ALESSIA I stood in front of Azriel as he typed on his phone, a small smile tugging at my lips. I still couldn’t believe I had spent almost five hours with him—on a date that was supposed to last only thirty minutes. And the strangest part? I didn’t want to leave… didn’t want to go back home. This place felt… comforting. He lifted his gaze to me. “He’ll be here soon.” I smiled and nodded quickly. Instead of heading back to the hotel—which was a thirty-minute drive—he had asked someone to bring my car over so I could leave from here. It was already 5:00 p.m. This was the longest I had stayed in the BloodNight pack since taking this contract. This might sound funny, but I'm kind of glad I took the contract. Otherwise, how would I have seen such an amazing place in the BloodNight pack?
