Chapter 139
“Mmhmm,” I say, just as Talia comes back down the stairs.
“All packed up?” I ask her.
“Yep. Thank you so much for letting me stay the night. It was great catching up with you, Christian, and wonderful getting to meet you, Enya,” she says, looking around. “Is Alpha Shane around?”
“No, he and Sebi took off already,” I say
“Please let him know that I appreciate his pack’s hospitality.”
“I will. Do you know where you’re going?” I ask.
“I have GPS and I know how to use it,” she says.
We walk outside and I hug my friend. “Take care of yourself and don’t be a stranger,” I say.
“Do yourself and Enya a favor and stop holding back,” she whispers to
- me.
“We’ll see,” I say, pulling away from her.
She waves goodbye to Enya again then gets in her car. I step back beside Enya, and we wave goodbye to Talia.
Once she’s gone, I turn to Enya. “Let’s talk.”
She nods and I walk to Shane’s office. I open the door for her and then close it behind us before walking over to the desk and leaning against
- it.

I look at Enya. “Talk to me.”
She paces a few moments longer then turns to face me.
“I have a proposition for you.”
Enya
Sebi had given me a great idea.
“Enya, what do you want from Christian?” she had asked me.
What did I want? I mean, besides wanting more, what did I really want from him?
“I want him to be my first,” I said, blushing terribly at my admission. I don’t know why it’s important to me, but I want Christian to be the man who takes my virginity.
“Your first is really important. It should be special, and it should be with someone you care about, because you’ll never forget your first time. You care about my brother, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, so then, what does he want from you?”
I shrugged. “Nothing.”
“Wrong. Come on, girl: You’re smarter than this. What does Christian want from you?” she asked, looking at me like I’m missing something obvious.
“He wants me to go to the Academy?” I asked, trying to guess what she‘ s referring to.
“Yes, exactly. He wants you to go to the Academy. He wants

something and you want something. Neither of you is really excited to do what the other wants. You because you’ve never considered going to the Academy and Christian because he’s so uptight. So, I suggest a compromise. He gives you what you want, which makes even more sense if you plan to take the sex class at the Academy. And you give him what he wants. You can sign up for the Academy right away, look through the curricula that they have, decide which path is right for you and while you’re getting ready to go, you can get what you want from Christian.”
It seemed simple when Sebastiana laid it out like she did and maybe for her, it is that simple. But for me, it’s not. For me, it’s a huge risk. What if he says no. What if… what if he’s not holding back because of the job, but because of me and he doesn’t want to hurt my feelings by saying that. I mean, I know he was clear with Violet, but she’s not part of the Alpha family. Yes, he is protecting the pack, but it’s different with Shane and I.
I’m distracted when I join Christian and Talia for breakfast. I’m distracted when Talia and Sebastiana spar and I’m still distracted when we’re saying goodbye to Talia.
