Chapter 164 You Owe Me Big Time
The three of them made their way down the never-ending, twisting corridors with the
Royal Guards following closely behind.
“Don’t you get sick of tweedle-dum ad tweedle-dee following you all the time?” Lexi
murmured as she nced over her shoulder at the two stoic guards with
expressionless faces.

“I guess I haven’t had long enough to get sick of it yet,” Ann answered with a shrug.
She was sure it would probably be irritating at some point, but for now, at least she
had someone to ask if she got lost in the maze of corridors that the Enve was
turning out to be.
After descending the third set of stairs that seemed to twist in upon itself, she was
almost positive that if she tried to find her way back she would most likely get lost.
She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to tell Adam how to get here. “Bartholomew, I
wanted Adam to meet us wherever you’re taking us.” She said a little hesitantly as she
pulled her phone out and began flicking through to the message center.
“Yes, yes. Absolutely fine.” He answered waving his hand dismissively as he plodded
resolutely onwards.
“Okay, well it would help if I knew exactly where we were going. You haven’t told us
where it is that everything is being held…” Ann said, trailing off at the end.
She was well aware that even in ces as secure as the Enve, the walls
sometimes had ears. Who knew who was listening at any given time? It wasn’t worth
the risk of speaking it out loud until they were safely inside.
Bartholomew stopped short in the middle of the corridor and turned to look at them
with a thoughtful expression.
“Hmm. You’re quite right. Actually, he may have difficulty finding it now you’ve
mentioned it.” He said as he rubbed his chin.
Lexi nced at Ann with a raised eyebrow as he gestured to one of the guards behind
them.
“You there, will you go and fetch the Queen’s Consort, please? It quite escaped my
mind that this is a restricted part of the Enve that he may have difficulty essing
without an escort.”
The guard frowned slightly, but with a curt nod, turned and began to make his way
back down the corridor. “Almost there now, your highness,” Bartholomew announced
impassively as they descended another set of stairs and turned a corner into a
corridor with arge, solid metal door at the end.
“Looks pretty ominous.” Lexi quipped as she wrinkled her nose in disgust, “Stinks as
well.”
Bartholomew turned to look at her curiously for a little while before humming to
himself.
“Interesting that you should say that because as far as our wolves are concerned,
they can’t smell anything around these… creatures.” Hemented slowly as he
turned to smile softly at Ann, “It seems you were right to bring your friend here. She
has already yielded a little information before she’s even entered the room, making
headway where we could not.”
Lexi snorted softly.
“You sound surprised old man, although it would be nice if you didn’t sound so gleeful
about my difort,” Lexi grumbled,
“The scent itself isn’t a ma*s*sive thing. All it does is prove that whatever this is, it’s
undetectable to wolves making ambush far easier for the creatures concerned. If their
target is wolves that is.” She continued carefully, trying not to breathe in through her
nose as much as possible, although it had little effect.
Yet with trying to utilize that method to avoid her obvious physical reaction, instead of
smelling it, she could now taste the stench and it seemed to stick in her throat.
“Although, I can’t guarantee that I’m not going to gag when the full stench hits me
inside. If it’s this bad out here, I dread to think what it smells like when that
monstrosity of a door is opened.” She grimaced with a scowl, her hands doing little to
hide the foul expression that had settled over her face.
“You owe me big time for this Ann.” She hissed.
Bartholomew chuckled as they reached the door and before they could open it
themselves, it swung open, revealing a startled-looking Commander Greyson on the
other side who had clearly not been expecting the trio and one Royal guard on the
other side so soon.
Lexi’s eyes widened slightly before she covered her mouth and nose and desperately
tried not to gag on the wave of putrid fragrance that washed over her.
“Oh, you’re here already. I was just going to make my way up to your study to see if
everything was okay. Is she okay?” Commander Greyson asked with a frown as he
took in Lexi’s now bloodshot eyes as tears began to trickle down the side of her face
whilst she dry heaved and gagged silently behind them.
“Apparently these strange beasts do indeed have a scent!” Bartholomew answered

cheerfully as Greyson stepped back to allow them to enter.
“You don’t need to sound so cheerful about it. Believe me, you furballs should count
yourself lucky that you can’t smell it.” Lexi snapped between breaths.
“Greyson, this is Lexi. She is our Queen’s longtime friend and resident expert on…
well…you’ll find out soon enough.” Bartholomew continued jovially, ushering them
inside.
“Pleasure to meet you,” Greyson said as he offered his hand and then hesitantly
withdrew it when he caught the furious scowl that Lexi was directing his way.
“There is not a chance in hell that I am removing my hands from my face. We can do
all the social nicetiester, fur bag …unless you want me to vomit all over your shiny
little uniform that is.” She hissed in irritation.
She hated to appear weak or incapable in any capacity, especially in front of people
that made her feel nervous and now she was going to be surrounded by them.
Ann rubbed her arm consolingly as they made their way further into the room and
stopped short as sheid eyes for the first time on the creature thaty motionless on
the b before her.
She turned to Lexi in a mix of horror and shock and saw the same emotions mirrored
in Lexi’s eyes as she cast her gaze over the corpse in front of them.
“What the f“k is that?!” Ann breathed in trepidation as she fully grasped just how
otherworldly this thing was.
