As I looked into his eyes, seeing they were filled with desire, I knew that mine would be looking the same way. I couldn't resist the pull towards him. My body craved to have him touching me. Without a second thought, I nodded, feeling a rush of excitement coursing through my veins. Enzo's smile widened as he took my hand in his, leading me back to his car. I was nervous on the drive to his house. I hadn't planned to come back to his house with him, but I definitely didn't regret my choices right now; I was just nervous. I was taken aback when we pulled up to his house. It was nothing like I thought it would be. I never expected him to live in a mansion; I didn't think bartenders earned that much at all. he came around, opened my car door, and I stepped out. I took it all in. I could feel Enzo's eyes watching my every move. "your house is beautiful", I said, turning to look at him. "its a lot bigger then i thought it would be. I didn't think bartenders earned this much money"Enzo l
"Are you okay, Winnie?" Elena said, her voice filled with panic, as she rushed to my side. I stood there quietly, trying to work out what had just happened, shaking my head. I knew that I had to go after him and find out what was going on. "Um, yes, I'm fine. Wait here."As I went to walk away, Elena grabbed my arm. "Please don't go after him. If he knows who you are, it's not safe."I ignored her worrying, knowing that this might be my own chance to work out what was going on. "I'll be fine. Just stay here, and if I'm not back soon, go to Enzo. He will keep you safe. I promise I'll be okay". I hurried off, heading in the direction he had gone in. My heart was racing with fear, scared of what I might find out. I went through the door at the side of the club, the cold air knocking the wind out of me as I did. I searched around, spotting him at the end of the alleyway. He was standing there talking to himself. Everything in me told me not to walk towards him, but I knew that I had to;
Enzo took us inside. The whole time, Elena made noises of amazement as she looked around at his house, and I couldn't blame her for it because it was an amazing house, much better than the hotel room we had been staying in."I'll show you to your rooms so you can get settled for the night,", Enzo said."rooms", Elena laughed. "I'm pretty sure Winter already knows where her bed is" She gave me a little elbow to the ribs, teasing me.I ignored her comment and started following Enzo to where we would be, saying I was a little bit disappointed that I wouldn't be staying in bed with him again, but I would never let him know that. we went up the stairs, and instead of going right, which led to his bedroom, we went left, walking down the hall. He paused outside of the doors before opening them. Elena pushed past us, going straight in. "oh my god, it's perfect,", she said as she fell back on the bed."I'm glad you like it", Enzo laughed. Elena sat up, looking at Enzo with a serious look on
I turned around to see Enzo standing in the doorway, his expression unreadable. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice quiet but demanding.I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Elena stood frozen beside me as I tried to come up with a response. But before I could say anything, Enzo spoke again. "Winter, please just tell me what's going on. Why do we need to leave town?"My heart pounded in my chest as I looked into his eyes. "We can't stay here," I finally said, my voice trembling slightly. "There's something not right about this place, about you."Enzo's eyes widened in surprise at my words. "What do you mean there's something not right about me? Winter, I promise you I would never hurt you or your friends".I could feel the wolf inside of me fighting to come out to protect Elena and me. I couldn't stand here listening to him. I couldn't trust him or a word he said because he'd been lying to me this whole time. Enzo's expression softened as he took a step closer to me. "Winter, plea
As the bus rumbled along the highway, I couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak that consumed me. Elena's comforting words did little to ease the pain in my chest as I thought about Enzo and how everything between us was a facade created by my family.I tried to push those thoughts aside and focus on the present moment. We were on our way to a new place, leaving everything behind again. We had grown to love that city, enjoying our new freedom and not having to hide our friendship from our families. The unknown future ahead of us was daunting, but I had Elena by my side, and for that, I was grateful.The bus ride seemed to stretch on forever, each passing mile carrying us further away from our past lives and Lillie as well. As the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a golden glow through the bus windows, my heart ached for so many reasons, the main one being for Lillie. Not knowing where she was or if she was okay was eating away at me.Picking up my phone again, I p
He led us to the back of the club to a door that was closed. Knocking on it, he opened it up, gesturing for us to go inside. I looked over to Elena with a worried look; she gave me a warm smile and shrugging her shoulders and walking through the door, I followed her. I was surprised when we walked in and were met by a lady with blonde hair who looked to be in her thirties. I don't know why but I wasn't expecting a woman to be running this place."Hello ladies, I'm Amber," the woman introduced herself with a warm smile. "I heard you're interested in working here. Do you have any experience?"Elena and I exchanged a nervous glance before Elena spoke up, "We don't have any professional dancing experience, but we're quick learners and hard workers."Amber nodded. "That's great to hear. We can start you off as waitresses tomorrow night and see how you do. If all goes well, we can discuss other opportunities in the future."Relief washed over me at the thought of not having to dance on stag
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. To most people, it would have been a beautiful way to wake up, but for me, it was not. My head was pounding from the night. I snuck out again with my friends and went to a party. My family never let me do anything. They always say that princesses should be seen outside of their role I had to act perfect all the time, and I hated it. I knew that if they had found out that I had been out all night with my friends Lillie and Elena, they would be even made. Our friendship was forbidden. Our kinds were not allowed to mix unless it was for something that benefited us. I rolled over, looking at the time, letting out a loud, angry growl as I did because I knew my parents would be so upset that I had missed breakfast with them. They made it clear yesterday that I had to be there because they had important news to tell me. As I quickly got dressed and tried to piece together the events of the night before, my mind was filled with wo
I headed straight for my room once I was back home. I locked my door behind me. I had to be so careful with what I did so I wouldn't get caught.As I sat on my bed, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I had made it back home safely, without anyone suspecting a thing.But I knew that I couldn't let my guard down. I had to be careful every step of the way. One wrong move and everything could come crashing down, and it wasn't only me that would be punished. It would be Lillie and Elena, too, and the last thing I wanted was for them to get into trouble because of me. I started making a mental list of all the things that I would need to take with me. I needed to pack light, but there was also so much that I would need. After all, I would never be able to turn home again. Once my family had worked out what I had done, they would disown me. Werewolves are meant to be pack animals, only ever doing things that benefit their pack. I have always tried my hardest to be a good pack member, but
