Chapter 33 : I’ve Been Waiting for Ten Years

*Soren*

As much as I wanted to see what was in the box, I had a feeling Mila would prefer to look it over on her own. Besides, I caught a familiar scent and I had something important to check up on.

The door to my room clicked shut and I saw Thomas lounging casually, leaning against the wall outside my room.

“Thomas, it is good to see you.” I grinned and helped my hand out.

Thomas smirked and ignored my hand. He pulled me in for a quick hug.

“Don’t be so formal, Soren, we’ve known each other too long for that,” Thomas teased.

I rolled my eyes and gave him a one-armed hug.

“It is rare that you reach out to me these days,” Thomas said. “Regarding that thing you asked me to look–”

I held up a hand and shook my head, silencing him.

“Did you book a room?”

“Of course.”

“We’ll talk there,” I said.

“What’s wrong with your room?” Thomas asked, nodding to the door behind me.

I thought of Mila in my room, eagerly reading through the journal and looking over the items in the box.

“It is occupied,” I grumbled.

Thomas grinned and nodded. “Ahh, I see.” He chuckled and clapped a hand on my shoulder.

“Let’s just go to your room,” I insisted.

Thomas nodded and led the way. He switched to the mindlink as we walked. Since he was the only person here from my old pack, we could still use the mindlink.

‘I looked into that woman, Helen, like you asked. She’s a witch, did you know?” Thomas asked.

‘I just found out but I did suspect,’ I admitted through the mindlink.

We got to Thomas’s room and he shut and locked the door. In the corner, there was an old stereo and he put on some music. Soft enough so we could talk freely but loud enough to keep anyone else from listening in.

“Well, she disappeared many years ago and people of Miltern were forbidden from mentioning her,” Thomas informed me.

I stroked my chin and nodded. “Perhaps that’s why April couldn’t bring her up until Mila did.”

“What was that?” Thomas asked.

I shook my head. “Just thinking aloud. Tell me what you know.”
