At that moment, all I felt for Anna was great pity.
She deserved it and yet I couldn’t help simply pitying her.
I shut the door behind me and took in a deep breath.
I needed to do what I was supposed to.
I felt my stomach grumble aggressively and then remembered I hadn’t eaten.
Ever since I had joined Xaden’s pack, I was frequently hungry even though I rarely ate back home in our pack.
I sighed heavily and began my journey to Otto’s room.
Just like Anna’s bedroom, it hadn’t been difficult finding it.
Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, I looked up and couldn’t help feeling discouraged.
Those were really a lot of stairs.
I took in a very deep breath and began the journey up the steps.
With every single step I took I became weary and exhausted.
I wondered how anyone could even want to live up so far up regardless of the view in the room.
Once I reached the door of the space , I breathed a sigh of relief.
I gave a knock.
There was no response.
I waited awhile and then knocked again.
Still no response.
I considered leaving the place.
Perhaps he wasn’t around.
I turned back and looked down at the stairs descending.
It completely discouraged me to go and come back later to climb back up the stairs.
I spun back to the door and gave a hard pounding at it.
I kept on pounding and pounding aggressively.
I was about to smash it hard again when the door was swung open and displayed a very irritated Otto.
He had his hair still in a messy state, perhaps messier than the last time I had seen.
"Who the hell is it at my-
He stopped short when he saw me standing with my handing hand at the door.
He looked me up and down and his eyes sparkled from anger to excitement.
I never thought a man like him would be happy to see another living person
"Where the hell have you been?" He startled me .
I blinked confused. "I.... Uh... eh.... I was... I didn’t know I was supposed to come?"
I was confused.
He hadn’t wanted me around so what was with the change of heart all of a sudden.
He left the door wide open and walked into the room.
I hung at the door unsure whether to step in or wait outside.
"What are you doing?" He asked me. "Are you waiting for an invitation? Come in! Time is gold if you don’t know."
That jumped me up.
I quietly followed him in and shut the door behind.
I looked around his room and it seemed the same.
As messy as it was, it was still beautiful.
The elegant windows that had a fantastic view of the entire pack with rays of sunshine streaming in.
Before I knew it, Otto was marching to my very front.
"Where did you get this?!" He demanded.
I looked down and saw he was pointing at Xaden’s mother’s journal.
"I got it from Alpha Xaden. It was his mother’s book I think." I explained.
"Do you have any idea what’s in this book?" He asked me.
I shook my head.
"This is a book that has secrets of astronomy. Things that haven’t been found or heard from in years and years. I have been looking it for it." He said his eyes lit with excitement.
He now pointed at pages in the book.
"Do you have any idea what’s language this is?"
He asked me.
I had no idea of course.
So I shook my head.
"This is the language of the goddess." He said. "And only I can read it."
I rose a brow. "How did you learn how to teach the language of the goddess?"
"I’m not the pack’s best astronomer for nothing!" He opened his hands out in pride. "This is what I had been looking for. The source of my hunger. I told everyone that it existed but no one believed me."
And with that he scampered up to where his bed was.
