“Get him out of here,”
Bastien ordered the police who began dragging Scott out of the packhouse.
He gave Sarah one last look before being shoved into the police car; she only watched as he was being taken away.
…
Lila’s POV
Scott was arrested.
It was the next morning after I spoke to Brianna and my father called Enzo to tell him that it was Scott who had vandalized the art gallery.
“Did he do this alone?”
Was the first thing I asked after a long pause. I couldn’t believe that Scott would do something so cruel as that.
Enzo nodded.
“Yes. In the camera footage, he was alone.”
“Sarah had to have put him up to that,”
I said in return, shaking my head at the very thought. “There’s no way he came up with this by himself.”
Scott had way too much to lose; he would never jeopardize his future over something stupid like this. Not unless Sarah forced him to do it.
“Sarah denied it,”
Enzo shrugged. “She claims she acted alone. Though, Scott says otherwise.”
“I knew it,”
I muttered. “It was her idea. It had to have been. I need to call my father; he can look further into this.”
“It wouldn’t matter; she wasn’t at the scene of the crime of the crime so there wouldn’t be evidence against her.”
“It’s not fair,”
I said, deepening my frown. “She can’t get away with something like that.”
“If she really is guilty, Karma will come back for her. But for right now all we know is that Scott was the one who did the deed and he’s the one getting punished.”
I suppose he was right; there wasn’t much I could do without proof. I made a mental note to speak to Scott once I returned to Elysium.
Enzo and I hadn’t really spoken since yesterday afternoon, and I wanted to ask him where we stood. Actually, I wanted to tell him that I wanted more than what we were.
“Can we talk about something?”
I asked.
“Sure.”
“I wanted to ask you where we stood…”
I began slowly. “As in—”
“I think it’s better if you stopped there,”
Enzo said quickly, meeting my eyes. “We both knew this was about the sex so there’s really nothing to discuss.”
He sounded almost cold and distant.
At the sound of his words, my heart crashed into my stomach.
Even Val recoiled at the cruelty.
Is that seriously how he felt? I might have had my suspicions, but I was hoping I was wrong. Like I was just overthinking things.
Enzo broke his eyes as he stood to his feet; I was stunned to silence.
“We can’t bring this back to Elysium and we both know this,”
he continued; it was like driving a knife into my chest.
I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out.
“There’s also the fact that you are a Volana, Lila…”
he said, lowering his tone. This time he met my eyes when he said this last part. “I can’t be with a Volana.”
Enzo’s POV
“What the hell is wrong with you!?”
Max growled as soon as we left the living room. “How could you say that to her! Go back there and fix it, you asshole!!!!”
He was furious; he had never been this furious with me before.
The look on Lila’s face I would never be able to get out of my head. I don’t know what came over me and why I chose to drive a knife into her like that. But remembering her talking to her friend on the phone about how this was only sex.
I thought that’s what she wanted anyways.
“Of course, that’s not what she wanted, jerk. She’s never going to forgive us. You should have seen how hurt her wolf was. Our mate is hurt and it’s your fault entirely. You need to fix this, Enzo.”
I knew he was right; I couldn’t just leave it like this.
I opened my room door to see if I could speak with Lila, but she wasn’t there.
Maybe this was for the best.
…
Lila’s POV
I couldn’t let this get to me.
I lay in bed with my knees pressed against my chest and tears ran down my face. This was almost as painful as being rejected.
Why did he insist on torturing me so much?
“Maybe it’s a misunderstanding?”
Val whispered; her tone was strained, and I could hear the pain she was feeling. It hurt me even more. I hated that my wolf was feeling like this.
She truly tried to see the good in our mate, but she was being proved wrong constantly and it was taking a toll on her.
“He was very clear about how he felt, Val,”
I said as more tears rolled down my face. “I don’t know what more to do…”
She was silent and I couldn’t blame her for not wanting to say anything more.
My phone buzzed and I saw that it was a notification of another sale via Cassidy-Ann’s website that I needed to invoice right away. This brought my mind back to reality because I was here to do a job.
Even if the opportunity with the Monstro Academy fell through and my mate was being a complete jerk, I was still here for Cassidy-Ann and I couldn’t let her down. I couldn’t get my feelings in my way.
As painful and difficult as it was going to be, I had to brush the thought of Enzo and everything else out of my mind and focus on my job.
It was still fairly early in the morning, but Cassidy-Ann would be expecting me at the office soon, so I needed to get dressed for the day.
I wasted no more time or thought and grabbed my clothes for the day and went straight to my bathroom to shower.
I wondered if Enzo was planning on coming with me to work today. I didn’t bother asking him; he wasn’t in the living room when I left my room, and I wasn’t going to wait around for him. I decided to just call for a cab to take me to work this morning.
“Don’t forget,”
Cassidy-Ann said an hour after I arrived. “I’m having the banquet at the art gallery tonight. I’ll need you there, obviously.”
I had completely forgotten about the banquet and when I didn’t say anything, I heard Cassidy-Ann sighing.
“At least tell me you have something to wear for tonight,”
she said, and I knew she was shaking her head without even looking at her.
There was that very formal dress that Brianna and Becca picked out that I didn’t think I’d be able to wear on this trip.
“Yes,”
