Nina I woke up that night with a start. My back and forehead were both caked in sweat, and my entire body was shaking as I sat up in bed. That night, I had had a dream about Enzo; a horrible dream, at that. I was searching for him, running through the forest as fast as I could and calling his name

I felt my stomach sink as the Fullmoons made their way onto stage. Seeing Lewis almost made me sick after what had happened at the meeting the other day. Even just thinking about how they were not going to protect any of our neighboring towns made my blood boil. Jessica, seeing this, shot me an empa

Enzo I knew I shouldn’t have hidden so close to Selena. She saw me instantly when she walked out of the witch’s hut, and her eyes fixed on me in the darkness like a hawk. “Enzo?” she called out, frowning. “Is that you?” There was no way that I could have gotten away at that point; even if I did g

We walked right in through the front doors. The inside of the mansion was comfortably warm after being out in the cold all night, I had to admit. A servant came and took my jacket and Selena’s cloak, and then Selena led me down a hallway that was lined with shining suits of armor like something out

Nina On the night after the dean’s announcement, I realized once more that I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Even just over the course of a couple of nights in Enzo’s warm arms, I already couldn’t sleep without him. I couldn’t explain what came over me next. Maybe it was the exhaustion. Maybe it was de

As Justin spoke, my heart fluttered a bit in my chest. I couldn’t help but smile at his words. It was so unexpected to hear Justin talk like this, and for a moment, I was reminded of our nights spent together hanging out on the hockey bleachers or behind the arena. If only it hadn’t been sullied by

Enzo After Selena touched me, I blacked out. I didn’t wake up again until much later, when the sun was shining through my window. My head was still stuck in a thick fog as it reeled dizzily. Once the dizziness began to pass, I groaned and pushed myself up to a seated position as I took in my surro

Nina “Don’t worry,” Luke said from across the table as he squeezed my hand gently. “We’ll find Enzo. I promise.” Luke’s kind words were a comfort, but even so, I had no way of getting to Enzo. “I don’t know anyone who can open a portal,” I said, “and before you offer, I’m not gonna let you lose yo

“At least let us come with you, then,” Lori said with a frown as she folded her arms across her chest. “I can’t let you guys go,” I replied. “Luke and I need to be fast, and we need to get in and out without being seen. We can’t have too many people with us, and besides… If something happens, I nee
