Chapter 0347 “I’ll be right by your side through it all,” I whispered to him, allowing my tears to freely fall down my features.
He held me tightly, running his fingers through my hair.
“That’s exactly where I want you,” he murmured against me. “I’m sorry for keeping all this from you.” I gazed up at him.
“I understand why you did,” I said with a fond smile. “But now you don’t have to go through any of this alone.” He leaned down and kissed me gently; his lips tasted incredibly sweet and made my heart pound violently in my
| chest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiana’s tired yawn brought me back to reality and I turned to look at her.
“We should go so you can get some rest,” I told her gently. “Thank you so much for talking with me and telling me everything. I’m so glad I was able to meet you.” She gave me a soft smile and reached for my hand; I took it without hesitation.
“I didn’t get rid of my powers because I hated them. I wasn’t ashamed of myself and where I came from. None of us were. I did it to protect my son and myself just as others did it to protect themselves and those they love. I hope you don’t think less of me because of it.”
EE “I' know exactly why you did it,” | said, lowering my tone. “I think you were incredibly brave.” We stayed like that for a moment longer before I released her hand, allowing Enzo to approach her and kiss her gently on the forehead.
“Ilove you,” he whispered to her. “I'll be back later to see you. I just want to make sure Lila gets back to school.” She nodded and watched as we left her hospital room. Enzo took my hand and pulled me alongside him. I leaned my head against his shoulder, suddenly feeling tired. But I knew I had to drive to the academy tonight, that way I could make it to my classes tomorrow.
It wasn’t a good look that I missed today, despite having permission from
the school board.
Just as we were leaving, I spotted Felicity from across the halls and an unsettled feeling grew in the pit of my stomach.
There was something about the look she was giving me that told me this wasn’t over between us.
Enzo’s POV With everything going on between Lila and my mother, I completely forgot about my talk with Felicity earlier.
That was until I spotted her at the nurse's station as we were leaving the hospital.
The memory of my talk with her surfaced in my mind; it was a strange encounter. Her eyes darkened and it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSRS 4 looked like she was in some kind of trance. I was prepared to use my Alpha command on her if she refused to apologize to Lila. But I didn’t.
However, it seemed as if she was still locked in some kind of trance that I had put her in.
She gave me a voided look just before she went into my mom’s room and knelt before Lila, offering her a sincere apology.
It was out of character for someone who wasn’t alpha-commanded.
If she was Alpha commanded, it would have made a lot more sense. My pack members can’t refuse an Alpha command. It’s often too painful for them to resist; I only use that Alpha ability when necessary.
But in this case, she did this willingly.
Looking at her now though, I'm starting to doubt her apology was a willing action.
Something else was at play and put her in a trance to obey me, without me using the Alpha command.
But what?
