Even Callahan’s eyes widened as he saw the photos in Elijah’s hands. We were a few feet above Elijah, who was standing on the ground floor, but the photos were hard to miss.

Callahan’s grip on my hand loosened, and he gripped the railing of the

“When?” He asked as I saw his face become angry and he climbed down the stairs hastily. I too followed him as Callahan took the photos from Elijah.

“I just got news of it and came here to report to you.”

Callahan examined the photos carefully and asked, “Where did this happen?”

Elijah replied, “Somewhere in the south. The packs were trying to hide it, but one of my men found it when I sent him to check on any suspicious activity.”

Callahan did not say anything to that immediately, but the way his eyes scanned the photograph told me he had the same question that had popped up in my mind.

He looked up to ask a few questions, but saw Martha walk out of her quarters and bow to him.

“Oh, you are awake, my King. Just wanted to check if you needed some tea/coffee.”

She tried hard to suppress the yawn, working up her throat by hiding her mouth with a hand.

Callahan hid the photos from her direct view and answered, “No, it is fine. You go rest.”

But she still insisted.

“You haven’t eaten much either. Are you sure you don’t need me to cook something quickly?”

Elijah answered before Callahan could.

Callahan slapped the photos on Elijah’s chest in mock anger as Elijah grinned at him.
