Chapter 349
Chapter 0349 Nina "Iwon't let you leave my side," Enzo whispered. His voice was a low growl, and his eyes flashed an even brighter red as he spoke. I knew that he was serious, and after the fact that we were almost caught by what sounded like a guard, maybe he was right. Maybe it was better if we stuck together in case something bad happened.
I was just worried that once we rescued Richard, Selena would only become more agitated once she found out and she would either strengthen her defenses so we couldn't save the Alpha King, or she would come after us and stop us before we ever were even able to come back.
I Either way, it didn't matter anymore.
What Luke said next only solidified that. = "This entire place is shrouded in magic," he whispered, sounding stern as he looked at me. "Even if you're able to get the Alpha King to recognize you, Selena's claws are probably already dug in too deep. It would take days, maybe even weeks, to break the spell she has on him; she's had years to perfect her tactics over him, and even though he's your biological father, you don't have the power of the fated mate bond that you have with Enzo. It's too risky, and we need to focus on getting out of here with Richard first. We can come back once he's safe." I nodded. Although it hurt to have to come back with the possibility that Selena could even possibly kill our
father in the meantime, Luke and Enzo were right. I felt like a bit of an idiot for even considering the possibility that I could handle a mission like that on my own, and I didn't want to leave Luke and Enzo alone if Selena showed up. I had already made up my mind that I needed to be the one to stop Selena, and I could never live with myself if she did something to them while I was trying to deal with the Alpha King.
"Okay," I whispered, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Let's go." I took Enzo's hand again as Luke quietly cracked the door open and peered out both ways, swiveling his head left and right to make sure that the coast was clear before he slipped out, Enzo and I followed, and the three of us continued our journey through the dark, maze-like mansion.
We quietly tiptoed down several more winding corridors before finally coming to a narrow set of stairs that looked like they were hardly used. They were located at the end of an equally narrow hallway that wasn't even wide enough for us to walk next to each other, so we had to walk in a single file line. Even then, however, I continued to hold Enzo's hand. His grip on my hand was tight, as though he expected me to be torn away from him at any moment.
While we walked, I wished that our reunion could have been more emotional. I wished that we could have had more time to be with each other. I wished that we were safely back in our dorms, without the threat of Selena coming after us. But, at the very least, was glad to have Enzo back; and I was
even more glad to know that Selena couldn't manipulate him again after this. p And if I pretended that there wasn't a likely possibility that Selena and I would die tonight, I could imagine that everything was okay.

Slowly, the three of us made our way up the stairs. The steps were creaky, and we all had to walk with painstaking care so as not to make too much noise.

It was easy for Luke and myself to walk up the stairs without causing them to creak too much but Enzo1 was big and heavy from all of the
muscle in his body, and several times we had to stop and cringe, hoping that no one heard the creaks. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Finally, we made it to the top of the steps after what felt like an eternity and came out into another, wider hallway. There was a balcony inside that looked out over the first floor- ve below us, which allowed us to see
our surroundings a bit more. We
