She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The rain outside hadn't stopped, tapping rhythmically against the stone walls.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Seraphina instinctively looked in the direction of the door, her pupils slightly contracting.
She recalled Wyatt Yardley's warnings before he left.
Never open the door to an unfamiliar male during your heat.
Even if someone familiar is calling from outside, don't be easily convinced.
Besides, Wyatt and Isaac never knock when they come back.
They would come in directly or call for her with a message.
The visitor...
Was definitely suspicious.
She didn't move or respond, just kept her ears attuned to the sounds outside the door.
Gideon's voice came from outside.
"Who is it? Late at night, in the rain, disturbing the peace! You tired of living?"
Heavy footsteps sounded as if vibrations were coming through the ground.
Seraphina listened behind the curtain to the commotion outside.
