But as excuses went, it was perfect for escaping Adam. I bit the bullet, gave Adam an apologetic glance, and turned to get into Aiden's car. "Raelyn, you-!" Adam shouted through the window. Aiden ignored him and drove off. As I sat there watching Aiden's grim profile, I felt conflicted. Should I thank him for getting me out of that? Then again, with the look on his face, he probably thought I invited Adam over myself. "Aiden." I'd barely called his name when he cut me off. "No hidden meaning. Don't overthink it." Aiden was the one to explain first. "I already told you-don't get too close to Adam. It's dangerous." I pouted slightly. "I wasn't." "Try not to go out with him alone. You two shot a couple's ad, remember? If someone snaps a photo, PR will be a nightmare." His brows furrowed tighter as he spoke. I nodded and turned to look out the window. So I wasn't the one overthinking it-he was. Then, in the rearview mirror, I noticed a car trailing us at a steady distance, matching our speed. "Aiden, I think we're-" "I see it," he said in a low voice. Cate The Eclipse Pack estate was on the edge of the suburbs. This quiet road rarely had any traffic. The car following us clearly had a purpose. "Hold on." Aiden stepped on the gas. Sure enough, the car behind sped up too. The chase began. "Aiden, be careful!" I warned, anxiety rising. At this speed, on a road like this, it was dangerous. "Don't worry." Even with the rough terrain, Aiden's driving stayed steady. ཕ་བ་ But the driver behind us wasn't bad either. They were gaining on us. 2/3 16:58 Tue, Aug 5 Then suddenly, the car behind surged forward and cut us off, forcing Aiden to stop. "Aiden, get out!" someone shouted from behind. A man climbed out of the other car, cursing as he walked toward us. Aiden turned to me. "They're here for me. I'll draw their attention. You slip away." 4 "You expect me to ditch you and run in a situation like this?" I shook my head and looked him in the eye. "You've saved me more times than I can count. No way I'm leaving you behind." He frowned. "Raelyn, don't be reckless." I chuckled and flexed my wrists. "If you think I'm some delicate heiress, Aiden, you really don't know me at all." He looked at my confident face and said nothing more. We got out of the car together. I subtly pressed the button on my ring to send our location to Jackson. A group of burly werewolves surrounded us outside the car, all glaring like they wanted blood. "You're Aiden?" one of them sneered-a guy with a huge scar across his face. "What's with that funeral expression? Looks like you need someone to fix it for you. Aiden scanned the group. "Who are you?" 30 E EL "Doesn't matter. What matters is someone paid me to teach you a lesson." 같은 Aiden's gaze turned sharp. "Do you know who I am?" 8 34 14 E Scarface burst out laughing. "Heir to the Eclipse Pack, right? Real big shot in Varken. Yeah, I know who you are." "Then you know what happens when you mess with Eclipse Pack." 慣 "Please. Don't throw that name around like it means something. I ain't scared." Scarface waved at the others. "Get them both! Beat them to Send Gifts a pulp! Let's who the real trash is!" 731 。 338 Title: ReelTalk EP 43 - Recreating Iconic ReelShort Looks with Sarah Moliski, Sarah Noelle, and Maria Barseghian Author: CrushReel Genre: Romance Status: ongoing In the latest episode of ReelTalk, fashion takes center stage as host Sarah Moliski joins forces with stars Sarah Noelle and Maria Barseghian to tackle a captivating style challenge.
