Xandra climbed the steps to the first floor and looked for her three companions. Because of their sheer size and the proportions of their shoulders, they weren't difficult to find. Her hunter stature clearly set her apart from the other club-goers, and Christian's light-blond hair and his cinematic appearance usually attracted a large number of admirers.She found Chris and Dareon, also affectionately known as the bear brothers or Fix and Foxi, in a booth in the corner, as expected, already besieged by two drunk club-goers. Chris exuded all his charm, but Xandra had seen so many times that the show lost its appeal. She knew the sequence very well. He was just laying his arms on the back of the couch, as if by chance one forearm landed behind the tall brunette. At the same time he sank deeper back into the cushion, as if trying to make himself comfortable. The movement only served to press her thigh against hers. That means they had already left behind the "I've seen you here before, I

Cat automatically ducked as she entered the small room used for visits. As in prison, the table and chairs that were in the middle of the room were bolted to the floor. The ceiling lamp was hidden behind bars and therefore lived in the best neighborhood.Cat held up the two brown cups in her hand, hoping to appease the wild bull. Ridiculous. Then she could have tried to put out a steppe fire with the pudding."Cathleen Morrison?" The tall man growled one more time, tearing his hair, which was now graying at his temples. “I almost didn't realize you were here. When did you want to call? "Luckily he was standing behind the table so that they were separated by a few meters. Cat would have given a lot to avoid the coming thunderstorm. Although she was not afraid of Eduardo Marquez, for her he was the closest thing to a parent or guardian. She knew he had cared for her, but he was one of the things she'd put off a year after she'd been released from the slap.

That's what I'm saying. Bingo. The candidate has a hundred points! ”The blond woman, posing as a doctor, smiled happily and showed a flawless row of upper teeth. As if the smooth skin and the fabulous face weren't enough, she also had the perfect smile for a toothpaste advertisement.Cat swallowed and was glad for a moment that the beauty of the woman she was speaking to had captivated her enough to absorb the initial shock.So she was an Elevender. Whatever that meant. Did that mean she actually caused the deaths of two people even though she hadn't wanted to?Was there another explanation for this?"Then what is my ... power?"Xandra shrugged, an extremely conventional gesture, and she reassured Cat in a way no words could have done. Xandra might be different, but at least she was human, so so was Cat."Unfortunately, something like that is not written on your forehead, but ..." The tall Elevender walked slowly around the desk and pi

Just a colleague? Now you're insulting me! ”Christian lightly climbed the last steps and took Cat's hand to breath a kiss on it. “Enchanté, Mademoiselle. Welcome to Blackridge Manor. ""Oh please ! Give the poor thing some air to breathe and keep your spit with you. She has only just found out that she is an Elevender, she definitely has no nerve for your games now. "Xandra blew the bangs off her face and pulled a sullen expression."So so. But you seem to know exactly what our guest is thinking. How long have you known her again? ”Christian teased. He still took up Cat's hand and his lips floated barely an inch above her skin while his eyes looked up at her under long, blonde lashes. Still, his attention was on Xandra. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, which she didn't seem to notice because she was trying not to look at the scenario.“Longer than you anyway. Which, as always, doesn't make you shy away from physical con

Wise of them. Would you like something to drink? ”The Indian-looking man went to a small bar at the other end of the room. "Water, coffee or maybe something stronger?"“Something stronger…. You're welcome…. Sir. "He laughed again rumbling with his deep baritone and reached for a carafe in which a clear liquid sloshed back and forth. He took three glasses, filled them about two fingers wide, then turned back and came back with the drinks.“Could we switch to you? I would be more comfortable if they don't mind. "Cat nodded as she took her drink."Very nice!" Ferroc sipped the clear. “As I said before, our physical constitution but also our gifts distinguish us from people. Due to our different strengths, we of course have a small advantage and this is exactly what the Hegedunen use. They are a group of elevenders who want to subjugate people because they think they are better. These people believe that those wh
