    I looked over at Luca and then Aiden. I didn’t understand what was happening. Was Ryley trying to set


    me up with the waitress? But why would she do that?


    “Dude, I got nothing,” Luca said through the link.


    “It’s a trap. Don’t do it! I repeat, it’s a trap,” Aiden eximed through the link. Maybe she only looks at


    me as a friend and I was wasting my time trying to be more to her.


    “Don’t you dare give up! She is perfect for us.” Gunner growled.


    Four drinkster and we were all dancing. All my drinks were doubles so I was starting to feel the


    warmth from the whiskey. The girls on the other hand were tipsy, especially Isabelle who didn’t have a


    wolf.


    I pulled Ryley against me when she stumbled. She was in a fit of giggles as she grabbed onto me. She


    looked up at me, her eyes were a drunken haze.


    “Are you okay?” I leaned in and asked her. She started grinding up against me and I held in a groan.


    “So okay. I think I’m drunk,” she yelled. She pushed her breast against


    my


    chest as she gripped my shoulders. My hands were on her hips as she ground her p**sy against my


    thigh.


    “Going good?” Luca was in my head.


    “She’s drunk,” I sighed.

    “Ryley, if you’re drunk, I should take you home,” I said against her ear. She shivered.


    “Are youing home with me, Alpha?” She purred. F*ck, I screamed in my head. I wanted nothing


    more than to take her home but I didn’t want to be the regret in the morning.


    “Or would you rather have the hot waitress?” She scuffed. I could hear the frustration in her voice at my


    hesitation.


    I untangled our bodies before taking her hand and leading her off the dance floor. I didn’t stop until we


    were outside the bar. The cool night air was wee on my hot skin.


    “ke, what are you doing? Slow down,” she cried, trying to get out of my grip on her hand. I whipped


    around to look at her.

    “I’m taking you home,” I told her and she scuffed.


    “Why? Are we not having fun?” She demanded.


    “We are but you are drunk. And I won’t be the regret in the morning.” I eximed.


    “Do you regret all the women you have slept with?” She pulled her hand from mine and crossed her


    arms across her chest. I was taken


    aback by herment.


    “Do you regret all the men you’ve slept with in the morning after a drunken night out?” I growled. I didn’t


    want to think of Ryley with anyone else.


    “Nope, this would have been the first time.” She confessed.


    “What?” I stammered, confused.

    “I was a young single mom with very limited money. This is my first time being drunk.” She said. She


    closed her eyes and swayed on her feet. I grabbed onto her hips to steady her.


    “You never got drunk as a teenager?” I asked her, stepping impossibly close to her. She shook her


    head.


    “I had to be an example. Not that that’s bad, but I didn’t do the normal teenage things. I was too busyRêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    helping my dad with our pack.” She shrugged. I don’t think she meant to give me that piece of


    information so I didn’t question her.


    “Okay, let’s get you home,” I whispered, leaning my forehead against hers. She just nodded. I could


    feel the people around us, watching. So I quickly hailed a cab, helping Ryley in the back seat.


    As soon as I climbed in beside her, she rested her head against my shoulder. I told the driver to drive to


    the pack house. He looked at Ryley and then at me before nodding. Before I could say anything to


    defend myself, not that I should have to, my pack should know I would never take advantage of anyone


    in this state; Riley called out to me.


    “ke?” I looked down at her, she had her eyes close.


    “Yeah?”


    “Thank you,” she mumbled.


    She had fallen asleep by the time we had made it to the pack house. I directed the driver to the front of


    Ryley’s house. I had mind-link Aspen, and he was waiting on the porch with Channing. I paid the driver


    before stepping out of the vehicle. I lean back to scoop her lifeless body into my arms. I closed the door


    with my foot before walking up to the porch. Channing was snickering to himself as I approached them.

    “Well, this is a first.”


    “Just open the door,” I demanded.


    Once in the house, I carried Ryley up the stairs to her room. Iid her on the bed before taking off her


    shoes and her jeans. I tried not to look as I covered her up with her nket. Before I moved away from


    the bed, Ryley’s hand grabbed my arm.


    “Stay?” She mumbled. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. Her eyes were still closed but there was


    a smile on her lips.


    “Not tonight,” I whispered. I quickly left the room. I wouldn’t have been able to say no a second time. I

    “Why’s that?” I questioned.


    “I see the way you look at my mom. I’m not blind. A lesser man would have taken advantage of her.”


    He shrugged.


    “Does she do this often?” I asked him.


    “This is the first time she has been drunk. And I’ve never seen her with a man before. And she gets hit


    on all the time but she has never taken an interest in any of them. Until you.” He told me. I didn’t know


    what


    to say.
