Chapter 28: Nathalie

Driving around downtown Los Angeles at night wasn’t on Nathalie’s list of favorite things to do. The streets were deserted, and she was a little scared. Worse, though, she was lost. Her car was an old model not equipped with a GPS, and the one on her phone was dangerous to use while driving. It could’ve been helpful if she knew how to activate the phone’s voice navigation, but of course she didn’t because it had been ages since she’d been someplace new.

Still, if she’d been paying better attention she might’ve been fine. The thing was, her mind had been preoccupied with stressing over the kind of reception she should expect from Kian. He didn’t impress her as an easygoing guy. Andrew was deluding himself if he thought Kian would let insubordination go unpunished. Someone was going to pay for her impatience, and frankly she hoped it would be her rather than Andrew or Bhathian. It didn’t mean, though, that she was looking forward to it. Kian might be as handsome as a god, but also intimidating as hell.

Shit, she should call Andrew, but then she’d have to admit that she was lost. He was probably wondering what was taking her so long, worrying while waiting for her on the street with that sticker or sensor she needed to get into the clan’s parking level.

Trouble was, even if she called him, his instructions would be meaningless to her. She didn’t know the street names, or what to look for. Quite ridiculous considering that she lived and worked no more than thirty minutes' drive away. The tall buildings, the wide boulevards, this felt like a foreign country to her—most of Los Angeles didn’t look like that.

With a curse, she slowed down and parked on the side of the road. Zooming in to see the names of the streets on the tiny screen of her phone, she checked the location of the blue dot representing her car in relation to the red arrow pointing to where she was supposed to be.

Of course, she’d passed it.

Great, now she needed to make a U-turn somewhere. If she were a braver soul, she would have done it right there, in the middle of the six-lane-wide road. Except, she wasn’t feeling particularly brave, not tonight, and especially not behind the steering wheel. With few opportunities to drive, uncommon in a city that had no public transportation to speak of, Nathalie wasn’t a confident driver.

She put the transmission in drive and eased out onto the street. Continuing to the next intersection, she turned left, then another left, and was now heading the other way—the right way.

A few minutes later, she saw him, her handsome Andrew, waiting for her with his hands tucked into the pockets of a pair of jeans that were a few inches too long, and a loose hoodie. Obviously, he’d borrowed someone else’s clothes, either Bhathian’s or Kian’s.

The question was why? Had his own been covered in blood? Because he’d been fighting? He’d promised her he’d be nowhere near the action.
