e of Hearts Alpha’s Dangerous Love 178

Chapter 178

My heart might have melted a little at his thoughtfulness. "I'm really happy you get along with my family so well. The other night with everyone here was nice, though I may have been a little jealous at times. I think you fit in better with them than I did."

He frowned. "That's not true, they love you."

"Oh, I know. Enough that from what I heard, they practically lived here, and yet you had no idea I even existed." I was joking, but a part of it really did hurt.

I thought 'E' was a nickname for Lily, and some of the things they said never quite fit what I knew of her. I know now they were actually talking

about you, not her. Your siblings love you. I've never seen such closeness in a family before. If anyone's jealous here, it's me. I didn't even know a family could be like yours, and it makes me envious because mine was nothing like that. Sure I'm close with my brothers in our own way, but it's just very different."

He sounded a little sad and I realized I really didn't know anything about his family, or his life.

Chase had told me he didn't have anywhere to go after Kyle had tried to banish him. Had he really given up everything? For me?

We ate in companionable silence, each of us seemingly lost in our own thoughts. I watched him dip a peanut butter cracker into his soup, and I crinkled my nose in disgust. Side by side was one thing,

but literally eating them together looked gross.

"Don't judge me until you try it."

"No way."
