Chapter 0423 âThis will never be your arena,â Fâ growled, keeping my tone low and threatening. âAfter what you did, youâll I be lucky if you ever see the outside world again.â âAre you threatening me, Alpha?â Xander asked with a little humor in his eyes.
I couldnât help myself; I punched him again. I already called Tiffany Prescott to the arena, waking her from her sleep. I was expecting her to show up at any moment, but until then, I wanted to have a little fun with it.
âItâs a promise,â I growled.
âyou canât prove that I did shit,â he seethed through his teeth.
âQh, really?â Ethan said, folding his arms across his chest. âSo, if we go through your things we won't find the same
\ protein mix you gave Lila? The one that contains wolfbane?â His face fell and I saw the color draining from his features.
I âThereâs a reason behind it.â I âAs much as I'd love to hear it; I donât give a shit what your reason is,â I said, a mocking laugh escaping my lips. âWhat I want to know is who the fuck you are working for and what they want.â âIâm not working for anybody,â Xander said through his tightened jaw.
â1d like to believe you, Xander... but frankly I donât,â I growled. âNow, you are going to pay for what you did and if you donât give up your leader, I will make you pay double.â Before Xander could speak another word, Tiffany Prescottâs voice sounded through the arena.
âWhat is going on here?â
) I Iturned to see her walking toward us; even this early in the morning, before sunrise, she managed to get fully dressed and appear as if she had just come out of a business meeting. I called her not long before arrived to have her meet us in the arena and it sounded as if I had just ) woken her.
She stopped in front of us, folding her arms across her chest and her attention was fully on me now.
âWhat is going on?â She asked again, tapping her foot impatiently.
âI need to take Xander into my custody,â I explained to her. âI have Alpha Bastienâs permission.â Her frown deepened.
âcan I ask why you are taking away my professor?â She asked, raising her perfectly trimmed brows.
Before I could say a word, Ethan was
stepping toward her with the reports from the researcher âYour professor has been poisoning your students with wolfsbane and we have reason to believe he was involved in the ! kidnapping of one of your students as I well,â Ethan said, his voice calm and I appreciated him for that.
Tiffany gasped as she grabbed the reports from his hands and stared at them.
âAre you sure about this?â She asked, her eyes wide as she read the reports.
â1'm sure if we were to go through this stuff, we'd find the same mix we tested in his possession,â Ethan said in return.
Tiffany glanced up at him and he gave her a wary look before glancing at Jake and nodding at him. Jake went to Xanderâs stuff that he left scattered in the corner of the arena, much like I used to do, and pulled open the bag.
âDonât touch that!â Xander growled but before he could move in Jake's direction, both Ethan and I grabbed each of his arms and held him in place. He might have been strong, but he wasnât a match for either of us.
Tiffanyâs eyes remained glued on Jake as she waited for him to uncover the mix.
Once he did, she gasped and took a step back.
âWhich students have been affected by this?â She asked, her voice small.
âAs far as we know, only Lila,â I answered. âWhich is why her father, Alpha Bastien, is also involved. Lila was found locked in an abandoned barn, caged like an animal and she told me that it was Professor Xander that had put her there.â
