Chapter 0372

Enzo

Selena saw me moving, and diverted her attention away from Nina. I supposed, in a way, was just glad that she was focused on me and not Nina. She stormed over to me and grabbed me by the hair, yanking my head back as she raised her hand to cast a spell that would kill me and leave Nina to suffer.
