Chapter 467: Chapter 522

Chapter 0522 Lila’s POV “Did you see the body?” Brianna asked, curiously and also sounding horrified at the same time.

“No, of course not,” I answered, shuddering at the thought. “But I saw the gurney; her body was covered ina sheet.” “I bet it was gruesome.” “Bri!” I scolded.

“What?! I’m just saying that her heart was ripped out and she was drained of blood. It sounds gross.” “I'm aware of that, Bri,” I said, rolling my eyes. “But she was a person like you and me. She deserved better than that.” I felt drained and sad thinking about poor Merida.

I “I’m not saying she didn’t,” Brianna said

softly. “Have they looked into Alex?” ‘He might be an asshole, but I don’t think he’d kill someone,” I told her, shaking my head. “At least not like that.” “I thought I knew him too,” she murmured. “But he ended up being a fake.” “How are you doing by the way?” I sat curled up on Enzo’s couch, clutching the phone tightly in my hand and close to my ear. I called Brianna shortly after Enzo had left. It was now nightfall and Enzo left when Headmaster Prescott called him.

«] can finally get out of bed,” she said softly. “It doesn’t hurt as bad. My wolf is still sleeping though.” “I'm so sorry,” 1 said to her, feeling my heart hurting for her. I couldn’t even imagine what she must have been going through.

“It’s not your fault,” she said a little bit lighter. “I also don’t want you to feel bad that Alex is your bodyguard.” “If I had a choice—" “I know,” she assured me, stopping my words suddenly. “Trust me, I get it.” “Have you been eating?” “Here and there,” she admitted. “My mother is practically forcing food down my throat.” “] heard that it gets better,” I told her; which was the truth.

There were a couple of girls in the pack who were rejected by their mates and though it was difficult at first, over time things seemed to have gotten better for them. I hoped with all my heart that things would get better for Brianna.

“Thanks, Lila,” she said kindly.

I wanted to say something more to her,

but the loud sounds of a police siren stopped me. My entire body froze as the blue lights of the cop car shined brightly in the night air. I quickly stood my feet with a pounding heart.

Enzo had a faint view of the parking lot from his house and when I looked out the window, I saw the cop cars pulling into view.

I furrowed my brows together, completely forgetting that I was on the phone with Brianna.

“Lila?” She said for the third time.

“What's going on? Is that a cop?” “Bri...can I call you back later?” I asked, keeping my eyes fixed on the cop cars. 1 think something is about to happen.” “yeah, keep me updated,” she said just before I hung up the phone.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I tried to see what was happening. With my

Volana abilities, it was easy to see in the night, but those bright siren lights made it difficult.

I imagined the lights on the sirens dimming and adjusting to benefit my sight instead of working against my sight. I felt my wolf illuminating her powers as those lights dimmed and my vision cleared.

I was able to see a couple of cops standing outside their cars as Detective Sanchez walked across the parking lot with Headmaster Prescott walking behind him. She looked grim and I couldn’t tell the expression she had on her face other than that.

Continuing to watch them, I saw the two officers that were with the detective, walking a distance behind them. They were each holding the arms of someone that I couldn’t see clearly because the officers were blocking him from sight.

My first thought was, “Is it Enzo?” And

I that thought alone made it difficult to breathe.

But then Enzo came into view, and he was walking behind them; his expression was hard. I didn’t like seeing him like that. Val wanted so desperately to go to our mate and comfort him, but I knew we couldn’t do that. Not yet anyway.

When they reached the cop car, one of the newly arrived officers began speaking to the person I couldn't see. The officer had a pair of silver cuffs in his hands and motioned for the two officers to turn the person around.

As soon as they spun him around and started to cuff him, I saw his face clearly.

My heart fell deep into my stomach, and I thought I was going to get sick at any moment.

It was Scott.

I Why was Scott being arrested?

1 felt a wave of dizziness wash over me and I found myself unable to stop my feet from moving in their direction. I ran toward the door and flung it open, allowing the cold night air to chill my body.
