At that moment… I would have gladly chosen the shifters but they seemed to shrink back at the sight of Mr Dupree, their cocky expressions fading into apprehension.
The alley fell into an eerie silence as Mr Dupree’s imposing figure loomed at the entrance. My eyes darted between him and the shifters, my body growing tense with surprise and wariness.
First of all, what was he doing e? Second, why were the shifters looking scared? He was a human, if anything he should be the one backing away from them. Why did it seem they were shrinking under his gaze, looking at him sheepishly?
“Why is no one answering my question?” Mr Dupree chuckled – even that sounded sinister. “Is there a problem here?”
The leader of the shifters, the one that had tried to flirt with me in the café shook his head. “None, we were just leaving,” he muttered.

Swallowing hard, I murmured turning to Mr Dupree whose gaze was on me now. “They’re just lowlifes, I could have handled them.”
His lips curled into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “It didn’t look that way to me, Miss Lyla. Are you alright though? Did they try to attack you?” he asked, as his gaze flickered all over my body.
I felt exposed.
“No!” I shook my head eager to change the subject, I blurted out. “What are you doing here?” I winced internally at how accusatory it sounded.
If he was offended by my question he didn’t show it, instead, his expression softened, though it did little to ease my nerves. “I live in the neighbourhood,” he replied casually. “Xander and I were just taking an evening stroll. We were in the coffee shop a while ago

when I overheard those men talking about teaching someone a lesson.” His eyes bore into mine. “When I saw you heading towards the back door and those men leaving shortly after, I put two and two together.”
I shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze. There was something about the way he looked at me as if he could see right through me. “I didn’t realize I was followed. Thank you for helping me,” I said awkwardly, my fingers twitching as I resisted the urge to light another cigarette.
“You shouldn’t be in dark alleys at this hour,” he continued, his eyes straying to the cigarette pack peeking out of my pocket. “And sn woman. You should know better.”
g? You’re a
My cheeks burned at the condescending remark. I opened my mouth to retort but I thought better of it. Instead, I managed another tense, uncomfortable smile. “Yeah… I should probably head back inside,” I said taking a step towards the café’s back door. “Thank you for…intervening and saving me.”
