s go to 4

Just as we were nearing the student lounge doors, I heard a soft whimpering sound, making me freeze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy friends continued walking, not seeing that I had stopped walking and obviously not hearing what I was hearing. It was Brody who noticed I wasn’t with them anymore.
“Lila? Are you coming?” He asked, staring at me with his worried brown eyes.
“Yeah, go ahead without me,” I said, smiling at them. “I need to check checking. I'll be there in a second.” They looked at each other frowning, but they nodded and went into the student lounge. Brody grabbed my ad

“I’ll bring this in with me,” he said, giving me a fond smile.

I followed the soft whimpering sound around the corner; it grew louder as I walked down an unlit hallway and then froze outside of what I thought was the janitor's closet.
Why would someone be in there? I opened the door slowly and heard her gasp in surprise as the light shined on her face. Blood was coming out of her eyes, and she looked sickly pale; her entire body was trembling fiercely, and her lips trembled.
