“Well, he isn’t wrong.”
I raise my eyes to look at Williams. Running a hand through his hair, he leans forward in his seat, both elbows on his knees as he stares up at me. Chewing on his gums, he slumps
his shoulders.
“I’ve had a few curious wolves asking me about her. Some even going as far as asking me
for a formal introduction.”
he rolls his eyes when he sees my glare pointed at him.
“Oh don’t look at me like that. You know I didn’t agree to anything. I’ve been rooting for you
yed at the Capital. Why in the Goddess‘ name would I want to
since the da
introduce l
e sleazy opportunists? Leave it to you to doubt me.”
He sighs, leaning back and folding his hands behind his head.
“Besides, your father would skin me alive if I so much as thought about ruining your
chances with the only woman that ever caught your eye.”
I feel my lips tug up. A sudden nostalgic feeling coursing over my mind as I vividly
remembered a few times Williams and my father would brawl. Each and every time they’d
come back with busted lips, bruised bodies and sometimes, a few broken bones. But all was
just their rough play. Both enjoying a brawl like any other strong blooded wolf.
“Mother wouldn’t be so kind either.”
I add, smirking when he shuddered.
“Oh no, Young Alpha, your mother would be the absolute worst. Never joke about a woman’s grandpups. It’ll do you more damage than you can think possible.”
Weston nods in agreement, raising his glass to his words before bringing it to his mouth.
“Mmhmm- MM”
Hastily wiping his mouth, eyes slightly widen with realization.

“Seriously, Alpha. You better court Alpha Crestfield good. Like really, really good. That other Alpha– Alpha Walking, I think his name was? Yeah, he seemed awfully interested in her. Kept staring down at her like a hawk throughout the whole dance.”
I give him a look that rivaled his smug one. He obviously got the name wrong on purpose. His wolf snorting at the Alpha’s name like he had better things to do than to dwell on it.
“Alpha Walker?”
Williams flinches at the name but maintains his composure. Unease began to trickle into
my veins, a little put off at the reaction but not really knowing what it meant. He says nothing but his gaze falls to the floor. Averting his attention was the same as avoiding the
subject.
“Yeahhhh, real prick if you ask me. I don’t know, man. Something about that Alpha gives
me bad vibes whole
I’m–trying
d–to–be–the–next–Edward–Cullen–Except–with–Jacobs–wolf persona is just
really-”
He makes a disgusted face.
“ick.”
“Then it’s a good thing she has no interest in him. Besides, he has a mate. Luna Hestia.”
Williams‘ voice sounds off. A tone higher than usual that has me drilling my gaze into him. He undoubtedly feels my stare, but chooses not to acknowledge it. Instead, he clears his throat whilst looking at Weston.
“Well, Alpha Walker is the least of your worries. It seems my Nephew has gotten smitten.”
My eyes narrow down at him but he ignores it. With a sly smile on his face, he slowly turns to look at me with mischief dancing along his expression.
“Just like Marco, there are other wolves out there who took fancy to her.”
“Hear that, Alpha? It’ll do you well to bring your courting up a notch. Next thing you know, a handsome, dashing young Alpha, very much like myself, might just take your place.”
Weston puts his hand to his chest dramatically, trying his hardest to make the expression

of what I think he believes a ‘handsome, dashing young Alpha‘ would look like. His reference for such an expression? Unclear.
I feel my grip around the glass cup tighten.
“Man, I bet a line of wolves have tried making moves by now. No doubt receiving countless gifts and cards and whatnot.”
My grip tightened even more.
“Some may be thinking about future marriage proposals.”
Tighter.
“Possibly making schemes to meet with her as soon as possible. Haha, bet Nate is having a blast scheduling meetings. Suck on that asshole!”
Tighter.
“I bet some are already on their way!”
Tighter.
“Um, Weston I don’t think this-”
“Oh no, Williams! You’re right! They’re probably together as we speak! Damn, now would
be a good time to get Skittles. The red ones are my favorite-”
Shards of glass splintered from my hand. The glass cup I once held in my palm now fragmented and scattered across the wooden floor. Weston and Williams go quiet, no one
says a word. The atmosphere gone sour and heavy with tension. My wolf, not in any better
shape than I was. It was infuriating.
I felt something thick and slippery wrap around me. An unpleasant feeling bubbling in my chest as I tried to contain my growing anger. A low growl slips through the space between
my lips directed to no one in particular. No, that was a lie. It was directed toward someone.
Or rather, certain people. It was directed to the faceless Alphas who had the audacity to consider trying something with my Selene.
What was this?
