The servant explained, "It belongs to Master Hayden."

Hayden and Niall swapped rooms, and Zeus, picking up a familiar scent, darted out.

He didn't enter the room but waited at the door, so Hattie, who was sneaking upstairs, bumped into him.

She got a big bump on her head and was utterly fuming.

Her plans for the night were ruined, and the noise attracted the servants, leaving her no chance to go back upstairs.

"I'll just go back to my room," she mumbled.

The servants thought it was odd but didn't say anything.
