Subtle as always. Twenty minutes later, I pull to the curb and kill the engine. The pub's warm glow spills onto the street, promising a quiet refuge, or at least as quiet as it can get with Logan involved. Shoving my hands into my coat pockets, I head inside. I haven't been here in months, and damn, I've missed it. O'Malley's is what I call old-man chic, all dark wood, dim lights, and a faint haze of smoke that no health regulation has ever snuffed out.

No stares. No judgement. Just whiskey and silenc

The air was filled with laughter and music, and the guests reveled in the festivities, embracing the joy of the moment. Underneath the ancient oak tree where they had shared their intimate moment, a smaller gathering had formed.

"Meet me tonight at midnight. The old oak tree beside the river. The words made me shudder down my back. The old oak tree stood in a quiet area covered in murmurs and mysteries. Under the cover of darkness, lovers met here, their trysts kept from view. One thousand questions whirled around my head. What had Kavan planned for me? Was this a secret meeting, an opportunity to investigate the forbidden attraction buzzing between us? Alternatively, was it more of a sinister, a trap set by a wolf trying to take advantage of my weaknesses?

In one corner of the town, there was a local pub made of wood with thatched roof notorious for its tasty brew. On this particular evening, the pub was jam packed, with different wolves from the pack.

As soon as the car stopped rolling, Dominic gave Leesa a quick thumbs up—the signal they had agreed on that she should proceed as planned. She grabbed the ivory box from her bag and got out of the car. After waiting for a truck to flash by, she hurried across the road and found the spot Dominic had described to her. The old oak tree—almost twice as thick as any of its neighbors—was just barely visible from the highway.

Hiding a smile, I blew on my tea and watched the waves crash against the glass wall of my bookstore-bar. “Speed, maybe,” he retorted, stacking the glasses under the counter. Sitting on a stool, I sipped my tea while Owen checked the bottles of alcohol, replacing empty ones. I am running a books bar in Danius Clive'S Pack.

“Raiders,...raiders came to our farm and they... “ Jamie could not finish her sentence. She flung her arms around her uncle's neck and sobbed. Fluff gave a protest meow at being squashed. “There, there little one. It is ok, come inside, come inside!” Tyrone said gently. Uncle Tyrone led Jame inside and took her into the pub area. It was dark, musty and smelt faintly of urine and vomit. The wooden floor was warped in palaces and stained. The wooden tables had deep knife scratches on them.

[So as I was saying, those oak trees were capable of predicting the future. Nero gave his master a side glance to check if she had any plans to interrupt him again. It was only when he confirmed that Audrey was already behaving like a good child, did he went on telling his story again.
