Sylvia's POV:
I glanced at Murray, who had followed me out of the room, and cleared my throat. "Let's go."
Blair caught my hint, bid goodbye to Murray, and left the ramshackle cottage with me.
When we were alone, I continued the subject we hadn't been able to finish. "You said you've seen that book before. Where did you see it?"
"While I was collecting evidence in your pack, I came across something suspicious. It was in Gamma Mateo's room. That book was very strange. I wanted to check it, but I couldn't even pick it up. It seemed glued to there. I read a few pages, but couldn't make any sense of it. In fact, my head also started spinning."
When I heard Blair say that he couldn't move the book, I was almost certain that it was my mother's book of inheritance. After she passed away, Mateo took over her residence.
I was surprised and pleased with this information. I immediately made a decision to go back to my pack when I had some time.
"I'll go with you and help you fight." Blair gave me a confident smile, indicating that I would fail without him by my side.
I pouted. "No, I'm returning to my own pack. Why do you want to come along?"
"Because it's dangerous. Have you forgotten what Shawn had done to you? Besides, I know how to open the secret room." Blair tried to convince me to take him along. He threatened to pester me every day until I gave in.
But I stood firm. If he dared bother me every single day, I would just ask Rufus to deal with him. I didn't believe he was strong enough to go against Rufus.
"Listen to me, Sylvia. You really should take me with you and I promise you won't regret it. I can fight ten people at a time." He so sincerely wanted to prove his strength that he almost offered to show me his prowess right then and there.
I shook my head, looking at him with equal sincerity. "Thank you, Blair. But I really don't need your company. I remember how to open the room. I'll figure everything else out by myself. And I am also capable enough of fighting ten people alone."
Although being pregnant might impede my movements a little, I could always run away.
Blair nodded and sighed helplessly. "Well, then I have no choice but to tell Rufus about what happened today."
