Enzo took us inside. The whole time, Elena made noises of amazement as she looked around at his house, and I couldn't blame her for it because it was an amazing house, much better than the hotel room we had been staying in."I'll show you to your rooms so you can get settled for the night,", Enzo said."rooms", Elena laughed. "I'm pretty sure Winter already knows where her bed is" She gave me a little elbow to the ribs, teasing me.I ignored her comment and started following Enzo to where we would be, saying I was a little bit disappointed that I wouldn't be staying in bed with him again, but I would never let him know that. we went up the stairs, and instead of going right, which led to his bedroom, we went left, walking down the hall. He paused outside of the doors before opening them. Elena pushed past us, going straight in. "oh my god, it's perfect,", she said as she fell back on the bed."I'm glad you like it", Enzo laughed. Elena sat up, looking at Enzo with a serious look on

As the bus rumbled along the highway, I couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak that consumed me. Elena's comforting words did little to ease the pain in my chest as I thought about Enzo and how everything between us was a facade created by my family.I tried to push those thoughts aside and focus on the present moment. We were on our way to a new place, leaving everything behind again. We had grown to love that city, enjoying our new freedom and not having to hide our friendship from our families. The unknown future ahead of us was daunting, but I had Elena by my side, and for that, I was grateful.The bus ride seemed to stretch on forever, each passing mile carrying us further away from our past lives and Lillie as well. As the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a golden glow through the bus windows, my heart ached for so many reasons, the main one being for Lillie. Not knowing where she was or if she was okay was eating away at me.Picking up my phone again, I p

Right as those words left my mouth, there was a knock on the door, making us both jump. I looked over at Elena, who was looking back at me with the same worried look. Letting out a shaky breath, I got up slowly, heading toward the door. Placing my hand on the door handle, I paused for a second, looking back at Elena, who pointed to the broom next to the door. I nodded, picking it up with the other hand.Pressing my eye to the door, I let my wolf take over, using its hearing to see if I could hear anything on the other side of the door, but I couldn't make anything out. Elena came over, joining me at the door, taking the broom from me and holding it tight in both hands before nodding at me to open the door. Taking one last breath, I slowly opened the door, trying to look through the crack as I did. To my surprise, instead of a threat on the other side, there stood the little old lady who ran the place. She had a kind smile on her wrinkled face as she held out a tray of food toward us.

I ran through the night finally reaching the city we had left behind, I went back to the hotel picking up Lilies scent and following it until i came to a large warehouse. The sun was just starting to rise, casting a soft glow over the empty streets. I hesitated at the entrance of the warehouse, my instincts telling me that danger lurked inside.As I cautiously made my way in, the darkness enveloped me like a shroud. My wolf senses were on high alert, every sound amplified in the silence. I could hear the faint echo of my own footsteps against the concrete floor.I followed Lillie's scent deeper into the warehouse, searching for any sign of her. But she was nowhere to be found. Panic started to claw its way up my throat as I realised she might be in trouble.And then I caught another scent – one that sent a shiver down my spine. It was familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. It was a mix of earthiness and musk, tinged with something dangerous.I crept further into the darkness, my hea
