Someone touched Valentino's shoulder. "Who are you?" a man with a deep bass voice asked him. Valentino turned his head to look at his discoverer.
Shoot. What am I supposed to do now? he pondered, staring at the man. The scar across the man's face showed that no lie was going to get him Without answering his own question, he made a run for it.
"Go after him!" the man yelled. Valentino zapped through the corridors leading to Catori's room with every able bodied man who was in the area hot on his heels.
"I just hope that Catori is back at that room," he muttered as he ran.
Catori got to the door to her room, her pursuers hot on her tails. She managed to put a great distance between herself and them though. "Get your things and run!" she yelled to the people inside as she fought with the handle of the door. Someone finally opened it from the inside. "Get your bags," she said rapidly.
"But where
"Kurt, stop shouting. I hear something." Kasa stood up from the ground with some difficulty. "Should we check it out or should we just avoid the trouble?" Kasa asked in a whisper."Check what out, Kasa? I can't hear shit," her brother said. Kasa stared at him in disbelief."Can you not hear some footsteps coming in this direction or is your sense of smell your only proficiency?" she asked. "Well, no problem. I'll just go check it out myself, just in case it's Tori."Kasa followed the sound of the footsteps crushing dead leaves as they went. When she felt she was close enough, she hid herself behind the large trunk of a tree. She sensed that it must be more than one person as the footsteps were not in as coherent enough to belong to one person alone. As cautiously as she could, she peeped out from behind the tree trunk. There were three people: a red eyed man whose eyes she could even see from that distance; a girl and a young man
"I want to talk to you," Catori said with folded arms."Yes? What is it about?" Fenris did not bother to turn back and face her. He just stood with his back to her, watching the golden sunset."You will look at me while I speak to you," Catori ordered.The brown skinned man before her smirked to himself. "And what if I refuse to do as you wish?" he asked. "What's going to happen, sweetheart?""You don't want to know," Catori retorted. With a sigh, the man turned to face her. His gaze landed on those light brown orbs. Instead of the warmth he was used to seeing in those eyes, he saw ice. The coldness in her eyes reminded him of himself. It was the same icy gaze that he himself gave off."As you and I know," she started. "We are mates." Fenris let out another sigh. This was the conversation he had been trying to avoid for days. He opened his mouth to talk but she held up her index finger to silence him.&nbs
They both collided into another furry body. Catori's wolf bared her teeth at the obstruction.Fenris stood between the two wolves until he felt that they were sufficiently calm. He dragged Valentino away from the girl back to the place he was standing before he came to separate them. "What the fuck?!" Valentino yelled. "What is wrong with you Fenris?""I should be asking you that," Fenris said sternly. "What is wrong with you? Do you realize that you were about to fight with a girl?""I don't care," Valentino said. "Why should I care? She hit Zayna.""She gave Zayna what she was asking for," Fenris said calmly.A muscle in his friend's jaw ticked. "Are you for real right now? Can you even hear yourself? You're picking a stranger's side over your own teammate? All this because you feel we are going bankrupt so her money will help us? Fuck you, Fenris!"Fenris sighed and went over to wh
The light of a flashlight landed on Catori's sleeping face. It was not yet dawn but it was fast approaching."What are you doing?" came Fenris' voice from behind Zayna Amar."When did you get here?" she asked, not caring to look behind her."That should not concern you," he said as he stepped closer to the woman. "What I asked is what you were doing? Why are you looking at the girl like a hawk that's watching its prey?""You slept beside her," said Zayna in a shrill voice. "Why? I may have disappointed you last night, but why did you have to sleep beside her? Was that to spite me?"Fenris took a deep breath and settled beside her." Alright Zayna let's talk." He put on his meanest facial expression. She whimpered without knowing. "Zayna, let's face the facts, you emotionally manipulated Valentino and Alaric into fighting for you; you almost attacked a client and when she defended herself, you took it to the next
Lightning struck through the sky. Thunder followed immediately after. Before the rain could soak them, Fenris led the girls to a nearby hotel. "Get us one room," he told the lady at the desk. She tapped the buttons on the keyboard but not before throwing him a look of disgust."That will be a hundred and fifty dollars per night," she said when she was done."Alright. We'll check out tomorrow afternoon, at noon," he told her."Okay sir but you need to pay before I hand over the keys to the room," she informed him.Fenris sighed deeply. "Can I get through to a manager?" he asked immediately. The receptionist threw him a confused glance but took the telephone to call the manager of the hotel nonetheless. She asked him to come down to the reception."Fenris Covel," an amiable voice said from behind them. A tall man with teal green eyes dressed in a suit approached them. He wore a bright smile and his arms were wide open for a hug, a hug t
Reiner's gloved fist aimed for her jaw. But Cassarina was too fast for him. She dodged the attack and came up in his face, giving him a punch in his right eye. He stayed on the floor of the ring for a moment before he got back up and then charged toward her. Before she could dodge this one, she felt herself being lifted up in the air. Her opponent was about to throw her back on the floor but she managed to hit his shoulder blade. The moment of pain he felt forced him to let go of her.By now, the boxing room was filled with spectators. They watched the two with so much enthusiasm."It's been awhile since we had a boxing tournament," Cassarina heard someone say from below her. From the look of things, her opponent also heard what the person said. There was a new flash of determination in his eyes. He charged at her again. This time, she hit him hard in the gut. Surprisingly, Reiner went on like he did not feel anything. He went straight on to punch her in
With the speed of lightning, Catori's knee made contact with Beta Calian's face, knocking him over. The receptionist who led him to them was startled. Catori grabbed the lady's arm and gestured to the others to get a move on. They all ran to the entrance, where Fabian was standing, waiting for them. "I heard that someone sold you guys out," he said. "Leave this place quickly before that Henming guy decides to follow you." "Your human receptionist ratted us out," Fenris said to him. "I'll deal with the situation," Fabian told them rapidly. "For now, just leave and be safe." Fenris nodded to him and led the two girls away from the hotel. Three hooded figures sat in the train awaiting their arrival at their destination. Catori sneezed lightly into her palm. Fenris shuffled shifted beside her. She put her palms together between her legs. Zayna leaned on the window beside her. Having that redhead
