My burning eyes took a moment to adjust after being plunged into darkness for so long.Once the blur cleared from my eyes and I was finally able to make out my surroundings, I could see that we were outside now, in what looked like an abandoned quarry or maybe a construction site.
OliviaThe unmarked door gave way to a dimly lit hallway, the cracked tile floors and peeling wallpaper a far cry from the opulent grandeur of the ballroom. The sounds of the party, muffled now by the door, continued on in the background.Thankfully, Dan hadn’t seen me. Or at least, I hoped that he hadn’t; but still, I needed to move quickly just in case he noticed his missing keyring.
OliviaI slipped through the open doors of the ballroom, my pulse thundering in my ears. The grand hall was like something out of a movie, all glittering chandeliers and polished marble floors. Small clusters of well-dressed guests meandered about, sipping from elegant flutes of champagne while soft orchestral music played in the background.Normally, an event like this would have been exciting to attend.

Deep voices barked orders, heavy bootsteps thundering across the cheap linoleum.I blinked sluggishly, my eyes refusing to focus. Four… no, five bulky shapes loomed over me, indistinct in the hazy gloom. One of the figures reached down, seizing a fistful of my hair to

But it was so late now—a quick glance at my phone, indicating that it was well past midnight and I still hadn’t received any word from Nathan, sent my heart pounding. I needed to hurry.

Something warm and wet was caked to the back of my skull, and when I tried to lift my head, I felt my vision begin to reel as a low, involuntary groan escaped my lips.“Stay still,” my wolf’s voice echoed in my mind. “He’s close.”
NathanAs Alpha Montgomery and I stepped out into the courtyard, I felt a soft breeze, thick with the earthy scent of impending rain, blow through my hair. Montgomery strode beside me, his hands in his pockets, unfazed by the chilly wind.“So, Alpha Nathan,” Montgomery said as we wandered through the tall stone cloisters of the courtyard. “How are things faring in your pack?”
OliviaThe wind caught my hair as I leaned over the side of the boat, causing it to whip around me in a small torrent. A slight rain had started to drizzle down—not quite enough to cause me to seek refuge inside the cabin, but enough to make me squint my eyes against the horizon.We had been on the water for some time now; the ride was typically about six hours, but it had been longer than that.
