Chapter 0348 Eventually, we came out into the dark kitchen. There was a skylight that allowed the light of the full moon to shine through, illuminating the I kitchen in a pale blue hue. It was a pretty kitchen, very old-fashioned, and I normally would have been excited to see such a beautiful house.


    But now, it just felt like a maze that could have danger lurking around every corner.


    However, as we continued down another hallway, it really did seem as though no one was stirring. If Selena was here, she was hiding herself well.


    No servants were awake and moving about, and only once or twice we quickly ducked into a different hallway or into an empty room when a guard


    walked past. It was surprisingly calm and quiet, and it seemed that security inside the building was a lot more rxed than outside.


    I couldn’t deny the fact that my heart was racing a mile a minute, though. I was certain that Selena would jump out at any moment and kill all three of us, which made me only hold onto Enzo even more tightly. His strong arm felt firm and steady beneath my grip, and when I nced up at him on asion, his eyes were glowing slightly red as he used his night vision. His face was solemn, and he waspletely focused on navigating us through this maze.


    At one point, we ducked into a small room to avoid a sleepy guard walking past, and we waited there for a few moments to get our bearings. The


    room seemed like a small library, with the walls made of bookshelves, a stained ss window on the far wall; and a table with chairs in the center.


    It felt strange being this close to my biological father. All my life, I always thought that my real parents were dead. I never even thought for a moment that even one of my parents could still be alive, let alone the Alpha King of the werewolves. Maybe that was what urged me to say what I said next; or maybe it was because of the fear that Selena could show up at any moment, and I wanted to employ the help of my father.

    “Maybe I should find the Alpha King,” [ whispered suddenly, shocked even at my own words. Luke and Enzo slowly turned to face me, their brows


    furrowed with confusion.


    “What are you talking about?” Enzo whispered, his voice almost a growl.


    “you want to go off on your own?” I shrugged. “The mansion is quiet.


    Maybe now would be a good time to show myself to him and get his help. I have a good feeling that, even if Selena does have a spell on him, I can break it as his daughter.” Neither Enzo nor Luke said anything for a few moments. I watched as they stared at me with wide eyes in the darkness, then nced at each other.


    Suddenly, Enzo’s head whipped around to face the door. All of us held our breath as we heard footsteps approaching; had someone heard us talking?


    Quickly, like ghosts in the night, the three of us scurried into the darkest corner of the room and waited there. It felt like an eternity as the heavy footsteps outside the door slowly approached, then stopped for the longest time in front of the door.


    I could hear the doorknob rattle, like someone put their hand on it, and I mped my own hand over my mouth in fear. My eyes were wide, and my chest felt full of guilt as I realized that I had alerted someone to our presence I by talking — all because of a stupid idea that I came up with in the moment because I was too emotional over knowing that my biological father was near.


    But, thankfully, the footsteps receded.


    Whoever that was never opened the door, and once we could no longer hear


    the footsteps, we all let out a collective sigh of relief.


    And yet, when I looked up at Enzo, he was still staring at me with rage burning in his eyes.


    “1 won’t let you leave my side,” he whispered.
