Walking along the winding corridor, I was on edge, constantly looking back. The hotel was very quiet; I hadn’t encountered a single staff member. The quiet was… unsettling.
After walking for a while, and no one was following me, I relaxed slightly.
My wolf was relaxed, “PERHAPS WE ARE OVERTHINKING! IF VERA WINTER WANTED TO USE UNDERHANDED METHODS, SHE WOULD HAVE DONE SO BEFORE, SHE WOULDN’T HAVE WAITED UNTIL WE WAS LEAVING HER SON.”
It was a pity about the compensation money, but I knew it was a drop in the ocean for the Winter Family. Vera Winter wasn’t that stupid.
I passed the corner and would reach the lobby soon..
I checked the time.7:40 pm. I could contact Liam, I texted him: I’ve arrived, at…
Before I finished typing the last two words, a female waiter in a black uniform suddenly walked out from around the corner and bumped into me. The waiter quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” She reached out to help me.
“It’s okay, I’m fine, no…”
Before I finished my sentence, a sharp, cold pain shot through my neck. My heart sank, and I tried to push her away but my vision blurred. I tried to transform to wolf, but my wolf lost consciousness already. The waiter smiled strangely.
She held me tighter. “Miss, are you okay? Which room are you staying in? Over there, right? Okay, I’ll take you back.”
After talking to herself, she forcibly “helped me toward a quieter corridor.
“Help…”
I was terrified. My strength was rapidly draining, and I couldn’t even call for help. Everything. around me became distant and hazy, my soul seemed to fall into a deep cave….
Who could save me….
I used all my strength to reach for my phone which I had slipped into my pocket when I was being bumped into. The phone still had the unfinished message. I used all my remaining strength to type and press send.
Elsewhere. Xander, having just finished meeting with a client, was closing his eyes to rest in a courtyard of the hotel. He had drunk a little wine and was slightly tipsy.
The night wind blew through his hair, lifting it before gently falling back onto his sharp brow
bones.
“Ding ding-
A text message notification sounded in the silent air.
Liam took out his phone and looked. He had been waiting for my message. He smiled, but as he read, his brow furrowed.
“Master.”
“What’s wrong?”
Xander responded indifferently, opening his eyes. Liam bent down and handed him the phone.“T made an appointment with Mr. Wells for tonight at eight o’clock. She sent a message saying she’s arrived, but… the last two words are strange, Master. Can you help me take a look and see what they mean?”
Xander was speechless. He glanced at him indifferently, blaming him for acting on his own before looking at the message: I’ve arrived, at…held mi.
Ш РРН
His brow furrowed slightly, then a cold light flashed in his eyes. His wolf went from relaxed to alert. He raised his hand and tapped the video call button.
Liam was surprised.“Master, you…”
Xander raised his hand to silence him.
Liam was puzzled. The video call connected. The picture showed a hazy, dimly lit orange–gray scene. He could faintly hear footsteps, the sound of shoes dragging on the ground, and intermittent, rapid breathing.
“Help… help… The desperate cry quickly turned into a muffled sound. But werewolves have incredibly keen hearing, and Xander caught every word of the unusual sound without missing a beat.
Something was wrong!
Xander hung up the video call seriously. “Ask the hotel if Sophia Wells has been there.”
Liam quickly called and received a report. The front desk said a beautiful lady came around seven o’clock, saying she had an appointment and left a suit. Judging from the description, it should be Mr. Wells. She disappeared afterward…”
