Lila’s POV

“Lila, are you okay?” Rachel asked, peering at me with a frown.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Alex who sat at one of the tables across the dining hall. My face was red with

fury. I hadn’t had a chance to confront him after Brianna told me he rejected her. I certainly wasn’t

going to let him off the hook with this.

What was he even doing here?

“Lila?” Rachel said again after I didn’t respond to her the first time.

I blinked a couple of times and looked at her.

“Sorry, yes,” I answered. “But can you guys excuse me for a minute? There’s someone I need to speak

to.”

Brody slid out of the booth first and then Becca, allowing me to get out. Without another word, I

marched over to Alex’s table not even caring that my friends were staring at me intently. Alex, who

wasn’t very slick and was watching me through his glasses, tensed and put the book on the table.

“Outside,” I said through gritted teeth, not wanting to make a scene. “Now.”

He looked at me for a moment, removing his sunglasses and scanning my face. I was trying hard to

keep myself under control. If Val was awake, she’d want me to rip his head off his shoulders or zap him

until he was paralyzed. But I didn’t have her or my abilities right now so the most he was going to get

was my fists.

Which, right now, was more than enough.

He eventually sighed and stood to his feet. Without a word, he turned and walked out the door. I

followed closely behind him and once we were outside, I grabbed his arm firmly making him stop and

look at me.

“What the hell do you think you are doing here?” I seethed, feeling anger boiling in the pit of my

stomach.

“I’m here to do my job,” he answered simply. “Per the orders of my superior.”

“My father asked you to come here?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “You, out of all his

gammas?”

He raised his brows at my statement.

“Yes; I’m one of his best,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “Do you have an issue with how I do my
