Enzo’s POV

It was a long drive back to the jail; most of the drive was silent which was to be expected. Alpha Emmet
was upset about his son being falsely accused of something he didn’t do.
Murder.
The problem was that Scott confessed to the crime. But it’s come to our realization that he was given
false memories from someone else at this school.
Alpha B astien mindlinked me a few minutes ago to tell me that he was heading to the school in a few
minutes to find out what students have abilities other than Sarah and who could have committed that
horrific crime and framed Scott for it.
I was going to go to the school with Emmet later to help him with that investigation, but for right now,
Scott really needed to see his son. I couldn’t blame him; if I had a son, I would stop at nothing to see
him if he was put in this position.
“Keep an eye on Emmet. I’m worried he will do something st upid if given the chance,” Ba stien said
through our mindlink.
I glanced over at Emmet who was staring out the window; there was a void in his eyes, and he looked
drained. It was obvious that he hadn’t slept a wink last night; not that I could blame him. But Alpha Bas
tien was right; under his m ental capacity, he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be making any
decisions and he needed to be monitored closely.
“I will,” I assured him. “We won’t be long. I don’t want Lila at that school alone for long.”
“Ga mma Alex is still there,” Ba stien reminded me, making me roll my eyes and clutch the steering
wheel tightly.
“I don’t trust him,” I said in return, trying not to make any sounds of distress and alerting Alpha Emmet
that I was mindlinking.
“He’s good at his job,” B astien assured me. “He might be an a sshole, but he follows orders, and he
won’t let us down. He will keep her safe until you get there.”
I said nothing more as I disconnected the mindlink. I really couldn’t stand Alex and I knew Lila couldn’t
either. He couldn’t be trusted, even if he was good at his job.
As soon as I parked the car in the front parking lot of the station, Emmet was quickly getting out of the
car and rushing toward the front door. I quickly followed after him, trying to get him to slow down.
“They aren’t going to let you in if you approach them with aggression,” I scolded.
“I need to see my son,” he muttered, pulling open the doors and storming inside the waiting room.

“Let me in to see my son,” Emmet said through his teeth.
“You know I can’t do that,” the dispatcher said, sighing and shaking his head. “I’m sorry, but—”

“Sony isn’t good enough,” Emmet growled. “I need to see him. It’s right to keep a father from seeing his
child.”
I stepped beside Emmet, placing a hand on his shoulder to steady him. When Emmet relaxed slightly, I
looked at the dispatcher who met my eyes.
“Look, he’s right. This is his son; he deserves to be able to talk to him,” I said calmly.
The dispatcher’s face softened.
“It’s not up to me, Alpha Enzo,” he said, glancing at Emmet. “It’s Alpha Jonathan’s orders.”
I nodded in understanding.
“I will get a hold of him then. Thank you. I know you are just doing your job,” I said simply.
The dispatcher relaxed in his seat and gave me a tired smile with a head nod.
Emmet was murmuring some profanities under his breath as he turned away to sit down. I pulled my
cell phone out and called Alpha Jonathan right away.
He answered on the 4(th) ring.
“Alpha Enzo; what honor do I have for this phone call?”
“I need a favor and only you can do this,” I said firmly, stepping out of earshot so Emmet wouldn’t
listen, but I knew he still would.
“And what favor would that be?” Jonathan asked with curiosity in his tone.”You’ll let Alpha Emmet see
his son,” I said simply.
There was a moment of pause on the other end.
“And why would I do that?” Jonathan asked, sounding annoyed by my request.
“Because it’s his son, Alpha,” I said in return. “He has a right to speak to his son.”
“His son is a murderer,” Alpha Jonathan said through his teeth; I could feel his growing anger from
through the phone.
“Even so, that’s still his son,” I said in return. “How would you feel if it were your daughter?”
“It’s not my daughter-”
“But if it was and you weren’t able to see her,” I said, cutting off his words. “You wouldn’t like that very
much, would you?”
He was quiet for a moment.
“No, I wouldn’t,” he said in return. “B astien seems to think that the boy is innocent and delayed his

transport to the prison. You wouldn’t happen to know what that’s about, would you?”
“We think he was manipulated into confessing.” I explained.
“What are you getting at?” Jonathan seethed and I knew exactly what he was thinking.
“We don’t think it was your daughter, so calm down,” I said to him.
“Then, who do you think it is? Her ability is rare and nobody at that school has it.”
“We don’t know that for sure; we are investigating.” I told him.
“Not without me you aren’t. It’s my school; I need to be a part of any investigations,” he growled.

“B astien is in charge of the committee which means he’s the one in charge of this investigation. But
seeing it is your school I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you helped him. He’ll be at the school later today.
You can meet him there; Emmet and I will be joining him as well.”
“Do we need my officers and warriors?” Jonathan asked.
“No, not yet,” I answered. “For right now it’s just going to be us. But that’s not why I’m calling you,
Alpha. I need your permission to allow Alpha Emmet in to see his son. The dispatcher refuses to let
him pass. It’s his son; he deserves the chance to speak to him.”
There was silence on the other end; the silence became so loud that I thought that he hung up for a
moment. But then he spoke in a low and seemingly annoyed tone.
“Put the dispatcher on the phone.”
I sighed, relieved, as I went to the dispatcher. He sat on his desk behind an unbreakable class, peering

“He wants to speak with you,” I said; he looked surprised, but he nodded and opened the metal box for
me to place my phone inside.
Once he had my phone, he began talking to Alpha Jonathan. Or more that Alpha Jonathan was talking
to him, and the dispatcher made a bunch of agreeing sounds.”
Then the dispatcher finally said, “Okay, sounds good.”
He hung up the phone and placed it back in the metal box so I could take it back.
“He has 10 minutes to speak to his son,” the dispatcher said to me.
Emmet quickly stood to his feet, his face appearing shocked.
I gave him a nod and he gave me a relieved and faint smile.

I sat on my bed, staring at the envelope that was in my hands. There wasn’t a stamp or any other
words on the front of the envelope other than my name. It was written in handwriting that I didn’t

Somebody came into my room and placed this on my bed.

My first assumption was either Rachel or Becca, but for some reason, neither of those options seemed
right to me.
I took a steady deep breath and opened the envelope, uncovering a thick off-white paper.
It was a handwritten note.
My heart fell into my stomach when I scanned the letter and saw who it was from.

great things with the student committee, and I know you are going to take this school far. On behalf of
