Chapter 86: _Most Miserable
Later that night, I got dressed in a beautiful white nightgown and waited patiently for Marcellus to arrive.
I haven’t caught sight of Kaelos since our last encounter this morning. I tried asking Caroline but she said he was probably busy with his Alpha King duties.
But my instincts told me there was something more at foot.
"Did you hear about pack doctor Abel’s wife?" A maid asked another one when I lingered around the hallway.
I headed back to my room after collecting a bottle of wine from the kitchen downstairs.
Anyway, I dimmed my ears, my interest piqued as I strained myself to listen to the conversation.
"Yeah, people said they saw her burnt corpse in front of their house. But the Alpha King and his council outlawed anyone from going there until the investigations are complete."
Shit... Another murder?
I gritted my teeth, deciding to quicken my pace and look away from them.
I already know who they would blame for this.
"It’s so frightening how two women have died since you know who showed up." One maid whispered and I could feel them staring at my back.
