The tricky part now was finding Dew. The hotel was big and with his enhanced hearing and smell, Fergus could tell that it was packed with people tonight.
"Maybe I should’ve let myself get used to her scent." He groaned as he stepped out of the room and walked down the halls.
He perked up his ears, listening carefully for anything that would give away her location. A name, anything...
Suddenly, he heard something. A voice.
"Hehe... Got ya." Fergus licked his lips sadistically as he walked into the lobby. There, he spotted two girls having a discussion.
"Oh my gosh, I still find it hard to believe." One of the girls muttered with a giddy expression.
When Fergus turned his attention to the other girl across the large lobby, a wicked grin crept up his face. Dew.
"You’re telling me..." Dew had a blush on her face as she spoke. "It’s so confusing though. Like, how does it even work? How can a wolf be mated to a fey, it’s unheard of."
The other girl, whose scent told Fergus that she was a wolf, sniggered. "Girl, it’s not ’unheard’ of. My sister dated an elf for a while. Relationships between both races are possible."
Dew sighed. "Yeah, but this isn’t just a ’relationship’. We’re fated by the moon goddess herself. That’s... A lot to take in."
The wolf girl shrugged. "Well, I guess you should just see how it goes. From what you’ve told me so far, this guy sounds dreamy. Not to mention he’s the Gamma’s son. Gosh, Kylo is a hottie; you hit the jackpot, girl!" She nearly squealed at the end.
Fergus rolled his eyes. He’d die of boredom at this rate.
Eventually, the girls parted ways and Dew went back to work. He quickly hid his face as he peeped and watched her climb up the stairs.
Stealthily, he followed her until she made her way into a room. With his hearing, Fergus was able to tell that the room was empty. Perfect.
He looked around the hallway before using his vamp speed to waltz directly into the room. He closed the door behind him, causing Dew, who was packing up some dirty dishes, to jump with fright.
"What... What are you doing here...?" She arched an eyebrow, trailing off when Fergus stepped closer to her. The room was dark, but the moonlight shining through the window provided some illumination.
He stepped into the light, revealing a sinister grin on his face.
"Why hello there you pretty little thing." He winked as he took a few steps closer. "Forgive me for not visiting you earlier. You have no idea how hard it was for me to find you in this crowded hotel."
Dew blinked awkwardly as she eyed Fergus. "Uhh... Aren’t you a friend of Kylo’s?" She asked with a curious gaze before realization dawned on her face. "Oh, right. Cullen, isn’t it? Nice to see you again."
What in the unholy hell?
Fergus’s eyes snapped into a frown as he peered keenly at Dew. She seemed sincere. She wasn’t even afraid and concluded that he was just a friend. She didn’t even bother weighing the odds of a ’wolf’ coming to her workplace and stalking her.
Damn, this girl was naive! Far more naive than even Isleen. The similarities with Isleen were almost uncanny that he felt like using her as a substitute and fucking her now.
But he knew better. Time was running out and he needed to wrap up his mission soon.
