Lila’s POV
“Lila, come to my office as well; I’d like to speak with you and Sarah together,” Headmaster Prescott said
to me, trying to be heard over the crowd of frantic students. Those affected by Sarah’s mind
manipulation were freaking out because of the time they had lost and their free will being taken. The
witches and those with abilities were frantic because they were powerless. Everybody was powerless. My
heart began to beat rapidly in my chest as I looked up at the headmaster. She didn’t think I had
anything to do with this, did she? “Am I in trouble?” I asked; I couldn’t hide the nervousness from my
tone. “No, of course not. But I’d like you to be there so I can get the full picture of this situation,” she
simply said. I met Enzo’s eyes from across the room; he was now standing and watching me with worry
in his eyes. I gave him a small smile to assure him that everything was okay and thankfully, he returned
it. “Enzo,” Headmaster Prescott said as she approached him. “Get everybody to settle down. They can
still vote to keep their minds off the situation… not that it’ll matter much anymore. But then I’d like
them to return to their dorms for the rest of the afternoon. I’m canceling evening classes. But I’ll make
an announcement, once I’m done speaking with the girls.” He nodded. “I’ll have some of the staff help
me get everything organized,” he assured me. She nodded at him, pleased by his quick response. “My
powers!” I heard someone sobbing. “My powers are gone!!!” “What happened to me!” I heard someone
else shouting. “Why did I do these mean things to people??” “Why can’t I remember anything from the
last two days!” A boy asked as I passed him. I wanted to say something to him that reassured him, but I
wasn’t sure what could make things better. My heart was squeezing painfully in my chest for them.
Headmaster Prescott was already gone and I knew I couldn’t keep her waiting any longer. Enzo was
already getting to work with the other professors to get the students to settle down. The board
members were lining students up to vote in the back room and ordering the really frantic ones back to
their dorms. I shook my head at the sight and turned away; I couldn’t watch anymore of this. When I got
to her office, I was surprised to see that Alpha Jonathan was already there. I didn’t even see him leaving
the auditorium. He was looking anything but happy. Sarah sat in the seat in front of the office door
while he towered over her. Her gaze was fixed on the ground, and it looked like he had just finished
yelling at her. The secretary who sat at the desk in the corner of the room looked pale-faced and wideeyed, confirming my suspicions. Tiffany Prescott cleared her throat, getting their attention. “Come into
my office,” she ordered them without giving them a second look as she opened her office door. Alpha
Jonathan’s gaze found mine. “What is she doing here?” He asked the headmaster as if I wasn’t standing
right there. I felt my face warming. “I asked her to join us,” she answers. “For what reason?” “I have my

reasons and I’ll explain once you are inside my office, Alpha,” she said firmly. I was surprised by how
assertive she sounded knowing that Alpha Jonathan owned this school. He didn’t argue with her, much
to my surprise. He turned away from me and stormed into the office. I glanced at Sarah who also
looked up at me; I couldn’t read her expression, but she looked pale. She visibly swallowed and stood to
her feet. She didn’t say anything to me as she turned and went into the office. I followed closely after
them. Headmaster Prescott had pulled up an extra chair and sat it in front of her desk before taking her
seat behind her desk. “Please sit,” she instructed all of us. We did as she said, only Alpha Jonathan
hesitated slightly before sitting beside his daughter who still appeared pale in the face. I’m not sure if
that was because she was sick, or because she was terrified. “I need a full explanation of what happened
today,” she said, staring directly at Sarah. She was surprised by the remark and glanced at her father
who let a growl emerge from his throat. “Do I need to call my lawyer, Headmaster?” He asked through
his teeth. She looked at him with a frown. “That won’t be necessary, Alpha,” she assured him. “I just
want to get to the bottom of things. The students are very distraught and they seem to believe that
your daughter has done something to them. I would like to know exactly what happened.” “I’ll tell you
what happened—” he began to growl, but Headmaster Prescott held up her hand, stopping his words.
“If you don’t mind, Alpha. I’d like to hear it from Sarah,” she said calmly. “I’m sure you can understand.”
He went to open his mouth again, but this time, Sarah was the one who spoke. “I’m so sorry…” she
croaked and when I looked at her, she had tears pouring out of her eyes. “It’s my fault.” “How about you
start by telling me exactly what happened, Sarah,” Headmaster Prescott said, giving her a look of
