Chapter 15

Enyowas drove them back into the city on his bike, surprised at how nervous he was to introduce Elianna to his clan mates. For some reason, he really wanted them to accept her, though he didn’t understand why that should be.

They passed through a chain-link fence with warning signs to stay out, and no trespassing, and pulled up to the front door of an ugly-looking warehouse.

With a large gravel parking area in front, and another in back, along with two covered garages large enough to hold more cars than the clan had, the place was surrounded on three sides by forest. An ideal location for shifting into their cats and going for a run. Plus, it was only a mile from the EfPP building.

Enyowas shut off his bike.

Without taking her eyes from the large, dilapidated-looking building, Elianna got off and turned in a circle. “It’s very secluded.”

“It is,” he agreed.

“Is this really where you—your clan lives?” she asked as she followed him to the door.

“Home sweet home,” he said, then opened the door.

Elianna stepped inside and gasped, then shot him a look, eyebrow raised.

Enyowas shrugged, a pleased smile tugging at his lips. “We did major renovations.”

“I can see that,” Elianna said, taking in the modern furnishings of the large common room. Just to the side of them, stairs led to the second and third floors.

“We decided to keep the outside looking the way it did when we got the place. It keeps the humans away.” At least, it did most humans. They still got vagrants looking for a deserted place to lay their head, along with humans who enjoyed exploring buildings they thought abandoned and disregarded the signage.

They were quickly disabused of the notion that the place was vacant, and generally didn’t return.

He introduced Elianna to the clan mates presently on the main floor common room, and pointed out the game room, workout room, and clan kitchen. “Help yourself to anything, anytime,” he said, and walked her over to the far corner. A second set of stairs led to the floors above. “Under here is the safe room. Each floor has one.”

“You expecting problems?” Elianna asked, a little surprised. She’d noticed the security, and the men guarding the place.

“No, it just pays to be prepared.”

Enyowas felt how nervous Elianna was as she greeted everyone quietly and took it all in. “Are those where you sleep?” she asked, pointing to the numerous doors lining the back wall.

“Those are the quarters of our male clan mates who are single,” he said.

“Is that where you live?” she asked.

“No. Veldi, Ferno, Shabina, and I have rooms on the third floor. Come on, I want you to meet my sisters.” He led her back toward the front door, then up a set of polished wooden stairs to the second floor.

He pointed down a long hallway just past the stairs. “That’s where the single females live.”

“Is that where I’ll be staying?”

“It is,” he said and showed her into a very cozy living area where a
