Chapter 38

Zenovia

I could not make out who it was, but I saw the outlines of a curvy figure and long hair swishing as she moved.

Wanting to get a better look. I slowly advanced towards his office. The lights were turned off so it helped me stay in the shadows.

The blinds were partially drawn, and the lights in his office were turned to a dim light. I could hear the slight rustling of fabric and papers, telling me he was doing something important.

I worried at my lower lip, thinking of what to do next.

The office door was slightly ajar so I could hear whispers but I could not really understand who was talking or what they were saying.

I looked around.

Except for me, there was nobody else in the broad passageway. Callahan’s office almost occupied the entire floor and there was also a lift to the far right.

I was about to crawl towards the door but then I saw the lift come up. Hastily, I hid behind a pillar and heard the doors open.

I craned my neck to see Matteo walk out of the lift. And he looked tense. Matteo was limping a little and he also was holding, his elbow with his other hand.

I looked intently at him and noticed that his shirt was torn on the side and his hair looked matted too.

It appeared that he had been in some fight.

Matteo walked in my direction and I immediately tried to crouch further behind the pillar, not wanting him to sense my

presence.

He knocked on the door and I heard Callahan’s voice, “Come in”

Matteo left the door slightly open and walked in, leaving a trail of droplets of blood.

I wanted to know what was going on so I went on all fours and took a peak inside.

The girl was seated in the far corner on a chair while Callahan was bent on his table. When he saw Matteo’s condition he immediately asked,

“What happened, Matt?”

Matteo walked forward and went to stand in front of Callahan. The door was still open and Matteo was hiding my view of the Lycan King.

So, I simply slid inside and hid behind a cupboard while all of them were busy talking to each other.
