Destiny of Blood (Love of a Shifter Book 4) Page 16


  She stroked her fingers through the hair on the back of Leo’s head, and he made a low growling sound. “If you start kicking your leg, I’m going to bust a gut laughing.”

  He grinned. “I can’t help if it you always find my happy place.”

  He pulled into a parking spot in front of Lykos. The name of the club was written in crimson lights, glowing brightly against the darkness. There was a line of people leading out the door, which she had expected because it was Friday night and there weren’t a whole lot of shifter-friendly clubs in Cleveland. Leo held her hand as they walked past the crowd waiting to get in. The bouncers were two males she recognized as being coven guards at one time or another. They smiled at her, and she smiled back before Leo tugged her through the open front door.

  He pulled open a second set of doors, and music blasted her, making her wince as she adjusted to the deafening sound.

  “How do you guys stand the loud music?”

  Full wolves like Leo had very sensitive hearing. Her hearing was slightly better than a human because she was part wolf but she knew her hearing wasn’t as good as Leo’s.

  “You get used to it,” he said loudly.

  They wove through the crowd that stood around the dance floor. Strobe lights and brightly colored lasers decorated the walls, floors, and writhing bodies. Leo stopped at the edge of the dance floor and said, “Drink or dance?”

  “Dance!” She whooped as she tugged him into the crowd and they began to dance. She lost herself in the music, in the sights and sounds and smells of the club, and let her mind drift away to that place where everything was amazing. In this place, she was just a girl dancing with her friend. She wasn’t a half-Wiccan, half-wolf trying to find out where she fit in. She wasn’t the girl whose father wanted nothing to do with her, or whose mom hadn’t been willing to leave the coven with Cinder or fight for her right to stay. No – here, in this club, she was just a girl, and that was more than okay with her.
