NovelAppChapter 0412 i Lila’s POV I spun around quickly to see Professor Xander standing over me with a deep frown. He was shirtless and he was now wearing a pair of jeans as opposed to the combat pants he wore before his shower. He had beads of water still dripping down his neck and across his tattooed torso.
I still held onto his notebook, but my eyes never left his.
“I asked you a question,” he said through his teeth. “Can I help you with something?” “Uh...” I stammered lamely. “No...” “Then why... might I ask... are you
reading my notebook?” [ finally pulled my gaze from his and looked down at the notebook, closing it before I was able to read anything more. I had no excuses for him, I was caught red-handed, and I was completely mortified.
Before I could say anything, he grabbed the notebook from my hand and ripped it away. My hands fell to my lap and my gaze remained on the ground, ashamed to even look at him.
“Have you been taught no manners?” He growled.
I'said nothing, which only seemed to piss him off that much more.
Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed hold of my ponytail and

“Have you been drinking the protein shake I've given you?” He asked through his teeth.
I nodded my head once, which was a complete lie, but he didn’t need to know that.
“You’re lying.” Shit.
“I...” I tried to say, but he gripped my hair even tighter and yanked my head again. Pain shot through my spine at the quick motion.
“I'don’t need your excuses,” he hissed “You're a little shit who will get
yourself killed by being so stupid. You had no idea I was even behind you, and it’s shit like that that’ll be the death of you. Have I taught you nothing?” I tried to speak but the way he was gripping my hair made it impossible for me to think of much of anything else.
“You need to learn your lesson,” he hissed. “You need to learn what'll happen to a little shit that doesn’t pay attention to surrounding areas and gets caught red-handed.” He finally released me, and I found myself falling backward on the ground.
My breathing was shaky to match my rapid heartbeat and all I could think was, “What’s he going to do to me?” I'hated how trembly my body had
become; I hated how weak I appeared.
Tears prickled the corners of my eyes; I wished Enzo was in range so I could mindlink him. I had a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach that something terrible was about to happen.
He was rummaging in his bag until he came across what he was looking for and then he turned back to me. He gave me a humorless smile as he knelt in front of me; he was inches from my face, and I could smell his disgusting breath hitting my features. Despite his breath being hot, it sent a cold chill down my spine and my body trembled once again.
“You need to learn how to escape the impossible once you get caught, because with your stupidity... you will

Before I could ask what, he meant by that, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and soon it was like my entire body had gone on fire. I screamed out in agony, feeling the fiery embers coursing through my veins.
He clamped a hand over my mouth, muffling my screams and holding me in place as I squirmed in pure agony.
Tears ran down my face and my vision started to become blurry.
Specks of darkness clouded my eyes as I struggled to figure out what was going on and what he shot me with.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fighting it will only make it worse,” he hissed in my ear, though he sounded so distant, “Take it in...
embrace it... own it,”
Take it in. Embrace it. Own it His final words and the only thing stuck in my mind as everything finally went black.
Enzo’s POV “Are you out of your mind?! You're holding a dark witch in contempt??” Alpha Joseph sneered, slamming his hands on the table.
We sat in the meeting house in Elysium with the other members of the committee around a long table. Alpha Bastien, of course, sat at the head, and I sat beside him.
We had just finished explaining what had happened in the Calypso pack containing Paul and about my mother's village, Needless to say, they
are reacting how I expected them to react.
“We have safety measures in place,” Bastien explained. “Nobody is in danger.” “As long as that witch is in the wolf territory, we are all in danger,” Alpha Joseph said through his teeth.
“Bringing her anywhere near our kind was a mistake.” “Witches are not our enemy,” Bastien said to him, narrowing his eyes.
“She’s a dark witch!” “He’s right; dark witches are no friend of ours,” Alpha Henry said, shaking his head. “Having her in your pack is a mistake, Alpha Enzo.”
