Chapter 0755 Nina

"Goodbye, Nina. We'll miss you."

Jessica and Lori held me tightly just outside the swirling portal, tears in their eyes. I had already cried all of the tears I possibly could, and felt utterly dried up; but it didn't make their leaving hurt any less.

"I'll miss you guys, too," I said softly. "But we can visit."

Luke, who was standing off to the side, nodded. "We'll come every week. I'll make sure of it."

I managed the tiniest smile and took a step back. "Thank you."

As I watched my friends go through the portal, I knew that a big change was ahead of me. I was going to be staying here, in the supernatural realm with my parents and my brother, for the foreseeable future. It was funny how things did a 180, and so quickly, too.

But I had no desire to return to Mountainview. Not now, at least. And I especially didn't have any desire to return to the home that Enzo and I once shared.

It had been three days since he had rejected me as his mate. Three days, and the pain was still just as profound as it had been that instant that he had said the words.

"Nina, I reject you as my mate."

I could still hear those words clear as day, echoing constantly through my mind. My wolf had turned weak, and could barely even speak to me. Shifting was entirely out of the question.

I kept telling myself that he would come to his senses and take back what he had said, but with each passing day, with each moment that we came closer to his departure, he still wouldn't speak to me.

More than once, I found myself standing outside of the infirmary, hoping beyond hope that we could talk.

And more than once, someone would appear to pull me away. Not once did Enzo sense my presence and call out to me. Not once did he ask to speak with me.
