Chapter 291 Accepting The Invitation

Lila’s POV

“Do you think she could have been possessed?” I asked, worried.

Enzo looked at me for a short while before taking another look at the letter. I could see the worry and stress in his eyes, and it took everything I had not to reach out to him and wrap my arms around him.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the arena doors opened making me take a lengthy step away from my mate. When I looked at the doorway, I was relieved to see my father standing there.

I sighed.

“Dad…” I said, running toward him.

He held his arms out for me, and I flew into them. If I couldn’t hug my mate, at least I could hug my father. I felt like I needed a hug after everything that’s been happening. I felt so defeated and confused.

The door of the arena opened again, and Alpha Jonathan walked inside.

“I had to follow the stench of B astien, what are you doing in the arena-?” He began to ask but then his eyes landed on me, “Oh, hello, Lila. What are you doing in the arena?”

“I came looking for my professor,” I told him, glancing at Enzo. “I wanted to show him a move I’ve been working on.”

“I’m enforcing another lockdown for this school until we know for certain who the murderer is,” Alpha Jonathan stated. “I’ll be making an announcement in a few minutes. But I came to find Alpha B astien first.”

My stomach clenched.

Another lockdown?

We’ve already missed so much school from the last lockdown.

“Oh, but first; Lila, did you get my letter?” Alpha Jonathan asked, eyeing me carefully.
