Enzo’s POV
My mother sat in the backseat with bruises and cuts occupying her face. Her hands and feet were
bound together, making it impossible for her to move, despite her desperately trying. Her mouth was
also covered in tape, so she couldn’t speak but I heard her screaming through the tape.
I saw fucking red.
I shifted without another thought, growling so loudly that the earth shook.
Ethan and my head gamma, Jack, were also shifted into their wolves; they were ready to attack on my
command.
Paul slammed the door shut, blocking me from my mother.
I lunged toward Paul, ready to bare my teeth into his flesh and rip him apart, limb from limb. He
remained unmoved, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his lips.
It didn’t take me long to realize why.
Soon, a shooting pain hit my head and I was falling to the ground in mid-air. The shoulder of my wolf
hit the hard ground and we howled out in pain as the feeling intensified on our heads. It felt like my
brain was about to explode. Nausea came quickly after, and spots clouded my vision.
I managed to sneak a peek at the men around me and saw they were too wailing on the ground.
I saw Paul’s shoes stepping in front of me and he knelt in front of me. I howled out as the pain grew
worse, gritting my teeth as I glared up at the bastard.
Behind him stood a small-looking woman with white hair and eyes that looked avoid.
Telling from her aura, I could tell that she was a witch.
This pain was her doing.
I wanted to rip her throat out, but I was nearly paralyzed by the pain.

“Have you met my friend Cecilia… CC for short,” Paul said, his tone kept casual, which pissed me off
immensely. “She’s quite good at what she does,” Paul chuckled as he stood to his feet.
He turned back to the car, the car they were keeping my mother inside and he opened the door. I got a
glimpse of my mother with tears in her eyes. She saw me lying on the ground and I heard her muffled
screams through the tape. She struggled against their hold, wanting to get to me.
Paul slid into the car beside her, forcing her further into the car. CC got in after him. She had released
her hold on our brains just as the door of the car slammed shut.
My head still hurt, but I was able to perch myself up and try to steady myself.
“Where is that fucker!!” I growled, ignoring the shooting of my head.
“He’s gone,” Ethan said from beside me, he was rubbing his head, trying to recover from that pain.
“They have a witch on their side.”

Lila’s POV
I stared after Enzo, curiously. Ethan had pulled him away so suddenly and my stomach tightened.
I knew something was wrong; I could feel it in my bones.
Part of being marked was being able to feel the emotions of the other mate if we were in the range of
one another. I felt his anxieties and worry when Ethan whispered into his ear. It was a feeling that soon
turned into a fury that bubbled in my stomach.
Someone was outside with them.
“We should get to our mate,” Val agreed with me. “Max feels angry.”
What could possibly be happening outside that could cause Enzo and his wolf to feel this much anger?
It was a rage I had never felt before and yet it wasn’t my own. I didn’t know having a mate would feel so
intense.
Just as I stood, pain shot through my body, making me buckle in my steps. My head was throbbing, and
it felt like my brain was about to explode. The pain only got worse, and this time, I let out a whimper.
“Lila?” I heard my name, but it sounded distorted. “Oh, my goddess. Are you okay?”
I couldn’t respond, I couldn’t speak. But soon, a warmth washed over me, and the scent of my mate
filled the air. The pain in my body began to lessen and I relaxed. His arms embraced me, wrapping me
in his warm and soothing arms. I pressed my face into his chest and breathed him in, taking in his every
scent.
“What happened?” Enzo asked.
“I don’t know,” I whispered to him. “I felt your emotions and I was going to come to check on you. Then
I felt this shooting pain in my head.”
Enzo frowned and looked around my face.
“A shooting pain?” He asked.
I nodded.
“I felt it in my back too. I thought I was dying for a second.”
Enzo gave me a strange look, furrowing his brows together.
“What?” I asked.
“Did it happen to anyone else here? He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.
I looked around brefily before looking back up at him.
“I don’t think so…” I said in response. “Why?”
He was about to answer, but Ethan interrupted us.
“We need to go,” Ethan said to him; Enzo nodded and then turned to me.
“We will talk later, okay?” Enzo said, leaning in to kiss me.
I kissed him gently on the lips but my frown deepened.
“Where are you going?” I asked, following after them.
“I just need to deal with something. More Alpha stuff.”
“Does it have anything to do with that pain you felt?” I asked, still following after him until we left the
dining room.
“Nothing for you to worry about, Lila. Its just Alpha stuff,” he repeated, a little frustration in his voice.
Jack and Ethan were far ahead of him, almost at his office.
“As the future Luna, I think I should be concerned with Alpha stuff. Don’t you think so?” I asked, making
him pause.
“Lila—”
“Enzo, the moment you marked me you decided to make us a team,” I reminded him firmly. “Whatever
is happening, whatever you are going through, we can get through it together. I can feel your emotions
and I know something is going on. What is it?”
I wasn’t backing down from this.
“Okay, you’re right. I’m sorry,” Enzo sighed. “I just don’t want to put you in any danger. I just got you…I
can’t lose you, Lila.”
I saw how scared he was from his eyes and the look he was giving me, but most importantly I could feel
it.
“What’s going on?” I asked again.
“Paul has my mother and said he will kill her if I don’t bring you to them,” he said quickly, a wave of hurt
crossing his face.
My heart fell into my stomach.
“Your father’s beta?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “He has your mother?”
“Yes,” Enzo answered. “I’m not going to let him hurt you. I’m going to get my mother back.”
Enzo turned to leave but I grabbed his arm gently.
“I’ll go to him,” I said, gazing up at my mate.
Enzo growled, the eyes of Max flashing through Enzo’s gaze.
“I’m not letting you do that,” Enzo growled.
“If it’s the only way to get your mother back; I will go to him,” I said again. “I’m not afraid of him.”
“I won’t put you in danger, Lila,” he said through his teeth. I knew it was taking everything he had to
keep control. I placed my hand on his arm, gazing up at him and pressing myself close to him.
“I’ll have you with me,” I told him softly. “I’ll be safe.”
He looked around my face for a moment longer before sighing; I knew I had won this battle. I leaned up
and kissed him. Feeling his lips on mine was the only thing I needed at that moment. He tasted so
good, and I loved everything about him. I was his and he was mine. I would do anything to protect what
is mine and those that I love.
Even if it means walking into the eye of danger.
