Chapter 163: Guilt: Part One

Aila sat comfortably at the head of the table, eating fine food with great company. Even after finishing their meal, they sat talking, mocking, joking, and enjoying each other's company without fear of the hunters finding them. Occasionally Aila would look outside at the city's view, lost in thought where her mind would run off about the hunters after her, the Silver Crescent pack and of course, Damon. 

But the guys were quick to gain her attention again after seeing the turmoil behind her eyes and her knitted brows.

"Look who's brooding now," Chase's voice snapped her out of her reverie. They were at the bar now, but Aila sat down on a black 'L' shaped settee in the corner across from them. Next to the window. She smiled up at Chase, who took the space next to her. Ajax and Finn were talking between them about mates and how Finn really needed to 'get laid', while Gabriel walked off answering a phone call.
