108 Deadly Illusion

Claire's POV

"Wait, I don't understand what you mean." The guard's face twisted in confusion, as if I was speaking in some alien language instead of English. "Are you saying Evans wants to harm that girl? But she seems so ordinary, why would he do that?"

"Ah—"

Just as the guard spoke, a piercing scream echoed from outside the dungeon.

"It's Cathy!"

I jumped up, leaning against the door crack to see what was happening outside.

The dense fog seemed to be dissipating rapidly, and the biting cold wind quickly turned into a comfortable temperature. All of this signaled that the illusion was fading away.

"If your superiors blame you for Cathy's situation, remember to tell them it was my idea."

Before opening the door, I glanced at the still confused guard, recalling the death of Evans' brother and his mate in prison last time, couldn't help but issue another warning to him.

"Also, please keep the speculation about Evans secret for your own good."
