Craving Her Mates (My Wicked Mates Book 1) Read online

  That was the trap she’d been held in for much too long. It was easy…until the next time.

  A soft moan escaped her lips before she could stop it and she shook her head to try and clear the cobwebs. Clover gazed out at her surroundings, thankful that it was quiet, at least. Most Monday nights were, in her experience with night clubs.

  The lot was deserted except for a couple of cars up next to the building. The sign on the side of the building was one word.

  Inferno.

  Clover started the car again and said a prayer as she inched it a little closer to the club. As she turned off the engine again, the car shuddered and went silent, the only sounds her ragged breathing and the tick tick of the cooling system. She had to do something. Either walk back down the highway or go ask the people inside for help.

  She didn’t know anyone here and, without money, her options were limited.

  Opening the door, she got out and went around to gather Sylvester into her arms. The heat of the night was stifling. She slammed the door shut, locking it securely. Everything she owned was in the back seat and in the trunk, including her best clothes for the audition.

  She would only be gone a few minutes at the most. Fudging with her keys, she unlocked the car and dragged a dark towel over the boxes and small suitcase covering the back seat. What the eyes didn’t see the heart didn’t want…or something like that. She nervously glanced at the large building, straightened her chin, and sucked in a deep breath.

  Leash in place, she marched Sylvester toward the grass. Crickets chirped in the quiet night and a soft humid breeze slid over her. All she wanted to do was lay down and sleep, but first she had to find a place that was safe.

  “Come on, sweetie. You need to go.”

  He tentatively took a step forward, wincing and growling as a tall weed slapped him in the face.

  “Oh, honey.” Clover walked with him, relieved when he did his business. “Come on. We have to talk to some nice people and see if they’ll help us.”

  She scooped him back up into her arms, happy that he was with her. The day could have gone much worse.

  It was getting late, but maybe with cars in the lot there would be someone inside. There had to be. Purse over her arm and Sylvester draped against her chest, she made her way across the asphalt and reached for the door.
