Chapter 287 Speaking To Xander

Lila’s POV

“You knew I was going to come see you?” I asked, eyeing him carefully. I tried not to be repulsed by his appearance, but it couldn’t be helped. He looked awful and it turned my stomach.

“I had hope,” he said in a barely audible tone.

I could tell that speaking hurt him; his lungs must have been punctured. My father and Enzo seriously did

a number on him. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t just talk to them and end his misery. All they wanted to know was who sent him and where he came from.

“Why did you hope I’d see you?” I found myself asking, completely forgetting about the questions I

wanted to ask him.

I needed to get to the point; I only had 5 minutes with him.

“You’re a smart girl-” he began to say but was stopped as a gross hacking cough escaped his lips and blood splattered to the ground.

“Did you call for me in my sleep?” I asked him, ignoring the pounding of my heart. “Is that why I had that dream?”

He narrowed his eyes at me and assessed my face for a moment.

“You tell me,” he said in return.

I shook my head at him.

“I don’t have time for this Xander,” I snapped, growing aggravated. “In my dream, you said I was in danger. My father thought you were threatening me but I’m starting to think it wasn’t a threat, it was an actual warning. What were you warning me about?”

I felt my father tensing from beside me and his eyes snapped to the side of my face.

A laugh escaped Xander’s lips.

“If I could tell you that, do you think I’d be here right now?”

“Why can’t you tell me?” I asked, stepping toward the cell.

Enzo grabbed the back of my shirt like I was a child about to run into the middle of the street.

“Because it can get into your mind. If it knows what you know… a lot of people will die,” he said through his teeth.

“Wait, what?” My father asked, now looking at him. “What do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what I said, Alpha,” he said, laying his head back on the ground.

“Who sent you?” My father asked, glaring at him.
