Chapter 9

Emmy

Evan took me into New Ivormoor the day after our visit to the Royal Council. Eliane entered estrus. She and Vito were locked in their room. Hailey was off in Baron’s office, writing an updated history of our people. The journal Evan provided gave her an enormous amount of information to utilize. I didn’t understand what a sanitized version of history was. Hailey’s explanation helped me with that. Big chunks of history were missing, or rewritten. I wished her the best of luck with writing before dashing out the door to meet Evan.

As I expected, he stood at the ready, looking delicious in dark wash jeans, and a blue, button-down shirt. Baron allowed us to use the armored limousine. Evan’s security detail accompanied us. New Ivormoor during the day was even more spectacular than it was at night. Skyscrapers clad in reflective glass, and metal, gleamed as the limousine moved through the downtown district.

“Center Street,” Evan remarked at my curious gaze out the window. “It’s where we can find anything we would need to wear, eat, or consume in some fashion. Think of it as a city market.”

The limousine came to a halt in front of a tall building with the words Fils Classiques in gleaming letters, several feet high, affixed over the entrance. Evan took my arm as we entered the building. Two of the men accompanying us followed.

“What is this place?”

“It’s one of the finest department stores in New Ivormoor. We should be able to find anything you’ll need here.” Evan led me to an elevator. We exited the elevator on the second floor.

My eyes grew wide in amazement as I saw clothing as far as the eye could see. Various types of material in every color I could imagine. “Everything is so beautiful,” I murmured.

“Why don’t you select some things to try on, Emmy?” Evan encouraged me.

I made my way through the racks of clothing. Uncertain what size to select, I held a few dresses against my body until I found one that seemed the same size as the dress I now wore. One of Evan’s security people followed at a distance. I suppose it was Evan’s way of giving me some freedom. I’m not certain how much time passed. The selection of clothing was more than I could easily carry. I made my way to a nearby dressing room.

The Beta standing at a counter outside the dressing rooms glanced at me with an arched brow. “May I help you?” she snapped.

“I would like to try these on.”

The instant the words were out of my mouth, the Beta frowned, and perfectly manicured brows drew together. She clucked her tongue at me, arms crossed on her chest, a toe tapping impatiently. “I’m afraid all the dressing rooms are taken.”

All the dressing room doors stood open. I knew she was being dishonest, that much was clear. “But I see an open door there. I won’t be long. I just need to find a few things …”

“The rooms are taken.
