There was nothing more annoying than being stuck in the body of another person with no way out, especially if it was an old body. I couldn't wait for the final plan so I could get out of this body. It was frustrating.
I could imagine how shocked Astrid was when she saw me because I knew she felt the mate pull towards me. She must have been so confused knowing I was her true mate before, but seeing an older man again, which she felt the mate pull towards.
I wanted nothing more than to tell her I was her real mate and was just stuck in the body of an older man for the time being, but I couldn't risk Gaius knowing I was still alive, as killing me would be an easy breeze for him.
"We have to devise a scheme to draw Gaius into our trap." Meredith's voice broke me out of my thoughts.
"What do you suggest we do then?" I asked, staring at my wrinkled hands in disgust.
