Chapter 0359 I knew this, but he had me pinned in impossible positions, making it hard for me to move or fight back.
“I’ve heard about your combat skills | and I wanted to test you to the max. I can see how I took things a little too far. However, I see great potential in you. I'd like to work with you. I think with some proper training, with someone who isn’t afraid to hold back when it counts, will do you some good.” “Proper training?” I asked, wanting to laugh out loud. My father had trained me my entire life in combat; I was already skilled.
I didn’t say that out loud, but from the look on his face, I knew that he knew
exactly what I was thinking, “Your true potential has been locked away,” he said, peering down at me. “I want to unlock it.” “So, you want to do private lessons?” I asked, still stunned by the suggestion.
The last thing I wanted was to be alone with him, especially during combat. If Becca hadn't stopped him after he broke my arm, who knows what else he would have broken. The thought left me feeling uneasy, so I quickly brushed it from my mind.
Then again, maybe spending a little extra time with him wouldn’t be so bad. It might be easier to figure out what exactly he wants from me. Not to mention I could find proof that he got Sarah to erase and alter memories.

“Okay,” I said, meeting his eyes.
“Private training sessions it is.” Enzo’s POV Lila didn’t have to tell me something was wrong for me to know that | something was wrong. I could hear it in her voice and even though I wasn’t in the radar of her to feel her emotions, I felt a tugging at my heart.
It was taking everything I had not to go down to that school and scoop Lila into my arms. Whatever problem she was
facing, I wanted to face it with her.
I was in the car when I spoke to her, heading into the pack hospital to see my mother. She was doing much better than she was these last few weeks and she was being released this evening.
I’m escorting her back to her territory, as much as I wish she would decide to stay with me in my pack. But I knew she wanted to get back to her kind.
“You didn’t have to come all this way to bring me home,” she said with a faint smile as soon as I arrived at her room.
She was packing her things in a small suitcase.
I’m not allowing you to go alone,” I said firmly. “That’s where I put my foot down.”
She gave me another faint smile and then zipped her suitcase.
“And how is our Lila?” She asked, changing the subject and emphasizing “our.” “She’s good. She’s at school. But I'll have her back this weekend,” 1 answered.
“Will you be bringing her by to see me anytime soon?” I raised my brows.
“To the rogue territory?” I asked.

“7m sure she’d like to meet the others, and they'd probably like to meet her as well. They have heard many great things about Bastien and Selene.” “I can bring her by,” I agreed.
She’s right; Lila would like that.
“Good,” she said softly. “I wanted to give you something.” She reached inside of her bag and pulled out what looked like a light purple handkerchief. I frowned as she handed it to me.
“Open it carefully,” she instructed.
I unwrapped the handkerchief slowly, uncovering a beautiful silver band with an extremely rare pink diamond and smaller regular diamonds on both sides.
“It was mine from a long time ago.
Blaise was a lot of awful things... but he had great taste in jewelry. I keptitasa memory. A memory of a time when was happy. A time when you were born and how much love I felt and still feel.
That ring doesn’t hold bad memories to me and it was something I cherished dear to my heart.” = “It’s beautiful,” I breathed. “But why are you giving this to me?” | A smile twinkled in her eyes.
“Because I want you to give it to Lila on the day you decide to propose to her.”
