“Enzo, can you take her back to her dorm room?” Headmaster Prescott asked as we watched the police car take Scott away.

I hadn’t realized I was standing frozen until Enzo took a gentle hold of my arm and pulled me along with him. My legs, at first, didn’t want to move. But then after the second gentle tug, they finally cooperated and went with him toward the dorms.

“Enzo…” I whispered h oa rsely, grabbing his arm with my other hand. I couldn’t even look at him; I was a complete zombie with my eyes filled with tears,

“I know…” he whispered in return. “We will figure this out.”

I almost paused, but instead, I managed to look up at him. He looked concerned, but there was also a stern determination on his face.

“You believe me.”

It wasn’t a question, though he nodded once without hesitation.

“Of course, I do,” he answered. “I will always believe you.”

“You don’t think he killed Merida?”

“I don’t think he has it in him,” Enzo told me. “I think I will always trust your gut intuition as well and if you’re sure he didn’t kill him, then I don’t think he did.”

I felt like breathing out a breath of fresh air. My mate believed me. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and hug him tightly, but we were still out in the open and we couldn’t do that right here.

“Where are we going?” I asked, noticing that we were heading in the direction of the dorms.

“I’m taking you back to the dorm for tonight,” he said and though his voice sounded strained, his

shoulders were squared. “I think you should rest in your bed and see your roommates. Also, I was thinking you’d want to ask around and do a little digging yourself in the dorms.”

I found myself beaming at him.

“I would,” I told him. “Thank you.”

He looked down at me and smiled at me.

When we got into the dormitory, Eileen Carter stood in the living quarters with Alexander, and they were talking intensely while glancing out the window at the bright sirens. Both their eyes widened when they saw me walking into the room.

“Lila?” Eilleen gasped. “I thought you were upstairs. What are you doing?”

“She came running toward the police cars when she saw who was being arrested,” Enzo explained, shaking his head as if he was so disappointed in me. But I knew the truth.
