ADESSA.

My hands were trembling, and I knew I couldn't drive further. I had been in this car for the last four hours, driving slowly and carefully to make sure I would never hit anyone or anything. Thankfully, no one was following me, or I would easily get caught. I didn't like driving. But I had no choice. I had to get away before someone found the bodies of the men I killed.

I turned off the engine and rested my forehead against the steering wheel.

I had no idea where to go.

I ended up in Bayson Bay, a human territory. Although humans were very much aware of the existence of shifters like me, we continued to live in harmony. But for their safety, they seldom travel or stay in shifters' territory, but we were often found in theirs.

So, I knew I could thrive well in this place. The problem was, I had to hide my identity, and this place being near Kael and Draco's pack, I would easily be caught here. I needed to go further.

I wasn't even sure if the men I killed were just ordinary messengers or held high positions. Either way, I was sure Alpha Draco would look for me if we didn't arrive by nightfall in their territory.

I had a few more hours ahead of me before he'd start wondering where we were. Unless someone had already found the dead bodies and informed him.

But where will I go? I didn't have anything with me.

My wallet was in my luggage, and I didn't see it anywhere in the car. They were probably still on the sidewalk where they grabbed me.

"I think I have a little money in my pants," I mumbled to myself, and my body jerked up.

I eased back against my seat and stretched my leg before inserting my hand into my right pocket.
