Enzo's hand gripped the doorknob, and with a resigned sigh, he swung the door open. Standing there was none other than Luke, his expression a mix of urgency and discomfort, as if he also wished that he were anywhere but here.

The emotional and intimate energy between Enzo and me dissipated instantly, replaced by a heavy tension that made the room feel smaller. It wasn't like Luke to visit in the middle of the night, which only meant one thing: something had happened.

"Luke, what's going on?" Enzo asked, his brow furrowing as he took in our friend's troubled expression.

"It's the burglar," Luke began, almost stumbling over the words. "He's gone. Escaped."

"What?" Enzo's voice was a mix of disbelief and anger, mirroring my own feelings. "How the hell did that happen?"

Luke scratched his head, visibly uneasy. "We had one of the guys from the pack on guard duty. He... fell asleep. When he woke up, the door was wide open, and the burglar was gone."

I couldn't keep quiet any longer. "Are you kidding me? How could we let that happen? We're not amateurs; we're supposed to be security for all of Mountainview!"

"I know, Nina. I know. It's a screw-up, a major one," Luke admitted, his eyes downcast.

"Major is an understatement," Enzo seethed, clenching his fists. "What about the spell? Your girlfriend, Mariah, placed a spell on HQ to prevent anyone from opening a portal within the building, right?"

I was grateful Enzo brought it up. Mariah was a talented witch, and had been a distant ally of our pack since Luke had started dating her right before our wedding. "Exactly. With Mariah's spell, our HQ should be like a fortress. No one should be able to just portal out."
