[Liam’s POV]
A van screeches to a halt by our side, and Kena flashes a brief nod toward it. “This is our ride. Follow us, we’ll show you where we hang out,” she says before hopping into the van with her gang, sliding the door shut behind her.
I chuckle to myself as I watch them disappear into the vehicle. What the hell am I supposed to do? Are these guys for real? Fuck it. How real is it to be a half dragon myself?
I shrug, don my helmet, rev my bike, and trail behind the van as we snake our way through the city’s streets to Chinatown. The van takes a sharp turn into a narrow alley, and I follow, my curiosity piqued. We pull up in front of an unassuming warehouse.
The place is cavernous, filled with cars and tools, the air tinged with the smell of grease and gasoline. Kena and her crew clamber out of the van. She motions around with a flourish. “We call this place our treehouse. It’s not much, but it’s where we hang out, crash, and work.”
