Enigma novel Chapter 34

“I need to talk to the kids that will be shifting.” I said firmly as I stood outside the cabin.

“Who all are shifting?” Leo asked timidly.

“If it’s up to me only three of them will be shifting. As there is no other choice but to let Zeno shift, it will be him, Francis and Fabian. I am not sure about Ben, Ethan, Lucas, Hudson and Archer. There is no need for them to shift but the three boys would want to fight and as they don’t have the Alpha, Ben would have to lead them. As for Ben, he doesn’t do anything without his twin. We have more chances of a good battle with them together than separate. If Lucas, Archer and Hudson complies with not shifting, only three people will be shifting.” I explained.

“Well that sounds complicated. How are you going to merge all these wolves in so less time? It will take a toll on you. We do have a battle to fight.” Carter voiced.

“We don’t have a choice, do we? I can say that we have at most of a week to prepare. Those two guys dying will alert them. Aria told me they seemed to be scouting in private. We need to hurry up.”

He nodded. I was about to talk when I heard movement in the woods. Everyone went into defense mode. Are the demons attacking us now? We are not even slightly ready. We waited for the intruder to show themselves in a tense silence.

I sighed in relief as the first person broke out of the tree line into the clearing. She was followed by another and five more people joined them.

“Cass you scared the shit out of us.” I complained.

The evil witch cackled at our state and plastered a smirk on her face when she was done laughing at our expense. Grayson shook his head at his wife with an amused smile. Sometimes I pity him.

“Well we couldn’t miss the fun. We made our way here as soon as I saw what was to come. I picked up this vampire family on the way. I thought they would be useful. We can use as many hands as we can get on the battle field.” Cassidy’s smirk went wide as she pointed towards the Knight family.

The Knights looked like they would rather be anywhere else than here. Especially Alexander. His face had turned into hauntingly void of any emotions.
