The intruder's steps drifted closer and closer. The closer it got, the more Reana's eyebrows furrowed.
It wasn't the steps she was familiar with. It didn't sound like the omegas' heavy steps, nor Kira's light movement. No guards came into her chambers, let alone her room.
She glanced down at Ryder, and then at the door.
The steps halted by her door and an underworldly energy surged into the room, sending a chill down Reana's spine.
Her heart quickened, her hackles raising as she wondered who it was. She tried to pick the scent but the person had no scent. Her hand reached under her pillow and she pulled out a glittering dagger and clutched it tightly, posing to throw it at any moment.
The knob turned and the door creaked softly.
Reana waited with bated breath, her pulse quickened and her eyes focused, dagger raised.
"You shouldn't be here." An unfamiliar voice broke the silence.
