Zane POV ~
"I see…" he murmured, his cold expression unchanged. "I want to see you at the library tomorrow. We didn't finish our discussion last time as Alfie interrupted us."
My heart dropped.
I don't want to go to the damn library! I cried internally. Not that place again!
"If you refuse," Knox continued coolly, "I'll take it as a sign that you're afraid of me. Which would mean you lied....lied to your master. And you know what happens when a servant lies to their master, don't you?"
The threat hit me hard , sending waves of dread crashing through my chest.
"I'm not scared of you, Alpha Knox," I said quickly, trying to compose myself. "It's the dead bodies at the library that frighten me. Doctor Simon said I should avoid anything that triggers shock or fear. Going to your library is like voluntarily stepping into death itself. I can't risk that...not before I fulfill my purpose for my masters."
I forced another smile, hoping it would mask the panic I felt rising in my chest.
