Cecilia’s POV

+15 Bonus

Leopold was gone before I could speak a word. He left me alone in his room. My heart was pounding against my chest to the point where I could hardly breathe. I sucked my bottom lip into my mouth, trying to keep it from trembling

I wasn’t going to show weakness here. I wasn’t about to break down in King Leopold’s room.

Without another thought… or at least I tried not to have another thought… I opened the door and stepped out of the room. Landon was also gone; that one, I was a bit more relieved about. I did not doubt in my mind that Landon overheard everything Leopold had said to me, and there was no way I wanted to face him at this moment.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and made my way down the hallway and into my room. Anna was approaching the door around the same time that I was, and she froze once she saw me.

“Oh, good evening,” she said, bowing slightly at me. “I was coming to see if you needed anything. I hadn’t heard from you all day. I came by your room earlier, but you weren’t here.”

I looked at her for a beat too long; there was something about her that just seemed so familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. I thought it was the very first time I had seen her as well; I thought maybe it was just as simple as me seeing her around the pack, considering she was from my pack.

paused as I started towards the bed, my eyes finding the small folder on the table. I had left that folder there, but what I didn’t eave was the paper inside of it hanging out of the edge. I made sure that the paper was completely covered, and I hadn’t touched t since then.

Which means it was moved.

I grabbed the folder and opened it.

It was still there: my mother’s medical records that Jax had given me.

Anna had to be in my room earlier, cleaning it; she could have knocked it with her hand or whatever she was using to clean it. It doesn’t necessarily mean she was snooping through my things, and she read every word of this document.
