But when the shock of the matter fades, it hits me that I don't know anything about this woman, not even her name. How am I supposed to find her?
Shoving on my clothes, I make my way down to the lobby and see the same clerk from last night.
"Hey." I head over to him and he looks up from his magazine.
"Yeah?"
"The woman who came with me last night, when did she leave?"
The clerk shrugs. "Around four? I offered to call her a cab, but she refused. She looked like she was panicking."
He seems curious, which is probably why he's sharing so much information.
She left at four? Meaning she never slept. She must have waited for me to pass out before leaving. A strange tension fills me.
She could be anywhere right now, and aside from how she looks, I don't have anything else to go on.
Why didn't she stay?
After the night we had together, how could she walk away so easily?
My hand tightens around the bill in my hand, and I have half a mind to give it to the clerk, but something stops me. This is all I have of her.
"I see," I mutter.
Fine, if she wants to play hide and seek, I'll uncover every stone in this city until I find her.
***
It's been one week.
One week, and I've not even been able to discover what Anna's real name is. To make matters worse, I've had my people poke around, but there's no female shifter who fits the description that matches my fated mate.
I stare down at the photographs before me and toss them at my quivering assistant. "Do any of these women have pale blue eyes?"
"N-No, sir." Gerald looks like he's about to pass out.
"How hard is it to find a woman with long black hair and light blue eyes?"
"I've looked everywhere, sir," Gerald says, his voice unsteady, "but these are the only females in our pack who match this description."
I stare down at the last photograph on my desk and frustration fills me. It's been days! I should have some idea of who this woman is. If she's not from our pack, then that means she belongs to another wolf pack. She did tell me I wouldn't see heragain. Did that mean she was simply passing through the city? If that's the case, then it's going to be harder to track her down.
My heart sinks and my lips press together.
If I had known she was going to be such a flight risk, I would have focused on getting some information about her rather than sleeping with her.
"Sir?" Gerald suddenly says. "What about the meeting with the CEO of Jayborn Industries? His secretary has been calling every hour."
I look toward my assistant, irritated.
The door opens, and someone enters. I hold up my fingers and stare at my assistant.
"I told you. Tell him I'm not interested in their offer."
"I already did that but––"
"Then get it into his thick skull." I give Gerald a sharp look. "I have more important things to focus on."
