Chapter 208 The Start of The Horror Show

The lounge Lexi had taken Allen to was pretty much deserted at this time of day.

There weren’t too many people who enjoyed a liquid brunch at the enclave clearly, but

that served Lexi’s goals just fine.

‘I didn’t ask for your commentary on my choices that I clearly regret, Orvar.’ Allen

snapped as his mind went into overdrive.

continue when Lexi tutted impatiently at him

“Sorry, wolf talk…” Allen shrugged apologetically with a tight smile.

“You do realize that this whole talking to yourself thing makes you seem more than
