NovelEnglishChapter 0401 Nina We held the Claiming ceremony that night at the cabins. It was a new moon, and the sky was dark.
At first, I didn't actually expect many people to show up if any. But slowly, as the night went on, more and more people flooded in. Most of them were students from the campus aside from a couple of townspeople, and surprisingly Enzo approved of all of them. By the twe decided to start the ceremony, there were at least fifty people in attendance.
However, just as we were about to begin the ceremony, I saw one last person shuffle up to the group. Their face was covered by the hood on their sweatshirt, and it was obvious that they were trying to hide; but with my new ability to see well in the dark, I saw them instantly. And I knew who it was, too.

"Selena, we just went over this earlier today. What don't you understand?" Selena groaned and pulled her hood down, givinga dark look. "It's not fair to exclude me," she said. "Just letgo back to the way I was before. I won't bother anyone. I hate being human." With a sigh, I looked up at Enzo, who had followedover.
"C'mon, Selena," he said, taking her by the arm. "I'm walking you home." He started to guide her away from the group, but Selena struggled against him and almost seemed to snarl, as though she forgot for a moment that she wasn't a werewolf.
"I have information!" she shouted as Enzo continued to lead her away. He was being more forceful now, as other people were starting to notice that something was happening. "Nina, just listen to me!" Enzo stopped and looked over his shoulder at me. I was curious now, so I walked up to them and folded my arms across my chest.
"Alright," I said, not fully believing her. "If you have information that can help us and prove that you're on our side, I'll let you turn back." As I spoke, Enzo's eyes widened as he looked at me.
"Seriously?" his voice echoed in my head.
"No," I replied. "She doesn't have anything." Enzo let Selena go, and she wrenched her arm free and scowled at him. "I have information on the Luna," she said. "But I want you to turnfirst." I held in a laugh and shook my head. "Selena, what makes you think that I would trust you enough to tum you before you even tellanything?" Selena scowled atfor several long moments. She gavethe slook that she gaveearlier that morning before she finally turned on her heel and stormed off into the night.
And with that, we began the Claiming ceremony.
After the ceremony, there was a party at the cabins. People needed to celebrate to boost their morale, especially after everything that had happened. However, I knew that Enzo wasn't keen on partying at a tlike this, and I found him sitting on the steps to one of the cabins by himself while everyone danced around the fire.

"Look," I said, "I know you're nervous about this. But look-"I gestured over to the party, where people were having fun. Matt was standing off to the side with a few new recruits and he was teaching them how to shift, which was causing a lot of awe and laughter. "Everything is going smoothly."
Enzo looked atquietly for a few more moments. Then, suddenly, he reached out and wrapped one arm ive around my hips. He pulledclose to where he sat and buried his head in my belly. I let out a soft sigh as I played with his curly brown hair.
Being with Enzo felt so natural now that we had marked each other. All of the back-and-forth between us an semester felt silly how, like a long-forgotten joke. Even with the threat of the Luna and the Crescents on the horizon, I felt at peace with Enzo by my side.
I Suddenly, I felt Enzo's hand slide up the back of my shirt. His hand was cold against my skin and made@wiat shiver. When I looked down at him, I realized now that he was looking up atwith a bit of mischief in his eyes. He brought his hand around, tracing his fingers along my waist, and then moved aside my bra to give my nipple a pinch. X
