I furrowed my brows in confusion.
“What could happen after?” I asked. “They will want to know how we found out? As if Dimitri would want to explain that to them. They don’t have to know how we found out. We can just…”
“It’s not about that, Maddie,” Ellie interrupted me. “It’s about you. Dimitri doesn’t want to risk you getting hurt. You saw what happened yesterday. You still don’t know what you can do. You didn’t even know you were using your powers to take away Dimitri’s anger. You could expose yourself accidentally while trying to read their minds. You could get hurt doing it. It’s not worth it, Maddie.”
I took a deep breath and released it slowly.
“I can practice here,” I said. “No one would find out.”
Ellie raised an eyebrow at me.
“What if you lose control over it?” she asked. “What if you can control the emotions of a large group of people? What if your powers got out of control and you did something that every single one of them would notice?”
I tightened my jaw and gulped.
“It’s not worth it, Maddie,” Ellie added, shaking her head at me. “Dimitri will find another way to figure it all out.”
I forced myself to take a deep breath. What Ellie was saying made sense, but I was still convinced that they were too careful. I was sure that nothing bad would happen. I was sure that I would be able to figure it out and everything would end.
“What if the traitor isn’t even here?” Ellie asked, making me furrow my brows.
“Alpha Alistair said…,” I spoke, but she interrupted me again.
“He has no proof, Mads,” Ellie sighed, shaking her head. “That is just his opinion.”
I bit the inside of my cheek and gulped. I had to tell Ellie what I found out at breakfast.
“I think it’s Alpha Lucius,” I said quietly.
Ellie furrowed her brows. She was silent for a moment.
“Why do you think that?” she asked.
I glanced toward the door. I couldn’t let Dimitri know that I used my powers to read Luna Jennifer’s thoughts. At least not yet.
“I read Luna Jennifer’s mind and…,” I started speaking, but Ellie’s loud growl interrupted me.
“You what?!” she exclaimed as she stood up. “I told you not to do that, Madeline!”
I sighed and shook my head at her.
“Well, nothing bad happened, did it?” I mumbled. “I controlled it and now I know…”
“You were lucky!” Ellie exclaimed, interrupting me again. “You could have lost control over it! You could have hurt yourself!”
Ellie started pacing around and shaking her head.
“Oh, Dimitri is going to kill me,” she muttered. “He didn’t want you to go because he was afraid of you getting hurt.”
“I didn’t get hurt, Ellie,” I said, making her look at me and narrow her eyes. “Everything is fine. I am fine.”
She took a deep breath and released it slowly.
“Thank Goddess for that,” Ellie said quietly. “But you risked so much, Maddie. You fucked up.”
I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest.
“Well, it’s too late now,” I said. “I did it and I know something. Do you want me to tell you what I found out or not?”
