Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 261

Chapter 12

Not long after the truck leaves my car in the parking lot, I wait for the girls on the curb. Zoe gets out of the taxi first as it

stops beside me. Zoe pays for the cab, and I help her grab her stuff from the trunk.

“I never knew this place was here,” she says, looking up at the vast hotel, “kinda creepy, it looks haunted,” she adds, and I chuckle. “Anyway, I am so glad to see you again. I have been so excited I barely slept a wink last night.” She gives me a big hug.

“So, is this everything?” I ask her, looking down at the stroller and duffle bag.

“Yep, that’s everything, our life in a bag. Pathetic, isn’t it?”

“No, see that piece of scrap metal,” I tell her, pointing at my busted wagon. She nods her head.

“That was home sweet home,” I tell her, and she laughs. “Seriously, as for baby stuff, don’t even worry about it. Valarie went on a shopping spree. The room is packed with

everything, baby. So much so we may have to sleep outside to fit it all in the room,” I tell her.

“What, really? How long have you known Valarie?” she asks.

“Met her yesterday. She is lovely. I have never met anyone like her before,” I tell Zoe, and she smiles just as a green Daihatsu charade pulls up next to us, honking its horn a few times.

“Thanks, bro,” Macey says, punching her brother in the shoulder and climbing out before tapping the roof.

“Hi, girls,” her brother calls out, and we both wave to the stranger.

“Fuck off, Blake, stop hitting on my friends. They aren’t interested,” Macey scolds her brother as he waves to us. Macey flips him off, and he laughs, driving off down the road.

“Sorry about him. He is a sleaze, so try to stay away from him unless you want another baby,” Macey chuckles, shaking her head.

“Noted,” I tell her, and she quickly hugs us. She had on short shorts and a cut–off shirt showing her belly button, her hair pulled in a bun, and a pair of boots that she said she

borrowed from her brother, as well as a tool belt around her hips.

“Brother is a handyman,” she tells us when she catches both of us looking at it.

“So this is it, huh, damn, this place is a dump,” Macey says as we stand in the parking lot, looking up at the building. The bones are good mostly, but she was right; it was definitely a
