CHAPTER 20

CALEB’S POV

“You have to decide quickly Caleb. The Dark Lord is getting restless by the day. He has left a reminder for you.” Meredith said entering with a huge box.

I took the box from her and opened it with trembling hands only to shut it back quickly.

“What’s inside?” Meredith asked, opening the lid of the box but I grabbed her hand and shook my head, and whispered, “Vondur…”

“No!! How can he do that?” Meredith said massaging her head.

Exhaling deeply, I said, “He is famous for his ruthlessness…”

“Does that mean we have no choice in this matter?”

“Don’t worry! I will think of a way…” I reassured her but the fact was that I was stuck with him unless a better choice presented itself before me.

“Alpha Caleb, Ummm….”

“Speak up! I don’t have all day.” I said casting a sideward glance at the guard who was standing with his head bowed.

“Umm…”

“Do you want me to seal your lips so that it can only say ‘Umm!” I asked in an irritated voice.
