Chapter 179. Attempt on My Life

The lights of Maple Dome shone like fireflies as we approached the club. It was a human establishment, buzzing with energy and the kind of carefree abandon that came with ignorance. For them, this was a place of release, a place to lose themselves in the night. For us, it was a dangerous playground.

I glanced over at Astrid, her eyes scanning the crowd with a predatory glint. She looked stunning tonight, dressed in a sleek, black dress that hugged her every curve. Her hair, a cascade of dark waves, framed her sharp features, making her look every bit the lethal beauty she was. Beside her, Meredith was a stark contrast, her light hair and soft features exuding a calm, almost spiritual aura.

"Ready to have some fun?" I asked, nudging Astrid.

She smirked, her eyes meeting mine. "Always."

As we walked through the doors, the thumping bass of the music vibrated through my chest. The air was thick with the scent of sweat, alcohol, and human pheromones.
