“I was with my mother,” I told him quickly, which wasn’t a lie. I was with my mother and a few others, including Enzo, doing the protection ritual and summoning the guardian of the earth. But I wasn’t going to say that to the detective and Headmaster Prescott.

“With your mother?” He asked, raising his brows.

I nodded my head, leaning back in my seat.

“Yes, sir.” I answered as confidently as I could. “I was with my mother. She was in town visiting and we enjoyed the day together.”

“Lila’s mother is a very powerful Luna for the Nova pack in Elysium, Headmaster Prescott explained to him. “Her father is Alpha Ba stien. He’s the leader of the Alpha Committee so he’s often traveling around and checking out neighboring packs. He’s very close allies with your Alpha as well, detective.”

Detective Sanchez tensed at the mention of his Alpha, whom I’m assuming was Alpha Jonathan. Most of the authorities and emergency services in Higala were from the Crescent Moon pack, which was Alpha Jonathan and Sarah’s pack.

“I see,” he said, clearing his throat. “Then I suppose that checks out.”

“If I need to call my mother, I would be happy to do so, Detective,” I said, giving him a coy smile.

“That won’t be necessary, Miss Lila. I appreciate your time. That’s all the questions I have for you.”

I nodded and stood to my feet.

“Ga mma Alexander, would you please escort Lila back to her dorm?” Headmaster Prescott asked kindly.

I had almost forgotten that Alex was standing nearby; he was so quiet during all that questioning. I’m glad. he didn’t scoff at my obvious lies or make any grunting sounds to show his disbelief and annoyance at my

answers.

“Yes mam,” he said politely. “Should I return here once I’m done?”.

“I’ll let you know the next student to escort here once we discuss it,” Headmaster Prescott informed him.

He nodded and turned toward the doorway; this time, he walked first and trailed after him.

Once we were outside, I noticed he was walking in the direction of the dorms.

“I have to go back to Enzo,” I told him.

“I’m not getting in trouble for you,” he muttered. “If you want to go back there, you have to sneak back yoursell

I frowned at his back, but he did not attempt to stop or turn to look at me. I just rolled my eyes and turned in the opposite direction.
