You Have Arrived At Your Destination Novels & Stories

I drove for twenty-five minutes before I arrived at my destination. How did I know that it was my destination? Well, 'You have arrived at your destination’ was displayed on the tablet screen. I parked outside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, but the place wasn't looking familiar. The place looked deserted, cold, and silent. Absolutely silent, actually. I sat back in the car waiting for his message, but none came in. I guess he wanted me to come out. Taking a deep sigh, I stepped out of the car, my heartbeat echoing in my ears like songs.

I smile to myself. "Get down, driver! " I hear someone shout next to me. I glance up from my reading and notice one of the passengers. There are only two stops left before I reach my destination. It's 5:55 PM, and I was supposed to be on the Venus by 5:50 PM. I nervously bite my lip, wondering if I'm risking another job dismissal. I hurriedly press the small yellow button to signal my intention to disembark, and the driver promptly stops at the designated point.

I should just wait until we arrive at the Ravager Pack before I conclude that something is really not right there. Our departure took us about almost an hour before we finally reached our destination, the Ravager Pack. The moment James announced that we arrived, I couldn't take my eyes away from the pack. This is the first time that I step into this land. I had never expected that there was still a pack which I didn't step into with. “Are you ready to meet them?” James asked me, which made me turn my head at him. I bit my lower lips, and then took a deep breath before responding to him.

A notification popped up: Your ride has arrived. Grabbing my bag, I quickly locked the door behind me and stepped outside. The ride was smooth, the city bustling with its usual noise and rhythm. My nerves increased with every passing street, my heart pounding faster the closer we got to the office. By the time we pulled up in front of the tall glass building, my palms were already damp with sweat.

I follow the GPS through London's traffic, hands firm on the wheel, trying not to think about how strange it is to be taking a stranger — an attractive one, though — home in the middle of the night. Finally, the device announces: "You have arrived at your destination." I pull the car up in front of a tall building — the kind you see in movies and think only exist in distant dreams. Automatic glass doors, a dark glass façade, and the name engraved in metallic letters: The Meridian.

Staring at the phone made me smile as it reminded me of Xavier. Once this was all done and I was done getting revenge, I would run straight into his arms without hesitation. I spent the next couple of minutes thinking of the exact thing to do once I arrive at Ashton’s pack. After what felt like eternity, the car came to a halt. “We have arrived ma’am,” The driver announced. Those few words rang in my head over and over again. I looked over to the gate to Ashton’s pack. Everything was still the exact way it used to be.

Half an hour already passed but still, he isn't back yet, so I just relax my back for a bit, drink the whole bottle of champagne, and fall asleep since we still have at least six hours or so before we reach our destination. "Ms. Anderson," a female voice wakes me from my sleep. I stretch my legs and my arms and look outside the window, I can see we have landed now, and some cars are already waiting. It is already dark when we arrived, it is probably around midnight, then. I look up and couldn't see Dmitri nor Claire, the attendant. I look at her name tag and thank her, "Thank you, Eve. Did you see Dmitri?"

I wore a business suit so no one could see Tia's mark on my neck. The flight was peaceful, and we arrived in the afternoon at Konkry, Santa Braee. I did not bother to look for the team because we were already communicating via the mind link, and I knew they were alright. I had to fight the urge to call my wife. I took a cab to the hotel, and the lady at the front desk flirted with me.

Immediately. There was a moment of silence, and I could sense the tension in his voice. "Can you tell me what is happening?" "I will clarify once I arrive," I responded. "Simply ensure that she is aware of my arrival." I ended the call before he could inquire further, pushing the phone into my pocket. There was no going back at this point. As I began moving closer to the pack's area, numerous thoughts rushed through my head. I was unsure of who to trust, uncertain if the pack would welcome me again. However, I needed to attempt.

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn’t even know when I had arrived at my destination. “Young man, we’re here.” The driver called to my attention and I snapped out of my thoughts and dipped my hand into my pocket to get my wallet. I got out of the car, paid him, and watched him leave before walking to the door of Adria’s house and ringing the doorbell. After a full minute, the door was opened, and I saw Adria’s mum. She herself was getting paler by the day. She moved back and let me in before closing the door.
