NovelAppJ Chapter 0347 Nina ry “There’s the side door,” Enzo said, pointing ahead at a small wooden door that was located on the side of the mansion. “The guards should switch over soon. When they do, we can get inside if we run quickly. But all of us can’t go in there.” I nodded. “You're right. It would be too obvious if six of us went in all at once.” “I can keep watch out here,” Matt said.
“Maybe if Selena comes, I can distract her. Lori and Jessica, maybe you two can stay with me.” Lori and Jessica both nodded in agreement. I was glad, because I felt as
| though it was more dangerous inside the mansion. At least out here, they | could easily run away if they needed to: Then, that just left Enzo, Luke and I to go inside. Enzo knew the layout of the mansion well, so of course he needed | to go in. And if Selena was inside waiting for us, I wanted to be there to fight her if I needed to. As for Luke...
When I looked at him, I knew that he wouldn’t let me go in there without him. He was originally supposed to be my bodyguard, after all. He wouldn't have come this far just to let me wander into the monster’s lair without him there by my side to protect me, regardless of whether Enzo was with me or not.

text me so we know she’s out hers, | When we get Richard, we’ll come back | and I'll open a portal for us and get us all the hell out of here.” The rest of my friends nodded.
Suddenly, Enzo shook my shoulder and pointed again.
“Look,” he said. “They’re switching over again.” I could see that the current guards that were patrolling the front of the mansion were now turning and heading back inside. At the front door, I could see more guards coming out.
Now was our chance; we only had a tiny window of unguarded time to run across the road and over to the door, and so without even having the time to so much as say goodbye to our friends, Enzo, Luke and I took off across the
road with Enzo in the lead.
He ran fast, keeping low. I followed suit, always keeping one eye on the guards. Luke ran behind me.
When we finally reached the row of hedges that hid us from the guards, we only had a second to spare before they stopped at their posts. But they were going to begin patrolling, so we couldn’t stop here in case one of them came over to our area. Enzo, still staying low, crouched and ran up to the side door. He took one glance over his shoulder at Luke and I, checking to make sure that we were behind him — and we were right on his heels — before he quietly pushed the door open.
Much to my surprise, the door opened with ease. I was shocked that this side
door wasn’t locked at this hour, which only made me even more anxious that Selena was inside the mansion,.and that she intentionally kept it unlocked knowing that we would walk straight into her trap.

It was extremely dark inside with no lights on. I reached for my phone to flick on the flashlight, but Enzo stopped me and slowly shook his head.
He had night vision abilities, and without my wolf, I could hardly see anything. But he was right; using a flashlight could alert someone to our presence. I would just have to hold onto his arm and trust his night vision
to guide us until my eyes adjusted enough to see just a little bit.
Slowly and quietly, the three of us began walking down the corridor. I held firmly onto Enzo’s strong arm with both hands, feeling as though I was as blind as a bat at first. Finally, my eyes adjusted a little and I could see somewhat better. We turned down another hallway that was a bit wider, and there were doors on either side.
I could hear the sounds of snoring coming through some of the doors.
Enzo did say before that the side door led to the servants’ quarters, so I figured that the servants’ bedrooms lined this hallway.
