Lila’s POV
I looked at Enzo with a worried look, but he didn’t appear as worried.
“How much do you know about the new professor at Lila’s school? The one who took over for me?”
Enzo asked in return.
My father’s frown deepened.
“The school board did the hiring of this one,” he answered. “I don’t know much. Professor Xander,
right?”
Enzo nodded.
“I don’t trust him,” Enzo confessed to my father. “He’s harder on Lila than the other students and I
believe it’s because she’s a Volana. He gave Lila a protein shake that makes her feel unwell.”
My father’s eyes widened as he looked at me.
“Unwell how?”
I took a deep breath to steady my rapid heartbeat before answering. I knew the look on my father’s
face
well and whatever I said next wasn’t going to sit well with him.
“When I drink it, it hurts my throat and mouth,” I told him. “It also makes me feel a bit weak. My wolf
doesn’t like it either.”
My father narrowed his eyes and then looked back at Enzo.
“Wolfsbane?”
“We are thinking so,” Enzo confirmed. “I have my researcher testing it as we speak. The problem is it’s
laced with magic and only a witch can undo it.”
My father leaned back in his seat as he listened to Enzo’s words.
“Who is this witch that you are using? Do you trust them?” My father asked, eyeing Enzo carefully.
Enzo nodded.

“Yes. She’s been keeping my mother’s village safe for many years. The other issue is that she’s hunted
by others because she’s friendly with Volana wolves. They think she might know information about
them and they find her useful. So, she’s been in hiding for years. I have some warriors escorting her to
my pack.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I see…” my father said, thoughtfully. “Is it wise to have her travel to your pack? Why not have the
researcher go to her?”
“She has the barrier enchanted to only allow Volana’s entrance. For anyone else, she would have to
remove the barrier and that’s not a risk either of us want to take.”
My father nodded, understanding.
“Is she there now?”
“She should be arriving around now, yes,” Enzo answered. “They will call me as soon as the results are
in.”
“Keep me updated,” my father ordered. “I have a couple of warriors on their way to the rogue territory
just outside our mother’s village to make sure that barrier stays in place while she’s gone. They are
trained to protect Volana’s so they will be in good hands.”
“I really appreciate that,” Enzo said.
“I’ll send out a memo to the committee as well,” my father said as he neared the living room door. He
paused and looked back at me. “With Paul and his warrior or rogues still out there, I’m not taking
chances. We need eyes everywhere.”
My father then left the room, leaving us alone in silence.
“Do you think Paul and Professor Xander could be working together?” I asked, staring up at Enzo.
“It’s hard to tell. We won’t know until we figure out what he did to that shake mix and why,” Enzo
answered. He glanced down at me, giving me a small smile. “Don’t worry too much about it until you
have to. I’m not going to let anything happen to you and neither will your father.”
I knew this, but I was still worried.
I leaned against him, burying my face in the side of his body and allowing his warmth to comfort and
soothe me. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly.
“If Paul is behind this, our warriors are stronger than his. Not only do I have my gammas, but your
father’s as well. He’s going to alert the Alpha Committee members too, so we will have them as well.
We
are undefeatable.”
I still couldn’t shake that nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I trusted Enzo and I trusted my
father.
I looked up at him, giving him a small smile.
“Okay…” I whispered.
He leaned down and brushed his lips delicately across mine; a warm wave of electricity coursed
between us, pulling me even closer to him. His touch, his kiss, his embrace, it was everything to me
and
I melted even further into him.
His tongue slipped into my mouth, causing a smile to form on my lips. He deepened the kiss; his lips
were soft with passion yet filled with lust and hunger. His hand went around my waist, and I was waiting
for him to pull me onto his lap, but the soft sounds of footsteps outside the living room caused us to
pull apart breathlessly.
Corrine strolled into the living room but frowned when she saw us adjusting ourselves, her face glowed
red.
“Oh, sorry,” she said with a nervous chuckle. “I wanted to show Lila a new dress I made…”
Enzo stood up and bowed to her politely.
“It’s nice to see, Miss Corrine,” he said pleasantly. “I’m sorry I didn’t say hello earlier. You have my
permission to steal Lila away for a bit.”
Corrine beamed at him before looking at me, making me laugh as I stood up.
“Lead the way,” I said to her; I looked up at Enzo and kissed him gently on the cheek. “We’ll continue
this later.”
He winked at me.
“I’m going to your father’s office and help him with some stuff. I’m sure there’s more to discuss,” he
said.
I nodded and turned to Corrine to follow her out of the room.
“Let’s go to your room,” she said, peering up at me. “Flynn is on his way back and he’s probably going
to bring Justin and those stupid girls over.”
Flynn and Corrine shared a room, so it made sense as to why she didn’t want to hang out in there.
For the rest of the afternoon, we spent time in my room and Corrine showed off her pretty dress like a
fashion show. We also did a lot of gossiping and catching up.
Within an hour, I heard a knock on my door that brought me to my feet. When I opened the door, I was
pleased to see Bri standing before me, but then my face fell when I saw her red and swollen eyes.
She looked so broken; like she’s been crying for days.
“Where the hell have you been?” She seethed, through her unshed tears. “I’ve been trying to reach you
for days.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m so sorry. But I just started school and—”
“And she’s been spending time with her mate,” Corrine said folding her arms across her chest. “She
doesn’t have to be by her phone 24/7.”
I was surprised by Corrine’s boldness in speaking to Bri because she was usually so soft-spoken.
“Cor, can you give us a minute?” I asked.
Corrine nodded and stood to her feet.
“I’ll see you at dinner,” she said just before leaving the room.
“Bri, what’ happened?” I asked, grabbing her arm, and pulling her toward the bed.
“Alex rejected me…” she said hoarsely.
My eyes widened and my heart went straight into my stomach.
“What?!” I gasped. “He rejected you?? I thought you were super happy.”
“I thought so too,” she breathed. “But I guess he only wanted me because I was born to a family of
warriors. But then he got the opportunity to be with the daughter of an Alpha and he left me…”
“Oh, Brianna, I’m so sorry,” I cried, wrapping my arms around her. “I should have been here for you. I’m
so sorry…”
“I haven’t heard from my wolf in days…” she said as tears fell from her eyes. “But I can still feel her…
she’s so hurt, Lila…”
“It’s going to be okay…” I breathed, holding her tighter. “We are going to get through this, Bri. I
promise.”
I let her cry for a long while.
We talked for a bit longer and I even got her to smile a little, though I knew nothing could take away
her pain right now.
But soon, my mother was calling us for dinner. We went downstairs with my hand firmly holding hers.

Enzo’s POV
“Alpha…” I heard the mindlink of my beta coming through; he sounded strained.
Selene had just informed us that dinner was ready and we were heading to the dining room. I let
Bastien go ahead of me as soon as I heard Ethan’s voice.
“What is it?”
“I just got word from the gammas that were sent to escort Miss Hazel…” he went on to say. “They were
attacked.” t
My heart fell deep into my stomach.
“Attacked?”
“Yes…” Ethan Answered. “Alpha… Hazel was taken.”
