Chapter 324

Chapter 0324 “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 scoffed. In that instant, I swore I saw a flash of someone else behind her in the trees, peering out from the shadows. And for some reason, I swore that that person’s name was Nina.

“Selena,” I insisted, feeling more confused now than ever, “what’s going on? Who's Nina?”

Selena’s eyes widened and instantly filled with tears as though she suddenly flipped a switch. There was almost something theatrical about the way her lower lip quivered. “Don’t you dare say her name!” she snarled, her face turning red. “If you don’t stop thinking about her, I'll... I'l kill her!” I was taken aback by Selena’s words. I still didn’t even know who she was talking about.

But then, I thought I saw a flash of that other girl again. She was standing a ways off in the woods, peering out at us from behind the trees. I couldn’t explain it, but as I looked at her, I was sure that I knew her. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was Nina, and I did remember her. I was supposed to be with Nina,

not Selena; Selena was putting spells on me to make me forget. I had only been with Nina just a few minutes prior, and yet Selena’s magic had already dug its way into my brain again.

I didn’t want anything to happen to Nina. At that moment, I decided that I would have to shift and fight Selena off — it was the only way to stop her.

But before I could, she instantly saw the look in my eyes. She was too smart.

“Fuck,” she growled. “Ill say it again: forget her.” My brain went foggy again. I blinked rapidly, and suddenly realized that I didn’t know where I was; why were we in the woods? Why was Selena so angry

then back at Selena, who now had a grin on her face.

“What's going on?” I asked.

“Oh, nothing,” Selena replied in a sing-song voice. “I just want to go home now.” I furrowed my brow. I had no recollection of ever even leaving our home — the Alpha King’s mansion — but I didn’t care to question my mate. I simply nodded, deciding it was best for her to lead the way. Maybe this was just a game, or maybe it was another one of my post traumatic stress episodes. I had been in a war, after all.

Selena stared at me intensely for a moment as though she was studying me, searching me for something. Then, as if she was satisfied with what she

saw, she turned to the side and reached out with two fingers. She moved her fingers in a circular motion as though she was about to open a portal.

But nothing happened.

“What the...” she murmured, shaking out her hand and trying again. And yet, once again, nothing happened.

Selena’s face went bright red. She cursed under her breath and tried once more, but for a third time, the portal wouldn’t open.

And then, at that exact moment, I saw another version of her — one with brown eyes and freckles and black hair in two braids — bolt out from behind a tree with her sights set on Selena.
