Enzo When I finally remembered everything, it felt as though I had broken out of a prison. All I wanted in those sweet moments was to feel Nina pressed up against me, to feel her warmth and her love. I couldn’t believe that I had spent the past weeks being locked in a fog by Selena’s doing. Somehow
“We’re going home, Enzo,” she growled, placing her hands on her hips as she glared up at me. “You’ve been very bad. We can’t come here anymore. And it’s such a shame, too, because I was having a bit of fun.” I furrowed my brow. “What are you talking about?” I muttered. “What did I do?” Selena scof
Nina When I saw Selena grab Enzo and pull him out of the locker rooms, I instantly knew that she had brainwashed him again; and she was going to take him away to the werewolf realm once more. I couldn’t lose Enzo again, so even though I knew that Selena could easily kill me now if she wanted to, e
My eyes widened. So he did remember me, at least a little bit; at the very least, he remembered my name and that I existed. He didn’t sound trusting of Selena, either. I wondered as I watched the puzzled look on his face from afar and the way that his eyes kept quickly shifting over to where I stood
Nina My friends still weren’t here yet, and it seemed that the hex that Luke put on Selena was already beginning to wear off. I could see the slight flicker of sparks that formed on her fingertips as she tried and tried again to open a portal, and I knew that she would accomplish her goal at any mo
All I could do instead was plead with him, with my eyes and with my words. “Enzo,” I murmured, shaking my head as my vision clouded with tears and my heart sank in my chest, “don’t you remember me? Can’t you see that she’s tricking you?” But Enzo didn’t answer. “Let’s go, Selena,” he said, his an
NinaWhen Enzo disappeared with Selena, I felt my heart begin to shatter into a million pieces. For the second time in the past few weeks, I had lost him again and now I wasn’t sure if I could ever get him back. Selena’s claws had sunk deep into his mind, and it seemed that her spell had taken a str
“They couldn’t do it,” Luke finally said. His voice was low and quiet. “They tried, but they couldn’t. All along, I thought it was because they took pity on you, but it was something else. It was as if something was protecting you.”I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to ask how Luke or that witch e
Nina The warm summer breeze brushed across my skin as I stood on the patio, clutching my robe tightly around my body. Laughter and splashes echoed up from the pool below, where our friends were already gathered for our big end-of-summer party. I should have been down there too, soaking up the ve
“What... what do you mean?” He braced his hands on the doorframe, leaning in closer with a heavy sigh. “I mean, by the time I caught up to them this morning, I only saw them long enough to get that photo before they were boarding a speedboat and taking off. Hell, I’m still not even totally sure wh
Nina My breath caught in my throat as I pulled open the front door expecting to see excited party guests, only to be immediately met with the sight of Luke’s grim expression. His brow was furrowed in a deep frown, his lips pressed into a tight line—clear signs that something was very wrong. “Luk
Nina I huffed out a breath as I hoisted the oversized cardboard box higher in my arms, carefully navigating my way through the living room. Strings of fairy lights poked out haphazardly from the top, and I could feel the weight of glass jars and other assorted decor inside shifting precariously wi
Then, at the last possible second, the scout seemed to find an extra burst of speed. He surged forward, hurtling between two towering oak trees and vanishing into the cover of the forest beyond. “Dammit!” I slammed my palms against the rough bark of the nearest trunk, powerless to do anything but
Enzo The crunch of leaves and snap of twigs echoed through the trees as Matt and I tore after the Schreiber scout. Our breaths came in ragged gasps, the hot summer air burning our lungs. Overhead, a little red bird chirped and flitted through the green canopy of trees; Daphne. But even she wasn’
Shaking my head, I turned without another word and stormed out of the fitting room. I took the two strides across the hall to Jessica’s fitting room and knocked on the door, folding my arms across my chest. “Jess? You in there?” There was a muffled thump in the fitting room, followed by the soun
Nina “How’s it looking in there?” I called out, rapping lightly on the wooden door of Jessica’s fitting room. “Um… decent, I guess?” her muffled voice floated back a moment later, although I could sense the uncertainty in her tone. “Decent? That’s it? Come on, Jess, this is your wedding gown w
Had I really known him at all, I wondered? Or had I merely been too self-absorbed and naive to see past the facade of unshakable command he projected? After a long silence, I found my voice. “Why didn’t he ever tell me that?” “He didn’t want you to see his weakness, I suppose,” Angelica replied
