Chapter 0404 I nodded, taking a cookie off the plate on the counter.
“She’s still with Diana in her village.
The shield is still intact and there are a lot more survivors than they initially thought. They are in the process of healing and things are looking okay,” I answered, taking a bite of the warm chocolate chip cookie.
Dee made the best cookies; I realized I hadn’t eaten all day, and it was almost nightfall.
“Are they going to be able to repair the village?” Dee asked and I could hear the worry behind her words.
“I'hope so,” I said in return. “I wish I could have seen it before it was
destroyed. From what I saw, it was beautiful.” “It was,” Dee said, a faint smile on her lips.
“You've seen it?” “I’ve visited in the past with some baked goods,” she admitted. “I tried to keep in touch with Diana while Enzo was growing up, so she’d know he was.” I frowned, confused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I thought only Volana wolves could access that village while the shield was up?” “Hazel was able to grant certain wolves access to the village; she did it with very limited people, but I was lucky enough to be granted that access.
~~ Considering I was the one taking care
of Enzo and all. She didn’t know Enzo well, but she knew Diana would want to make sure her son was well while she couldn’t be there,” Dee explained.
I took another big bite of the cookie.
“I getit,” I said. “These are so good by the way.” She chuckled.
“I put a little cinnamon in it as a secret ingredient,” she told me proudly.
“How is Hazel by the way? Enzo told me she was in the hospital.” “I'm not really sure,” I admitted. “I hope I'll know more information soon though.” “Keep me updated if you find out anything before, I do. I kind of want to
pay her a visit for myself.” I nodded in agreement. \ “We could go together,” I said and before she could respond, the kitchen door opened.
Enzo and my father came into the kitchen and they both had identical worried expressions.
“Hey,” I said, shoving the last of the cookie into my mouth. “Everything okay?” “I'need you to go back to the school,” Enzo said, his voice grim.
I frowned at him.
“Now?” I asked. “Why?” “Well, for starters you have class tomorrow. It’s Monday,” my father answered him. “Secondly, it’s safer for
you there than it is here.” “I don’t understand... why isn’t it safe { for me here?” I asked, standing to my feet.
Enzo came over to me and I saw the compassion lingering in his eyes as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
“Because there’s a witch here and we are suspicious of her. We don’t know what she’s planning but capturing her was way too easy. Especially considering she is the strongest dark witch to ever exist,” Enzo explained. “I don’t want you both in the same area.” “But she has shackles that keep her powers locked away,” I told them.
“It’s still dangerous. Those aren’t guaranteed.”
I pouted at him.
“But what about you? Are you going to be safe here?” I asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEnzo gave me a small smile and leaned down to kiss me gently on the lips. I knew he was only being gentle because my father and Dee were watching us, but the strength of our mate bond was making me want him so much at that moment and I knew he felt the same way.
“I'll be safe,” he breathed against my lips. “I'll take you back to the school myself though considering your car is there.” I nodded and kissed him again.
When we parted, I went to my father to hug him.
“Keep me updated on Hazel and Mom,
okay?” I asked him.
“Of course, Lila Bean. Just focus on staying safe... and your studies.” “Iwill,” I said, pulling away from him.
I hugged Dee next.
“Be safe too,” I whispered to her.
She nodded and grabbed some Tupperware.
“Take some cookies to go,” she ordered, winking at me as she piled the entire plate of cookies in the Tupperware.
I laughed.
“I'won't argue with that,” I chuckled.
Third Person POV “Alpha... they took the dark witch,” one of Jonahan'’s spies had said through a mindlink. “That witch is the one you wanted right? The one who was helping Paul?” “Yes,” Jonathan answered. “You did well by staying by his side and keeping watching over him. You can return here to your home.” “Thank you, Alpha... but what are you planning next? Alpha Bastien and Alpha Enzo have the witch now.” “Don’t worry about that. They won't have her for long...”
