“Sure, whatever. But the minute you get all d****e-like, I’m leaving.” I shrugged, but definitely didn’t let my guard down.
“Aw you know I was just playing about yesterday.” Ethan teased, and I rolled my eyes.
His blonde hair wasn’t slicked back in it’s normal style, it sat tousled on his head. Sure, Ethan was a fairly attractive guy. He could almost be called hot, but all of that faded away once you got to know his personality.
“Sure you were.” I muttered, sipping on my coffee.
Ethan plopped down on the bench next to me and leaned back. I gave him a ‘what the f**k’ look when he let his arm rest on the bench behind me.
“So, what’ve you been up to this past year.” He shot me a smirk.
“Went to my grandma’s, trained and graduated high-school.” I shrugged.
Ethan frowned, “Y’know, Scott was actually distraught when he heard you left. He tried to figure out where you went, but your folks wouldn’t tell him anything.”
That small shriveled part of my heart that once loved Scott squeezed at what Ethan had said, but my mind knew better. Scott tossed me away like trash and his friends did the same. It was pathetic irony that Scott tossed his own pack away as well.
I rolled my eyes at Ethan, “Look, I genuinely don’t care. I don’t see how that’s hard to understand.”
I could feel someone’s eyes on me and looked around to find the source. I locked eyes with Alpha
Nolan, who stood across the town’s square talking to a couple men. I assumed the men weren’t new additions to his pack due to the scars that littered their body.
Was everyone in Alpha Nolan’s pack so scary looking?
Ethan’s voice pulled my eyes away from Alpha Nolan’s.
Ethan leaned closer to me, invading my personal space. Invading someone’s personal space was an
Ethan specialty.
“So you’ve really moved on, huh?” Ethan asked, his eyes roaming my face as though he were searching for something.
I shrugged, “Yep.”
“Y’know, I never said this before but I always kind of liked you.” Ethan gave me a lopsided smile.
“Ethan, you say that to every girl.” I looked at him with a straight face.
Ethan acted like I wounded him, “I mean it with you though. You’re gorgeous and you have a s*xy body.” I resisted the urge to gag.
I officially had enough of this conversation.
“Goodbye, Ethan.” I said sweetly, standing from the bench to walk away. I glanced over at Alpha Nolan and felt a smug pang roll through me as I caught him looking.
Ethan muttered something under his breath loud enough for me to hear.
“You never played this hard to get with Scott.”
“Did he really just say that?” Maya growled in my head.
I could feel Maya try to push herself forward, and I reacted on instinct.
I dumped my poor Iced Mocha down Ethan’s head. Maya howled with laughter while I mourned the loss of my coffee.
“f**k you, Ethan.” I gave him once last sweet smile.
I could feel Alpha Nolan’s eyes on my back as I walked away.
I walked down the street, wondering if the smirk I had was permanently etched onto my face. At least Alpha Nolan now knew that I acted this way all of the time.
Even with a new Alpha in charge, things in this small town remained the same. Only a handful of people had actually changed. Unfortunately, none of the a******s had changed.
I wandered around aimlessly, missing the taste of mocha coffee on my tongue.
“Did we really have to dump the coffee on him?” I grumbled.
Maya rolled her eyes, “What else did you expect us to do?”
“I don’t know.” I sighed, “Throat punch him?”
Maya’s ears perked up, “sh*t, I wish I would’ve thought about that. Can we go back?”
I snickered at her, “Maybe next time. I’m sure this won’t be the last time he says some stupid sh*t.”
“Promise?” Maya sounded hopeful.
I headed back home, feeling as though my day had been completely uneventful. When I walked in the door I was greeted by the smell of my grandma’s cooking. Plates of sweets were scattered all along the counter, and she was just pulling a pan of brownies out to cool.
“Oooh.” I cooed, reaching to pick up one of her cookies when she smacked my hand away.
“Not for you, miss!” My grandma scolded me, “Their for the other families in this pack that lost someone in the fight.”
I sighed, the cookies really did look amazing.
My grandma’s stern look softened and she handed me a cookie.
“Now go outside and help your dad with the garden.” She pushed me towards the back door and I groaned.
“Don’t sass me. You have your cookie, now go!” She shooed me away.
I stuffed the cookie into my mouth and groaned at the chocolate-y goodness.
I could see my dad on his knees digging up some of the d**d flowers. Mom always had a huge garden, something she had picked up from grandma.
“I see the dictator has ordered you to work too.” My dad grumbled with a smile on his face.
“Yes sir.” I smirked, getting down to help him.
“Did she pay you with sweets too?” My dad chuckled.
