A Mysterious Journal
I took it in one hand and Sonya in the other
Then I examined the chamber more carefully.
It wasn’t large, and it seemed to have only one entrance… Or so I thought, until a faint breeze stirred one of the tapestries.
“Another passage?” I whispered
I walked toward the enormous tapestry depicting a Lycan howling at the moon and pulled it aside.
There it was.
Another door, with an indentation shaped perfectly for Sonya’s hilt.
Obviously, only someone carrying this sword could gain access to this hidden study.
The door opened in front of me.
It was time to leave that mysterious place.
I glanced back one last time, making sure I hadn’t missed anything important, though something told the Sonya had guided me there for one reason.
To find the journal of her former owner.
My gaze settled on the beast’s face one last time.
Why did those eyes look so much like Blaze’s whenever he lost control?
I could feel it.
I was close to uncovering his secrets, and I wouldn’t stop until I did.
But when I started down the narrow passage and was about to unlock the final bookcase blocking my way out, I heard a voice on the other side.
! froze.
“Are you certain about that information?” the Matriarch asked from beyond the hidden wall. “So she ended up falling in love with her slave?”
“Yes, Madam. Lady Marion confirmed it. She says she knows her former servant very well. She also saw them having sex in one of the hidden viewing alcoves overlooking the ballroom.”
My fist clenched with rage.
That nosy, voyeuristic bitch.
They were obviously talking about Blaze and me.
“Mmm… I see. Let’s return to the ball.” I heard footsteps moving dangerously close to where I stood.
I dared to lean forward and look through a narrow crack.
The Matriarch walked past with firm, measured steps.
But when she reached the exact spot in front of me… She stopped.
My heart lurched.
I was terrified she could hear how hard it was beating. I tried to hide my Estingia aura.
My scent.
Then I saw her turn her head…
And look directly at the place where I was spying on her.
