“No, of course not,” I answered, shuddering at the thought. “But I saw the gurney; her body was
covered in a 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’m not saying she didn’t,” Brianna said softly. “Have they looked into Alex?”
–
“He might be an as shole, 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.
“I 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,” I 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.”
“I heard that it gets better,” I told her; which was the truth.
There wire a couple of girls in the park 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.

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
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?”
cop
“Bri…can I call you back later?” I asked, keeping my eyes fixed on the cop cars. “I 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 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.
Why was Scott being arrested?
I 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 Dung it open, allowing the cold night air to chill my body.
The shadows emerged from the ground and covered my body, allowing me to blend in with the night
and hide me from any onlookers. I was sure that there were a bunch of students and faculty that were
watching.
I ran toward the direction of the parking lot; tears threatening to spill from my eyes. Enzo came into
view and as he continued walking in the direction of the police officers and Scott, he froze.

Chapter 278 Confession
He knew I was approaching; he could feel me nearby. But I didn’t stop near him; I ran past him and
toward Scott who hadn’t noticed me yet. I couldn’t see his face, only the back of his head as the
detective read him his rights and Headmaster Prescott stared down at him with such disappointment on
her face.
It hurt my heart.
Scott might have done a lot of wrong in his life, but he wasn’t capable of something like this. I knew in
my heart that he wasn’t.
“Lila!” I heard Enzo shouting as he ran after me.
Prescott turned her attention to me, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Lila, what are you doing-
“Stop, you can’t arrest him. I panted, stopping beside the cop who had his hold on Scott’s arms.
Scott turned to me and I saw this void in his eyes; it was a darkness that gave me a chill and made me
freeze. It was unrecognizable and he looked back at me like he didn’t know who I was.
“Scott here just admitted to the murder of Merida, Detective Sanchez told me, my heart fell deep into
my stomach, and I suddenly felt like I was about to be sick
I didn’t bother looking at Sanchez; my eyes remained on Seon.
“You didn’t kill anyone.” I told him, reaching my hard out to him, but he coiled away from me, making
me drop my hand to my side. “Scott…”
“We need to take him to the station, one of the officers said, opening the back waiting police car. “It’s
not safe for him to be here. He’s a dangerous criminal.”
“No, he’s not,” I said through my teeth, glaring up at the officer. “He didn’t kill anybody.”
“Lila, he confessed-” Prescott tried to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don’t care; he’s lying,” I quipped.
“Let them take him,” Enzo said from behind me; I turned to look at him through my unshed fears.
He looked stern and very mature, but I couldn’t believe what he was saying right now. Was he really
going to take their side over mine!
He kept his eyes locked on mine; unwilling to break the eye c
contact.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I know in my heart that he didn’t do this to her. He wouldn’t have..” I
said, hating that my tears were no longer hiding behind my eyes, but now spilling across my cheeks.
He opened his mouth to say something but then Scott spoke first.
“Let them takene, Scon said through his teeth, making me turn to face him. “I’m a cold-blooded killer
and I’ll do it again. I killed that girl, and I killed those ga mmas too.”
“What ga mmas?” I asked, furrowing my brows.
“There were a couple of ga mma warriors found dead in the boy’s dormitory,” Detective Sanchez
explained. “Scott confessed to killing them as well.”

Chapter 278 Confession
“It’s a lie.” I said, shaking my head. “It has to be.”
#15 Bonus
“Why would he lie about something like that?” Headmaster Prescott asked; I could tell from her voice
that she was trying to be reasonable.A growl escaped Scott as he struggled to break free from the cuffs
that bound him; he was animalistic and unlike himself. Instinctly, Enzo grabbed my arm and pulled me
toward him and away from Scott’s reach.
The officers surrounded him, trying to get him to calm down enough to get into the cop car. Detective
Sanchez just shook his head while Headmaster Prescott looked remorseful.
Just as the door of the cop car opened, I stepped out of Enzo’s hold.
“Scott, wait,” I said, rushing toward him. They all froze, and Scott looked at me; he was breathing
heavily through his nose like a bull. I stepped close to him and looked deep into his unnaturally dark
eyes.
Something was seriously there. He wasn’t himself. He wasn’t there.
I remembered that Sarah had manipulated his mind in the past, but I had never seen him like this
before.
The more I looked into his eyes, the more he seemed to have relaxed, and I saw a flash of his normal
eye color as if he was fighting against whatever was claiming stake to his mind.
I whispered in a voice that only he could hear. “What has she done to you?”
