Chapter 99

Callahan’s shirt smelled divine. It still had his lingering scent, and I could still recall the way he had raked his my body when I was with him.

There was a definite joy in my body language as I climbed up the stairs, happily humming a tune to myself.

I had reached the floor when I heard a voice.

“Did you see the Lycan King?” She asked, while returning her attention back to the file. But then she abruptly looked at me again, as if noticing me for the first time.

Or the thing I was wearing. I believe she thought I was just wearing some oversized, baggy shirt or something, but then she peered intently at it.

I would have loved tormenting her some more, but then a voice called out from behind me.

“Zee, where have you been?”
