We'll see how long it takes you to talk.” “We didn’t do anything!!” Casey screamed, finally standing to her feet and stepping around Charlie. “You can’t punish us for something we didn’t do.” “We'll see about that,” Enzo muttered, putting his hand down and stepping aside for his men to attack.

Charlie had a nasty bite on his arm from Ethan's attack, but he didn’t seem to notice it. I'm sure his wolf was probably healing him as we spoke. Though, he was sitting on the ground and Casey was now leaning over him, assessing the wound while Ethan was growling in their faces.

“She’s locked in a cage.” “Just let them go,” I pleaded for Enzo.
He looked uncertain but he didn’t argue with me; he glanced down at a waiting Ethan and warriors and nodded to them to back off.
They did as he commanded, stepping away from Casey and Charlie.

“Are you coming or not?” He growled at I" her.
She nodded at him and finally turned and left the barn.
Enzo grabbed a rock from the ground outside before running at the locked cage and busting the door open. I stepped back as he did so, and a flood of relief poured from me once that door was open, and Enzo was holding me in his arms.
I buried my face in my chest, taking in his scent and basking in his complete warmth. Everything about him was so perfect and all I wanted was to be cradled in his arms and loved by him for eternity.

“You smell like Wolfsbane,” he whispered against me. “I’m going to bring you to the pack doctor.” I nodded to him, not wanting to let him go and also not fully trusting my voice.
I He took my shoulders and pulled me away from him; I couldn’t help the small whimper that escaped my lips. I saw the small smile in his eyes, but his face was Very serious.
“Tell me who did this to you, Lila. Who locked you in here?” He asked.
As the memories surfaced in my mind, tears filled my eyes, and I bit my bottom lip to keep from sobbing. He remained still and continued to stare into my eyes.
