Chapter 55: Night Out IV

"We’re sorry, Athena. We will surely find her," Ewan said, struggling to calm the fire flashing in Athena’s eyes, struggling to become visible to her.

Athena shot him a glance, sharp enough to cut through glass, before turning away. "If you’re going to help me find her in this chaos, then let’s hob with it..."

She started moving toward the bar area, hoping her friend had stopped there for a drink.

Behind her, Ewan and his friends watched, lost for words—not just at her sharp dismissal but also at the enthralling sexiness radiating from her.

Ewan, though, didn’t like the fact that other men were gaping at her.

Ewan didn’t blame them.

Ewan nodded resolutely and quickly took in Athena’s fiery demeanor. It was somewhat hypnotic, honestly, but now was not the time to lose focus.

"Look, if you find her, we’ll meet at the parking lot," Ewan said, almost like a trainer at a race. "Check out the whole downstairs area, the storage houses, and the private bars..."

Sandro nodded, and with a grumpy Zane in tow, they marched off.

Ewan hurried after Athena, who, upon noticing he was alone, transitioned from fiery to confused. "Where are the others?" she asked, her brows furrowed slightly.
