Eve POV:
"Did you find anything worthwhile?" Salem's voice was sharp, an edge of impatience cutting through the silence as I walked back toward the front doors of the library. He was perched on my shoulder, a tiny storm cloud of annoyance in feline form.
I shook my head, my heart still racing from the close call with the librarian and those strange people who had just barged into the hidden room. "No," I muttered, barely able to hide my frustration. "Nothing of value."
I shook my head, feeling a little deflated. "No, nothing yet," I muttered, though I was still holding onto the royal vampire book I had "borrowed." It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but there had to be something valuable in it. I just hadn't had the time to go through it properly.
