The line at the front desk was huge, stretching from one side to the other.
“We are going to be here forever,” Nan complained.
I looked at the time. It was…
It was only 1 PM.
“We have plenty of time,” said Alex to Sarah. “The dinner doesn’t start until 6.”
In the itinerary that Alpha Levi had sent me, it mentioned a competitor’s dinner at 6 tonight. This meant we could get to our dinner on time.
I had to get to know the other competitors and the judges. I’ll admit, I felt a bit nervous about seeing who I was up against.
Surprisingly, the wait didn’t last long. We only had to stand in line for about 20 minutes before we were at the front.
One of the workers waved me over, and I quickly hurried towards her, with Nan following closely behind.
“Hello, are you checking in?” the woman asked. Her nametag read “Stacy.”
“Yes,” I replied. “It should be…
Judy Montague greeted me with a nod as she typed something into her computer.
“Oh, you’re here for the Gamma competition?” she asked, looking up at me.
“Yes,” I replied. I realized I shouldn’t have been surprised that this resort was chosen for such an event.
It was a shifter-owned resort, and I couldn’t smell any humans around. Instead, I saw a lot of people wearing Gamma sweatshirts and other gear. They looked very intimidating.
She typed something else into the computer.
“Lycan Chairmen has everything set up,” she said.
she explained while typing on her computer. But then she stopped and looked up at me, and then at Nan. “But the room is for one person. Is she staying with you too?”
I felt my face turn red. I didn’t know how to respond.
I hadn’t thought about telling the hotel or Alpha Levi that Nan was coming with me. I felt silly for not clearing it with them first.
“Uh, yes. But she can just share my bed,” I said quickly.
She hoped that her words would help clear things up. Looking between the two of us, she seemed uncertain, as if she was trying to decide whether to let it go or address it. Just then, I felt someone appear beside me, and my entire body froze.
I looked up at the strong-looking man I had only seen a few times before.
“How about we upgrade her room then?” Beta Ron, Levi’s Beta, suggested. His eyes narrowed as he spoke.
Stacy’s eyes grew wide at his request.
“I’m afraid we are all booked up…” she told him, her voice shaky with nerves.
“It’s okay; really,” I said, trying to ease the tension in the situation.
“Then,” I continued, hoping to find a solution,
“I guess I’ll have to call Alpha Levi and tell him that the resort staff are incompetent,” he murmured, pulling out his phone from his pocket. Before I could say anything, Stacy quickly stepped in.
“That’s not necessary,” she said, trying to calm the situation.
“That’s necessary,” she said quickly. “We do have one room left. It’s a queen suite on the top floor. It has two beds and a half kitchen.”
“Excellent,” Beta Ron replied, nodding at her as he pushed forward.
Ron put his phone back into his pocket.
“You don’t have to go through all that trouble,” I said to both of them. “It’s really okay.”
“Nonsense,” Ron replied. “You are a guest and will be treated like one.”
“Enjoy your stay, Judy Montague,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me.
With that, he turned and walked away.
Stacy sat at her computer, nervously typing without looking at me. After a few minutes, she finally spoke up.
She clicked the final button and picked up a couple of keycards, a map of the resort, and a printed version of the itinerary.
“You will be in room 606,” she told me. “Enjoy your stay.”
I smiled and thanked her.
I nodded and thanked her.
I went to grab my bags, but she stopped me.
“We have people who can take your bags to your room,” she said. “You don’t need to lift a finger at our resort.” She assured me with a smile.
“Are you sure?” I asked her. “I don’t want to be too much trouble.”
“It’s no trouble at all,” she assured me.
I nodded, feeling relieved. Together, Nan and I made our way through the crowd.
We walked towards the glass elevator, both of us amazed as it began to rise. As we went up, we enjoyed a new view of the resort, seeing it from a different angle.
