Chapter 106 – Mates?

We casually followed the small group of men, keeping a fair distance to avoid detection. They headed towards the far back, to a large black marble archway that looked as though it were a solid wall. It was only as we drew nearer that I could see the aperture on either side; it wasn’t a wall, it was a rounded surface that divided two lavishly carved black marble staircases, embellished with gold.

Taking the opposing staircase, I turned to Catalina, wondering why she had paused at the top.

‘Why do you look so tense?’

‘I don’t know. I feel… nervous, ok?’ She shook away my outstretched hand to her to help steady her figure. ‘I don’t know how any of this is gonna go, we have no backup if anything goes wrong, and, goddess, it’s warm in here.’

‘Really?’ I hadn’t felt any temperature rise. If anything, it was far cooler on the stairway than it was in the club.

‘Shut up,’ she huffed, marching past me and fanning herself vigorously, her heels rapidly clicking on the marble as she sped away.

The further we descended, the more the clamour grew, nothing like the sophisticated sounds of the club above. These were guttural bellows of cheers, taunts, swearing in several languages and the sounds I would recognise anywhere; growls and roars.

The staircase ended in a huge underground basement, far less grand than upstairs, but it didn’t lack for its own opulence. The walls were clad in the same black marble as the stairs, threaded with dark green veins and gold leaf decorating the inlays. The crowd down here were far less civilised, but just as large, raucously massing around a huge silver mesh dome in the middle.

The centre was akin to an ancient amphitheatre, a circular sunken pit in the middle with tiered steps ascending to our level. Dotted around were men taking bets, exchanging money in huge sums with the onlookers.

I tried to mind-link Astennu and Adrian that we had the right place, but it felt strained, Adrian’s more so for not being a pack member of mine. Perhaps the silver dome was interfering or there was silver in the ceiling above?

With the cover of the crowd more focused on the fight that was raging, I pressed my earpiece, hoping it would be received from down here.

“Aste?” I wasn’t sure my voice carried enough over the blaring hollers around me.
