Chapter 301 Sarah Is Dying

Lila’s POV

I stared at Alpha Jonathan with shock. Everybody in the room was silent and Sarah looked like she was

about to cry. She wrapped her arms around her body like she was trying to hold herself together.

I heard a low growl coming from Brody and I knew he was close to shifting. His wolf was not happy.

“What do you mean she will die?” Brody asked through his teeth.

Alpha Jonathan glanced at him briefly before looking at my father.

“My daughter has been cursed by this bi tch of a witch when she was born. Every time she uses her

powers, she gets weaker. Soon, it will be the cause of her death,” Jonathan explained as casually as if

he was ordering a meal.

I thought about all those times I saw Sarah in pain and almost passing out. I had no idea it was

because of her powers. I looked at her, wanting her to meet my eyes, but she wouldn’t.

How could she not tell me she was dying?

How could she not tell Brody?

“Sarah…” Brody breathed, his eyes glowing red as his wolf fought to take control.

If Brody lost control and allowed his wolf to take over, I know hell would break loose. I looked up at

Enzo who gave me a shared look. He knew exactly what I was thinking and gave me a head nod as he

approached Brody.

The closer Enzo got; the angrier Brody became.

“Sarah, tell me the truth,” Brody growled.

“Why does this nobody wolf care so much about my daughter?” Jonathan asked, raising his right brow

at Brody.

“Because he’s her…” I began to say but Sarah’s words stopped me.

“Dad, can we just go?” Sarah said sharply; it was obvious she was holding back tears.

“You can’t just leave, Sarah,” Brody argued.

He was so fixed on Sarah that he no longer noticed Enzo who was still approaching him cautiously like

he was a wild beast. Technically he was!

She finally looked at Brody.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you…” she whispered. “But it’s true. I don’t have much longer to live. Unless

my father can find a cure.”

“I have the best doctors doing what they can,” Jonathan stated simply. “I’m not going to let her die.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t tell me about this, Alpha,” my father said, narrowing his eyes at Jonathan.

“You’d think the leader of the Alpha committee would know such a detail.”

“This is family business,” Jonathan replied. “It has nothing to do with you or your committee.”

“A committee that you are a part of.”

“A committee that should be mine,” Jonathan quipped. “I am far richer and more powerful than any of

those fools, especially you.”

My father let out a low laugh and shook his head in disbelief.

“Do you want to eat your words?” My father asked, stepping closer to him.

I was worried they were about to fight so I ran toward my father, putting myself in between them.

“Fighting is not the answer,” I argued. “Sarah is dying, and we need to figure out how to save her. This

is only stressing her out.”

“Let go of me!!!” Brody’s words cut through the room, taking our attention away and fixing it on him.

Enzo had his arms strongly around Brody and locked him in an Alpha hold. One of the strongest holds

that work on any wolf, even if they aren’t part of his pack. Brody struggled against him, but Enzo

managed to get him to the ground.

I could feel Brody’s anger; his wolf struggled to break loose from Brody’s body. A loud growl erupted in

the room, shaking both Sarah and me. But my father and Jonathan, as Alpha’s, were unphased.

“Fight it, Brody,” Enzo ordered shoving him harder into the hardwood floor. “Fight your wolf. Take back

control.”

Brody’s breathing quickened and I could see the fury on his face. His wolf’s canines snapped multiple

times before they finally dispersed back into Brody’s body and left his normal teeth in their place.

His breathing finally slowed, though I could hear his panting through his nose. His eyes were no longer

glowing red, but back to their normal blues.

I sighed, relieved that Brody was returning to normal as I looked up at Alpha Jonathan.

“What is your plan to save her life?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“It’s not your business,” he spat.

Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed Sarah by the wrist. She made a distressed and painful

sound, which made Brody growl again. Thankfully, Enzo still had his hold on him.

“Let’s go,” Jonathan ordered her as he pulled her along with him.

My father, who was now standing in front of the door with his arms crossed, stared at him for a long

while, a deep frown placed on his face.

“You can’t keep me here, Alpha,” Jonathan seethed, staring back at him.

After what felt like an eternity, my father finally stepped aside, allowing them to pass.

Chapter 301 Sarah Is Dying

Once they were gone, Enzo finally released Brody who was laying limp on the ground, staring at the

door.

Tears pooled in my eyes, and I rushed to him, touching his back gently. Enzo tensed when I made

contact- with Brody, but I ignored him. Brody needed me right now; I could feel his pain.

“It’s going to be okay,” I whispered to him. “We will figure this out.”.

He finally lifted his head and looked at me; I saw tears pooling in his eyes.

“She can’t die, Lila…” he whispered h oar sely.

“And she won’t,” I said firmly, and way more confidently than I felt. “We won’t let her die.”

He nodded as he sat up, leaning against the wall with his legs arched and his arms resting across his

knees. He looked so defeated; my heart hurt for him.

I sat beside him, leaning my head against his shoulder.

“She’s not going to die…” I repeated.

“What’s going on?” I heard Becca coming in from the doorway with Luis and Kayla close behind her.

They were no longer crying, but they looked frightened.

“We just saw Alpha Jonathan yanking Sarah out of here. What happened?” Kayla asked, breathlessly.

“Sarah is dying,” I said the words as smoothly as I could, but they hurt me more than anything to say.

“But we are going to fix it and save her,” I made sure to add quickly.

“What do you mean she’s dying?” Becca asked, sitting on the other side of Brody. “What happened?”

“It’s her abilities,” I explained, looking between all of them. “She was cursed as an infant… every time

she uses her powers, she gets weaker. Soon, it will be the cause of her death.”

Becca gasped at my words; Kay looked pale, and Luis just looked sad.

“How could a witch curse an infant?” Brody asked his voice h o rse and unfamiliar sounding.

“That’s what I’m about to find out,” my father said through his teeth. It was then that I realized just how

pis sed he looked. “I don’t think Alpha Jonathan is telling us the whole story.”

“What are you going to do?” I asked, eyeing him carefully.

He turned away and started toward the door.

“I’ll be returning to the Nova pack for a few days,” he said in a low voice. “I need to do some research

and I need my people around.”

“Keep me updated, Alpha,” Enzo/said, staring after my father.

“I will,” my father said in return.

On that note, he was gone.

None of us felt like eating after that.

Which was such a shame because Dee prepared such an incredible meal.

As we sat around the table, staring at all the food that the packhouse maids laid out, Dee stared at all

our sunken faces with a frown.

“You still need to eat,” she reminded us. “Strong Alphas and Lunas need food.”

“I’m not a Luna,” Becca said, glancing briefly at Luis and then back at Dee, timidly.

“Nor am I,” Kay said, giving Becca a small and reassuring smile.

“But you are ladies, are you not?” Dee asked, a twi nkle of love and admiration in her eyes. “Lady’s

also need to eat.”

“I can’t…” Brody said, quickly standing to his feet. “I need to speak with Sarah.”

“You can’t right now,” I said, eyeing him carefully and worried that he would lose control again.

He met my eyes and I saw the struggle he was facing; it tore a hole in my heart.

“Then I guess I’ll go to bed,” he muttered. He glanced at Dee and bowed his head slightly. “Thank you

for the food, Miss Dee. I’m sorry I can’t eat it right now.”

He turned and left the room.

I looked at Enzo who was staring down at his plate with a frown; this certainly was not how I wanted

this evening to go. I felt sick to my stomach.

I heard the familiar chiming of my phone in my pocket, drawing everybody’s attention to me. I might as

well answer it considering nobody was eating.

When I looked at my screen, I frowned at the unfamiliar number.

Furrowing my brows and answered it.

“Hello?”

“Lila? It’s Raymond,” said Rachel’s father on the other end, making my heart drop.

“Hey,” I said, lowering my tone. “How are you? How’s Rachel?”

“She’s fine,” he answered much to my relief, but his tone sounded indifferent. “Actually, she’s more than

fine, She’s awake.”

“What?!” I gasped, making Enzo stand protectively and rush to my side. “She’s awake,” I said loud

enough. for everyone to hear.

Becca jumped to her feet with a large smile; the first time she truly smiled all night. The others had

shocked faces, which probably matched my own.

“Yes,” Raymond continued, still sounding strange. “But she would like to speak with you…” he

continued. “Right away.”
