“Are we in Las Vegas?” “That nose of yours is quite perceptive,” I say with a barely contained smile. “Welcome to the city of sin, Chloe Jane. I need to get something from a contact here before we lay low.” Her lips are a thin line and she nods, and somehow I find her compliance… disappointing. I shake my head; no, I can’t let myself be distracted by things right now. I’ll be out in the open with a bounty on my head while I’m meeting with someone powerful on this side of Vegas. I need to have my wits about me.

I can’t believe that this is our haven for the next few nights—a sanctuary where we can indulge in love and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Lucian's POV Tonight, Las Vegas pulsed like a beat. Neon veins across the strip, colors bleeding into the desert sky. I came because Zeke had asked for me, and Zeke never asked for anything he couldn't bend on. I drove myself; no chauffeur, no convoy. No reminders that I was supposed to be untouchable. Some nights, I needed my hands on the wheel. The car was an Aston Matini, as black as obsidian and polished to reflect the chaos of light we passed.

If I did, I might say something I wasn’t ready to say. We crested the last hill and Las Vegas spilled out in front of us like a fever dream—flashing lights, mirrored towers, a haze of glitter and smoke. Even in daylight, it sparkled like it never slept. Elvis impersonators waved from sidewalks. A billboard for Celine Dion blinked in the distance. The city looked like chaos and magic had a love child.

She asked. Aiden gulped his shot and poured another for himself again. “Why do you think they called it Sin city? Because it’s full of sins…doubt the sins can be cleansed.

Absolutely, Las Vegas is no child’s play and that’s the reason she can’t bring Gabby to live with her here apart from the nature of her job being a hindrance.

Settled in the middle of the fucking desert is a massive gated community - The Vega Pack’s estate. “Welcome to Las Vegas, Konstantin,” Andreas says with a smile after removing the handcuffs. He doesn’t even flinch when he touches the silver, but I can hear and smell his skin burn. Fuck, what are these Lycans made of? We hear a scuffle behind us, and I see Dimitri on the ground with another Vega warrior. I roll my eyes. “Calm the fuck down; we’re okay,” I say as I walk over to him and give him my hand, and he grabs my forearm to heave himself up.

' But that wasn't true. The plane landed on the runway and we were sitting in his stylish red Corvette car, " Where are we? " I asked him. " Welcome to Las Vegas, Love. " He gleefully said as he took my hand and put my hand over his thigh. I felt heat rising through my body. I glanced out of the window. It could see lights and a beautiful view of Las Vegas, "This is known for nightlife and gambling." I said. "Shopping, entertainment and a lot more.

Then, stroke by stroke, I carefully signed my name. When Julian left with Elaine tucked against his side, he glanced back at me. His expression was as careless as ever. "Laura, I hope you stick with it longer this time. Don't come crying and begging me later." I later heard that Julian's friends started a betting pool. The wager?
