getting a step into my territory.
I didn't expect him to come by the moment security called Viktor to state a group of agents from the CIA was here to investigate my penthouse. None of them knew that investigators were only approved by Viktor and seeing as Roberto was "dead" Viktor was the only one who still had say.
The decline didn't stop them from trying, and Onyx went to save the day while we were using the secret elevator to try to get to the private basement.
The elevator we were currently standing in as we waited for Jayce to clear us.
Onyx informed the others about what was happening, and Jayce hopped right onto the security cameras to see what we were dealing with. Nothing was going to fuck us, so he was now our eyes, and apparently Neo was going to "pass by" to ensure the garage was safe.
We already had a secure route and with a pinch of magic from Aurelia, we'd have a decoy appearance until we reached our destination.
I was currently in my female form because Aurelia said I'd need all the magic for our grand plan, and thus, with this waiting game of foolishness, it was best to revert back to my female self until I was in the car and ready for our operation.
With the new set of chosen attire, I was currently wearing a simple black tube top and black shorts. Probably odd in wintertime, but I'd be changing back in a few minutes and the goal was for no one to see us.
My hair was down, and I was using magic to cover the number of love marks Onyx and even Neo had left on my flesh. My eyes lowered to my hands, noticing that my magic was doing a fine job covering my new mate brands.
I disliked having to shield them, but no way would I let the public catch eyes on them. Humans and other shifter types may not know what these markings were, but those who clearly worked overtime to feign my death were on the hunt to ensure I was dead to the world.
Giving them information that I barely knew about with the showing of these mate markings would give them more ammunition to aim and fire in my direction.
Glancing over to my left, I took in Viktor's figure. He wore a fitted suit of black with a silver tie. His hair was gelled back, and today he wore black spectacles and black gloves, giving him a very sophisticated butler look.
The glasses were some special high-tech pair that connected with his earpiece and kept him in contact with Jayce if something suddenly came up while we were on the way. Adding the cool features that included a GPS projection, it looked like it would be a good accessory to have when he was driving me around.
"Jayce says we should be good in five minutes or less," Viktor announced.
"So we just gotta chill for now," I concluded and leaned against the rail and sighed. "I can't believe you're still functioning. Did you even sleep?"
"No," he replied. I was sure his eyes were on me, but I let mine close as I took a minute to just breathe. The double dose Aurelia gave me and the good breakfast courtesy of Onyx helped me feel way better in comparison to when I woke up, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit how anxious I still was.
If we were on the move to our destination, my adrenaline would be pumping through my veins and further hyping me up for this ultimate confrontation. But being stuck in this elevator was doing the opposite.
Anxiety, unnecessary thoughts, wishing I could have killed Garfield like I had his apparent brother.
I hated the fact that we didn't know who exactly our enemy was. Thus far, the three packs I'd been sold to had proven to be pains in our asses these past couple of months, but we put them in their places.
However, Garfield was on the enemy list, and we had no clue who was working alongside him. I wasn't forgetting about Elizabitch either. Either she was playing hide and seek or waiting for the next opportunity to pull another card against me.
There was no need to be frightened of her. I'd survived the car trap and proved I wasn't so easy to kill. She'd have to think of something better to try and leave me trembling, but I still wouldn't bow down to her malicious games.
Her enviousness
