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 .

I watched as they turned and hurried away .
As they disappeared from my line of vision , I found myself alone with Mr D.
The relief I felt at the shifter’s departure was quickly overshadowed by a new kind of unease .
I forced a nonchalant smile as I stepped back , trying to suppress the urge to run .
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 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 .
