Chapter 0643 Nina

*Does anyone else smell... humans?"

As the werewolf's voice rose above the din, Lori jerked her head up, her eyes widening with fear. Realization dawned across Matt, Enzo, and Jessica's faces, and I knew we needed to act fast. No one knew exactly where the scent was coming from yet, so I needed to get Lori out of here and reapply that perfume before anyone figured it

out.

Enzo, always quick on his feet, used his Mindlink connection with me to convey a message. "Nina, get Lori out of here," he said. "Slowly and casually, so as not to raise any red flags."

I nodded almost imperceptibly, my heart pounding in my chest. Enzo was right; slowly and casually. All we needed to do was slip out of the party undetected, reapply the perfume, and everything would be fine.

Without a word, I took Lori's hand and guided her to her feet. She understood immediately, and followed without a moment's hesitation.

"I swear I smell a human," the werewolf repeated to his friends nearby, still sniffing the air. "I think they're close, too."

Lori and I picked up our pace, our grips tightening on each other's hands. There was no telling what would happen if people found out that there was a human here, and I didn't want to stick around long enough to find out.

But as we walked, the voice carried over to us again, stronger this time. "Hey! Hey you!" he called out.

*Come on, Lori," I whispered, feeling her tense up beside me. "Just keep going."
