Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Ready to Begin

“If you’re going to be such a wimp about it, I’ll say it,” Leo announced, breaking the tense silence that had fallen over us.

Callum sighed, shoulders slumping in defeat as he said nothing.

I glanced between them, confusion growing. “Say what?”

Leo rolled his eyes dramatically. “There have been reports of a certain blonde vampire lurking around near Emberfang territory.” His voice dripped with disdain. “Thought you should know, considering it’s your wedding day.”
