I finish coughing and look up, my eyes still watering. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand how you <b>and </b>Shane beingpatible is rted to anything we <b>talked </b>about earlier ”


    Alpha Christina looks at Sebastiana, raising an eyebrow “I thought we were being subtle Well, I WAS being subtle Your brother hasn’t quite learned that trait yet I asked your brother to kiss me, and he did,” she says. This time I spit my drink out


    “You <b>asked </b>him <b>to </b>kiss you?” I ask as I grab some tissues and wipe up


    my mess


    “Your brother is hot. He’s going to be at the Academy with me, and I wanted to see if he and I would be good partners in the sex ss.”


    I begin coughing all over again.


    “You do know he’s still working through his grief, Sebastiana.” Alpha Christina says,ing over to pat my back


    “We didn’t have sex, Mom. I told him I wasn’t ready for that. But let’s be honest. I’ve already told you I don’t want my first time to be in such a clinical environment. I’m not some experiment for a strange Alpha to practice on. That’s just weird. I want it to be someone I know and like And now I know we’repatible,” she says smugly, sitting back and sipping her whiskey without any problem.


    “It’s <b>not </b>like that. We’ve had this discussion several times. Sebastiana. ”


    Alpha ChristinS DES


    “What is it like? Tak


    She looks at me, making sure I’m done coughing before returning to her seat.


    “The Academy makes sure to keep clear lines for students and their partners. Partners are not required to do anything they aren’t


    “And then make theme as often as possible,” Sebastiana says with a gleam in her eyes. I nearly choke again, but this time I get the drink down.


    “You’re saying that if you and Shane are partners in the Academy…”


    “Not if, when. Yes, your brother and I will be having sex and because I have a legacy to live up to, he’s going to be a very happy man. Often,” she says, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.


    “I envy your confidence,” I say softly.


    “The Academy could help you with that,” Alpha Christina says, watching me. “It’s what they do best. They take young Alphas like yourself and make them better, stronger, more confident versions of themselves.”


    We talk for nearly two hours. Mostly Sebastiana talks, while Alpha Christina listens and asks questions. They ask me some questions about my parents, and I find that it helps to talk about them.


    When the door opens and Alpha Sebastian steps in, I look up, realizing that the time has flown by. Alpha Sebastian steps back out and calls out to Christian. A momentter he walks in.


    “Hey, I was justing to check on you.” He sees the empty ss in my hand. “Are you doing okay?”

    16:56


    “Yes. We had whiskey girl talk.” I say, looking at Sebastiana for confirmation of what she called it


    “Yes, we did. It was amazing, as always. Thanks, Mom,” she says, hugging her mother. She begins walking to the door.


    “Excuse me.” Alpha Sebastian says, giving his daughter a look.


    “Goodnight, Daddy,” she says, rushing over to kiss his check


    “Sleep well.” he says as she walks out.


    “I’ll walk you to your room,” Christian says, reaching out a hand to me When I stand, I realize I’m a bit wobbly.
