“Don’t worry,” Luke said from across the table as he squeezed my hand gently. “We’ll find Enzo. I promise.”

Luke’s kind words were a comfort, but even so, I had no way of getting to Enzo. “I don’t know anyone who can open a portal,” I said, “and before you offer, I’m not gonna let you lose your disguise again just so you can do it for me. I know how happy it makes you to not have to hide yourself and to be able to show expressions, so I won’t let you do it.”

Luke frowned and shook his head. “I could care less about looking like a human,” he insisted. “Finding Enzo is more important. If everything you said about that Selena girl is true, then Enzo could be in serious danger. How many days has it been now?”

“Two,” I replied.

“Enzo would have come back by now if it was a simple matter of getting his dad and coming back. His dad’s an Alpha; he can open portals on his own. They would have been here by now.”

My friend’s words, although well-meaning, hit me like a ton of bricks and instantly made me feel as though I would cry again at any moment. “You really think so?” I whimpered. “You think Enzo is in trouble?”

Luke shook his head again. “I can’t be entirely sure. But we can find out. I promise; we’ll be in and out in no time, we’ll find Enzo and his dad, and we’ll come back.”

I sighed, thinking about this possibility. It was risky, but if my dreams about Enzo were true… If Selena really was controlling him and somehow making him forget about me… Then I needed to find him. Maybe, if I walked right up to the Alpha King and showed him to his face that I was his lost daughter, then I could stop anything truly horrible from happening to Enzo. I just wished that I still had my wolf here to help guide me. I couldn’t even follow Enzo’s scent.

“Alright,” I finally said with a sigh. “Let’s do it.”

“Good.” Luke stood with a confident smile on his face. “First thing in the morning, at sunrise. Meet me out in the woods behind the hockey arena. Wear something dark with a hood, and shoes you can run in if you need to. Oh, and bring some supplies, just in case we need to travel a bit.”

nodded. This was very sudden, and it was a lot to take in, but if it would help me bring Enzo home safely, then I would do whatever it

sighed as I watched Luke leave; he seemed so full of vigor, as though he was almost too confident that this would work despite the fact that so many things could go wrong. But maybe, I thought to myself as I finished cleaning up the kitchen, it wouldn’t

turned out, we wound up waiting for a lot longer than we expected. Before I knew it, it was already an hour past the time that Luke was supposed to meet me. To top it all off, I had no way of contacting him or knowing where he went. Had he gotten caught up with something? Did Myra or one of the
