Chapter 0421 ‘ Charlie furrowed his brows at Enzo, confused by the statement.

I “Mate? We don’t want anything with her.... We swear. We did nothing. This barn has been abandoned and— “Then why are you standing guard outside her prison? Who hired you?” Charlie fell silent as he glanced at a wide- eyed Casey.

“Nobody hired us... when the Volana killed Paul we fled...” Casey was the one to answer. “We just needed a place to rest. We didn’t know this was part of your territory.” “That’s because It’s not,” Charlie seethed, finally finding his confidence as he glared. “You don’t own this part of the land, Alpha.” Ethan and the warriors growled loudly,

“Somebody put you up to this... and until Ifind out who... I'll be holding you in the I same dungeon I'm keeping the dark witch. 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.

Ethan didn’t hesitate, he lunged at them just as Charlie jumped in front of a frozen Casey, and at the exact moment, I found my voice.

“Stop!!” I screamed, grabbing the cell bars and shaking the door to get their attention. I managed to get Enzo’s

I attention and Casey’s attention, who screamed when she saw me.

I “What the fuck?” Charlie asked, staring ' at me with wide and alarmed eyes.

“Don’t hurt them! She’s pregnant!” 1 screamed, trying to get Ethan to stop.

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.

He stopped the attack upon hearing my voice, but I knew he’d resume again in a heartbeat if given the word.

“How do you know this?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

“I'heard them talking,” I confessed, biting my bottom lip to keep my mouth from trembling. “They didn’t know I was

“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.

“Get out of here,” Enzo murmured to the rogues who didn’t hesitate to stand and run toward the doorway.

, Casey stopped once she reached the door and her eyes met mine; we held the eye I contact for a moment before Charlie appeared at the doorway again.

“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.

His lips touched the top of my head, and he buried his face in my hair, taking in my every scent as I took in his.

“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.

“Tell me,” he ordered calmly and softly.

I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and opened my mouth to speak. He leaned in so he could hear the soft words that I spoke.

I “It was.... Professor Xander.”
