Chapter 72

Harlow POV

I was awoken by one of their phones ringing loudly. I had a wicked hangover, and the room’sbrightness burned my eyes as I squinted up at the ceiling, My eyes widened, and I sat up abruptly, halfin a panic that I would replace myself locked in the den. Relief washes over me when replace myself back atthe Hotel

“Yeah, we know. We are on our way.” I hear Rhen tell presumably Thane. Raidon comes out of thebathroom, trying to fix his tie.

“Here,” I tell him, tossing my legs over the side of the bed while ignoring the nausea that bubbled in myempty stomach and had me wanting to run to the bathroom just to be safe.

Raidon wanders over to me, yanking the tie off, and I stand on my tippy toes to quickly fix it for himwhile his hands move to my hips.

“How are you feeling?” he asks.

“Fine.” I tell him, though my neck stung when memories of that woman came to my mind. Tears tried tobrim at remembering her scent all over them and then seeing her. I knew it was foolish with what I wasplanning on doing on Friday so I could get out of the city, yet at the same time.

Thane has made it clear he doesn’t want me, and he has overall pull when it comes to ranking in thepack. I knew it. They knew it. Waiting for him to come around was foolish. He wouldn’t give me the timeof day to even explain. And as much as they claim to be by my side, ! could feel their disbelief. I felttheir distrust of me, so it was pointless.

“We’ll be back tonight, don’t leave the hotel, please,” Raidon whispers before pressing his lips to myforehead. He steps away, grabbing his phone from the charger and wallet off the small stand by thedoor. Rhen quickly pecks my cheek before rushing out the door.

“Where is Leon?”

*Leon left early. He was struggling with his bloodlust,” Raidon tells me. Why didn’t he feed on me,then? Was he angry about last night?

“He could have fed,” I began to say.

*I have to go; we are late” Raidon says before rushing out and leaving me staring at the door. It took allof two seconds of them leaving for that empty feeling in my stomach to change to a rising feeling in mythroat as I ran for the bathroom to throw up. I was still puking when I heard the hotel phone startringing, and I groaned, wiping my mouth on the hand towel before retrieving it and moving back towardthe bathroom to shower and brush my teeth.

“Hello,” I all but groaned into the phone.

“Thank goodness, can you fill in for Tammy today? She can’t come in,” Bree says, not sounding theslightest bit as sick as I felt. Yet Thane never paid me for the few weeks I did, and I was desperate forcash. I hated living off them at the moment, yet that couldn’t be helped. And I knew they would pitch afit if they found out I was working back at Talon’s.

“Yes, but you will have to pay for the cab. And I need to shower first,” I tell her.

“Deal, thank you. You really saved my ass,” she says. I chuckle, shaking my head before hanging up,and turning the shower on. I felt like shit still even after i hopped out and rummaged around foranything half decent to wear though I would borrow one of the uniforms when I got there I doubted mybaggy sweats and hoodie would earn me much in tips.

Climbing in the cab, i replace Bree had in fact, called ahead and paid, which saves me having to run in andraid the till to pay for the fare. I wondered where the money in my bra went when I remembered I hadleft it at Bree’s house.

When the cab pulls up out front of the strip club, though, and I climb out. I glance around and tug myhood up over my head. I usually wasn’t here this late and hated the idea of being seen in case it gotback to Thane and my mates.

Most mornings, people were too distracted with rushing to work on time. Afternoons are the same, orparents doing school runs, yet at this hour, it was mainly shoppers taking their sweet ass time as theyleisurely walked around taking everything in.

Yet after last night, and catching a glimpse of the morning paper by the foyer doors, I knew that myface was being splashed over every paper and the scene caused was talk of the city this morning, so Iwas kind of thankful for the masks we always wore. Well, those of us that wanted some of our identitykept secret, anyway, had them to wear

Moving toward the doors, I hear someone clear their throat as I grip the door handle. My eyes move tothe side when I see movement and Alpha Jake steps out from the alley up the side of the strip joint. Myheart rate quickens at seeing the man responsible for killing my sister.

“Harlow,” he says, stepping closer, and I yank the door open.

“Harlow, wait, just hear me out. It isn’t what you think I want to help you.” Alpha Jake says, and I scoff.His actions say otherwise.

“Help me? You killed my sister,”

“No, no, I didn’t. Zara is the reason I am here,” he tells me. Does he think I am an idiot? I know he killedher, and I even know how she died.

“Bullshit,” I snarl.

“I can explain. I had to say that. I” I step inside, ignoring him. It made me nervous that he was hereafter seeing him in the office the other week. Why was he still here? A shiver ran up my spine, but Iwasn’t worried about him snitching on me because then he would have to admit that he went lookingfor me. So instead, I head out the back to the staff area so I can change quickly.

However, when I come out, I replace him sitting at the bar, and my stomach drops….
