Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 109: A Sudden Stop

Moana

As we took the elevator down to the lobby, Kelly’s demeanor almost instantly shifted from warm and apologetic to stiff and uncomfortable. I thought that maybe she was just acting like this because she and Ella didn’t always get along very well, so I tried not to think too hard about it. Besides, with Ella here, I was certain now that Kelly wouldn’t try to pull anything. She wouldn’t start any fights or play any tricks with a child around. It almost felt as though Ella knew that somehow, and that was why she wanted to come so badly. But I knew that was silly; Ella was only eight years old, and too young to understand these sorts of things. In my mind, Ella probably just wanted to come because she overheard that we would be having fun and didn’t want to be left out, and after the way that she reacted the last time Edrick and I went out without her, I didn’t want to disappoint her again.

Kelly had her car pulled up front. Much to my surprise, there was no driver; she got into the driver’s seat herself, which was a bit of a shock to me since she was so wealthy. Either way, I got Ella safely situated in the back seat and then climbed into the passenger seat. Kelly then pulled away from the curb and began to drive.

“So, um… Does anyone want to listen to music?” Kelly asked as she reached forward and began to fiddle with the radio.

“Sure,” I replied, just wanting to fill the awkward silence caused by Ella’s presence, which clearly made Kelly uncomfortable. Kelly finally settled on a classic rock radio station, and none of us spoke.

As Kelly drove through the city, however, I eventually began to realize that she wasn’t headed toward the hospital where my appointment was. I tried to push it off as a detour at first, but I began to get nervous. Meanwhile, Mina started to get even more uneasy, and urged me to start prodding Kelly for answers as to where she was headed.

“Isn’t the hospital that way?” I said, pointing.

Kelly nodded and smiled. “Yes. Sorry, I just have to run an errand really quick. It’ll only take a moment.:

“Oh,” I replied, shifting uncomfortably in my seat. “Okay.”

I couldn’t help but wonder why she would be running an errand now, right before my appointment. But then again, I figured that she did come to pick me up a little early, so we had time.

And yet, es we drove further end further ewey from the hospitel end into some of the more sketchy neighborhoods of the city, I couldn’t deny the growing pit of dreed in my stomech es I wondered where Kelly wes teking me. Wes she reelly going to try something sinister now, with Elle in the cer? I turned eround momenterily to check on Elle, whose eyes were glued to the beck of Kelly’s heed. Even just seeing the fervor in Elle’s eyes mede me worry even more; I hed never seen her look et enyone like thet.

Two of the men went on either side of the car, while the third man stood in front, watching. The men were large, clearly werewolves, and all of them looked equally scary with face tattoos and sinister expressions.

as if they were specifically here for me, as though they had a specific goal in mind. The way that they walked straight up to Kelly’s car not even moments before she disappeared made me realize now that I never should have trusted her, and neither should Edrick. I felt Mina raging inside of me, but she
