_A Lot Of Work To Be Done

Marcellus POV

*****

After sticking around Odessa for as long as possible during her investigation, Marcellus decided to give her some 'space' to concentrate.

Little did she know that he was actually heading back to his residence so he could strategize based on all he discovered today AND report back to the true king of the north.

Anyway, when Marcellus got to his mansion, he walked in with his arms behind his back, a calm expression on his face.

However, his ears picked up a sound all of a sudden that made him pause abruptly in his tracks.

His ears moved repeatedly like a predator, following the sound of footsteps trying to hide from him.

"Whoever you are, I know you're out there." He muttered, swerving his body around to see if he could see the person.
