Bab 429: Masked

Abi felt her body freeze the moment the woman in black looked at her. The woman's gaze was piercing, as if she wanted to see into her mind. Who was this woman? How did she know who she was? What did she want from her?

All these questions went round and round in Abigail's head. She didn't know why this woman would know someone as insignificant as her. Apart from being Alex's wife, there was really nothing out of the ordinary in her life. Or maybe that was how the woman came to know of her - as the woman who managed to tie down the great Alexander.

An even darker aura cloaked Alex's body the moment he heard the woman in black mention his wife's name. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the woman. With just one look, Alex could tell that she wasn't a vampire, nor a witch. He then recalled what Abigail had told him last night about her dream - about a woman wearing a black veil. So this was the woman calling for his Abigail? Why? Who was she?
