Chapter 63: Omens in the Night
Water dripped from Orion's hair and he used a small towel to clean while he was dressed in a robe. He paused when he heard the knock at his door.
Except it was something important, pack members never knocked on his door and especially not in the middle of the night.
He crossed the little distance to the door and opened it, coming face to face with Eldric whose hands were raised like he was about to knock on the door again.
"Took you long enough." Eldric said as he adjusted his glasses.
"It took less than five minutes to open the door." Orion told him but Eldric ignored him staring across to the house a few distances from Orion's.
"So it's true what they say," Eldric said, his voice low, almost to himself. "The outsider's got the place next to yours."
"She's got a name, you know." Orion told him with hands folded across his chest.
Eldric observed him for a bit before giving him a nod.
"What are you doing here?" Orion asked him.
