Lila’s POV
“Well, Lila. You were given a large amount of wolfsbane but not enough where we need to drain you. I
think with proper rest and water intake, it’ll take care of itself,” Dr. Ryan, one of the pack Doctors, said
after he finished examining me.
He poked me with needles and gave me some antibiotics; he ran numerous scans and tests as well. By
the time he finished, hours had gone by, and I was utterly exhausted. I wasn’t able to sleep much at the
hospital because I was so worried about Enzo.
Enzo, Ethan, and Jake had gone to the academy to take care of the Xander problem. He had told me on
our way to the hospital, that Hazel was able to uncover what was inside of the protein mix. It was
Wolfsbane.
Which means Xander had been poisoning me this entire time; but for reasons I was unsure of. Until he
returned, he told me to stay in the hospital to be monitored and get some rest. But rest wasn’t coming
easy to me.
“Any word on Enzo yet?” I found myself asking Dr. Ryan as he drew a little more blood from me.
“Not yet. But I’m sure he’s fine,” Dr. Ryan said, glancing up at me. “He’s a strong wolf and can handle
himself.”
“I don’t doubt that,” I said, shaking my head. “But I fear that Xander might have some extra power on
his side.”
“Extra power?” Dr. Ryan asked, raising his brows.
How could I explain to this doctor that I had suspicions that Sarah, a mean girl at my school, can
manipulate minds and that I think she’s helping Professor Xander for whatever reason?
I couldn’t.
I couldn’t explain that, and I wouldn’t, so I just sighed and shook my head sadly.
“He’s just powerful,” I said. “I don’t want Enzo getting hurt.”

“I’m sure he’ll be fine,” Dr. Ryan said gently. “I’m going to run another test with this blood. Do you need
anything while I’m away? I can have the nurses bring you food.”
“I’m not that hungry,” I told him, wrapping my arms around my body like I was cold, but I wasn’t cold.
Just a little uncomfortable and want Enzo more than anything. Wrapping my arms around my body was
like I was holding myself together.
“I’ll have them bring you something anyway. It’ll be good if you ate, and Alpha will kill me if he returns,
and you’ve lost weight.”
I smiled my thanks to him, though I knew it wasn’t going to reach my eyes.
I was soon left alone with only my thoughts to keep me company.

Enzo’s POV
It was early enough in the morning that the sun hadn’t woken yet, and early enough where no students
were awake. Besides the vampires that is; but there didn’t seem to be that many at this school.
I was glad for that because I didn’t need an audience to witness what I was about to do. Ethan and Jake
trailed behind me as we walked through the ghostly campus and toward the arena. There was a good
chance he wasn’t even there; he could be at his faculty house. Or if he was anything like me, he’d get to
the arena before dawn so he could train before he spends the day training others.
I was right; he was in the arena training with some practice dummies. He looked like a smug asshole
and even when he saw me approaching, he didn’t stop.
“What can I do for you Al—”
Before he could finish his sentence, I swung at him and punched him square in the face. A trickle of
blood left his lips as he glared at me.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Xander seethed. “You come into my arena—”
“This will never be your arena,” I growled, keeping my tone low and threatening. “After what you did,
you’ll be lucky if you ever see the outside world again.”
“Are you threatening me, Alpha?” Xander asked with a little humor in his eyes.
I couldn’t help myself; I punched him again. I already called Tiffany Prescott to the arena, waking her
from her sleep. I was expecting her to show up at any moment, but until then, I wanted to have a little
fun with it.
“It’s a promise,” I growled.
“You can’t prove that I did shit,” he seethed through his teeth.
“Oh, really?” Ethan said, folding his arms across his chest. “So, if we go through your things we won’t
find the same protein mix you gave Lila? The one that contains wolfbane?”
His face fell and I saw the color draining from his features.
“There’s a reason behind it.”
“As much as I’d love to hear it; I don’t give a shit what your reason is,” I said, a mocking laugh escaping
my lips. “What I want to know is who the fuck you are working for and what they want.”
“I’m not working for anybody,” Xander said through his tightened jaw.
“I’d like to believe you, Xander… but frankly I don’t,” I growled. “Now, you are going to pay for what you
did and if you don’t give up your leader, I will make you pay double.”
Before Xander could speak another word, Tiffany Prescott’s voice sounded through the arena.
“What is going on here?”
I turned to see her walking toward us; even this early in the morning, before sunrise, she managed to
get fully dressed and appear as if she had just come out of a business meeting. I called her not long
before arrived to have her meet us in the arena and it sounded as if I had just woken her.
She stopped in front of us, folding her arms across her chest and her attention was fully on me now.
“What is going on?” She asked again, tapping her foot impatiently.
“I need to take Xander into my custody,” I explained to her. “I have Alpha Bastien’s permission.”
Her frown deepened.
“Can I ask why you are taking away my professor?” She asked, raising her perfectly trimmed brows.
Before I could say a word, Ethan was stepping toward her with the reports from the researcher.
“Your professor has been poisoning your students with wolfsbane and we have reason to believe he was
involved in the kidnapping of one of your students as well,” Ethan said, his voice calm and I appreciated
him for that.
Tiffany gasped as she grabbed the reports from his hands and stared at them.
“Are you sure about this?” She asked, her eyes wide as she read the reports.
“I’m sure if we were to go through this stuff, we’d find the same mix we tested in his possession,” Ethan
said in return.
Tiffany glanced up at him and he gave her a wary look before glancing at Jake and nodding at him. Jake
went to Xander’s stuff that he left scattered in the corner of the arena, much like I used to do, and
pulled open the bag.
“Don’t touch that!” Xander growled but before he could move in Jake’s direction, both Ethan and I
grabbed each of his arms and held him in place. He might have been strong, but he wasn’t a match for
either of us.
Tiffany’s eyes remained glued on Jake as she waited for him to uncover the mix. Once he did, she
gasped and took a step back.
“Which students have been affected by this?” She asked, her voice small.
“As far as we know, only Lila,” I answered. “Which is why her father, Alpha Bastien, is also involved. Lila
was found locked in an abandoned barn, caged like an animal and she told me that it was Professor
Xander that had put her there.”
This made Tiffany gasp again as she glared at Xander.
“Tell me this isn’t true.”
“I have my reasons,” he seethed.
“Get him out of my face,” she ordered, glancing at Ethan who nodded.
