Chapter 122
If Elliot could describe the club his brother had recommended in one word it would
be: hot.
Not just because of the warm sweaty atmosphere, but the kind of people in it.
As soon as they got checked into the club, the smell of smoke filled his lungs. This club was different. More intense than any he’d ever been.
It was also hazy in there, the smoke was in different colors because of the flashing led lights. The main colors were the hazy blue and purple color, making
the entire club feel like an aphrodisiac.
There was a bar, bartenders shaking and mixing drinks up for people while flirting with them at the bar.
There was also a dance floor, filled with sweat clad bodies moving against each other. There were tables and women dressed in flapper costumes, sparklingly
bras and little skirts with bright makeup dancing on the tables.
But Elliot didn’t care for all that. He had taken great caution to sneak out, just to make sure Draco didn’t suspect him. As far as he could tell Draco didn’t.
but he didn’t take any chances.
He had specifically chosen a club far far away from home. Just so whoever tried to tail him would never find him.
Elliot still had that tiny voice at the back of his head that was generally unsure of his brother’s intentions but he chose to be positive.
“What do you want to drink?”
“Something light I presume…”
He said and Elliot shrugged.
“Yes. Probably a coke. I don’t want to go home drunk…”
He said and Lyle nodded.
“Hey, I understand.”
It’s so good to see you again Elliot. I was taller when you were little…”
Elliot chuckled.
“Well… I did tell you I would be taller than you.”
Lyle shrugged.
‘I should have taken your word for it.’
Elliot looked at his brother, from head to toe Lyle generally looked good. Really good.
‘And you? You look well. You told me you were leaving Denver last time we met. What changed?”

He asked and Lyle shrugged. His expression changing.
‘Well… I’m tired of running… I got a job offer and I considered staying…”
‘But after what you told me… after what happened to that guy who worked for Gabriel… I’m not sure I want to be here…”
‘Especially since I might be a potential suspect.”
Elliot nodded.
Well. That was true. Even he himself had started to suspect him.
“Well… You don’t have to always run… I’m sure if you…”
Lyle scoffed.
“What?! Go back to Gabriel? And do what apologize?”
Lyle sighed.
“Be honest. Do you think our cousin will welcome me with open arms?”
He asked and Elliot sighed.
“You can’t be too sure he’ll push you away… he’s not that heartless.”
Lyle shrugged as he signaled to the bartender.
“Well… the Gabriel I know and remember who left me for dead on that bloody full moon was cold and heartless. And I still think he is.”
Elliot sighed. He didn’t know how to convince his brother and frankly he wasn’t sure he wanted to either.
Gabriel had been hard on him also, he distrusted him despite the fact that he had stayed by his side. All because of what Lyle did.
If Gabriel couldn’t look past that what made him think he would ever forgive Lyle for going up against him.
The bartender took their orders and came back a few moments later while Elliot and Lyle were making small talk.
Lyle suddenly looked nervous, eyes darting left and right.
“What’s wrong?”
Elliot asked and his brother shrugged.
‘Nothing. I just want to be sure you weren’t followed… I can see some suspicious inen around.”
Elliot turned, his eyes searching.
“Where?”
