“Where is my daughter?!” I heard a growl coming from the front entrance of the hospital.

Enzo stood to his feet quickly as Raymond stalked into the waiting room. As soon as he saw Enzo his
eyes darkened, and his tip lip curled up in disgust.
“How dare you not inform me that my daughter was injured when it happened,” Raymond growled.
“I had other priorities,” Enzo said, narrowing his eyes at Ray. “Like making sure she didn’t die.”
“Why am I the last to know about this?!” Raymond asked; glaring at me and then back at Enzo, making
my entire body go cold.
“Because you haven’t been in her life in a long time,” I found myself saying before I could stop myself.
Enzo quickly stepped in front of me, shielding me from Raymond’s wrath.
“What? Are you f ucking your professor you little s lut?” Raymond hissed; instantly I felt Enzo growing
angry.
“Watch yourself, Ray,” Enzo said through his teeth.
“Does the board know you’re messing around with your students?” Ray asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Where. Is. My. Daughter?”
“She’s being operated on,” Enzo said in a low and threatening tone. “You’re either going to calm
yourself down, or I’m going to have them sedate you before I kill you.”
“My daughter was fatally injured, and you want me to calm down?” Ray asked, laughing bitterly. “That’s
certainly coy of you, Alpha.”
“Ray-“I tried to say but his dagger of eyes stopped me.
“Shut the f uck up,” he hissed at me. “You’ve been a bi tch since I’ve met you. I bet if she wasn’t your
friend, this would have never happened.”
It was like a slap in the face; the force of his words made me sta gger backward as if it were a fatal
wound to my chest.
Enzo growled loudly, lunging toward him in one quick stride. The claws of his wolf burst through his
hands and gripped Ray’s collar, practically lifting him off the ground as he revealed his wolf’s canines.
Ray’s eyes widened as he stared down at Enzo who had become more Max than Enzo.
“If you ever speak to her like that again I will tear your throat out, bear,” he growled. It was obvious that
it was Max that was speaking now.
“I just want to see my daughter….” Ray said in a tone that stag gered slightly. “I didn’t mean any
disrespect.”
“Apologize to her or I’ll let my wolf do what he pleases to you.”
Ray’s eyes flickered to me.
“I’m sorry,” he said breathlessly.

I nodded at him; I knew he was just upset because his daughter was in the hospital. But then again, he
abused her for years when she was only a child. I doubted that he cared this much about her now.
I still wasn’t sure what he wanted from her, but I knew it couldn’t have been good.
Enzo lowered him to the ground and released his hold on his shirt. I stepped beside Enzo so I could get
a better look at Ray and meet his eyes.
“You are welcome to stay with us until she’s out of surgery,” I told him gently. “I’m sure she would like to
see you once she’s out.”
He looked hesitant, but he nodded..
“Who did this to her?” He asked, adjusting his shirt.
“They didn’t tell you anything?” Enzo asked, raising his brows.
“No,” Ray muttered, taking a seat in one of the empty chairs. “They just told me that she was stabbed
and to get to the hospital.”
Enzo sat down in a chair as well; I was too wound up to sit with them, so I remained standing.
“It was the vampire dorm advisor, Roderick,” Enzo explained.
Ray narrowed his eyes.
“What? Why would he stab my little girl?” Ray asked, his voice breaking slightly.
Enzo glanced up at me but I kept my eyes locked on Raymond. I really didn’t trust him, and Val’s
reaction toward him made me trust him even less.
“We aren’t sure,” Enzo said, glancing back at him. “But you’ve been spending a lot of time with her
lately. Has she ever mentioned anything about a vampire?”
“No,” Ray said, shaking his head quickly. “She’s never mentioned even knowing a vampire. I knew they
went to this school, but I thought they kept to themselves.”
“Usually, yes,” Enzo answered, nodding his head slowly. “But she was outside the dormitory for a
reason. I doubt Roderick lured her there.”
“She never mentioned anything,” Ray said, staring down at his hands. “Was the wound bad?”
“Bad enough where she needs surgery,” I muttered.
Ray was silent, but he nodded once. His face was filled with remorse and it was incredibly grim.
“Who called you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
“Your father,” he said, glaring at me.
Val growled at his forceful voice, and I had to take a deep breath to calm her. Before any more words
were exchanged, I heard footsteps coming from nearby, turning our attention to the doctor who
appeared before us.
“I’m looking for the parent or family member of Rachel Cornelia,” the doctor said, staring between all of
us.
“I’m her father,” Raymond was quick to say, standing to his fect.
“But we are all her family,” I said firmly, glaring at Ray and then back at the doctor. “Plus, my father is
the head of the Alpha Committee. Anything you need to say, you can speak freely.”
The doctor looked hesitant for a moment; he glanced at Raymon as if asking permission, which pi ssed
Val and me off.
After a brief moment, Ray finally nodded at the doctor and he seemed to have relaxed.
“Okay; well, Rachel is out of surgery, and she did very well,” he said, a light smile on his lips. “She’s still
sleeping, and it will take her a little bit to recover. But her vitals are good, and we think she’s going to
make a full recovery.”
I felt like I could finally breathe, I nearly fell over but thankfully, Enzo caught me.
“Thank you, doctor,” Raymond said, shaking his hand firmly. “Can we see her?”
“For right now, I’ll allow only one visitor. She’s in the recovery chamber and we try to minimize visitors
in that unit,” the doctor said to him.
Ray looked like he was about to step toward the doctor, but then he paused and looked at Enzo and
then at me.
I gave him a small nod.
“Go ahead,” I said, motioning for him to follow the doctor.
He gave me a grateful smile before leaving with the doctor to see Rachel.
Not before long, Becca returned to the waiting room. She looked as if she’d been crying as she shoved
her phone into her arm bag. She wiped her face with the back of her sleeve before joining us.
“She’s going to be okay,” I said quickly before she reached us.
She paused and looked at me through her tear-filled eyes.
“What?!” She gasped. “She’s out of surgery?”
“Yes,” I said, giving her a bright smile. “The doctor just came and told us. She’s going to be okay!”
“Oh, my goddess!” Becca breathed as she rushed toward me, wrapping her arms around me. We both
laughed through our tears as Enzo watched.
“Can we go see her?” Becca asked, pulling away from me and wiping away her tears.
“They are only letting one visitor in at a time,” Enzo explained before I could say anything. “Right now,
her
father is going to see her.”
“Oh, right. I saw him marching inside. He didn’t look happy,” she said, looking at me.
“He’s not,” I said in return. “But Enzo calmed him down.”
“Max calmed him down,” Enzo corrected.
I smiled at him and rubbed the top of Enzo’s head as if he were rubbing his wolf.
“And he did well,” I said teasingly.

“I’m so relieved,” Becca said, and I could see the color returning to her face.
I turned to face Enzo wanting to melt back into his arms; as if he could read my mind, he wrapped me
in his arms and nuzzled his face in my hair, kissing me gently. I smiled up at him, so pleased that he
was with me right now.
He bent down and kissed me gently; I closed my eyes, basking in the incredible scent and feeling of my
mate. It was a feeling I never wanted to end; a feeling I was never truly prepared for.
He ran his fingers down my spine, sending chills throughout my body. But it was the good kind of chills;
the kind that formed happy goosebumps across my flesh and made me crave his touch even more.
Becca cleared her throat, reminding us that we were still in public.
“I don’t think I want to return to the campus,” she said, holding her body as if she was afraid she’d fall
apart. “I feel uneasy.”
“I agree,” I said, glancing at Enzo. “We are still in lockdown until the end of the week. Will they let us
stay off campus?”
“I’m sure your father can pull some strings,” Enzo said, nodding. “You can stay at my packhouse.” He
then glanced at Becca who still looked uneasy. “You can both stay at my packhouse.”
“Thank you, Alpha,” she said, giving him a faint smile.
We were interrupted by the sound of Enzo’s phone ringing; he pulled away from me, leaving me cold
and lonely, to answer the call.
“Yes, Alpha Ba stien?” He asked; my eyes widened at the mention of my father’s name.
He paused while my father spoke, but he didn’t look pleased. The longer the silence, the more upset
Enzo was looking. Worry built in my stomach as I stared at my mate.
Becca stepped closer to me, also worried.
“Okay, I’ll let them know. Also, I’m bringing Lila to my packhouse for safety reasons. Can you speak to
the headmaster about it?”
There was another silence before Enzo nodded, even though my father couldn’t see him.
“Okay, I’ll let them know. Thank you, Alpha.”
He hung up and looked over at me.
“He said he’s going to speak to the headmaster; he said to gather the rest of your friends too. He’s
worried- those close to Rachel might be in trouble. If she was stabbed, there’s no telling what else
could happen and to whom.
I nodded, but my eyes remained on him.
“What else did he say?” I said, knowing my mate very well.
He was hesitant for a moment but then he met my eyes.
“He said that evidence isn’t looking good in Rod’s favor,” he said slowly. “However, Scott is going to be
released from jail.”
“What?” I gasped. “Today?”
He nodded, keeping his eyes on mine.
“He’s coming to the packhouse as well,” Enzo continued. “Bas tien said that Scott remembered
something. But he won’t talk until everybody is together. Specifically, you, Lila.”
