37. What we always do
“You made all this for us?”
The dining table is laden with food. The plates set and
chairs set. Mac n’ cheese, sandwiches, tea and coffee,
omelets, fruit salad and pancakes.
“Of course,” I smile brightly “We deserve a little
appreciation for coming all this way, don’t we?”
Alpha Hugo and his beta, Johnathan exchange a look
before the Alpha smiles at me.
“You’re right, Milady,” he says, then pulls out a chair for
me “But you must join us.”
I hold back a relieved sigh at his compliance.
“Why not?” I smile and I sit down. I glance around the
table “Everyone? Should we start?”
Ethan sits down across me, Tyler seats himself as well.
Alpha Brennan and his companion, Warrior Isaac also
join us. The lunch goes smooth as butter until someone
decides to be smart.
“Where is Alpha Luke?” Alpha Hugo asks
Thank universe I planned this beforehand. With a sigh,
I lean back in my chair, a glass of juice held in my
hand as though its wine.
“Luke and I,” my eyes flicker to Ethan for a moment
“We had an argument. He was being difficult for no
reason.”
Alpha Hugo keeps looking at me for a moment, then
at Ethan before saying “I see.”
The poor soul, he’s probably thinking our team
coordination isn’t strong. Well… its not exactly a lie but
when both of us want to win so badly, we can put our
differences aside.
After lunch, Ethan accompanies me back to my room,
awkward silence stretches between us until we reach
the door of my room.
“Elise,” my hand stops at the handle
I turn to look at Ethan again, he’s staring straight at
me, a determined gleam in his eyes.
“Just so you know,” he says, without breaking the eye
contact, takes my hand in his, giving it a gentle
squeeze “I think you did the right thing. You stood up
for yourself against all those higher ranks.”
He cups the side of my face and I blush like an idiot.
Ethan’s features soften in a smile, his eyes clear as the
sky.
“I admire you.” he says softly
“Heart-touching, really.”
I jump away from Ethan, face burning from
embarrassment.
Luke’s unimpressed, slightly pissed face enters my
vision. He’s standing with his hands behind his back,
towering over Ethan by a good few inches, looking like
some military general staring at a bug under his shoe.
“But I’m afraid you will have to put a leash on your
feelings, Parks.” He says coldly “I have something to
discuss with my partner.” Don't forget to leave a Comment
