One by one, all of us went through the portal and entered into the werewolf realm.

When we came out on the other side, we were back in the forest. I immediately recognized the location that we came out of the portal as the same spot where my friends and I camped out when we were looking for Enzo. It was incredibly dark the last time we were there due to the spell cast on the forest by Selena and the witch, but I recognized the small sloping hill surrounded by tall pine trees. In fact, as I walked further into the center of the clearing, I was able to find the circle of rocks from our last campfire.

It had snowed since then, and the ground was covered in a light dusting of white powder. Around me, the new recruits who had never been to the werewolf realm before looked around with awe at their new surroundings.

“Where are we?” one girl asked as she looked around at the dark green scenery of the forest mixed with the white of the snow, which was illuminated by the full moon; I quickly realized that the moon here was always full, which I found interesting. At home, it was a waxing crescent at that very moment.

By now, Enzo was standing by my side silently with an angry expression on his face and with his muscular arms folded across his chest. I knew that he was disappointed in me. I never should have let Selena come with us, and I knew that… But at the same time, I didn’t have a bad feeling about it. In the werewolf realm, the power of our twin bond felt stronger. I didn’t get a feeling that she was up to something bad; rather, I sensed that she was up to something else. I didn’t know what it was exactly, but it didn’t feel sinister. Maybe she was just running for the sake of running, or maybe she had a plan. Either way, even if she was up to something bad, we didn’t have

The path became more difficult, and soon we were headed uphill to where the Alpha King’s mansion lay.
