Chapter 0327 Nina My friends still weren't here yet, and it seemed that the hex that Luke put on Selena was already beginning to wear off. I could see the slight flicker of sparks that formed on her fingertips as she tried and tried again to open a portal, and I knew that she would accomplish her goal at any moment.
Maybe I was acting crazy and reckless, but I couldn’t just let her leave with Enzo. I couldn’t lose him again. I didn’t care if Selena hurt me, or even if her spell was so thick in Enzo’s mind that he thought I was insane. All I knew was that I needed to stop her until my friends came to help me.
without a second thought, I bolted out from behind the tree.
Enzo saw me first. His eyes widened with a mixture of surprise and confusion as I sprinted across the clearing.

Together, Selena and I grappled on the forest floor for a few moments. She snarled and shouted obscenities as she tried to claw at me with her fingernails, but I quickly grabbed her wrists as hard as I could and wrenched them back, pinning them against the ground and causing her to yelp in pain.
I sat on top of her and kept her pinned there, my eyes wild with
determination.
“You bitch!” Selena growled. “Enzo! Help me! Get her off!” “No, Enzo!” I shouted, whipping my head around at him to stare into his eyes in the hopes that he would recognize me and break through her spell again. “Don’t listen to her!” Enzo’s eyes were still wide. He stared at both of us with confusion, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of us. I could tell that Selena’s spell had dug itself even deeper into his mind this time, and it seemed as though he didn’t even really know where he was.
No matter how hard I pleaded with my eyes, he only looked back at me with a confused expression on his face.
“Baby!” Selena insisted. “Help!”
Finally, Enzo stormed toward us.
thought for the briefest of moments that he recognized me and was going to help me again... But I was so, so wrong in that assumption.
“Get off of her,” he said, his eyes beginning to glow red with anger as he towered over me.

“Enzo,” I begged, “it’s me. Nina. You have to break through her spell. Selena is—" Before I could finish, Enzo suddenly grabbed me by the back of my shirt and yanked me off of Selena. He tossed me to the ground, not even caring that he might have hurt me, and then helped Selena to her feet.
“Are you okay?” he asked her, his eyes searching her face with worry while his hands rubbed her wrists gently where 1 had been holding her down.
I scrambled to my feet, my face caked with dirt and tears. “Enzo, please—"" 1 began, reaching out for him, but he slapped my hand away and glared at me with those angry, glowing red eyes.
Meanwhile, Selena only smirked behind him as he looked at me, but her face quickly returned to a twisted sob as he looked back at her.
“Baby, I don’t know who this crazy bitch is, but I want to go home,” Selena sobbed, throwing her arms around him.
I wanted to fight back. I wanted to tear them away from each other, but Enzo only glared at me angrily over her
shoulder, his eyes burning with a territorial urgency. I knew that if I tried to get in between them now, he would only get even more angry and Selena would get her way.
