Enzo’s POV
The waiter managed to get me the security footage from the night before and sure enough, as soon as I
left the table, Bethany was sprinkling something into my wine glass. The waiter went over to the table
and pretended to accidentally trip and spilled water on the table and on Bethany.
While she was distracted, he switched the glasses.
At least I was able to prove my innocence now, however, it was only one glass that she drugged. Which
made me wonder what the hell happened to me last night.
“There’s no way we would have slept with Connie unless something happened,” Max agreed.
The waiter profusely apologized for not telling me sooner and I thanked him for his hard work.
I went back to the hospital with the footage, and once it was reviewed, all charges and accusations were
dropped immediately.
“I have no words…” Alpha John said after his third time watching the video. “I am so sorry for not
believing you, Alpha Enzo.”
“She’s your daughter and I understand that you care and worry about her. I don’t blame you for that,” I
said to him, trying to sound compassionate considering the circumstances. “I’m sorry this happened.”
“I can’t believe she was trying to drug you. What was she thinking?”
“The only person who can answer that is currently in a coma,” I said, shaking my head with dismay
written all over my face. “I’ll keep her in my thoughts until she wakes.”
“Thank you,” John said, lowering his gaze.
I glanced at the clock and realized just how late in the afternoon it was.
I was late.

Lila’s POV
I sat in the arena for a long while. It was 20 minutes past the time that Alpha Enzo said he was going to

meet me there. He was supposed to help me practice for the finals next week, at least the finals for his
class.
But he was late.
Or maybe he decided he didn’t want to show up.
He was probably too busy with Bethany.
Val was saddened by his lack of effort to help us. She was sickened by the thought that he was with
another she-wolf when his mate was waiting for us.
“It just doesn’t make sense…” she said softly. “He’s supposed to want to be with us. We were chosen as
mates by the moon goddess herself.”
“Maybe she made a mistake,” I suggested.
“The moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes, Lila. He loves us; I know he does. But I don’t understand
why he’s choosing to be with Bethany over us.”
“That doesn’t sound like love, Val.”
At least not the kind of love I want to be around, I added silently to myself.
I practiced my stretching in the meantime; I was quite flexible, and this kind of exercise came easily to
me. I was able to reach and grab my toes without bending my legs. It helped that I was wearing a tight,
and stretchy, tank top and yoga pants.
Both of which helped me maintain my flexibility.
“Lila?” I heard my name from the entrance of the arena.
I glanced up to see Brody standing before me with a timid frown.
“Brody…” I said, standing to my feet. “What are you doing in here?”
“I was about to ask you the same thing,” Brody said, walking further into the arena. “Why are you in
here alone?”
“I was supposed to meet with Professor Enzo,” I said, glancing over at the clock. “He was going to help
me practice for finals next week. But he seems to be late.”
“I was just grabbing my stuff from the locker room on the way to practice. But I have a little time left, I
can help you.”
I raised my brows.
“You aren’t even in this class,” I said, folding my arms across my chest.
“Doesn’t mean I can’t help you,” he said in return with a shrug. “I’m going to be an Alpha too, you know.
I’m quite skilled in this kind of thing.”
He was right; just because he wasn’t in this class, doesn’t mean he didn’t know a thing or two about
shifting and combat.
“Okay,” I said with a smile. “I would really like that, thank you.”
Brody shifted into his dark grey wolf; his eyes were bright green and practically glowed once he was in
his wolf form. It was often that I saw him like this, and I had to admit that I was in awe of how big he
was.
He lowered his head like he was about to pounce at me.
He did.
Thankfully, I was quick enough to dodge him; I did a backflip and jumped over him just as he neared
me. He looked surprised by my quick motion.
I don’t think Brody had ever seen me fighting like this before. Once I landed on the ground, I swung my
foot around to kick his wolf in the face, but he shifted back into his human form without me even
noticing and grabbed my foot with his hand, pulling me out of balance until I landed on the ground.
That was a new move I wasn’t prepared for.
