Lila’s POV
“How was class this morning?” Enzo asked at the other end of the phone.
I sat in my room, lying on my bed, trying to wrap my mind around everything that had happened this
morning. Xander broke my arm and then somehow got everyone to forget about the incident. I couldn’t
help but think that Sarah had something to do with that.
Suddenly Scott’s warning about Sarah didn’t seem far off.
Of course, I didn’t say any of this to Enzo. It would only cause him to worry, and he had enough to
worry about. Xander was obviously looking for something, whether it was a fight or something else, he
was looking for it.
This was a battle I was going to have to face on my own.
My heart ached though as I spoke to Enzo. It’s been a little over a day since I last heard his voice and
two days since I felt his touch. I knew this distance was going to be hard, but I wasn’t prepared for how
hard it would be. Being marked by him only made our mate bond stronger.
“It was okay,” I murmured. “I wish you were still the combat and shifting Professor though. I’m not a fan
of this new one.”
“You know why I can’t be though…” he said, almost sadly.
“Do you miss it?”
“I miss you.”
“I mean, do you miss teaching,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips.
“My pack needs me right now,” he told me gently. “Or else I’d try to return and continue teaching.
Being away from you is hard. But with Paul and his crew still out there, I don’t want to take any chances.
They’ve terrorized my pack enough while I was at the academy last year.”
“I understand,” I said to him. “How’s your mom?”
“Better,” he said. “The doctors say she should be ready to return home in a couple of days.”

He sounded unsure though.
“What’s wrong?” I asked. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Of course, it is. I just don’t know how I feel about her returning to the rogue territory.”
“The only reason she got hurt was because she left her village barrier,” I reminded him. “I understand
why she doesn’t want to leave her home. Those wolves have been her family for a long time. She
doesn’t want to abandon them. Volana’s don’t abandon their families.”

“Lila?” I heard my name being called from outside my door.
It was Rachel.
“We are going to the dining hall for dinner. You want to come?”
“I’ll be out in a minute,” I called back.
“Dinner?” Enzo asked.
“Yeah. Can I call you later?” I asked.
“Of course,” he said in return. “I love you.”
I smiled at his words; I was never going to get used to this.
“I love you too,” I replied just before hanging up the phone.
Rachel and Becca were waiting for me in the living room when I left my room. They both gave me soft
smiles. I’m assuming Becca caught Rachel up on everything.
“Ready?” Rachel asked.
I nodded and together we left the room. When we got downstairs, it was flooded with other female
students. Some of them were occupying the couches and watching their favorite shows.
Some were cooking dinner in the shared kitchen. Eating in the dining hall wasn’t mandatory. We had
the option to eat at our dorms as well. Each dormitory had a shared kitchen that was kept stalked at all
times.
Some students who were culinary majors would cook meals for themselves and their roommates. The
kitchen always smelled delicious when I passed by.
I caught a glimpse of Sarah with a couple of her friends. They were talking and most likely gossiping
about other students. They were chuckling amongst themselves and applying makeup to one another.
Sarah looked a little better than she did when I saw her earlier, but I’m assuming it’s because she’s
wearing a mound of makeup now.
I managed to catch her eyes as I walked by her though and they narrowed at me. I got an icy chill down
my spine as our eyes locked. I knew she did something to the other students to erase their memories.
She did something to Becca.
Scott was right about her; she had unexplained powers.
Her top lip curled up as she glared at me.
“What the fuck are you looking at, freak?” She hissed, causing her friends to glance in my direction as
well.
They chuckled and turned away just as quickly.
I just rolled my eyes and made my way out of our section of the dorm down the long spiral stairs and
into the main hall.
As we got outside, I saw a few students running, almost frantically, in the same direction.
“What’s going on?” Becca asked, staring at the running students as well.
“Looks like everyone is gathering over there,” Rachel said, pointing in the direction of a bunch of
students. “They are making a circle I think.”
“Do you think someone’s getting in a fight?” Becca asked.
“We should check it out,” I said quickly, an uneasy feeling forming in the pit of my stomach.
I didn’t wait for them to respond; I ran in the same direction as everyone else. They were chanting and
riling up whatever was going on.
It was definitely a fight.
I shoved my way through the crowd until I reached the center.
There were two girls screaming at each other. I recognized both of them from previous classes.
“You knew I liked him, and you stole him, you bitch!” One of them hissed.
“Obviously he didn’t like you!” The other roared. “Maybe he didn’t like your ugly snaggle tooth!”
“Oh, I’ll show you exactly what this snaggle tooth can do!”
Her wolf’s canines appeared, and she growled loudly, shaking the ground under us and causing almost
everyone to take a step back. She shifted into her large black wolf, another loud growl escaping her
throat. The other one shifted soon after; her wolf was dark brown and equally as big.
They began to walk in a circle around one another, waiting for the other to attack. Everybody was
holding their breath as they watched the two wolves. A wolf attack, even with two simple she-wolves,
could be dangerous for anyone around them.
These tend to get incredibly violent.
Before I could convince myself not to, I shifted into my wolf and sprung toward them.
“Lila!” I heard Becca yelling from behind me, but I pushed her voice out of my head and ran until I was
in the middle of the two wolves.
