I shouldn’t have been surprised when Blake 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 her comment. 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 his comment hurt. I thought we had a great weekend together. That we were friends. Aiden smacked Blake 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 Blake stopped me by grabbing my hand, he whipped me around to face him.
“I’ve been dealing with Clarke.” 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 circular 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 Blake sat beside me. I ensured I was closer to Blake 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 started laughing.
“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 classy 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 exclaimed, smashing his eyes shut. We all laughed at his antics. He was so sweet not wanting to make his mate worry. He clearly loved her.

“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.
