Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
It's like a buzz of electricity running through my veins, and I can see the same excitement in Alec's eyes.
"You ready for this?" he asks, looking over at me.
I nod, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. Whatever is behind that door, we need to find out. It could be the key to stopping the Silver Hunters once and for all.
Alec reaches out and twists the handle, and the door creaks open slowly.
We step inside, and the first thing I notice is an old man sitting in a rocking chair by the window. He's wearing a tattered, brown coat, and his white hair is long and unkempt. He looks like he might be the oldest person I've ever seen.
