Enigma novel Chapter 27

“Why do we have to go and not Elliot?” Val whined beside me as we made our way to meet Uncle Ryder.

“Because Eros can’t be there, and he wouldn’t stay alone with Uncle Ryder.” I explained.

“This is so unfair.” She stomped her foot while little Eros bounced on my other side.

“I don’t mind.” Beth chimed. “I like Uncle Ryder.”

I shook my head at the two and kept walking.

Honestly, I just wanted to get away from there. Away from Zeno’s piercing gaze. He had been staring at me from the moment I entered the clearing. It made me really uncomfortable.

What does he even want from me? I never did anything to him. I never even paid any attention to him. He had just started giving snide remarks to me and it got worse in high school. I think he has some screw lose. How can a person be so rude to someone without any reason? If it was in my hands, I would have chucked him in a psychiatric facility and asked the doctors to put him through intensive shock therapy. That might have been useful to fix his twisted head.

“Uncle Ryder.” Beth squealed and ran towards the massive wolf spirit.

Uncle Ryder’s eyes twinkled.

“Hello pup. You seem excited to meet me.” He said amused.

Val and Eros cowered behind me.

“I am.” Beth grinned. “Why did you call me pup?”

“Well you are my sister’s pup, aren’t you?”

Uncle Ryder looked utterly confused.

“But I am a vampire.” Beth whined very unlike Beth.

“Off course you are but I will still call you pup.”

Two more spirit wolves came out of the tree line and sat beside Ryder. Beth looked at them curiously while Val and Eros clutched onto me painfully.

“Hey Xan. Hi Ajax.” I greeted.

“Hi Aria.” Xander said excitedly while Ajax nodded.

“I didn’t know you two were coming as well.”
