KESTER.

Silence sat comfortably between us after we were served out meals. The food was nothing more than a prop. It was obvious none of us were hungry after all, for different reasons.

For me, I had no appetite-not for this. My hunger lay elsewhere, in the warm embrace of my obsession, the one who filled my every waking, thought, the one who left no room for anyone or anything else.

I couldn't wait to get this over with so I could return to the arms of my Kasmine. She had clouded my mind so much that I couldn't think straight without her.

For Claire, it was different. She couldn't meet my gaze for more than a second without her cheeks flushing, her throat working as she swallowed nothing but nerves. The way she fidgeted, tucking strands of hair behind her ear, running her fingers along the rim of her glass-pathetic.

Was this the part where I engaged her in little, meaningless conversations and let her tell me unimportant things about herself? Things I don't give a fuck about?

The absurdity nearly made me laugh.

"So..." She cleared her throat, "How is Kasmine? Is she at home?"

Ah. An attempt at conversation.

I leaned back, my fingers tapping lazily against the table. "Would you rather she were here with us?"

She looked away with a small, nervous smile, "No. I just feel bad for not telling her you finally asked me on a date. She's my best friend, you know?"

“Hm.” I hummed and nodded once. "She must never know until I am ready for you to tell her. This should be our little secret," I reminded.

The blush on her face deepened, and I could almost hear the foolish hope fluttering in her chest.

She actually thought this was going to lead somewhere.

Pity.

"As you wish, Alpha," she murmured, sipping her juice, trying to compose herself.

"So, tell me, Claire," I leaned forward, "Apart from the things you've told me already about your friend, what other things are there that I don't know about?"

I saw the look of disappointment in her eyes. That wasn't what she had expected to hear.

For some time now, I had leveraged on Claire's feelings for me to get to know my little sister better, and she had been so helpful. For example, Claire had told me that Kasmine liked shopping but lacked the liberty to do so, so I swung into action and took her shopping
