Chapter 250 Aftermath
Lila’s POV
When I got back to my dorm, Becca was already there. She was curled up on the couch and reading a
book. I quickly mindlinked Enzo to let him know I was going back to the dorm knowing that he was busy
helping the board clean up after the election and make sure students were okay. “We’ll meet up later,”
he had told me after telling me how much he loved me. He always knew what to
say to make my heart skip a beat. Becca looked up at me with worried eyes when I entered the room.
“Did you find Brody and Rachel!” She asked. “I found Brody and talked to him,” I told her. “But not
Rachel. Someone told me they saw her leaving campus with her father and Alpha Jonathan” I couldn’t
help but be worried about her. “Alpha Jonatan?” She asked, raising her brows. “Wasn’t he in a meeting
with you and Sarah?” “Yes, but this was after the meeting,” I told her. Her brows furrowed together.
“Why would he be with them?” She asked. “And what was her father doing here?” “I’m not entirely
sure,” I said honestly. “But I’m kind of worried.” “Did you try calling her?” “I left my phone here,” I told
her as I went toward my bedroom door. “I’ll try her right now.” As I walked into my familiar little room, I
felt like I could finally breathe. It was nice that I was alone after the long day that I had. All I wanted was
to curl up in bed and sleep, but I had so much to do these next few days. I had to get committee
members and plan for our very first meeting. I already knew what I wanted to talk about during this
meeting, but I needed a steady plan for the future. I also needed to make sure Rachel was okay and
maybe even speak to Scott. I couldn’t let him take repercussions about everything and allow his life to
be ruined. I shook my head at the very thought of Sarah manipulating his mind this entire time. He tried
to warn me, and I wasn’t listening to him. My heart squeezed painfully in my chest. He must be so
upset; no wonder he’s been avoiding me lately. I brought up Rachel’s number and attempted to call her,
but it went straight to voicemail. My heart fell into my stomach. I tried her again, but it went to voicemail
again. I decided to text her. “Call me when you can.” I added another text. It’s important.” I sighed and

lay on my bed, staring up at my ceiling and feeling my entire body relaxing into my bed. One thing
about this school was that they supplied very comfortable beds. They felt like clouds and my body
nearly melted into the fabric of the bed. Soon, my phone started to ring, and I grabbed it quickly,
expecting the screen to flash: Rachel. But instead, it flashed: Bri. I was happy she called, but I was
really hoping it’d be Rachel. “Hey!” I said, sitting up in bed. “What were the results?” “A lot has
happened since we talked yesterday,” I told her honestly. “Do tell; I could use the distraction.” “Well,
you know how I suspected that Sarah could manipulate minds?” I asked. She gasped. “Don’t tell me
she actually has been cheating.” Bri said, lowering her tolie like she was afraid someone could hear
her. “More than that,” I told her. “Something unexplainable happened. Witches at this school are
powerless and all spells have been canceled or something.” “Canceled?” She asked. “Yeah, like
everyone that Sarah manipulated restored their memories and gained their free will back,” I explained.
“That’s insane,” she gasped. “How did that happen?” “Nobody knows; at least not yet.” “That’s insane,”
Bri breathed. “So, what’s going to happen to Sarah?” “Get this… Headmaster Prescott grounded her.”
Brianna was quiet for a moment before she burst into giggles. “Grounded?” She chuckled. “Yeah; she
can’t go anywhere besides her classes, the dining hall for meals, the library for studying, and then her
dorm.” “Oh my goddess,” Brianna laughed. “And now you are the president of the committee?” “By
default, yes,” I answered. “A win is still a win,” she said in return. “You would have won regardless;
there’s no better president than you “Thanks, I appreciate that, I laughed. “So, how’s your mate?” She
asked and I knew she was wiggling her brows without seeing her. I frowned though. “Are you sure you
want to talk about that?” I asked. She sighed. “I don’t pind talking about it. I know things are weird
considering Alex is following you around like a dog. But I’m fine.. honestly.” “Bri… he was your mate
and he rejected you. Your wolf is still in mourning over that,” I told her softly. “It’s okay to not be okay.”
She was quiet for a long while and for a moment, I thought she was going to hang up. “I will be okay,”
she corrected herself. “Until then, I don’t mind it when my best friend talks about her mate.” I opened
my mouth to reply but then I heard the front door of the dorm opening and then shutting. I soon heard
Becca speaking and another female voice. “Bri, can I call you back later? I think Rachel just got back.” I
said quickly into the phone. “Yeah, of course. Love you!” “Love you always.” I said in return just before
clicking the end button and throwing my phone on my bed. I jumped up from my bed and ran to my
bedroom door, swinging it open. I was relieved to see that Rachel was in fact back and she was seated
on the couch with Becca. Alex, per usual, was seated at the kitchen counter and reading a book. I had
to stifle an eye roll whenever I looked at him. But I fixed my attention on Rachel who smiled pleasantly
at me. “Congrats on the big win,” she said kindly. “Where have
1/2
you been?” I found myself asking. She frowned, furrowing her brows together. “I had things to do,” she
murmured. “I was worried about you. You weren’t answering your phone. Her frown deepened. “I had it
shut off,” she shrugged. “What’s the big deal, you aren’t my mother.” “Someone told me you left
campus with your father and Alpha Jonathan, Rachel. They are both bad news.” “He’s my father, Lila,”
she said through her teeth. “I don’t need your permission to go anywhere with him.” “Don’t you
remember all the stuff he put you through growing up?” I asked, moving closer to her. “People change,”
she said, narrowing her eyes at me. “He’s changed.” “Guys like your father, don’t change,” I said
simply. “Alpha Jonathan is bad news too. I don’t trust him.” “You don’t have to trust him. I do,” she said
in return. “What did they want?” I finally asked. She was quiet for a moment and then she took a deep
breath before answering. “They are going into business together; it was a celebration lunch,” she
answered. “Business? What kind of business?” “What’s with the third degree?” She shouted, standing
to her feet. “I’m not-” “Yes, you are,” she interrupted. “I don’t ask you where you are every second of
the day. I’m not the one fucking my professor unlike you. Stay out of my business.” On that note she
turned and stormed into her room, slamming the door shut behind her and leaving Becca and me in a
shocked silence.

After two hours of tirelessly cleaning the auditorium after the rampage of students made a mess out of
the place, it was finally looking a lot better. A few other faculty members along with myself stayed
behind to help clean and gather up the remaining students who were too shocked to move. There were
a lot of students who had lost time and memories over the last few days; some had lost over a week of
memories. Then, there were the witches and those who have abilities that found themselves powerless
and freaking out over the fact that they can’t use their magic and abilities. It was mayhem but at least it
was starting to come to an end. A headache was brewing at my temples; as I leaned against the wall of
the assembly hall, I rubbed the bridge of my nose between my pointer finger and my thumb, trying to
ease some of the tension. “Are the students back in their dorms?” Headmaster Prescott asked as she
returned to the assembly hall. “I believe so,” I answered. “Some could have gone to the student lounge”
“As long as they -aren’t making a mess,” Prescott murmured, sighing. She looked exhausted. “Did you
find out what
happened?” Emily, the art professor, asked, approaching us. “It was Sarah,” Prescott answered,
shaking her head with dismay written all over her face. “She used her abilities on them to get them to
do her bidding and have them vote for her. As for why everyone is suddenly powerless, I’m unsure. But
I have my board. members looking into it as we speak.” “Will there be consequences for Sarah?” I
found myself asking. “Of course,” Prescott answered, meeting my eyes. “I grounded her.” “Grounded?”
I asked. “She should be expelled.” “Her father would never allow that,” she replied, her frown
deepened. “I did as much as I could.” “It’s bullshit.” I murmured, turning away from them. “I’m going to
get some rest. I left the building without another word, feeling waves of annoyance and fury. Sarah
nearly cost this entire election for Lila; not to mention upset all the students in the school. This was
supposed to be her second and last chance since she fucked up last year. I couldn’t help the growl that
emerged from deep in my throat. Soon, my phone was ringing, and I found myself even more annoyed.
I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and without even looking at the screen, I barked, “What?!”
“Woah..” I heard a familiar voice on the other end. “Is that any way to speak to a friend?” I froze entirely
upon hearing her voice and soon, most of my anger was descending. “Conic?”
