Chapter 0334 I nodded. Even though there was a lump in my throat and a pit of dread growing in my stomach, I knew that I had to let my friendse with me.


    “Bring the shlight,” I said.


    Once we were finished packing, which only took ten minutes at the most, we met up with Luke and Matt in the quad.


    “Come on,” Matt said impatiently, looking up at the building that contained the dean’s office. “Curfew is about to start. We don’t need anyone forcing us to go inside.” For the past few weeks, aside from the


    night of the dance, there had been a strict curfew on both the campus and the town. The dean originally had the Fullmoons enforcing it, but when the Fullmoons left she had employed some students to basically act as glorified hall monitors. It didn’t really work, and people still went out after dark, but the dean was sure to stop us if she found out what we were doing. She had too much faith in the Fullmoons, and she was too proud to let her own students potentially put themselves in danger because the Fullmoons weren’t being helpful.


    The five of us took off once more toward the woods, and by the time we reached the edge of the treeline, the curfew rm went off. Thankfully we were out of sight now.


    Luke led us back to the clearing where


    Enzo and Selena left. He exined as we walked that portals could sometimes leave residue, which could make it easier to open another portal.


    And, if we used the residue from the previous portal to open a new one, there was a likely chance that we woulde out at the same spot where Enzo and Selena hade out, which would mean that we would be that much closer to the two of them.

    Finally, we stopped in the center of the clearing. The full moon was rising slowly above us, and the sky was darkening quickly.


    Luke stepped out of the group and took a deep breath. The rest of us watched, wringing our hands nervously, as he began to make the circr motion with his index and middle fingers...


    I waited with bated breath, praying that the portal would open. If Selena had just opened one, then surely Luke could open one, too. Surely she had left in such a hurry that she wouldn''t have thought to put any sort of hex on us.


    But we waited, and nothing happened.


    No matter how many times Luke moved his hand around in that circr motion, whispering under his breath, nothing happened.


    “shit,” he said quietly, dropping his arms to his side. “She’s too smart.” My eyes widened and I stormed up to Luke. “What''s wrong?” I asked. “Why isn’t it working?” Luke shook his head and shrugged at the same time. “I''m not sure exactly.


    She must have known I wasing, God dammit.” I stared at Luke with wide, disbelieving eyes. “Try again,” I ordered himas I felt anger beginning to bubble up inside of me. But Luke only shook his head once more.


    “It’s not gonna work,” he said.


    “Maybe we can try again tomorrow.


    The hex is bound to wear off soon enough.” All T could do was gulp nervously while my friends stared at me with shocked, apologetic faces. We couldn’t wait until tomorrow... Enzo needed us now.


    something in me somehow knew that if didn’t get to him by tonight, gelena’s magic would grow too powerful and we''d lose Enzo, Richard, and the Alpha King.


    I felt utterly lost and hopeless.


    Once again, Selena had ced an obstacle right in our way.
