Chapter 256: Togetherness

Enzo and I both looked at each other, our eyes wide and our mouths open.

“How long until they get here?” Enzo asked, quickly stepping out of the rink and going over to the bench to remove his skates. I followed, although when I tried to untie my skates, my hands were shaking so much that I could hardly manage it. Enzo, noticing this, got down on his knees and untied them for me.

“A few hours, probably,” Luke replied. “I don’t know if they’re coming straight here, or what their plan is. They might try to ambush us in the middle of the night. They don’t know that we know they’re coming. If it wasn’t for my spies that I have scattered around various towns, I would have no idea.”

I didn’t bother to ask when or how Luke hired spies, but I didn’t care about the logistics. Thanks to his preparedness, we now had a jump start on the upcoming attack.

“Is it just one pack?” I asked. “How big?”

“It was about twenty rogues, with one leader,” Luke replied.

Enzo and I looked at each other again. That was a big pack for rogues, and the last time we saw a pack that big was when we hid on the side of the road in the werewolf realm. I swallowed, noticing the enormous lump that grew in my throat, and looked back at Luke.
