Stay

Chapter Nine

Hunter’s POV

Kitty, the lady from the bar followed me back to my quarters, her eyes taking in every detail of the Alpha estate as we walked through the halls.

She seemed quite impressed but tried to act cool. I liked that about her, no obvious shocks, no raided eyebrows.

The lady had a confidence about her, a kind of composure that made me more curious about her.

When we got to my quarters, I poured us both a drink. We sat on the couch in my room, and she told me a bit about herself.

I could tell she was new to the pack even before she said so, traveling to look for her sister. There was a sadness in her eyes when she mentioned her sister, but she quickly hid it with a smile.

I found myself wondering what kind of trouble had led her here. I was also curious about the other woman she’d been with at the bar, the one she had sat down with.

“The girl you were with, who is she?” I asked, trying to keep my tone low.

“Oh, her?” Kitty replied with a dismissive wave of her hand.
