Chapter 0420

Nina

I watched Selena walk away after promising to Claim her. The plan was to have the small Claiming ceremony on Saturday night, but I needed to confirm that she was telling the truth first. I decided that I would have to talk to Enzo about it.

After my exam, I went to meet Enzo in the hockey arena. When I walked in, he was in the midst of training the hockey team. I couldn't help but smile as I walked over to the barricade and watched them do their drills on the ice. Seeing them doing what they loved again, just like old times, made me happy.

"Hey, Nina," Enzo said, skating up to me when they took their break. He reached over the barricade and pulled me toward him, planting a kiss on my lips. He smelled like sweat from training so hard, but I liked the scent.

"I need to talk to you," I said, lowering my voice. "I talked to Selena earlier."

"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows. I knew that he was still skeptical of Selena, and I didn't blame him. But I was almost entirely certain that she was telling the truth; I just needed to confirm it somehow.

I nodded. "She told me something about the Luna. Something interesting... She said that the Luna created these genetically engineered rogues using her own blood, and that if the Luna were to die, then the rogues wouldn't be able to survive either."

Enzo's eyebrows raised even further. "And how did you get this information?" he asked.

I felt my face go red as I spoke. "I promised that I would claim her this weekend. Saturday night, actually."

Enzo hissed, holding me firmly
