Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 29

Valen POV

I finally told Marcus about Everly, and he had organized patrols to run through the reserve for me to keep an eye on the back end of her hotel. Someone had broken the fence, and I was organizing it to be fixed; hopefully, sometime today someone would be able to go out there, or I would go myself.

Marcus and I had just finished at the library. No luck. We found no records of an Everly Summers from before five years ago, nobody by the name Everly at all, yet even Marcus said the name sounded familiar. Walking outside, we are about to head to the council chambers to look in the birth records or any records, even bank statements.

The only thing we managed to find was the hotel’s data and something stating she was in the hospital almost five years ago. Yet it didn’t say what for or which part of the hospital; the lady behind the counter told us to try the werewolf council because she couldn’t access her files for some reason either.

“That name sounds so familiar,” Marcus says, shaking his head.

“It’s right on the tip of my tongue. I just can’t, for the life of me, figure out where I have heard it, also. Don’t you think it is a little odd that not even you can access her files?”

“Yes, obviously,” I tell him.

“She has to be hiding something. Why are there no records of an Everly or a Summers? Everly is a unique name. I don’t know anyone with that name, yet it somehow sounds familiar,” Marcus ponders.

Marcus hits the button on his key fob, the blinkers flash, signaling it was unlocked, but we both stopped dead in our tracks.

“What the hell, what happened to my car,” Marcus shrieks while rushing over to his beloved car. He just brought it a week ago, having liked mine so much. I press my lips in a line, glancing around for any culprits, and spot the library’s security cameras that point at the car park.

“Alphahole?” Marcus says, and I walk over to the front of his

car.

“They have mistaken me for you. Which bastard would do this?” he growls angrily.

“They removed your tire valves too,” I point out his flattened tires. He starts shaking, fur sprouting along his arms in his anger. He spent all day yesterday polishing and cleaning it and even made me take my shoes off before I got in it this morning.
