Enzo and I unlocked our hotel room door and walked inside. The darkness made me shudder, but even as I flicked on the light and a warm amber glow filled the room, I still felt uneasy. What was supposed to be a fun night had been ruined, and now I just felt empty and terrified.

"What do you think we should do?" I asked, sinking down onto the edge of the bed. My fingers worried at the hem of my skirt.

Enzo's face was pale, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a look of deep concern. He paced back and forth in front of me, clutching his hair. "I don't know, Nina. But if what she said is true..." He trailed off, his gaze fixed on some distant point.

"I think we should go home," he said suddenly, determination settling in his voice. "I'll buy plane tickets right now. As soon as we're back in Mountainview, we'll open a portal to the werewolf realm."

"And then what?" I asked, my voice trembling. "What would we even be able to do?"

He paused for a moment, biting his lower lip. "I don't know," he finally said after a beat of silence. "But it would be better to be there, surrounded by people who are well-versed in these sorts of things. You can go and visit your brother's witch. Maybe she can help."

As he spoke, my mind kept floating back to what the fortune teller had said; that this curse had spanned multiple generations, and that it came from dark magic. If even my mother, the Luna of the Alpha King, couldn't be cured, then how could I?

Before I could stop him, Enzo began rushing around the room. I watched in awe as he flipped open the top of his suitcase and began haphazardly shoving clothes in. That was when I finally rose, running over to grab him by the hands and pull him away.

"What are you doing?" he asked.
