Chapter 164: Empty graves (2)
When Lucas arrived, he found Xavier standing around the graveyard without any bodies in sight.
"Lord Blackthorn! You dug them up already. Where did you place them?" Lucas asked, looking around for the couple.
"They are gone and I can’t get a scent for them. It’s like they were never here and the caretaker can’t remember when last he saw someone coming around to ask about them. I’m trying to think," Xavier said.
Taking Selene to see her other family might help but Xavier started to think of her grandfather not wanting her to go there.
If they were to know Selene could heal, would they try to keep her there? They had every right to protect Selene and to keep their secret but Xavier wouldn’t allow it.
Selene shouldn’t be hidden away in some corner of the kingdom.
Lucas got down into the hole with the open coffin to try picking up a scent but he couldn’t find anything. "This is a time you should have a werewolf working for you but they’ll attack us and not listen. What do we do now?"
Xavier closed his eyes. "I am trying to think," he repeated.
It would be good for them if Selene’s grandfather was still a wanderer. He might be the most sensible person to reach out to.
