' Chapter 0418 Enzoâs POV I âSomething is wrong with our mate,â Max's voice came into my head while I I was in the middle of speaking to the researcher. [ We could smell the wolfsbane potently since Hazel broke the masking spell on it, but now he was generating some new reports to prove that there was indeed wolfbane in the mixture so I could present it to not just Professor Xander, but the school board as well.
I already called to schedule a meeting with Tiffany Prescott, and I was planning on going there first thing in the morning.
That is until Max spoke the words that left me frozen.
âWhat do you mean something is wrong?â I asked my wolf in return.
i âDonât you feel it? She's nearby and ! something is wrong. I can feel her I worries... her anxieties. A little bit of her I pain as well. Sheâs far enough away where its not coming through clearly... but I sheâsclose enough that I can just reach / her...â I âSheâs at school; we arenât supposed to be able to feel her right now,â I said in return, wanting to ignore him and continue my conversation with the researcher, but his loud voice stopped me.
âI'm telling you, sheâs in range. Sheâs around somewhere and sheâs in danger,â Max growled, and I could feel just how serious he was.
âI'donât understand,â I said, shaking my head at the thought. âWhat would she be doing this close to here?â âI'donât know, Enzo,â Max growled. âBut she is. We need to go to her.â
I âWhere is she?â âT'donât know.â I âThen how do we go to her?â I asked.
\ ) âIdonât know....â I Ilooked at the researcher who was still running the tests on the mix and not I paying much attention to me anymore.
âI need to leave. But I'll be back,â I said quickly.
I didnât wait for him to answer but I thought I heard him saying, âOkay, no problem,â just as the door shut behind me.
Lilaâs POV âI donât feel right here; we should go,â the girl said in a hushed whisper, grabbing at the guy's arm.
âWe need to find the others,â he said,
harshly.
âThey probably died,â she said in { i annoyance. âYou saw what that Volana did to Paul... there's no way the others I survived that.â i âIâm sure others had fled like we did. We just have to be patient. We will come across them but for now, we should rest.â âBut right here?â The girl said and I could hear the desperation in her voice.
âItâs gross in here... the scent alone makes me want to throw up. Itâs creepy and we are way too close to that wretched pack than I feel comfortable.â That wretched pack? Was she talking about Enzoâs pack? We were close to the Calypso pack. Oh, thank Goddess. Maybe Enzo can feel me after all. T just had to hope heâd find me before they did. I bit my lip and continued to hide in the shadows, listening to them.
2 *1580NUS âThis barn has been abandoned for years.
Nobody will be coming here and we I aren't on anyone's territory. We are fine, I Casey,â he said, sounding majorly annoyed himself.
Casey was her name; I needed to I remember that in case I ran into her again in the future. If I even had a future at this point. I was basically a sitting duck, and I didnât like this feeling. But the shadows continued to morph into one of them, hiding me from their viewing. I silently thanked them and the Goddess for keeping me hidden.
âHow long are we going to stay here for?â She asked and I watched as she found a hay pile and sat down.
âJust until I finish healing and then we can go,â he answered. âMaybe for tonight. Just get some rest and we will figure it out tomorrow.â Ugh... they were going to be here all night.
I There was a part of me that wanted to \ reveal myself to them; maybe they would help me after all. Or they would leave.
I They seemed to be afraid of me; it seemed I asif they were actually in hiding. So, I maybe if they saw me, they'd let me go or / run away out of fear.
I But every time I thought too much about making myself known, Xanderâs words invaded my thoughts, and I felt a sense that I shouldnât do it. I continued to press myself against the wall, ignoring the pain going in and out of my body.
Please Enzo. If you can sense me... if you can hear me.... come find me. Your mate needs you.
I closed my eyes, allowing some tears to fall down my features. How did I allow something like this to happen? I felt so stupid.
âHowâs your back?â The girl, Casey, asked the man whose name I hadn't found out yet.
