Chapter 266: The Ceremony

Nina

We held the Claiming ceremony that night at the cabins. It was a new moon, and the sky was dark.

At first, I didn’t actually expect many people to show up — if any. But slowly, as the night went on, more and more people flooded in. Most of them were students from the campus aside from a couple of townspeople, and surprisingly Enzo approved of all of them. By the time we decided to start the ceremony, there were at least fifty people in attendance.

However, just as we were about to begin the ceremony, I saw one last person shuffle up to the group. Their face was covered by the hood on their sweatshirt, and it was obvious that they were trying to hide; but with my new ability to see well in the dark, I saw them instantly. And I knew who it was, too.

“Selena?” I saw, walking up to the hooded figure. I heard her curse under her breath as she tried to walk away, but I quickly grabbed her wrist and held onto her tightly. “Selena, we just went over this earlier today. What don’t you understand?”

Selena groaned and pulled her hood down, giving me a dark look. “It’s not fair to exclude me,” she said. “Just let me go back to the way I was before. I won’t bother anyone. I hate being human.”

With a sigh, I looked up at Enzo, who had followed me over.

“C’mon, Selena,” he said, taking her by the arm. “I’m walking you home.” He started to guide her away from the group, but Selena struggled against him and almost seemed to snarl, as though she forgot for a moment that she wasn’t a werewolf.

“I have information!” she shouted as Enzo continued to lead her away. He was being more forceful now, as other people were starting to notice that something was happening. “Nina, just listen to me!”

Enzo stopped and looked over his shoulder at me. I was curious now, so I walked up to them and folded my arms across my chest.

“Alright,” I said, not fully believing her. “If you have information that can help us and prove that you’re on our side, I’ll let you turn back.” As I spoke, Enzo’s eyes widened as he looked at me.

“Seriously?” his voice echoed in my head.
