~Zarek's POV~
I was half asleep, half tossing and turning on my bed because thoughts of Dahlia had refused to let me be when a quiet knock sounded on my door. I froze for a second, my eyes widening as they found the wall clock overhead.
2:26am.
Who the fuck visits someone by this time? Who the hell disturbs their Alpha by this time?
Frustration made my blood boil as I slowly rose from the softness of my bed, snatched a free tunic and then draped it over my head. I then tiptoed to the door, pressing my ears against it to check for any undead sounds. There was none besides the steady uneven breaths of someone who sounded like they may have run a mile.
Nothing about the sound felt threatening, but I was still antsy seeing as I couldn't recognize their scent.
The knock came again, snapping me out of my reverie and in annoyance, I forcefully pulled the door open only to freeze in shock when I saw who it was.
My jaw dropped. "Elodie?" I gasped, "Elodie, is that you?"
