Chapitre 948: Chapter 11 : A Cold Wind

*Sasha*

Lucas asked me to meet him at the library site, and, as I stood over the dark hole that had derailed both our career plans, I still couldn’t figure out why I’d agreed.

The fall air had become crisp, and I hugged my sweater more tightly around me as a cold wind cut through my clothes.

If I didn’t know better, I could have sworn the breeze came from the temple below.

Where in the Moon Goddess’s name was he? I had an uneasy feeling about this temple and its excavation. As excited as I had been to come and work on the library project before, now I felt I couldn’t leave the site fast enough.

“Lucas?” I asked when I felt a presence behind me. I whirled around, but no one was there.

I shivered. I shouldn’t have come early. The foreman and the workers were gone, to be replaced by archeologists and, no doubt, a representative or two–or seven–of the Lycaon Church.

A creeping sensation crawled up my spine, and I turned back to the hole. I could have sworn I heard a dark cackle.
