Chapter 168 Ready

• Gabe gushed about my new outfit and demanded another picture of my stilettos. After I sent him one, I grabbed my go-to black Trench Coat that buttoned at my rib and fell to the floor, even with my heels. The last thing I wanted was to be seen walking around the apartments in my night clothes. At our last apartments, I was confused as “a lady of the night”. I’ve had enough experiences with creeps to know they’re everywhere. Unlike at Ocean Side, there’s no security or bouncers here. Unlike some werewolves, Gabe and I try to be discreet about what we are. So unless they try to hurt us, I’m not fighting anyone.
• My heels click as I walked out of the elevator. Instantly, I searched the surrounds as I made my way toward the car. I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching. The headlights flashed as I unlocked the door and my heart was pounding in my ears. The first thing I did when I hopped into the car was lock it. Not much a locked door could do against a werewolf attacker, but it made me feel safe.
• The lights blurred by and in no time I pulled into the parking lot behind the club that was for workers. It was packed, which was good. More people meant more clients and more tips. I stepped out, readjusted my coat, and locked the car. There was something about wearing heels that made me feel powerful. As I approached the dressing room door, a dark figure stepped out from the shadows. I let out a sigh of relief when I noticed who it was.
