And despite the fear she was feeling, Allison knew she would be safe with him – for now.
“What reason?” she inquired, trying to catch up with his pace.
“Because I was originally human – I was born human. And whenever I’m in my human form, trackers won’t be able to find me easily. And even if they do, I’ll be three miles away from them,” Brandon explained.
“Really?”
“Yep. Don’t worry about Franklin; he’ll be fine. He’s strong. Your father kept him around because he was truly loyal and an honest person. But he never had any ambition of leading the pack. He owes your father a great deal. He respected the Alpha.”
She was about to open her mouth to ask another question, but Brandon waved a hand to silence her.
“I will tell you everything you want to know. But we need to get out of here first.”
“Where are we going?” She bit her lip when he grabbed her hand tightly, sending weird tingles down her spine. His grip was strong, but it didn’t hurt her.
“The city.”
Chapter 4
Allison was surprised when Brandon brought her to a tall apartment building. The unit they were in was modernly organized, and everything was remote controlled. She had an idea where he got it, but she was not positively sure. She just knew bits and pieces about him, and it would be rude to conclude anything.
Brandon was a mysterious guy. But she had to admit that the enigma added to his allure.
“Nice,” she commented, slamming her body against the leather couch.
“My parents bought this for me when I was still in Med School,” he answered, pulling out a pitcher of cold water from the fridge.
She didn’t know he had stocks, either.
Allison raised a brow and crossed her arms on her chest. “You’re a doctor?”
Interesting.
“I wanted to be one, but I stopped going to school when I was turned by your father.” He shrugged before draining the water from his glass in one gulp.
She watched his Adam’s apple moving as he guzzled the liquid. She swallowed her saliva at Brandon’s view. How could someone look terrifyingly hot just by drinking a glass of water?
She swallowed hard. “S-so… D-do your parents know you’re a hybrid?”
He chuckled before shaking his head. “Nope, they think I just found med school tiring. I visit them sometimes. All they know is I am working for someone as an assistant.”
She clicked her tongue.
“You call stalking someone being an assistant?” she joked.
“I didn’t have a choice. I’m sure they’d freak out if I told them I’m away to guard someone or something like that,” he reasoned.
She watched him make his way to the living room. She just noticed that he was wearing a white shirt and dark jeans. The shirt looked a little bit small for his muscled body.Gorgeous,her mind commented when her eyes landed on the small bump between his legs.
Damn it, Allison!
She shook her head and looked away, diverting her attention to the picture frame beside the telephone. The Brandon from the picture was a little thinner than the present. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses – very nerdy. But what caught her interest the most was the woman beside him. She looked gorgeous. She was blonde and had blue eyes.
She’s like a doll,she thought.
“That’s my sister,” he spoke, pointing at the framed photo. “That photo was taken before she passed away.” He sat on the couch across her.
Allison heard herself gasp in surprise.
