Ungrateful

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

Jacob's men soon arrived at our hotel. The lobby was filled with their loud voices, with one particularly aggressive voice threatening the receptionist.

Anton and I stood nearby, watching coldly from the shadows as Jacob's men swaggered around, proving useless in this situation. A wave of guilt washed over me for causing trouble for these innocent humans.

They brought a sizable group. The leader, who was loitering near the reception desk, demanded all the check-in information while sending others to search each room, blatantly ignoring the invasion of privacy, acting like a local tyrant.

The Jacob gang's brazenness surprised me, but recalling their dossier, this bold approach began with Brian's leadership. It seemed Brian had little regard for the gang's long-term welfare.
