Chapter 121

Zenovia

I tore my eyes away from Callahan as Drusilla grabbed my hand and began dragging me.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

Drusilla grabbed the car keys from the office table and muttered, “Do you think we can perform the ritual in this office? Duh!”

She flicked my forehead, and I rubbed it as she continued to drag me down the stairs and towards the garage.

The garage door opened when she clicked a button and I saw several cars, all sleek and shiny, waiting for us.

“Feeling fancy today?” Drusilla asked, and I shrugged.

I did not understand much about cars or luxury, so they all looked pretty high-end to me.

“Today is a special day, so let us drive you in a special car.”

“Drive me where?” I asked and again she shook her head.

“Will you stop trying to ruin my surprise? I am setting up the mood.” She. pouted.

I looked around, but Callahan hadn’t followed us. “Is the Lycan King not coming with us?” I asked.

The anchor bond had to be established between me and him, right? So, we had to do the ritual together.

“He needed some time to cool off. So, he would join us directly there.”

“Where is there?” I tried again, but she simply unlocked the doors of a car and shoved me in.

“Ow,” I rubbed my elbow when it lightly hit the door.

“Sorry. It is just that I am both nervous and excited. I have been asking him for days…no…years to listen to me. He never did. I spent countless hours locked in a room, studying the visions and trying to analyze a
