When I walk up to him, he finally sees me. To my surprise, my mate runs to me and takes me into his arms, hugging me tight.
“Nora, thank Moon Goddess, you are fine...”
“Damian, what is going on? What happened?” I ask, worried.
Instead of answering, he turns around and starts yelling orders.
“Neal, I want this place empty and closed, right now. Nate, take the staff out, too. Everyone here gets the fuck out!”
The wolves start growling, and the customers run away in a panic, emptying the restaurant in seconds. I watch the scene, completely lost about what is going on. Damian looks furious; I’ve never seen his eyes so cold before! I grab his arm, trying to get his attention.
“Damian, tell me what’s going on!”
Neal who walks up to me, while still watching the wolves taking everyone else out of the restaurant.
“Your apartment was attacked, Nora.”
Oh, Moon Goddess. Attacked? Attacked how? By whom? Damian suddenly puts his arm under my thighs and picks me up, carrying me as he walks across the now almost empty restaurant. Before I can say a word, he takes me to the StaffRoom. Behind us, Nathaniel and Neal are following closely, while the wolves guard the entrance.
When we enter, Damian puts me down, but his arm stays firmly around my waist to keep me close.
“Damian, calm down, I’m okay. What happened?”
“Liam noticed something was wrong when he came back from school. When he went to check your apartment, he said the door was wide open, and the whole place has been sacked.”
Nate walks up to me, handing me his smartphone. I look at the pictures. Oh, my Goddess... I can barely recognize the apartment. Someone splashed every room with a red liquid, and some of the furniture was destroyed. The whole place was sacked, I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
“Oh, Moon Goddess...”
The last picture was taken in my bedroom. My wardrobe is on the floor, a lot of my clothes torn apart. Even the bed was shredded. But, most of all, on the glass wall, a message in the red liquid was left:YOU WILL BE MINE.”
I feel like I’m going to be sick looking at those words. Seeing my shocked expression, Damian takes the phone away from me, throwing it back to his brother and kisses my forehead to comfort me. He is just as agitated as I am, but I can tell he is trying hard to control himself right now, so I keep him close, my hands on his chest.
“It’s okay, Nora, I’ll find who the hell did this, I swear.”
His words are burning with anger, but he is still worried about me. I shake my head, slowly processing everything I just saw and heard.
“I can’t believe it... Is Liam okay?” I ask.
“He is okay, Nora, no one was there when he came up,” says Nate.
“It happened this afternoon. Everything was normal when I went there earlier,” Bobo says.
Bobo is right; he went back to get me clothes only a few hours ago.
“The surveillance cameras didn’t give anything,” says Neal, looking at his phone. “Someone disconnected them.”
“How the hell did they get in?” Growls Damian.
“Liam said the door’s lock was... shot. ...He found silver bullets.”
I gasp. Oh, Moon Goddess, this is serious. Someone armed with a gun to kill werewolves broke into my place. What if I had been there? Or if they had met Bobo? Or Tonia, or Liam?
“And the blood?” I ask. “Is it really blood?”
Moon Goddess, I hope it isn’t. So much of it would be really, really bad news. No one can answer me: Neal is now busy taking one call after another, speaking so fast I can’t understand a thing, and Nate is reading texts, too. I turn to Damian, and once again, his eyes are terrifying. My mate looks like he is about to kill someone. However, he can’t scare me, so I just lean onto his chest, and I feel his hand in my hair a second later.
“What do we do now?” I ask.
