CHAPTER 103 – LOOK LIKE A COUPLE?
Astennu
“Here,” Catalina handed each of us a small circular earpiece on the tip of our fingers. “We may not need them, but we don’t know
exactly what we’re walking into.”
I caught the little switch and flicked it on, pressing it into my ear. Aasim whined, wrapping his paws over his head, and my eye
winced at the high-pitched static noise emitted. Luckily, it settled before I ripped it out and crunched it underfoot.
“What about scent cover?” Adrian pulled out a canister from one of the bags stuffed into the trunk of our rental SUV, shaking it.
“Best to leave it,” I took it from him before he could spray and threw it back. “If it’s only humans inside, which I doubt, it’ll be
pointless. But if there’s wolves in there, we don’t want to be caught deliberately suppressing our scents. How would we explain
it? Same with weapons. We need to look like regulars, which means strolling in like we’ve done it a million times.”
“Which reminds me,” Catalina reached in her clutch, pulling out two gold bands. “In absolutely no way will it fool the bouncer on
the front door, but at a glance, for walking around on the inside, it should give the appearance we belong.”
She offered one to Badru and the other to me. “It’s a cheap plastic, so if you need to shift, it’ll snap apart easily enough.”
From what we had seen of the couples and small groups entering, only one person in the entourage needed the ring. It was a
tight fit, but a lick of my little finger and the cheap ring squeezed on snuggly.
As prepared as we could be for walking blindly into a fight ring that dealt in werewolf trafficking and posed as a nightclub, we
headed down and across the street with quick steps. The cold winter air should have bit into my skin but the only thing biting into
me was mine and my brother’s agitation. Our mate was close, closer than she or our pup had felt in over two months. We were
finding them tonight and my wolf wouldn’t have it end any other way.
We approached the alleyway from the opposite end to where we had watched from the penthouse, wanting to avoid the front
entrance and the gaze of the bouncers. All we had to do now was wait for a member of staff to come wandering out, leaving the
side door wide open for us to somehow sneak in.
‘Three Alphas and a dipshit warrior sneaking anywhere feels like a stretch,’ Aasim paced as the minutes ticked on with no
I wiped a hand down my face. ‘Probably not, but we’re not fighting our way in either. This is our best option, so zip it and focus.’
‘Guys, we’re up,’ Catalina slapped my arm and shoved Badru’s back, nodding towards the door swinging open. ‘It’s a man and
he smells human. I’ll flirt to distract him and you three slip past.’
‘And what if he’s gay?’ I pulled her back with a tug of her shoulder.
‘Then I guess it’s up to one of you pretty boys to go flirt,’ she patted my cheek, smirking at my uncomfortable grimace. ‘That’s
what I thought, so let me work. Besides, how can he resist all this?’
She wiggled her body, which I guessed was supposed to be seductive. In no way did any part of me react to her and, from the
looks of it, neither did it affect my twin or Adrian, given their blank expressions.
Sighing, she turned the corner, shaking her head as she went. ‘Why do I bother asking three mated men?’
“Hey,” she casually approached the man who faced away and was busy fishing out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket.
“Anglaise? Espagnole?”
“Oui, I speak a little English,” he replied in a heavily French-accented voice.
“Any chance I can bum one of those? I’m having the worst night.”
He offered her the packet, flicking out one of the white sticks and held up the lighter, shielding it from the breeze to light it for her.
I could only hope that her coy smile and his nearness to her, as he lit up, meant Catalina’s diversion was working. She took a
deep drag and expelled the smoke high into the air, flicking the tip away of smouldering embers as though she was a pro.
The three of us remaining crept as quietly as we could to the open door, wedged ajar by a small brick to prevent the staff from
being locked out. Catalina kept the man’s attention squarely on her, talking a fraction louder than normal to cover our faint
footsteps.
“The guy I’m seeing invites me out for this awesome night and then decides to bring his wife, leaving me out here looking this
fabulous with no one and nowhere to go. Can you believe that? He ditched me for the wife he hates! I’ve been sucking his...”.
Her voice faded as we inched our way inside to a softly lit service corridor. I felt it the moment we passed the threshold of the
door. My skin tingled as did the back of my mind, an uncomfortable itch manifesting as we passed through a metallic barrier.
‘You felt that, too?’ I mind-linked my brother.
‘Yeah, silver. The building must be lined with it. We won’t be mind-linking with the outside.’
in, now.”
‘Ok, follow my lead, look straight ahead and walk like you know where you’re going,’ my twin took charge, striding ahead. This
was his strong suit; how to act in the moment and proceed with the situation at hand.
Badru and I took a brief second to focus on our aura, the innate power that pulsated from within from our wolves’ spirits, and
dampened it, masking the energy that announced our presence as Alphas. With quick steps, I followed him, Adrian just behind
me, and the three of us hurried as though we were walking with purpose down the corridor. We only passed one member of staff,
by a stroke of luck, who turned a corner and disappeared through a pair of swinging doors without raising their head or noticing
us once.
Ahead of us, a set of much more ornate doors stood, fitted with tinted glass. On the other side, a room filled with people, swirled
around, obscured by the partition wall to hide the service entrance comings and goings; a feature that would work for us to slip in
amongst the other patrons.
‘Get through the doors!’ Catalina sped towards us, her heels in her hands.
She shoved us through the doors, hushed their swing behind us and slid her heels back on. Cupping her hands around her eyes,
she pressed her face to the glass for a better view of the service corridor.
‘Ok, he’s not following, yet,’ she released a huge sigh, just audible enough over the din. ‘I had to make out with the guy and then
promise to blow him in the bathroom to get him to let me in. So we need to split. It was gross enough having to kiss him, no way
am I having his pencil d**k anywhere near me.’
She grabbed hold of Badru’s arm, much to his aggravation, and clung to his side, swivelling her head back to Adrian and me.
‘Can you two try and look like a couple?’
‘We’re not drumming his head like a bongo, what more does she want?’ My wolf grumbled, laying his head on his paws in a pout.
I swallowed my pride and bit the bullet. Catalina had taken a hit for the team and now it was my turn. Reluctantly, I offered my
arm for Adrian to take, already mentally deleting that this night happened.
‘Well? I’m not taking yours!’
‘Fine,’ he rolled his eyes and settled his hand in the crook of my elbow. “But I get to be the big spoon in bed tonight, big boy.”
“That’s better, I guess. Let’s go, daddy,” Catalina swiftly slapped Badru’s ass, pulling him to the left of the partition wall.
“You slap my ass again, woman...” my brother’s low, hissing voice faded into the babble of the club.
Yanking Adrian with me, we exited to the right of the wall and seamlessly blended into the crowd. I kept an eye on the direction
my brother went, wanting to keep as far apart as possible. The disguise of a clean-shaven face and fake glasses I had been
forced into by Catalina would only go so far.
