toward Myles in the driver’s seat.
    He pulled to a stop in the front parking area. “What were you expecting?”
    I shrugged. “I don’t know…metal buildings, thatch huts.”
    “The island used to be a resort, and this was the main hotel. The other buildings were meeting rooms and smaller guest houses.” Myles got out of the cart and motioned for us to get our cases. He grabbed my extra one. “I say guest houses, though two of them have separate rooms for twenty or so people each.”
    We entered a foyer, and there was a large television area to the right with sofas and chairs grouped in front of three huge flat-screen televisions. To the left was a desk that looked like a hotel check-in, but no one was there. Myles went to the desk and flipped open a book.
    “You’re in room 216, Alexis. Girls are on second floor, guys on third. You’ll have your own room. Brynna will take you up.” He turned to the television area and shouted, “Brynna, Alexis is here.”
    I wasn’t certain if I imagined her groaning or if I actually heard her, but Brynna’s head appeared above the back of a sofa. She stood and headed in our direction. Her deep red hair was as stunning as ever, and she looked as unhappy to see me as I was to see her. Though Brynna had helped in my education as a werewolf, we weren’t the best of friends. We’d agreed to disagree on most subjects, and I was inclined to keep it that way.
    “Show Alexis up to 216, Brynna. I’ll take Jared and Daryl up to the guys’ floor and help them get set up.”
    Brynna sighed. “Come on.”
    “I hate to interrupt you. I’m sure I can find it on my own.”
    “Maybe,” she said. “But today is my day for helping new arrivals.”
    “Aww and I thought you just wanted to help me out.”
    “We both know that’s not likely.”
    “I guess we do.” Lugging both my suitcases with no offer from Brynna to help, I followed her to an elevator where the three guys waited. When the silver doors of the elevator slid open, Myles and Jared put my suitcases inside, then we all squeezed in.
    The door opened again, and Brynna and I stepped into a tiled hallway. Myles dropped my suitcases in the hall then got back in the elevator. My suitcases in hand, we turned right and started walking until Brynna came to an abrupt stop in front of 216. She took a metal key from a ring, unlocked the door, and handed the key to me.
    “Try not to lose it.”
    “What, no cards?”
    “No, this hotel is older, and they didn’t bother with that when they renovated. Besides, there’s less malfunctioning with this.”
    I stepped into the room that would be my new home for… I wasn’t exactly sure how long we’d be here. It was like any hotel room you see in a hundred places, only with a single bed in it, nothing fancy. I glanced in the bathroom. Same thing—nice tile but no wow factor. Dropping my suitcases on the floor, I turned to Brynna.
    “What now?”
    “I’ll show you around, then you can put up your stuff and get settled in.”
    “No classes today?”
    “You’ll start tomorrow, but you can go get fitted for your savalin at some point. I’ll show you where.”
    “My what?”
    “Your savalin, your fighting suit. You know, the coat, torso protector, black pants, boots. The thing you saw in my closet that night you were at my house in Louisiana.”
    “Oh, yeah. Louise has one. I’ve seen her wear it a couple of times.”
    Brynna was nodding.
    “She said I’d get one.”
    “You will. Everybody doesn’t, though.”
    “Why am I getting one?”
    I followed her into the hall and back to the elevator. “Because you’re here to fight and not work in the lab.”
    The elevator opened, and we went in. “What do the lab people get?”
    She arched an eyebrow at me as she punched the button for the first floor, and the doors closed. “A lab coat.”
    I sighed. Same old Brynna. At least that was familiar.
    In less than an hour, we’d toured the island without actually ever getting
