Last are the lone or loner wolves. These are wolves who decide that pack life just isn’t for them, and they prefer being alone. Of course, they don’t have the pack scent, but theirs isn’t putrid like those of rogues and banished wolves. They actually smell pretty normal, all except for having a pack scent.
“I’ve got an idea.” Before I can question her about it, she begins chanting in a low voice so that the surrounding humans don’t hear.
“What did you do?” I asked curiously once she’s done.
“I masked your scent… All you have to do now is sneak in and tell your Alpha what you came here to tell him.”
“He’s not my damn Alpha. He is nothing to me. The only connection I have to him is this baby, and right now I wish he or she were someone else’s baby.”
I didn’t mean to growl at her, but I hated Alec. How could I not after every damn thing he did to me? He’s a bastard and the lowest of the lowest of scums.
She raises her hand in the air in surrender, backing away from me. “Okay fine… Your baby daddy then.”
“Can we just get this over with?”
She nods her head and takes my hand again.
We started walking and entered the building. My eyes kept scanning the area, hoping that even though I had my hoodie on, no one would recognize me.
I’ve been here hundreds of times because of my friendship with Piper. Every corner of the place holds memories that are now too painful to remember. I was once happy and all that has been taken away from me.
The security guards sniffed a little, but let us pass without a word.
Ashford Corporation was the largest privately owned security company. Alec was the CEO and their services catered to the likes of celebrities, presidents and senators. He was not only powerful in the werewolf world, but also in the business and human world.
Most of those that worked here were werewolves, but they also had some vampires and witches. With our abilities and strength, they were better suited to protect the people who came here seeking bodyguards.
Alec decided that only the supernaturals would work for him. Piper once told me it was so that they could better hide the identities of those here. It would be pretty hard to hide from a human when one walked into the office cafeteria and found some vampires drinking blood from a blood bag.

It will take us straight to his office floor.”
It would also minimize the chances of someone realizing I was here before I had the chance to talk to Alec.
We headed to the underground parking lot. I ignore the looks that I get as we walk. They were probably wondering if I was a celebrity and that’s why I was hiding my face.
Once we get there, I look around to make sure there is no one around.
“It needs an access code,” Raven states the obvious and I’m tempted to roll my eyes at her.
“I’ve got this,” I said before inputting the four-digit code.
I’m relieved when the light turns green and the doors open. Deep down, I was afraid that they may have changed the pass code after I escaped.
“How did you know the code?” she asks suspiciously. “I thought you and Alec weren’t close.”
“We aren’t. I used to come here all the time with Piper. Alec gave her the code, and she has never hidden it from me.” Damn, I miss my best friend, but I also can’t forget her betrayal. I can’t forget how she turned her back on me. Yes, I know blood is thicker than water, but she knows me. She’s known me since we were little girls. How could she think I would hurt Alec? That I would come between him and his fated mate?
We enter the elevator and push back the painful thoughts. What was done was done. There is no other way except to move forward.
