Chapter 8
Enzo’s POV
Was she about to tell me she was a Vna wolf?
No. It wasn’t possible.
Vna wolves were said to be the most powerful creatures in the universe. L might have been
talented, but she certainly wasn’t powerful.
But still, the girl was undeniably strange. But what’s most strange is how captivating she is.
L wiggled ufortably in her bed; I found myself wanting to take care of her. I adjusted her nket
to cover her entire body and fixed her pillow.
If she was really a Vna wolf, could she use her powers to manipte my wolf?
“Don’t say such cruel things about our mate,” Max whined.
“If she is our mate, it would be better if I just reject her,” I say to him in return, much to his dismay. “It’ll
be better for her too…”
I thought of my mother and how she remained in that horrid town. They were rogues, living under no
leadership. Most of them were too afraid to return to the kingdom, my mother included. My father’s
followers still lurked in ournds, even as Bastien took charge to protect the kingdom with some of the
other Alphas.
The problem was nobody was going to be as powerful as my father.
Nobody except for his offspring.
Protecting this kingdom, and protecting those my father had hurt, was up to me. Having a mate would
only be a distraction.
The innocence and vulnerability in L’s eyes after our kiss proved that I couldn’t possibly give myself
to
her. If she knew we were mates, it would only cause her disappointment. I would only break her heart.
There was a knock on her door, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Enzo? I didn’t think you’d still be here,” Bastien said. He came into the room followed by a short man
with a white trench coat. “This is the doctor. He’s just going to examine her. You don’t have to stay. I
appreciate you for keeping watch of her.”
I stared between the two of them, trying to find the words to say. I knew I should leave, but Max didn’t
want to.
I wasn’t sure I wanted to.
I nced back down at L who remained sleeping.
I couldn’t let history repeat itself.
“Just take care of her, okay?” I said to the doctor, keeping my eyes on L.
“I’ll do what I can,” the doctor said.
I turned away and began to walk out the door, I paused for a moment, standing beside Bastien.
“She didn’t deserve this,” I murmured, anger boiling in me.
“No, she didn’t…” Bastien agreed, his tone just as hard.
That was ourst word exchanged before I left.

L’s POV
“Where is Alpha Enzo now?” I asked, staring up at my father who had just told me that Enzo watched
over mest night.
“He left when the doctor arrived.”
“Did you ask him to take care of me?” I asked.
My father shook his head with a small frown.
“I told him to watch the door and to make sure no strangers enter,” he exined. “I didn’t ask him to sit
by your side. He did that on his own.”
My father turned to leave just as my face turned a dark shade of red. I was d my father didn’t see my
expression because it would have given my emotions away instantly.
He paused at the doorway though and without looking at me, he said, “Enzo is different from most of
the Alphas. He’s young, but he’s incredibly serious. He doesn’t have fun often or let himself feel normal
emotions. It’s almost like he’s holding onto something he can’t let go of…”
He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts.
“The reason I wanted him to teach at this school wasn’t that he was the best for the job, it was because
I
thought it might be good for him to be around others and do what he loves. I thought maybe he could
have a little fun and still work towards his future. He has his father’s ambitions, but he certainly isn’t his
father. I’m aiming to make sure he doesn’t end up like his father.”
“You care for him,” I said, peering up at my dad. He turned to look at me and he nodded once.
“I took his father from him,” he said, a little sadness in his tone. “I feel it’s my duty to make sure he ends
up in the right direction.”
My father left my room without another word.
I touched my lips with my fingertips, remembering how Enzo’s lips felt against mine. It was a brief kiss,
but it was my first kiss.
That wasn’t how envisioned my first kiss at all, and he certainly wasn’t whom I envisioned it with. It
upset me that I blew my chances at the perfect first kiss. Enzo wasn’t somebody who could love me
like
my dad loved my mom. Enzo was somebody who was more focused on his work than anything else.
As my father said, he’s a driven Alpha who has huge goals. He doesn’t allow himself to have normal
feelings. He’s closed off and preserved. He doesn’t smile or have fun. He’s extremely focused on his
ambitions. Though I respected that, he isn’t someone who would give his heart out to me. He isn’t
someone who could love me in the way I want.
He isn’t someone I would consider a mate.
A knock on my door dismissed the thoughts roaming around my mind.
“Come in.”
The door opened slightly, and I saw a blonde head of hair popping in, making me smile. Another
blonde head of hair, but shorter in length, popped in second.
The twins; my 14-year-old brother and sister. Corinne and Flynn.
“Mom wanted us to check on you and bring you this soup,” Corinne says, walking toward me with a
bowl of soup. It smelled like chicken noodles, my favorite.
“And I brought you some tea,” Flynn says with a mug of tea. “With a dash of milk; just how you like it.”
I smiled at both.
Flynn is training to be the next Alpha. Corinne always wanted to be a gamma. She already started
her training, and she is pretty good. Before I left for college, I would often train with her as well. She
was
a good opponent and learned quickly.
“Thank you,” I say to them.
They both crawl onto each side of my bed, tucking themselves under the covers.
“Who do you think tried to poison you?” Corinne asked.
“I’m not sure,” I lied. “Whoever they are, I’m sure they are long gone.”
“I hope so…” she said, sounding a bit worried. I wrap an arm around each of them and hug them close
to me. “It would have sucked if you died.”
This made meugh.
“Yeah… I’m d you didn’t die,” Flynn agreed, peering up at me. “I would have killed whoever did this if
you did…”
“I don’t think I would have died that easily. But let’s be thankful it didn’te to that,” I say to them.
My mom opened my door, peering at the twins with a deepened frown. Folding her arms across her
chest, she said, “I thought I told you to drop off soup and tea and then let her rest. Not crawl into bed
with her and bother her.”
Both the twins groaned as they slid out of my bed.
“Sorry mom,” they both said in unison.
Even when my mother acted stern, I could still see the humor in her eyes. In this case, she couldn’t
even
keep the smile off her face. She watched as they left my room.
“Eat up and get then get some rest,” she ordered, giving me a knowing smile.
“Yes, mom,” I said as she left my room.

2 dayster
I had to miss 2 days of sses. It was going to take forever to catch up on everything. Thankfully,
Rachel, my dormmate, was able to gather my homework and take some extra notes in our shared
sses.
As much as I loved being with my family, I couldn’t wait to get back to school. I already had my things
packed and ready to depart. It was going to take an hour to drive to Hig; I wasn’t looking forward to
that.
My father had said yesterday that I needed to be extra careful when I return to school in case the
person who poisoned me was there. They couldn’t uncover any fingerprints, there were no witnesses,
and there was no DNA that proved Scott and Sara had anything to do with this.
“I don’t feelfortable with you taking your car back. Whoever tried to poison you could have done
something to your car too. I’m going to take it apart and examine it thoroughly before you drive it.”
“How am I going to get back to school?”
“Alpha Enzo is on his way. He’s going to drive you.”
