Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 49

I giggled at that thought as Harry slipped his hand into mine and guided me to the entry of the bar.

His hand was warm and inviting, and I felt thrilled to be stepping into a bar. I had never been to one before and I was not sure why he had brought me here, but everybody around me was chatting happily and grooving to the music so I let myself loose a little.

Two big men that I doubted were alphas of some kind, were standing at the entrance.

“Bouncers,” Harry mouthed, and he put on his mask again.

“I don’t have one,” I said, and he pulled out a pink colored one from his jacket. “I have got you covered”

I put on the mask and stepped inside the bar with him. The atmosphere was electric. Dazzling lights were flashing at regular intervals and there was smoke all around.

Everybody was dressed in nice modern clothes and I was glad Harry had informed me to change into something nice.

Not a single person was in a hoodie. A few girls were grooving to the music already, and I saw a few couples making out in the dark corners of the bar.

Harry guided me through the crowded place and pulled me to one of the less noisy corners.

“You are looking fabulous, Zenovia,” He said as he gave me a quick once over. Harry was wearing simple black jeans and a red T-shirt but he looked nice too.

But instead of blurting out a compliment, I asked. “Why did you pick a bar to meet of all the places? It is so noisy here” Harry lowered his face and whispered in my ear. “Because your rich brat won’t suspect you to be here of all the places” Well, he had a point. I would never go to a bar on my own as I did not drink and could barely move like a stick to call it a dance unless I was in my room, alone, and no one was watching me.

Then I would throw caution out of the window. But not in a crowded place filled with extremely good looking people. “So, what is the plan? How am I going to get out?” I asked, coming straight to the point.

But Harry had other plans in mind, it seemed.

“Loosen up a little, girl. I wanted you to get out of your shell first”

I threw him a confused look. “I do not have the money to pay for anything except the dollars you gave me. And now I just have $400. I wish to look for a job first and repay you.”

I said so that he would not feel I was leeching off him.

But Harry only placed a hand on my shoulder and replied, “Work, job, money. Is that all you think about? Are you pot listening? Get comfortable first and then we talk about your escape plan.”
