HappyNovelChapter 0519 Lila’s POV “I was with my mother,” I told him quickly, which wasn’t a lie. I was with my mother and a few others, including Enzo, doing the protection ritual and summoning the guardian of the earth.
But I wasn’t going to say that to the detective and Headmaster Prescott.
“With your mother?” He asked, raising his brows.
I nodded my head, leaning back in my seat.
“yes, sir,” 1 answered as confidently as I could. “I was with my mother. She was in town visiting and we enjoyed the day together.” «Lila’s mother is a very powerful Luna for the Nova pack in Elysium,” Headmaster Prescott explained to him.

He’s very close allies with your Alpha as well, detective.” Detective Sanchez tensed at the mention of his Alpha, whom I’m assuming was Alpha Jonathan. Most of the authorities and emergency services in Higala were from the Crescent Moon pack, which was Alpha Jonathan and Sarah’s pack.
“I see,” he said, clearing his throat.
“Then I suppose that checks out.” “If I need to call my mother, I would be happy to do so, Detective,” I said, giving him a coy smile.
“phat won't be necessary, Miss Lila. I appreciate your time. That's all the questions I have for you.” I nodded and stood to my feet.
“Gamma Alexander, would you please
escort Lila back to her dorm?” Headmaster Prescott asked kindly.
I had almost forgotten that Alex was standing nearby; he was so quiet during all that questioning. I'm glad he didn’t scoff at my obvious lies or make any grunting sounds to show his disbelief and annoyance at my answers.
“Yes mam,” he said politely. “Should I return here once I’m done?” “I’11 let you know the next student to escort here once we discuss it,” Headmaster Prescott informed him.
He nodded and turned toward the doorway; this time, he walked first and trailed after him.
Once we were outside, I noticed he was walking in the direction of the dorms.
“I have to go back to Enzo,” I told him.
“I’m not getting in trouble for you,” he muttered. “If you want to go back there,

“Fine,” I muttered and then I walked further away until I reached the faculty housing.
If I was spotted on my way back, nobody made it known. But as soon as I got to Enzo’s house, the door swung open, and Enzo stood before me with a look of sincerity and worry. He looked very pleased to see me, but he also looked distressed and worried.
He sighed relief when he saw that I was unharmed and smiling up at him. I flew myself into his arms and he pulled me into his house, closing the door behind us.
“How was it?” He asked, kissing down my temples and across my cheekbones.
“Intense,” T admitted. “He was asking me how close I was to Merida and how she was as a student. I didn’t really know how to answer him. I wasn’t that close to Merida... but everything I said made it look like I was purposely shunning her.” “If he knew anything about you, he'd know you'd never shun anyone,” Enzo said, peering down at me. “You are the most compassionate, caring, and loving person I know.” I smiled up at him, standing on my toes and kissing him gently.
“1 Jove you,” I said to him.
“And I love you,” he said in return, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me toward his chest.
His kisses trailed down the nape of my neck and across my shoulders. I closed my eyes, soaking him in and basking in his incredible scent. My heart was thudding rapidly against my chest to the
point where I thought it was going to explode from my chest.
