Chapter 4: Rich and Powerful, and Dangerous

Ashley and Lee cared for the girl for a few days but it didn’t seem like her condition was changing. Lee mentioned it could be dangerous to move her while she was still unconscious, so I left her in my room and I moved to a room down the hall.

So far, she hadn’t woken up and Payne hadn’t reported back with any information about her.

We all gathered together for dinner in the bar most nights. Unlike the night the girl arrived, we weren’t always partying and drinking. I sometimes thought of it as a community meal because these shifters were as close to a community or a pack as I had.

I sat at the head of the table.

“Has anyone heard from Payne?” I asked as I finished off a glass of wine.

My men hurried to swallow whatever they were devouring to offer answers.

“Last I heard, he was heading east.”

“He hasn’t checked in for a few days.”

“He didn’t have anything new.”

I nodded and they all went back to their voracious eating. Unlike most of them, I’d been raised in a family that had strict table manner requirements and I had been hating it. It was refreshing to be around those who didn’t care what they looked like while eating, and just simply appreciate the enjoyment food would bring.

Three days and no one had heard anything new from Payne.

I poured myself another glass of wine and swirled it slowly around in the glass.

Usually, when Payne set out to find information on someone, he got answers very quickly. Of course, he usually had more to go on than a first name, which we discovered when going through her things.

Mila.

Sighing, I finished the wine and headed upstairs.

Someone so uniquely beautiful had to be known. She was the kind of girl that turned heads when she walked into a room and drew stares from across the street when she passed by. Someone had to have seen her and know something about her.

I walked past the door to my room. It was closed so the girl could rest undisturbed. One door down was where I would stay temporarily.
