Meredith.
I folded the letter up and slipped it back inside the envelope.
Azul had offered to help me hold the History book, but the reminder of Draven’s instructions rang consistently in my head to the extent I unconsciously refused her.
"I will be in Draven’s room," I said to Azul the minute I was able to finally able to hold the book properly, hugging them in my arms. "I’ve got an important reading to do. But I will return to my room towards evening."
I wasn’t really sure about returning to my bedroom because of my heat. It’s bene a surprise that it hasn’t flared up since I woke up this morning.
Because normally, I would suffer for a few days before it completely disappeared.
Azul’s gaze fell on the book before quickly moving back to my face. She smiled
"Would you like me to bring anything from the kitchen?" she inquired.
I thought for a moment before answering, "Water, fruits, juice, uhm... butter milk cookies or any light snacks at all."
"Okay, my lady." She bowed slightly before adding, "I will get the Alpha’s permission."
I understood Azul needing Draven’s permission before bringing me the things I asked for. He was probably someone who didn’t like letting other people into his personal space.
And it was obvious with the rule he gave about me needing to use his home office.
I panted for breath as I finally arrived at Draven’s bedroom.
Just like my wolf had pointed out my weakness, I don’t think I could survive having a room up here. I wouldn’t even bother coming downstairs for anything.
My eyes searched Draven’s room, looking for something in particular until I found it at the table close to the floor-to-ceiling drawn curtains.
I quickly made my way over and set the book and the letter down before glancing at the candle and the neat ashtray next to it.
There was a lighter inside the tray. And that would make my work easier.
Walking back to the living area, I scrambled through the supplies Azul had put together for me and found the small lavender oil bottle I had seen earlier while picking up my clothes.
I took it, returned every other item into the bag before walking back to the high table.
Then over the next minute, I withdrew the letter from the envelope and smeared some of the lavender oil on the empty part. Then I blew air over it with my mouth before lighting the candle and placing the letter above the light.
Slowly, words began to appear on the empty space, eliciting a triumphant smile from my lips.
I knew Grandma wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble just to send me two lines of message. She always had a more important message hidden like gem.
And she was the one who taught me how to unveil her secret letters during my two-year stay with her. I was the only one in my family she sent letters to, and that too, using this trick.
Grandma is the only one in my family who loves me for who I am. She protected me when others scorned and abandoned me. And I will protect her with my life.
If Draven was so sure that all the Faes had been eradicated, then I can’t let him know about my grandma.
