Chapter 368: Chapter 419

Chapter 0419 “It'll be fine,” he murmured, sitting beside her. “Just give my wolf some time.

He’s old and it takes him a little longer to heal me nowadays.” “you aren’t old, Charlie,” she said, and I heard a little flirtatious humor in her tone.

Charlie was his name; I needed to remember that.

Casey and Charlie; rogues and Volana hunters. I shuddered at the very thought.

“My wolf is an old soul,” he said in return, but I could hear the chuckle in his voice. “Come here.” [ heard her moving toward him and 1 knew he must have been holding her close.

“How did we get so wrapped up in this?” She whispered against him.

He was quiet for a moment before answering her lingering question.

“We just want to make this world safe for our pup...” he said, his voice going a little too soft that I had to lean a little bit forward to hear him. “A Volana-infested world isn’t safe.” I heard her cry lightly and then she sniffled.

«What world is our pup going to be born into?” She asked in a broken whisper.

«A safe one... I will make sure of it.” My heart clenched at their words; Casey was pregnant, and it seemed that Charlie was the father. They were going to be parents and they thought a world of Volana wolves was a dangerous world.

They feel threatened by us.

But the reasoning behind that is unclear to me.

We weren't dangerous; at least, my

mother and I weren't. Enzo’s mother isn’t dangerous either and it didn’t seem like any of those in her village were dangerous either. But none of them even have their abilities anymore, so hunting I them didn’t make any sense.

I Did that mean there were Volana wolves that weren't good? Ones that used their powers for evil instead of good? I didn’t want to believe such a thing, but it was the only thing that was truly making sense to me.

I bit my lip, trying to keep myself from crying.

“Ugh... it smells in here,” she whispered, and I could tell her face was pressed against his side. “Almost like wolfbane...

do you smell that?” My heart fell into my stomach.

Wolfsbane.

Was that what Xander had injected me

with? That made me feel like my inside was on fire and made me pass out. Was that what they were smelling instead of my Volana scent? “There’s no one here...” he assured her.

“But yeah... I smell that too. The flower I could be growing somewhere around here.” “I,eave it to that stupid pack to have wolfbane flowers growing,” she murmured.

I could practically hear her eye roll.

«We are outside the pack so I doubt it’s them,” he said in return.

«gtill...” she huffed. “It’s weird that we couldn’t smell it from outside the barn.” “It’s not dangerous unless we are injected with it. Smelling itwon'tdoa damn thing. Just get some sleep,” Charlie pleaded.

“Fine...” she murmured, and soon, they

I both went silent.

My heart was pounding against my ribcage; they couldn’t smell anything from outside so maybe Enzo couldn’t smell me either. I glanced up at the window; the little bit of sunlight left was completely gone and the barn had gone completely dark.

After a few minutes, I heard the light snoring of both those rogues, and I smiled knowing they were completely out.

Quietly, I emerged from the shadows.

There was a lot of hay left in the cage and I might be able to use that to my advantage. As quietly and slowly as I could I moved the hay piles to the window. A couple of times I had to freeze when I heard the snoring stop, but then it continued shortly after.

Once the hay was piled up until it reached the window, I took a deep breath before willing my limbs to move and climb up

. the hay pile. I clenched my teeth as pain shot through me; I was incredibly weak and thought I was calling to fall at any moment, but I finally reached the top of the hay pile.

I I could have fallen asleep once I reached I the top, but I knew I needed to get that window open. I needed Enzo to smell me, or at least sense me. I needed this to work.

I was more than relieved when I saw that the window was unlocked. When I finally got it open, I wafted with the fresh breeze of the outdoors, and I soaked in the fresh scent of the earth.

But I also smelled something else, and my mouth instantly watered with desires.

Despite having my wolf asleep and hidden in the back of my mind, I could still smell my mate.

Enzo was nearby.
