*****Erika''s POV*****
"He said he still has that childhood crush on me." I told the girls.
The event was finally over and the guests had gone home. Thankfully, nothing had happened, everything had gone smoothly and I was officially the Alpha now. I would start my duties from tomorrow.
The time I had spent with Noir was amazing aside the astonishing news he just casually dropped and pretended like he had said nothing after kissing my forehead. The event stroll had just been about us and a reminiscence of old times.
We had talked about everything and anything we could think of, Noir was an interesting person to be with and we had ended the day promising to keep more in touch especially now that I was the Alpha, he had even made a joke about me being his Alpha partner and wife if we get married and merged packs.
Of course, I had told him that was a lofty dream that had little chance ofing to pass, but I''d said it in a joking manner and when he hadughed, I knew he had not taken me serious. But I knew I was serious, I could not go against what father wanted for me.
"For real?" Kat was lying on her own bed.
Even though the three of us were healed now and couldfortably sleep together on one bed, I think we both loved the space which did not take us away from each other.
Moreover, the beds were too heavy to be lifted and I absolutely had no idea where Jace had brought them in from. No one cared about the beds, we just knew where toy our head when it was time.
"Yes." I nodded.
"This Noir guy is the one you guys were best friends with and used to y with as pups?" Pa asked. She had this contented look of a happy, satisfied mate. Lucky wolfess.
"Yes, he is. You should have seen him." Kat said.
"Why? Anything special about him?" She was also lyingzily on her own bed.
"Nothing. Just for you to see who Noir is, so when we talk about him, you can ce a face to the personality." I shrugged.
"Exactly." Kat agreed.
"There''ll always be a next time." She was not really concerned.
Kat and I exchanged looks, we knew the reason for this sheepish smiles, unbothered, carefree attitude and her rxed posture. It was time to tease her, but after we were done talking about me...
"Hey Pa, how did it go?" Kat winked suggestively.
...or not. Kat had decided they''d had enough of me. I guess Pa''s story was more interesting, I adjusted myself for some good gist.
"Yes Pa, how did it go?" I wriggled my brows in the sane suggestive manner.
She eye rolled, chuckling. "You girls are crazy."
"Crazy to hear your afternoon moment with your wonderful mate." Katughed teasingly.
"Nothing much happened." She said casually.
I stretched a hand to get my hair brush from my vanity stand and threw at her before she could dodge it. It hit her leg. Bull''s eye!
"Ouch. That hurt." She whined.
"Will you tell us or should I throw this?" Kat was holding a shoe.
She quickly raised herself from the bed. "You would not dare."
"You know me, P. I can dare." Kat raised an eyebrow at her.
"Okay fine, we mated. We had sex." Pa finally confessed.
"Good news!" Kat hollered in delight.
"Yes!" I pumped at fist in the air.
"Tell us more." Kat urged.
"We were kissing as you guys left, then I pulled away from the kiss and told him we needed to talk. I was still hurt by what he did, so I told him, he apologized again and again. We have never had sex before." She smiled. "It was supposed to be the normal make out session we usually have but today''s was different. Like the passion was just too much to control, we ended up having sex. It was a wonderful feeling, you know. Was that how you felt with Alex the first time?" She directed to me.
"Woah, we''re not talking about me, this is about you." I did not want to remember, especially now that he was back into my life. Though not necessarily into my life but to ask for help.
"Answer the question." Kat aimed the shoe my way, a silent threat that she would
throw it at me if I did not respond.
I sighed. “Yes, for me though, I never could tell for him.”
"Exactly how it felt." Pa affirmed.
"You girls are lucky." Kat sighed.
"Oh don''t be like that, he''ll soon be back." Paforted.
"There''s nothing to be lucky about because it has all ended." I told her. She was referring to Alex and I.
"Who knows? Now that he''s back into your life, something could happen." Kat shrugged.
"Nothing, just don''t think of it." I said. I was yet to tell them of the agreement I had with my dad.
“So you never finished your story with Noir, what was your reply when he told you that?" This was from Pa.
"I was speechless, but then he pretended as though he had not told me anything."
Imented.
"Maybe he had seen your reaction and decided to make light of the matter. Kat was mindlessly ying with the stud adorned on the ck leather shoe.
"How do you mean?" I inquired, my brows furrowed.
"You might have given a reflex reaction showing you''re not interested in him that way anymore." Pa reasoned.
"Hm. Maybe." I had no idea what else to reply them. My phone rang, I checked
the caller ID. An unknown number. I picked it, but did not say anything.
The voice was static, I could not really hear anything. Whoever this person was,
they were in a ce withoutwork. I ended the call immediately.
"Who was that?" Kat asked.
"I don''t know. An unknown number and I was not hearing a thing."
A short silence followed, only to be broken by Pa. "What if it''s Jace?"
"Jace?!" Kat and I chorused.
"Yes, I don''t know, I''m not sure. Just a guess."
Kat''s phone rang, I was instantly at alert. What if Pa was right, and it was Jace? Kat quickly raised herself from the bed. "An unknown number."
"Pick it up, Kat. Quickly." Pa and I urged her.
Her hands were trembling, the phone almost slipped out of her hold. We were all
ball of nerves, why would Jace call us with an unknown number?
She gingerly pressed the phone to her ear. "Hello." Her eyes widened. "It''s Jace."
