CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
ENZO’s POV.
AN HOUR AGO.
As soon as I shut the door, I slump on the floor and bury my face in my hands. Today was just as hectic as the day before but right now that is the least of my problems right now.
It is already past eight and any moment from now, I will be experiencing the worst pain ever and the worst primal instinct ever.
For the past ten years, this has been my comfort zone. This has been the room that held my pain and anxiety for the past ten years and here I am today, trying to hide away from the world as usual.
A soft knock on the door jolts me out of my train of thought and immediately her scent filters into my nose, I immediately know who is behind the door and my wolf growls inside of me.
“Go away, Izzy” I tell her, “I am not in the mood to listen to talk to anyone”
“You can not just hide in there Enzo, come out and let’s talk about this”
“Go and take care of yourself, Izzy” I tell her again, “we will talk in the morning”
This is the place I am meant to be, away from the world where I will not be able to hurt or harm anyone no matter what. This is the room that has held me captive for years and I prefer it this way.
My phone screen lights up again and when I see it is still Michelle calling, I pick up the phone and toss it into a drawer before slamming it shut. She doesn’t have to see me in this state and I am not going to allow it.
My thoughts are interrupted again when I hear another knock on my door.
“I know you are probably going to hate me for this, Enzo” it is Izzy, “but I am going to call Michelle and I hope she comes”
“Do not call her or I swear I will make you regret it” I grit in anger as I ball my hands into a fist.
“I love you too, brother”
As her footsteps die away from the hallway, I close my eyes and press my head against the door.
“Don’t let her come here, I beg of you” I mutter under my breath, I hope the one above is listening.
After about ten minutes, I finally grab the chain lying on the ground next to me and chain myself as usual,then I close my eyes again waiting for my pain and agony to begin.
Suddenly my eyes flutter open when her scent filters into my nose and my wolf howls deep inside of me.
“No” I mumble to myself as her scent becomes more intense for me and at this moment my wolf is beginning to cause chaos inside of me.
As swift as lightning, my limbs begin to shift and my muscles begin to riple underneath my skin causing intense pain and discomfort, my hands contort together and my razor sharp claws burst out of me leaving me panting as the pain of changing into my original form surges through my body.
My face elongates and my jaw stretches into a stout giving rise to my fangs which protrude out of my mouth.this leaves me standing hideous and evil, a perfect balance between my humanity and my animalistic nature.
Now standing in my original form, I become more aware of my surroundings and how I want to break every single thing to the ground.
But the thin line between humanity and my wolf has not been blurred yet. I can still feel that scent, the one that still lingers that I want to get away from.
The scent becomes more and more intense and like a speed of light, I grab onto the chain and smash it into pieces.
This is the first time my wolf is reacting like this ever since the moon goddess laid her curse on me and I know it is because of the scent lingering.
Part of me wants to see her and fill my lungs with her scent but part of me wants to run away as far as I can to avoid hurting her, a feeling I know will only last for a moment.
With each passing moment, I can feel her presence become intense and my wolf growls in pain.
As soon as I hear her step on the hallway, I didn’t wait anymore before blasting open the walls and going out.
I know for a fact that I might just hurt her if I keep waiting for her.
But here she is, still running after me despite the fact that I have told her to go home.
Everything about her is so intoxicating and I just want to sink my fangs into her and watch her collapse but something inside of me is stopping me.
Just a while back, the two ladies who were tied together at the courtyard had to suffer a terrible fate but this lady, this one running towards me, I have an instinct to protect her from myself and my wolf.
I am slowly losing the remaining bit of consciousness and humanity I have left and i know this might be her last chance if I keep lingering around further:
Because of this, I gather speed and run towards the forest, away from this gripping scent that makes me want to turn back to her.
The more I run into the forest, the more her scent continues to get to me, making me howl and growl into the noisy night.
“You can not keep running away” my wolf tells my human self deeply locked inside of myself but I have to, to save her from myself.
I stopped abruptly when I hear a piercing sound behind me and when I turn, my amber eyes dim for a moment.
There she is, standing in her full glory as a white wolf. Something inside of me strikes and I can not even make a move again, my eyes just remain fixated on her and watch her come towards me.
“Stop running away from me, Enzo” her voice resonates in my head.
“Go away” I tell her, “lest I make a mess of you”
“Not a chance”
She lunges at me almost immediately and I am taken aback for a moment as she crashes into me and we both fall against a huge tree making the both of us howl in pain.
The white wolf didn’t even wait for me to pull my body off the ground before sinking her teeth into my shoulder making me immobile for a moment.
Everything about her flashes in my head as her teeth come in contact with my body but the urge to push her away and make a mess of her is becoming too strong and overwhelming for me.
“Aren’t you a daring white wolf?” Anger surges through my body and I shove her off with so much intensity and at that moment, I feel a spark inside of me.
She lands on both legs and begins to run towards me again, this time in an attempt to lock me in combat which makes my wolf growl in amusement, what an interesting Luna.
As soon as she comes at me, she grabs one of my legs and push me with so much force that I fall against a tree making the whole forest shake to its foundation and this is when she sinks her claws into my chest region and I shove her off almost immediately with so much intensity that her wolf leaps into the air.
A feeling of familiarity surges through me almost immediately like I am supposed to protect and not hurt her, As swift as lightning, before her body comes in contact with the ground, I catch her mid air and she lands on my body transforming back into her human form and a slight groan leaves my lips when I see her covered in blood.
“At this rate, you are going to kill me if you do not come back to your senses” her weak feeble voice reach my ear as my eyes travel down her naked body, “please Enzo” immediately she closes her eyes and her hands fall limpy by my side and for fuck sake, I have never been more confused in my life.
