The book rocked down away from where it had sat in front of his face quickly enough when the sounds of distress and danger filtered his way from beyond the door separating his room from the rest of the hotel. Dane's instincts as a wolf and a fighter kicked in, fell into place like someone had simply flicked a switch and he rolled off the bed and to his feet, boots tugged on and secured quickly enough before his weapons were snatched up and put into place. He was almost to the door before something made him stop and sprint back across the room, tugging the drawer in his nightstand open.
Sitting there in the front right corner was a velvet ring box, one than he pulled out and opened. The light caught gently off the curve of his mother's ring and he pulled it out of its supportive slot, keeping a tight hold on it as he popped the bottom cushion out of the box; a white gold chain sat in the bottom, coiled neatly, and it tumbled out into his palm easily and smoothly. The ring slid easily onto the chain which then went around Dane's neck, fastened securely at the back by the clasp. The box was tossed back into the open drawer and left behind as he ran back towards the door leading out of his room and into the hallways beyond.
CONTINUED IN: Hallways.
