Draven.
Meredith has learned to lie to me with a straight face.
She must take me for a fool if she thinks that I believe that lie she told about the reason she was looking into Valmora.
We struck a deal, but she decided to be crafty about it by not keeping her side of it.
"Our mate has changed indeed," Rhovan agreed, sounding a little disappointed.
"How so?" I probed, hoping to hear something new apart from what I had already observed.
"Her scar is healing, almost completed. She also no longer looks so simple as before. I can’t really point it out, but there is something a tad bit different about her aura."
Meredith’s scar was healing which was correct. As for her aura, I didn’t notice anything apart from her bravery in lying to my face and breaking the trust.
I wonder why Rhovan didn’t mention about it.
Did he choose to overlook it or did it never register on his mind?
"She suddenly asked about Valmora, the wolf of our first female warrior and wolf Queen today. What do you think she is up to?" I asked Rhovan.
He yawned lazily in my head before replying, "I don’t know what you two talked about. I was sleeping."
His response was disappointing. Very disappointing.
Most times he was helpful with important information but those few times he didn’t have any, usually drove me crazy.
"You were sleeping yet you knew something had changed about her," I fired in a mock tone.
"I caught up with the last conversation and then her aura," he explained.
I didn’t know what to say for almost a whole minute.
"You are really slacking off with information."
"You must think that I jump out of your head once in a while to gather information."
Rhovan’s sarcastic response had me breathing fire through my nostrils.
He was right in some way. Maybe, I was really putting a questionable amount of pressure on him.
As soon as I stepped out of my office, I saw Azul. She mentioned about serving Meredith some snacks and drinks and I gave her the permission.
With Dennis and Jeffery in charge of training the warriors today, I saw no need to return to the training grounds and instead, went for my bedroom.
The scent of Lavender hit my nose as soon as I walked in. My gaze darted across the room and saw faint drizzling of smoke rising from the ashtray, and Meredith was no where in sight.
I crossed the room in long strides for the table and caught a glimpse of the ashes on the tray.
It looked like the little woman had been busy, doing everything else except studying the History book she took from my shelf.
There was a small piece left form what she had been burning, so, I picked it up and squinted at it.
Your wolf.
