Chapter 0420 Enzo’s POV “Ethan, gather the strongest warriors. I need you on patrol of the forest just | outside our pack going North. I think Lila | is in trouble,” I sent a mindlink while running toward that exact area.
It didn’t take long for him to respond.
“What? What is she doing there?” Ethan asked and from his tone, I knew he was jumping into action regardless of what I said next.
“IT don’t know, but I know she’s in trouble,” I said in return just before ending the mindlink and running even faster.
I managed to pick up her scent almost immediately after leaving the pack borders, but I also picked up something else... wolfsbane and rogues.
Lila’s POV I stayed at the window for what felt like an eternity. I have no idea if Enzo could | sense me whatsoever, and the thought of | not knowing ached. My wolf was completely gone from me, and I was left completely in the dark.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI leaned against the open window, taking in the wonderful breeze of the outdoors and feeling it strengthened me.
Casey and Charlie were still snoring heavily, and it brought me some sort of comfort. There was a part of me that didn’t think they were that bad; maybe a little misunderstood. Although they were part of Paul’s clan, maybe their judgment was a little off.
I leaned my head against the window frame, wishing I could shrink in size so | could crawl through. The cold breeze and the scent of the familiar and clean earth
brought me a sense of comfort. I couldn’t smell Enzo though; however, my senses weren’t working as they should be so that | didn’t mean he wasn’t close by. gp» | That didn’t mean he couldn’t smell me.
My body was weak, and my wolf was still "asleep; I had no abilities, and I was losing the battle to sleep. I allowed my eyes to close and my body to rest against the hay while my head used the open window as a pillow.
If they were to wake up right now, they’d be able to see me. I was no longer hidden in the shadow and the moonlight touched me in a way that made it look like I was glowing. But at that very moment, I didn’t really care if they saw me or not.
was too tired to care.
It didn’t take long for sleep to come for me and then soon everything went dark.
| - I woke when I felt a pair of cold hands on my face, they were checking for a pulse My nose picked up a familiar scent; a scent that I loved so much. Though, it was faint, it was there. I opened my eyes and lifted my head to see Enzo kneeling at the window before me.
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I must have been dreaming; there was no way this plan of mine worked. There was no way I was here right now. Maybe those rouges saw me sleeping at the window and they killed me.
That had to be it; they killed me.
But I saw the relief in Enzo’s eyes as he sighed and took my face in his large and masculine hands. He bent down and brought his lips to mine, allowing me to taste his sweetness and his gentle touch.
My entire heart was pounding violently against my ribcage and tears prickled at the corners of my eyes Way too soon, the kiss ended, and he
| looked deep into my eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Max told me you needed help,” he | whispered against me. “I'm going to get you out of here.” I swallowed hard, wanting to speak but words failed me. He looked behind himself and nodded his head in the shadows.
He brought others with him.
I wondered what time it was and how long I'd been a prisoner in this barn.
Has Xander been captured yet? Before I knew what was happening, the front door of the barn was broken open and I swung my body around to see 3 large wolves making their way inside the barn.
I instantly recognized one of them as Ethan; the other two must have been warriors. Maybe Jake and someone else?
This woke the rogues who screamed at the very presence of Ethan and the warriors. Ethan was the first to growl fiercely, nearly shaking the entire barn.
Charlie jumped in front of Casey, shielding her from any attacks and I could see the pure horror on her face as | she stared into the eyes of the Beta.
I looked back at Enzo to tell him to not hurt them, but he was gone from the window. With a racing heart, I quickly climbed down the hay pile I created, and I tried to get myself to the cage door.
Enzo walked into the barn still in his human form and he looked seriously pissed.
«Wwe...we didn’t do anything. We were just sleeping,” Charlie was the first to speak while Casey hid behind him.
“paul is dead; what do you want with my mate?” Enzo seethed through his teeth, his eyes glowing as his wolf fought to take control.
