Chapter One Hundred and Twerdy Boln

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight

I was alone in Axel’s room; there had been an emergency and Axel had to go. He did tell me he would be back soon, but it had been five hours already.

I took the envelope and walked out, heading to the room I had shared with Thane.

I stopped before the door; maybe I should have waited for Axel’s return before leaving, but it was too late to turn back now.

I pushed the door open and walked in.

“Thane, we need to talk!” I called out; I knew someone was in the room, and just then I spotted Bailey seated on the couch, wrapped in a robe… Thane’s robe.

I swallowed.

“Elder Bailey, what are you doing here?” I asked, and my voice sounded shaky even to my own ears. She took a drag from the cigarettes she held.
