Chapter 0420
Nina
| watched Selena walk away after promising to Claim her. The plan was to have the small Claiming ceremony on
Saturday night, but | needed to confirm that she was telling the truth first. | decided that | would have to talk to
Enzo about it.
After my exam, | went to meet Enzo in the hockey arena. When | walked in, he was in the midst of training the
hockey team. | couldn't help but smile as | walked over to the barricade and watched them do their drills on the
ice. Seeing them doing what they loved again, just like old times, madehappy.
"Hey, Nina," Enzo said, skating up towhen they took their break. He reached over the barricade and pulled
"I need to talk to you," I said, lowering my voice. "| talked to Selena earlier."
"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows. | knew that he was still skeptical of Selena, and I didn't blhim. But | was
almost entirely certain that she was telling the truth; | just needed to confirm it somehow.
| nodded. "She toldsomething about the Luna. Something interesting... She said that the Luna created these
genetically engineered rogues using her own blood, and that if the Luna were to die, then the rogues wouldn't be
able to survive either."
Enzo's eyebrows raised even further. "And how did you get this information?" he asked.
| felt my face go red as | spoke. "I promised that | would claim her this weekend. Saturday night, actually."
"Nina!" Enzo hissed, holdingfirmly by both shoulders. "Are you insane?"
"I can tell that she's telling the truth," | insisted. "But maybe.. Maybe we can take down the Luna first."
Enzo scoffed. | could tell that he was pretty angry with me. "You plan on taking her down between now and
Saturday night?" he asked, sounding incredulous. "Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Not only that, but
what if you do somehow manage to kill the Luna, and then you Claim Selena and she just goes straight back to
her old self? What then, hm?"
| shook my head and curled my hands up into fists at my sides as Enzo spoke. "Listen, Enzo," | replied, "I needed
to do whatever it took to get Selena to talk. Tis running out, it'll only be a matter of tbefore the
Crescents cback."
"And we'll be well prepared when they do," Enzo said. "We've got plenty of help around here. The town is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprotected, and the Crescents have been laying low. We don't need to rush this."
"What about my father?" | hissed. "He's still in the Luna's clutches. What about those poor people in the
werewolf realm who have been suffering because of her rule? What about the people out there in our world who
are still rogues because we couldn't save everyone with the antidote? What about them?"
Enzo went silent. By this point, the rest of the hockey team had noticed our quarreling and
were slowly beginning to gather around curiously.
"Listen," | pleaded. "Despite what Selena has done, she is still my twin; and the bond between us is stronger
than the bond that any regular human twins would have. | know she's telling the truth. And | know that if we can
just take down the Luna, this will be all over. Her genetically engineered rogues will die. My father will be
released from her spell, and with his help we'll be able to take down the Crescents. Tis running out, and we
need to hurry."
For a long time, Enzo just stared at me. But then, finally, he spoke.
"So, what do you suggest?" he asked.
Suddenly, Matt chimed in. "I say we storm the Alpha King's mansion," he said. "We have our own little army. We
can use the distraction while someone assassinates the Luna."
Enzo and | slowly turned to look at Matt, then back at each other.
"He's right," | said quietly.
Enzo stared down at the ice for a few moments. His jaw was shifting back and forth, just like it always did when
he was thinking deeply. "We could do it," he finally said after stime. We'll need to plan, though. We can't just
storm the Alpha King's mansion on a whim... But you're right, Nina. Tis running out, and people are suffering
because we've been dragging our feet and preparing for a battle that might be impossible to win if we keep
letting the Luna create more genetically engineered rogues.
He then looked back up at me, and his soft brown eyes were wrought with worry. | reached across the barrier and
took his hand, squeezing it gently.
"Thank you, Enzo," | said.
"This begs the question, though," Matt chimed in again, skating up to stand beside us." Who's going to
assassinate the Luna?"

"I'll do it," I said finally, swallowing the lump of fear in my throat as | stood up a little straighter. "I'll kill the Luna
if the rest of you can create a distraction. It's my plan, so | should be the one to do it."

But Enzo finally shook his head. His soft brown eyes met mine again, and his face was stony, like he was trying
to hide his true emotions. Behind that facade, | knew that there was pure terror whirling around in his mind.
"No," he said. "I won't let you do that. | won't make you be the one to have to kill like that.
We'll find another way. We'll.. We'll find someone who can do it quickly and easily, someone who has killed
before."
