Chapter 45: Damn You, Loui!!
"I saw a bookstore down there, and it’s huge!" Avelina replied with her head stuck out the window. She could still glimpse the height and roof of the building.
"Oh..." Draven slightly agreed with a slight nod of his head. "That is the largest bookstore we have," he said.
Avelina’s smile widened, displaying her whitish teeth. She gasped in the next second when she felt Draven grab her by the collar of her coat.
"Don’t stick your head out, Avelina. Vampires can easily smell a human scent, so you could get hurt." Draven sat her down and ruffled her hair to adjust it.
Avelina slowly nodded with an apologetic smile. She took a soft breath and inquired, "May I ask where we are going?"
"To meet some people," Draven responded.
"Oh...I see..." Avelina gave a nod and asked no further questions.
After a few more minutes of driving, Draven finally slowed down the car. He took a turn and stopped in front of a tall, black gate.
The bodyguard, standing guard like a statue, gave a deep bow and pulled open the gate.
Draven drove through the archway and into the vast courtyard. He parked in the circular driveway and stepped down. He walked over to the other side and opened the door for Avelina.
Avelina reached to unlock the seat belt, but Draven beat her to it. He gently grabbed her hand and helped her out of the car.
