Chapter 29 - Another Complication

ASTRID'S POV: 

We walked back into the room together.

The moment I crossed the doorway, the memory hit me again — the shadow in the corner, the voice near my ear, the weight of someone stronger than me.

I wrapped my arms around myself.

The beta positioned himself beside the door, back straight, eyes fixed forward like a statue.

Minutes passed.

The room felt different now. Smaller. Colder.

Sleep was impossible.

"Did you see anyone pass?" I asked quietly.

"No."

"Smell anyone?"

"No."

That sent a chill down my spine.

Because I hadn't smelled him either.

And werewolves always left a scent.

Unless…

I pushed the thought away.

"You don't talk much, do you?" I said.

"I was told not to."

"By Desmond?"

"Yes."

Of course.

"Do all the Alpha Kings give the same orders?" I asked.

"Yes."

That was interesting.

The silence returned, stretching longer this time.

"You're not scared?" I asked.

"I am terrified," he admitted.

I almost smiled.

"At least you're honest."
