There was no answer. Once Dmitri was inside the manor, he called upon Cora and asked whether she had communication with Nate, but she shook her head.
"Alpha, I heard noises in the forest that is bordering the manor on the north."
Dmitri turned his head to look at the servant who informed him. The elderly servant was standing at the entrance of the main hall. He was sweating and out of breath.
"What kind of noises?" asked Dmitri with narrowed eyes. He was irritated at this intrusion. He didn't want to be thrown off the trail of finding Nate.
The servant cowered at the fierceness with which Dmitri spoke. "There- There were bizarre no- noises at that end," he stuttered.
"Would you mind explaining?" yelled Dmitri unable to control his anger. The blood of the serpent had now caked beneath his fingernails and he was ready to attack the servant.
