Chapter 100 I’ve got you now.

Enzo moved Doris behind him and tried to position her out of sight without making it seem obvious. She noticed a bit of his own panic seep through his gaze. This all happened because of her. If she hadn’t come on this trip, she couldn’t have been kidnapped and Enzo wouldn’t have been in trouble with his own people for letting William stay. Always her fault, wasn’t it? “Don’t think you need to be a hero for me today, Doris. You being here is enough and I know how to handle them when they’re like this. Don’t worry for me, promise?.” Enzo whispered. Doris didn’t get a chance to respond before he turned to face the arriving carriages with the rest of the villagers. As it was, none of them wanted to leave Enzo’s side. They cared too much about their kind leader and Doris was glad of that at least. He was a great man to be loyal to. She almost thought the same of William before he left. But now wasn’t a time to dwell on that, she should have known better. At the front of the crowd was a man with grey and black hair that was tied back in a bun on his head. He looked a bit older than Enzo and a bit shorter too. Was this the man that Doris had heard in his office earlier? It had to be. “Enzo, you look like you’re ready for a fight.” The man said with a bit of false kindness. He flashed his sharp teeth at his leader and Doris instantly placed the voice to who she thought it was “I suppose it’s a good thing I am. I didn’t expect a large portion of my pack to show up in the middle of the night.” Enzo placed his hands behind his back calmly and kept a light air to his words. “What brings you all here tonight? Our next full moon party isn’t for another week.” The man looked through the crowd with a sharpness that felt like a blade across her skin when his sight stopped on her before continuing on. He hadn’t seen her at Life Pharmacy, that was a small relief on its own but it wasn’t enough to convince her it would all be fine. “I heard you had a few interesting visitors in your village recently. It’s been said that you’re keeping the prince here nice and safe. That couldn’t be true, could it? Our leader would never let that happen.” “He was here, he left a while ago.” Enzo said easily. “He came through for a chat and asked to wait out a storm. I didn’t see the harm in it, I allowed it.” “How could you let our enemies sleep among us? How could you offer them safety and protection when they’ve killed so many of our people just trying to live? Don’t our lives mean anything to you?” “The prince wished no harm on me or my villagers, he came for peace and I chose to hear him out as your leader since your lives are my top priority.” Enzo said with an edge to his voice. Doris tried to stay blended in the crowd but she swore she felt eyes on her. “I know you don’t agree with my take at leadership, but it doesn’t excuse unnecessary violence to anyone. Even the prince.” “No harm? I heard how many of our rogues he killed looking for some girl. How is that peaceful?” The man roared.   gol you now.

because of it. If any of you had your wife or child taken, you would do the same.” Enzo said. “All I hear is you excusing him killing our wolves! A true leader would want revenge, not let him sweet talk his way in their favor! Why was he here, Enzo? To get information out of you?” “He

out of the crowd and spoke in the man’s ear, Doris felt her insides freeze over when she recognized him. It was the guard that caught William kissing her in the halls.
