Zevran.
Leilani and I drove for such a very long time that I began to wonder where exactly we were headed.
A couple of minutes had passed with me following at a reasonable distance behind her, and when at some point, she stopped and packed her car, I froze. Because...
We were almost at the borders of a dangerous pack of Lycans named Shadowvane or shadowstone... or something along those lines.
I watched her quietly as she slipped out of her car, and it wasn’t until this moment that I realized the reason behind her current choice of clothes: it was to help her blend with the darkness. It was to hide her from probable public scrutiny— not like it would help with how out of place she looked.
Her ponytail was too high and her eyes darted around her environment a little too many times.
Goddess, what is she doing? I asked myself but soon got my answer when she cast one last look at her car before walking towards a very very large and high end beautiful hotel building standing tall in this ’middle of nowhere’ with the words: ’The continental’ written boldly across the very top of its shiny glass surface.
And despite the worry I felt about seeing her in this strange place, I couldn’t help but notice the way she swerved her hips gently as she walked into the large hotel building, her hair bouncing behind her as she moved.
The sight nearly set my wolf ablaze with desire, but shrugging off those perverted thoughts and reminding myself that she could be in danger, I sighed and waited until she was out of sight before I turned off my car and stepped out too, shuddering when the cold air hit my skin with a vengeance.
I understood that we were still in winter but something about this place felt different. Felt colder... and in an eerie way. The night was cold with stiff air, and my boots sunk into the snow with each step I took.
When I eventually got to the front of the hotel, I was stunned...
Why?
Because I couldn’t understand how something so luxurious could be found somewhere so deep into the middle of nowhere... and how in all my years of existence, I never knew that this existed.
Despite my attempts at being discreet, the first thing I noticed when I stepped into the hotel lobby was how different I also seemed, and how everyone... including the hotel staff, turned to give me the side eye.
They would occasionally glance at me from head to toe and then look away; But I didn’t miss the subtle hostility in their gazes or the way they all seemed to watch my every movement like a hawk stalking its prey.
Somewhere more than a few feet away from me, I sighted Leilani sitting alone at a corner. But it wasn’t the fact that she was alone that stuck out to me, it was the group of people closing in on her... and yet, she doesn’t seem to have noticed them!
My heart raced with panic as I quickly began to march towards her, but just before I could take two strides, two large men materialized out from nowhere and came to stand before me, their eyes glinting with something malicious as one of them spat;
"Is there a problem, young Alpha?"
I froze.
They know who I am... they could see through me and I could not say the same about them.
I shook my head slowly as my eyes met theirs, and then I tried to sidestep them as I muttered; "No. I just need to meet with my friend."
