Chapter 227: Secondary Rescue

“We can’t stay here,” Enzo said, his arm still firmly wrapped around me as he addressed the rest of the group. “It’s too dangerous.”

Enzo was right. If Selena and the witch were still looking for him, it was dangerous to be out here in the dark. Maybe it would be best to get home first and regroup before we came back on another mission to save Richard and the Alpha King.

“I can open portals now,” I said, stepping back from Enzo a bit to look at him. “I can get us out of here. And Luke learned a hex to put on Selena that will temporarily stop her from opening one, so it’ll give us a head start if she tries to follow us.”

Enzo’s eyes widened momentarily as I told him that I could open portals, but at the same time, he shook his head. “I can’t just leave my dad here,” he said. “Now that I can remember everything, I remember that he didn’t look so good when I was staying in the mansion with Selena. I think she might be putting spells on him or even poisoning him.”

“Won’t she just put another spell on you again if she finds you, though?” Matt asked. “Don’t you… I don’t know… Need to prepare so she can’t manipulate you again?”

Once again, Enzo shook his head. “No. I think that her spell this time was so strong because it was her last ditch effort to control me. Now that I have you guys and was able to break through a spell that strong, I think I have too much mental fortitude now for her to succeed.”

I couldn’t help but smile a bit at Enzo’s words. To hear that he was free now from Selena’s manipulation made me happy. At the same time, however, there was always a possibility that she would try another dirty trick. Maybe she would even try to kill one of us. If she really was practicing black magic along with her werewolf abilities, then that probably meant that nothing would stop her from getting what she wanted.

I finally said, looking around at the group. “We’ll go on a secondary mission to save
