Lilaâs POV
I turned and saw that same she-wolf that was giving me an evil stare at the packhouse the morning that
Enzo marked me.
She was staring at me like I was some villain. My heart fell into my stomach as she approached.
âWhat the hell do you think you are doing?â She asked again through her teeth.
She was wearing a pair of scrubs and holding a clipboard firmly in her manicured hands. Did she work
at the hospital?
I stood to my feet, keeping my eyes locked on hers. She already didnât like me, so I knew this
conversation wasnât going to go in my favor. The best I could do was take her attack with grace and be
on my way.
âThis is why Volana cannot be trusted. You cause harm wherever you go. Itâs disgusting. Get away from
that little girl,â she hissed, her eyes showing nothing but fury.
âMegan!!â A woman cried, running through the halls with the other little girl, Kenzi, running behind her.
âMommy!â Megan cried as she stood to her feet and ran to her mother.
They finally reached one another, and the mother scooped her up into her arms and held her close.
âOh, sweetheart. What happened?â Her mother breathed.
âI was running with Kenzi and I fell,â she cried. âI hurt my arm.â
She lifted her arm to show her mom, but there was nothing there. This caused Kenzi to gasp because
she saw the blood and now thereâs nothing. I could see the complete confusion on her face as she
stared at Meganâs arm.
âOh darling,â her mother breathed, kissing her arm gently. âIâm so sorry I wasnât here.â
âYou did this, didnât you, Luna?â The she-wolf hissed, still staring directly at me. She said the word
âLunaâ like it was a bad taste on her tongue.

I narrowed my eyes at her, unsure of what she meant, but she got the motherâs attention, along with a
few others who were wandering the halls. A collection of doctors and nurses were looking in our
direction as well.
âYou used your Volana powers to cause this little girl harm,â she continued to seethe, stepping closer to
me. âIf you werenât here, things would have been fine.â
âIâm not sure I understand what you are saying, Nurse Felicity,â the mother said, peering over at the
she-wolf.
Felicity was her name.
âThis woman is our future Luna,â Felicity spat, folding her arms across her chest. âSheâs also a Volana.
We all know just how dangerous Volanas are. We heard the stories, and we know them to be true.â
I heard the murmurs from around me, everyone staring at me in horror.
âI heard it was a Volana that drove the previous Alpha crazy,â someone whispered.
âIs that really our future Luna? Sheâs so young.â
âIs she really dangerous?â
Felicity stepped closer to me, so she was only inches away.
âYou have no business being in our pack. Regardless of where you go, whether you mean to or not,
you
will always cause harm.â
I pressed my lips firmly together; I was about to say something until Megan spoke from behind her.
Looking up at her mother she said, âNo⦠the nice lady helped me, mommy. I had a big cut on my arm,
and she healed me.â
Her mom raised her brows.
âReally?â She asked, staring at her daughterâs arm once again.
âYes,â Kenzi chimed in. âI saw it too! It was nasty and I thought sheâd need stitches. I was so scared.
But
now itâs healed. It had to have been that miracle lady!â
She said that last part while looking at me, making my face become warm.
âDid she really save that little girl?â I heard someone whisper.
Just then, I heard a more manly voice emerging from the crowd.
âWhy is everyone crowding around the halls? Get back to your rooms or back to work,â a tall gentleman
said fiercely.
He must have been the chief of the hospital. Everyone began to scurry back to where they came from.
The mother of the little girls came running toward me and gave me a big hug.
âThank you,â she breathed. âThank you for helping my little girl.â
âOf course,â I said in return, hugging her back and giving her a small smile.
She pulled away and took her girls by the hand before walking back toward the room they came from. I
looked at Felicity who refused to move from her spot. However, everybody else was gone, including the
chief.
âWhat exactly do you want?â I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.
She pressed her lips together, giving me a sly grin.
âI want you to stay away from Enzo,â she hissed. âYou arenât good enough for him.â
âHeâs my mate,â I said in return, raising my brows. âIt wasnât my choice to have him as a mate. If you
want to complain about it, talk to the moon goddess.â
âThe moon goddess would have never paired you with him,â she growled, fury clear in her eyes. âYou
did something with your Volana powers to make him think you are his mate. I know how your kind
works.â
I stepped toward Felicity, folding my arms across my chest as I narrowed my eyes at her.
âI will admit that Iâm not perfect, but Iâm trying to keep control of my powers. I didnât ask for these
abilities, and I didnât ask to be mated with Enzo. Iâm not entirely sure why the moon goddess chose me
as his mate. But I do know that my mother is the Luna of one of the biggest and best packs in the world
and sheâs also a Volana. Sheâs the best Luna that I know and if I could be half the woman, she is then I
would be happy. Being a Volana does not mean I am dangerous and incapable. Your stereotypes do
not
bother me.â
âYou are such a stupid bitch,â She scoffed. âEnzo was supposed to marry me. Iâve been patiently
waiting
for him to ask me for years and then you come in and take him within seconds. Itâs pathetic that you
need powers to make him love you.â
âEven if I did use my powers to make him love me, he would never love you,â I said in return.
I didnât use my powers to make Enzo love me, but I was sick of defending myself against that
accusation.
âIâve been in this pack for years. I know this pack like itâs the back of my hand. I am the best person to
take over as Luna. What do you know about being a Luna? You are too focused on school to give a
shit
about the pack. I eat, breathe, and sleep for this pack. This pack is my entire life. While you are off at
school and living your life, leaving Enzo and his pack in the dust while you become ready to be a Luna,
I
already am ready. Iâm already here and ready to take over.â
I swallowed the hard lump that formed in my throat as I stared at her. Her words hurt me deeply and I
had to fight to keep the tears away. I wasnât going to let her see my bit of weakness.
All I could manage to say was, âIf he wanted you to be the Luna, you would be.â
