Chapter 138
The absentminded look in his eyes narrow into slits when he turns to look at Noah who
sheepishly tries to blend in the background.
“This idiot decided to send me a text saying something about the Bloodlust Alpha eating
you.”
Weston snickers, earning a glare from the accused. Of course the one responsible for this
mess is my Beta but, eating me? Since when did I become food? What the hell did that
mean? My thoughts immediately ran back to when Noah caught Raizel and I kissing, Oh.
a”s what he meant. Did Noah really have to word it like that? I sighed exasperatedly, getting
the mally uncomfortable from all the spectators surrounding us. I was still straddling
soon.

in the tight hold he hand on me, he had no intention of letting go anytime
Not that I really had a problem with that, but we at least had to appear decent.
Sliding my legs off him, I pry his fingers off and go to stand. I catch the slight pout on his
face and had to bite my lip to stop myself from grinning. Meredith, however, doesn’t
hesitate to grin at the two of us. I feel the smugness practically radiate out of her.
“I was already a few miles away in the car but I got worried and so I… jumped out the car and ran here…leaving my… stuff.”
Isaac trailed off, an uncomfortable silence following his words. Isaac’s expression molds
into confusion and slowly panic when reality sank in. Looking down at the ground with
intense concentration, his eyes warily lift up to meet mine.
“Oh shit.”
Without another warning he dashes out to where we all assume is the car he left his stuff in. His heavy footsteps pounding against the stairs ringing down the hall.
“Ngah, Beta Creed, do help Isaac locate his belongings.‘
Meredith says suddenly without batting an eye, watching Raizel and I. Weston looks like he’s about to protest when Raizel adds,

“Do as she says.”

With a resigned look on his face, Weston slumps but shrugs leisurely at the command. Noah rolls his eyes but turns on his heel with Weston staggering back, Drifting his gaze to his Alpha, the Beta mocks a salute,
“Aye, aye Captain. I know when I’m unwanted. Have fun with the in–laws.”
will.”
I look at Raizel in open surprise, not catching Weston’s eyebrows raising in equal astonishment at his easy response. My heart clenched and the smile I failed to restrain
grows.
The in–law of course there was a chance he was just going along with Weston’s harmless joke for th
of cutting it short, but with his personality and seriousness I doubted it. It made me heart flutter just thinking of the chance he and I could one day be…
I shook myself out of my daze. This was not the time to get lost in daydreams of the far
future.
Raizel raises a brow at Weston who slowly shuffles backwards with his lips pressed in a
grim line of trying not to smile. When the blonde finally followed Noah down the stairs, I let
out a shuddering breath.
“I like the sound of that.”
Meredith chimes in, a gleeful smile on her face as Williams frowns.
“I don’t.”
He flinches when Meredith cuts him a glare,
“Kidding, kidding.”
But from the begrudging mumble under his breath, he really wasn’t.
“So…”
Meredith drawls, ignoring the pitiful Williams pouting beside her. She crosses her arms,

looking far too pleased for my comfort and stares at me to which my reddened cheeks strained with a whole new shade of red.
“What a very interesting position you two were in.”
I open my mouth to defend myself but really, what could I have said? It was exactly what it looked like. No way was it a coincidence that I was laying on–top of him simply because I
fell. I’d just be digging myself in a very deep hole if I did. Shutting my mouth and chewing
on the inside of my cheeks, I felt Raizel stand to take his place beside me.
“Alpha Crestfield, would you mind speaking with me?”
His eyes swept between Williams and I,
“Alone?”
Meredith’s surprise is obvious but she quickly composed herself. She loosely untangled her
arms, smiling softly before giving him a single nod.
“Of course.”
I drew my eyebrows together as Williams wordlessly turned to leave the room. He didn’t
question it, but I did. Looking to Raizel with confusion on my face, he gives me a half smile, leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead. Waves of tranquility filled me from the minute his soft lips touched my skin. His hand cupped my jaw, thumb rubbing down the curve as his index finger tilted my head up with the slightest bit of pressure.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be long.”
It’s those parting words that eases my suspicion.
“Okay.”
I mumbled, just barely leaning into his touch. A flash of appreciation glowed on his expression. His wolf taking note of my trust in him and in return, barking out his joy. With one last glance to Meredith and Raizel, I walked out the door joining Williams as he headed down the stairs.
