    I shouldn’t have been surprised when ke showed up with Aiden and Luca. I was out with their mates


    but was told this was a girl’s night out. And here was the alpha that has been avoiding me all week.


    “And looking s*xy as f*ck,” Lily purred. I rolled my eyes and shook my head at herment. She


    wasn’t wrong but I couldn’t go there.


    “Well, isn’t it the invisible alpha,” I mocked as I walked over to him. Isabelle and I were just dancing,


    when she noticed her mate.


    “Invisible?” He c**ked his eyebrow.


    “Or have you just been avoiding me all week?” I questioned.


    “Didn’t think you’d notice,” he shrugged. And hisment hurt. I thought we had a great weekend


    together. That we were friends. Aiden smacked ke in the chest.


    “He’s been busy,” Aiden corrected him. The alpha let out a groan from being hit.


    “Uh-huh. I’m sure he has been.” I told Aiden. I went to turn to walk toward the table but ke stopped


    me by grabbing my hand, he whipped me around to face him.


    “I’ve been dealing with rke.” He said, stepping closer. Aiden and Isabelle went to sit at the table. His


    scent was intoxicating as I stared up at him.


    “It would seem you need a drink,” I said, as soon as he nodded, I pulled

    him over to the table. It was a circr booth. Luca was sitting on one end with Becky tucked into his


    side. Isabelle moved in beside Becky and Aiden slid in beside her. I sat beside Aiden and ke sat


    beside me. I ensured I was closer to ke to avoid getting my scent all over Aiden. Isabelle may not be


    a wolf but I didn’t want anyone else thinking the worse.


    “Does anyone else feel like a groupie?” I asked the table as a few people stopped to say hi to the


    alpha.


    “The joys of being friends with the alpha,” Luca chuckled.


    “Oh, you poor thing,” I cooed. Becky startedughing.


    “It must have been so hard to have all those women following you around.” All of us girls started


    laughing. Not only do women want tò be Luna, but there is also a sense of safety when with an alpha.


    ?


    “And I got stuck with the most amazing one,” he defended.


    “I think she’s stuck with you, Luca. You just got incredibly lucky,” I chuckled.


    “That too,” he shrugged, pulling her closer.


    A waitress came over to take our drink orders. I’ve had more drinks tonight than I’ve ever had at one


    time. Being a young mom, I didn’t get to go out. And then when Channing grew older, I just didn’t want


    to. I would rather spend my time with him.


    “Alpha, it’s good to see you.” The waitress purred, grabbing his


    shoulder. She was pretty, I’ll give her that. She was dressed ssy with light makeup. Her dark hair


    was in waves down her back. He greeted her and after we order our drinks, she left.


    “Friend?” I asked him.

    ?


    “Jealous?” Luca asked and Becky elbowed him in the ribs. He let out a groan and she mouthed sorry to


    me.


    “Actually, I was going to say she’s beautiful,” I told him.


    “Oh, thank goodness I wasn’t the only one who noticed,” Isabelle breathed out.


    “What?” Aiden,” stammered.


    “You would have to be blind not to see how beautiful she is,” I


    chuckled.


    “I saw nothing,” Luca eximed, smashing his eyes shut. We allughed at his antics. He was so


    sweet not wanting to make his mate worry. He clearly loved her.


    せ


    “She’s a little young for the alpha, don’t you think?” Aiden asked.


    “Yeah, maybe more the future alphas age?” Luca chimed in.


    “I thought you didn’t look,” Becky rolled her eyes.


    “Aiden, you and Isabelle are the babies at the table. And she’s too old for Aspen.” I said.


    “And how do you know? Aspen loves older women,” Luca chuckled.


    “First, Aspen hasn’t gone all the way with anyone. And second, he will most likely be mates to an


    alpha’s daughter, since his mother wasn’t one. Randomly it will s*ip a generation to bring in new blood.”


    I exined.


    “Wait, how do you know Aspen is a virgin?” ke looked over at me.


    “I walked in on a very awkward conversation.” I cringed at the

    memory. There are things a mother should never hear. I’m okay with answering questions but I don’t


    want to hear the stories.


    “Do I want to know?” He asked and I shook my head.


    “I don’t want to repeat it. Teenage boys are weird.” I said and Becky chuckled.


    “Grown-a*s men are weird.” She mumbled and Iughed. She isn’t


    wrong.


    “Only for you, baby,” Luca smiled before kissing her cheek.


    “Aren’t I lucky,” she groaned.


    The waitress came back with our drinks and after she left, I stared at ke, who immediately took a


    swig of his whisky.


    “Ryley?” He questioned.


    “I didn’t say anything,” I answered. Bringing the straw in my drink to my lips. Maybe it’s the alcohol


    talking since that’s the only exnation I can think of for trying to h*ok ke up with another woman.


    “Do it and I’ll rip her apart,” Lily growled in my head. What the hell was I doing?
