The drive to the hotel was quiet; everyone seemed to be in their thoughts. The hotel was a
bit outside of the human town, and I had only heard of it before. It is really tall and looks
super expensive to stay in. Landon helps me out of the car, and I can’t help but gawk at
what’s in front of me.
Walking inside didn’t dampen my shock. Everything inside is so elegant and expensive
looking. It’s hard to take everything in because there is so much to see. I don’t know how,
but when I finally come to terms with what I’m seeing, we are already in the elevator. A
glass elevator at that, so I can see everything as we ride up.
“What do you think?” Landon’s question catches me off guard while I’m examining the
floors below, watching everything get smaller the higher the elevator goes.
“I think that i”m worried I will break something. If that were to happen, I wouldn’t be able
to be the Luna…..I would spend all my time working here to pay off my debts.” Lincoln and
Landon laugh at this, and I blush a bit. Sometimes I tend to say whatever is in my head
without taking a second to think first.
“We can stay here whenever you like. This is can be one of our homes away from home
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen we just want a break.”
“What do you have stock in the company or something?” Lincoln smirks.
“Or something,” he replies with a small shoulder shrug. I know that the pack has
businesses that they use to pull in funds for the pack itself, but we weren’t in the
hospitality business. Maybe I need to do some more research before taking the oath. How
horrible would it be for the Luna not to know much about her pack? I look between Lincoln
and Landon waiting for someone to explain.
“We kind of…….own this hotel.” Landon has his eyes on the view behind us, watching the
floors pass by as we ascend.
“When did the pack get into the hospitality game?” Landon chuckles, but it’s Lincoln who
responds.
“Not the pack…..us. Landon and I own this hotel, and it’s separate from the pack
businesses.” My eyes get really wide, and I’m at a loss for words. The twins have a
separate business, and from the looks of it, it’s widely successful. Landon speaks up this
time.
“We wanted something separate, just in case. YOu never know what can happen, and we
wanted that extra security. Besides, the pack has been dealing in security for so long that
it would make sense for us to want to tip our toe on the hospitality side of things.
The elevator dings, and we are on the 50th floor. Fifty floors! That’s just extremely crazy.
Lincoln steps out and holds his hand out to me while Landon makes sure to stand in the
doorway to keep the doors from trying to shut. I look around at this elegant entryway; it
reminds me of the lobby. There is a lot of glass and modern pieces. The running colors are
white and gold.
I look around and only see one door. “Welcome to the penthouse. Our penthouse.” Lincoln
opens the door in front of me and holds it open for me to step through. The minute I’m
inside, I check my surroundings and try not to faint. This is a lot to take in. I had no idea
the twins would own anything this extravagant. This promises to be an interesting few
days.

They left! They really just packed up a car and took off……to her! Just the thought of that
makes me cringe, and it doesn’t make my wolf, Bella, happy either. Bella and I have
always been on the same page when it comes to different things. I never really had to
fight her on anything. I thought I would have lost her when I rejected my fated, but she
was okay with my choice.
I’ve been walking in the woods, trying to figure out how to get us out of this mess. Aida
took to tears and the bed with dad trying to get her out of both. I can only take oh so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmuch when Aida is acting like that, and I reached my fill some hours ago. I rather take
action and make some changes while Aida is content to let things happen and wait for
someone else to change things for her.
“Looking a little lost there? Could you use some company?” I know who it is without
turning around. Neal is a warrior here, and we tend to hook up from time to time. I had
Landon believing that I was pure and wasn’t ready to let that go yet. The truth is that I just
didn’t want to be with him unless I absolutely had to be. The only purpose would be to
have an heir, and I had no issue doing that duty; I just didn’t want to do anything for ‘fun.’
“I’m not really in the mood.”
“Oh, come on. You look like you could use a distraction, and you know how good I am with
being a distraction.” I don’t respond but continue to walk. “You know, you did look
gorgeous up there yesterday.” I falter in my steps. He is right; I did look really good in my
dress. I feel Neal grab my hand, and I don’t fight him.
He leads me to a big tree and pushes me against it. He starts to kiss my neck while
grabbing my breasts. I don’t really care for the foreplay, but Neal usually seems to need it.
All of a sudden, an idea hits me. There is a great way to get the twins out of the way so I
can appeal to Portia directly. It’s so perfect that I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner.
With my newfound energy, I grab Neal and push him up against the tree instead. A wicked
gin appears on his face as I start to kneel. He knows what’s about to happen, and I’m
happy to give to the person who inspired me.
