My heart was racing in my chest to the point where I thought it was going to explode from my flesh. I
got up from my bed quickly and stopped the note on the ground, not wanting to touch it.
I’m not sure why I had such an uneasy feeling about this note; how did it even get into my room?
I looked around my room, biting my bottom lip nervously.
Was Alpha Jonathan in my bedroom?
If he had given it to one of my friends to give to me, they would have texted me and let me know that
they were putting a note on my bed. Or they would have told me that Alpha Jonathan gave them a note
for me.
I knew I had to get to the student lounge and find my friends; maybe they saw Alpha Jonathan or one
of his pack members wandering around.
“Could it have been Sarah?” Val asked, sounding as worried as I felt.
“That’s also a possibility,” I agreed, trying to keep myposure as I rushed from the dorm room.
There were only a couple of girls in the living quarters. They were curled up on themunity couch
and watching Gossip Girl on one of the TVs. They only nced up in my direction as I rushed past
them.
They murmured their hellos, and I returned it with a wave before leaving the dormitory. I ran as fast as I
could to the student lounge. As soon as I entered, I saw Ba, Brody, Ka, and strangely Sarah,
sitting in our usual spot.
It was weird seeing Sarah hanging out with my friends, especially when her own friends were sitting on
the couches, they’d named their own. They were ncing in Sarah’s direction, giving her dirty looks
behind
her back.
I’m assuming they still haven’t forgiven her for messing with their minds.
Not that I could me them; it was pretty f ucked up that Sarah did that to her own friends. If they were
ever truly friends. Sarah could have manipted them into thinking they were her friends.
I never actually got the full story from Sarah.
Sarah was sitting close to Brody though so I’m assuming she was only sitting with my friends because
her mate was there.
I rushed toward them; Ba looked up at me from the book she was reading, and she gave me a
joyful smile. She fixed her bright purple sses and put her book down.
“Hey, L!” She said brightly. “When did you get back?”
“Just a little bit ago,” I said, sliding into the seat beside her. “Did any of you notice anything weirdst
night or this morning?”
They all looked at one another curiously before looking at me.

“Like what?” Brody asked.
“Like Alpha Jonathan,” I said, lowering my voice.
Sarah tensed.

“My father has been home for a couple of days,” she said, ncing at Brody briefly before looking at
me. “He hasn’t been here.”
I furrowed my brows together.
“I found a note on my bed when I got back to campus a little bit ago,” I exined. “it was a letter from
your father inviting me and my friends to a banquet.”
She raised her brows, obviously surprised.
“He never mentioned it to me,” she said, and I saw a sh of hurt in her eyes.
“Wait, did you say it was on your bed?” Ba asked, staring at me pointedly.
I nodded, looking at her.
“You didn’t put it there?” I asked.
She shook her head.
“Nobody else has been in our dorm,” she said in return.
“That’s freaky,” Kay breathed. “It was just sitting on your bed?”
“Yes,” I answered, leaning back in my seat.
I was feeling very uneasy over this.
“Where’s the note?” Brody asked, his brows knitting together.
“I dropped it in my room,” I admitted. “It’s still there.”
“A banquet, huh?” Sarah asked, stuck on that fact. “How could he not tell me about it.”
“Maybe you should call him,” Brody suggested. “He can probably exin how the note got on L’s
bed.”
“Okay,” she said, grabbing her pink dazzled phone out of her handbag. “Give me a few minutes.”
She stood and walked further away so she could talk to her father in private.
“Are we sure it wasn’t Sarah?” Ba asked, folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes
at Brody.
He scowled at her, angry and annoyed by the usation.
“If she says it wasn’t her, it wasn’t her,” Brody said through his teeth.
“Look, I know she’s your mate, but I still don’t trust her,” Ba said, rolling her eyes.

Before Brody could growl loudly and protectively at her, I spoke, stopping them both.
“Has anyone seen Rachel? It could have been her,” I said, ncing at Ba.
She frowned and shook her head.
“I haven’t seen her all morning. She said she had a lot of homework to do and was going to the library,”
she answered. “I doubt it was her.”
I still had an unsettled feeling; I made a m ental note to speak with Rachelter and find out if she was
truly okay.
A few minutester, Sarah returned and sat back down.
“Okay, so my father said that he is having a banquet for you tomorrow and he stopped by the morning.
He gave the letter to the dorm advisor,” she said; I noticed she looked a little sad. “He didn’t tell me he
was here this morning, and he didn’t tell me about the banquet.”
Brody wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.
“Maybe it slipped his mind?” Brody suggested.
“Maybe…” she muttered.
“That’s a relief,” Ba breathed, looking at me. “It was Eilleen that put it on your bed. That would
exin. it, right?”
I nodded, also feeling a bit relieved knowing that no creepy men or anyone was in my bedroom.
“I’ll talk to Eileen,” I said softly. “Thank you for calling him, Sarah.”
She nodded but said nothing.
“The letter said that I can invite my family and friends. So, I guess you guys are all invited,” I said to
them. “I’d feel a little better if others were there with me.”
“I’ll definitely be there,” Ba said with a fond smile. “Can I bring Luis?”
I raised my brows at her.
“You and Luis have gotten close, huh?” I asked, a little teasingly.
Her face grew red, but she smiled at me as she nodded, looking a little sheepish.
“Neither of us have found our mates,” she admitted. “He thinks his mate might have died. He can’t
exin it, but he can feel that she’s not around anymore.”

“What about your mate?” I asked, frowning. “Do you feel he’s still alive?”
“I’m not really sure,” she admitted. “But I really like Luis. There’s no shame in having a chosen mate,
right?”
“Of course, not,” I said, draping my arm through hers. “There’s no shame in that at all.”

“But what if you find your mate?” Kay asked.
Ba shrugged.

“Then we will figure it out I guess,” Ba said, also shrugging. “Luis agreed to wait until graduation. If I
don’t find my mate by the time I graduate, he will mark me and then it won’t matter.”
She was right; once she’s marked by another wolf, and she finds her true mate, the mate pull won’t be
as strong. She will still recognize her fated mate, but she won’t have that strong desire to be with him.
“My wolf really likes Luis too,” she continued. “I think we could be happy.”
“I’m happy if you’re happy,” I said to her, leaning my head against her shoulder.
“So, are you going to invite your professor mate?” Sarah asked, keeping her tone low and secretive.
I lifted my head off Ba’s shoulder to look at her, surprised. I hadn’t even thought about that. I guess I
could, but it might be a little weird to just invite another Alpha to this banquet. But I don’t think Enzo
would want me to go without him.
“Your father might be suspicious if I did,” I said, uncertainty clear in my voice. “I guess I should talk to
him. about it. He will be hereter today. My father and Scott’s father will be here too. They are
investigating the murder.”
“None of them think that Scott, did it?” Sarah asked, raising her brows. “Even Alpha Emmet?”
“Especially Alpha Emmet,” I said, recalling how upset Emmet has been since yesterday. “He’s
determined to prove his son’s innocence.”
“Well, if they need our help, we will be around,” Ba said, picking up her book again. “Not sure what
we can do, but we will be here.”
“I appreciate you all,” I said to them as I stood to my feet. “I’m going to talk to Eilleen. I’ll see youter.”
“Bye!” They all said at the same time.
I waved and left the student lounge. I went straight to the dormitory and saw Eilleen sitting in our
shared kitchen sipping on some tea. She looked up at me and gave me a faint smile; she looked
exhausted.
“Hello,” she said to me as I approached.
“Hey, Miss Carter,” I said to her. “I have a quick question.”
“Go on,” she said, cing her mug of tea down on the table.
“Did Alpha Jonathan give you a letter this morning?”
She thought about it for a moment; it was as if the thought was straining her. She was quiet for a long
while before answering.
“Yes…” she answered. “It’s strange because I don’t remember much about this morning. But I
remember being given a letter and cing it on your bed.”
“You don’t remember much about this morning?” I asked, raising my brows. “What do you mean?”
Chapter 289 Who Was In My Room?
She was quiet again before looking down at her mug.
“I don’t know,” she said softly. “This morning’s foggy. It’s like… I had lost time.”
