Chapter 96 I think we should raid the camp to find him ourselves.

they want to make doses of it to sell to those that need it.” William rolled his eyes and laid back against the bed again. “That’s it then, isn’t it? We can go back to the camp and tell Enzo it was Luna Queen.” “We still don’t have proof it was her. All of this is hearsay, don’t you want proof when you go back to the palace? That will show it was her who poisoned the soup and-and sent the assassins after you.” Doris didn’t want to mention Melody by name, it felt wrong. She was still his lady and he hadn’t once mentioned her this entire trip and after what they did together Doris couldn’t deal with that level of guilt at the moment. “I’m afraid it’s highly unlikely that we will find any sort of evidence. These sort of things are hard to prove.” Doris sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. He was right. It was almost impossible for their word to be proven, who would believe them anyway? Suddenly, Doris felt like a lightbulb had gone off in her head. “Wait, you said a lot of the men are out on the hunt, right?” “Yes. There were only a handful left behind.” William said with his eyes closed. She wanted to push him off the bed and make him take a bath. “Well, maybe we should explore this place a little more. We haven’t met the ones that run this place for Enzo yet, but the map Robbie gave us has all of their offices included on it. What if one of them have some sort of letter or something from Luna Queen or your palace?”   William opened his eyes and sat up slowly. “They wouldn’t leave them unlocked.” “No, but we can still try to get inside.” Doris stood and went to change from her uniform into something a lot more comfortable to move around in. When she came out, William looked a bit more put together in the sense that he changed and attempted to wipe

the main door at the end of the hallway. It wiggled but gave nothing. Doris glanced at the map and saw it led to a smaller hallway that broke off into several offices. William banged his shoulder against it, but it still didn’t give. Doris took a pin out of her hair and handed it to him. “Try this.” William gave her a long look before he stuck the pin in the keyhole and slammed his hand against it. The door opened instantly and for a moment, Doris forgot why they were even there. He pulled her inside and closed the door quickly. The hallway wasn’t nearly as long as the one they came from, but it had several closed doors that Doris could only  guess were for the owners since they looked bigger than their bedroom. Doris tried one and was surprised to see it didn’t even have a lock on it. She pushed inside to see a large desk and stacks of papers sprawled across every surface imaginable. “Dan Walts.” Doris read off of one of the papers. “It says he handles the finances. All of these papers are expenses.” “I wonder if he would have the money Luna Queen bribed him with.” William peered across her shoulder and reached his arm around her body to thumb through some of the papers. “I don’t think they would keep it in the official records. These all look like business expenses.” William searched through the drawers while Doris looked through every cabinet. When every stone was turned, they went to the next office. “Shawn Plows. He’s in charge of… a lot it seems.” Doris furrowed her brows as she read the list. “Transactions, where the goods go.” Doris chewed on her lip as she shuffled through the papers. Their offices were already messes, she wondered if they ever had a concern for their information or if they were that confident in the guards around the building. Doris had only passed a couple since she came here. They clearly never expected a wolf to be right in the center of their nest. Doris and William spent every second searching through papers and books but came up with nothing. It wasn’t until they reached the biggest office that Doris noticed something was off. Everything was in its place, the fire was even still roaring. Doris and William looked at each other and quickly closed the door. A voice echoed in the outside hallway, they ducked into an office they hadn’t touched yet and hid under the desk. She hadn’t realized she was holding his hand until she felt him squeeze hers. He put his finger over his lips as they heard the main door open. Two men’s voices boomed off the walls and William peered around the wood to see them. Doris
