Chapter 139

“It’s going to be so weird seeing my parents when they were younger…” Lucas says, rubbing his chin. “My Dad looks the same, though. He stopped aging, but my Mom is in her early twenties or something? That’s going to be weird. I’m used to her being a cougar…”

“A cougar?” consider my curiosity piqued. “You mean to tell me your Mom didn’t always date a younger man?”

Lucas laughs. “My Dad is actually the older one, but, like I said, he stopped aging. He doesn’t like it, though.”

“Why not?”

“It makes Mom unhappy when younger women try to hit on him because they think she is too old for him.”

“Well, that’s rude… And wait, I thought everyone in the pack knew they were fated mates. I mean, hello, both of your parents have been Alphas.”

“Yeah, no one in the pack would dare to flirt with my Dad, but I’m talking

about human women.”

“Oh…” I look down at the floor, unsure what to say next, while my mind spins. Is Lucas going to stop aging, too? Am I going to share the same future as his Mom?

F*ck, I hope not. I don’t want to be a cougar–not that I have anything against older women dating younger men, I just…. Lucas looks better than me already, and adding wrinkles to my face wouldn’t be good for my self- confidence.
