The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Trapped Between Hunters

I could not move.

The file lay at my feet like a crime I had been caught with. The sound of the papers falling still rang in my ears.

Their eyes did not leave me.

Aeron stepped forward first. He did not speak. He only pointed at the chair in the center of the hall. His gaze was enough. It told me what to do.

My throat was dry. My legs shook. Still, I obeyed. I would not want to raise their suspicion more toward me.

Slowly, I walked to the chair and sat down. My heart beat so hard that I thought it would break through my chest.
