Chapter 83

I could hear the blood rushing through my ears. My heart was pounding violently in my chest but I managed to nod.

She exited the office and returned with a small envelope. It was neatly wrapped with a bow on top of it and on it was the most beautiful cursive writing of my name. I reached out for it but Kai grabbed it before my fingers could get in contact with it.

“Thank you,” he said to his secretary. “That’s all.”

The dismissal was clear as day in his tone. She didn’t wait for any other words, she just turned on her heels and walked out, slamming the door shut behind her.

Once she was gone, I tried to retrieve the envelope from Kai, but he held it out of my reach.

“If it’s from the hunter, he could have put something on the envelope,” he said simply. “My immune system is much better than yours, especially considering that you were just sick.”

I wanted to refute and argue with him on it, but I quickly realized that he was right. There were very few things that could hurt a lycan, but there were a lot of things that could easily kill me.

Kai opened the envelope carefully, and I watched as his eyes scanned the details of it. I waited impatiently, trying to read his expression, but his face was like cold marble. It was like trying to read a fucking statue.

“It doesn’t make sense!” he exclaimed finally, throwing his hands into the air. “It’s a bunch of scribbles.”

I could feel his frustration… or maybe it was my own, I couldn’t be sure.

“Let me see,” I managed out.

Kai didn’t speak, he just handed the envelope to me.

At first, I saw exactly what he saw, a bunch of random words and lines scribbled across both sides of the page, but something about it looked familiar. I squinted, trying to get a better look of the picture.

“There’s no use, it’s rubbish,” Kai said but I ignored him. “Fucking bastard. He’s just toying with us. He fucking gets off on it.”

It looked too precise to be casual.

I folded the edge carefully, like I used to as a child. I squared each edge until I got to the center, and once I was done, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“The bastard,” I hissed out. “It’s not scribbles, Kai, it’s the map he promised.”

Kai turned to me, his brows furrowed in confusion. “How is that a map?”

“We used to do it as kids in the pack. We would hide snacks that we weren’t allowed to have in the pack house. If we didn’t want the adults to find out about it, we would make these maps. It looked like stupid scribbles but when you fold the edges,”

I trailed off, showing Kai just how I did it.

The map only had three major places. There was a house, but I wasn’t sure if it symbolized the pack house or our house, knowing this hunter, it could be either.

The second place was a pack of trees by a stream, and the third, where a large X was, showed the image of what seemed to be a weird looking rock.

“Are we supposed to just follow it?” Scarlett asked and I shrugged.

“I’ll follow it,” Kai said, snatching the map out of my hands. “There’s a stream not far from the pack house, I’ll check there first.”

“I figured it out. He used something from my childhood.”

“Exactly. This hunter seems to have a particular interest in you and I’ll be damned if I let you get even closer to him than you already are. How the fuck could he have known about the map?”

I shrugged. “Maybe Lucas told him. He was the one who… are you still on the phone with Damien?”

He nodded. “Why?”

I didn’t give him a chance to speak, I took the phone from him. “Were there any random pieces of paper in Lucas’ room or office?”

“I don’t remember, I’ll have to check.”

“Check his trash too. He may have sent secret notes or letters to the hunter using this format as well. It would explain why we haven’t found anything.”

“I’m on it. Good job, sweetheart.”

He hung up without another word and I sighed deeply. We seemed to have just taken a step forward, my only hope was that

it would yield positive results. Although, in this case, I wasn’t sure what positive looked like.

“I’m checking out this map,” Kai said to me. “Go home with Scarlett.”

“But-”

“I don’t want to argue with you, princess. Go home, please.”

I wanted so badly to argue, but I decided against it at the last minute. “Fine, at least go with guards.”

He kissed the top of my head. “I will. Text me when you get home, princess.”

He left the office, leaving Scarlett and I alone.

For a long minute, neither of us said anything, we just stared at each other, the air stretching with each passing second. She was hard to read, there was hopefulness on her face, but also frustration.

“Should we follow him?” she asked after a moment of silence.

“He’ll be fucking pissed.”
