He shrugged. “I picked Italy.” “Thank you!” I said as I lunged at him. “Don’t mess up my masterpiece! “ Emmy yelled. Alec smirked as he caught me, giving me a hug back. “Open ours next.” Jasper was still frowning. “1...” I saw Emmy hold up the number 4. “Hey! That’s cheating!” I yelled. “1

“Obviously...” Jasper put him arm around Emmy. He looked like a classic fuck me boy but thankfully he was good for Emmy. Turning around, Alec placed his hand on my thigh. Wrapping my arm around his. “Remember last time we were on this road?” I said in the mind-link. Alec didn’t respond but squeeze

“I know, baby girl.” Alec rubbed my back. “How many pet names are you going to try out?” I asked. “They all just quite don’t fit.” Alec muttered. “Finally, Kristen and her mate, future Alpha Alec of the Blue Fang pack!” Alec and I walked out to the largest cheering yet. Lights blinded me as I

“Enjoy.” Dad kissed my forehead as he gave me a hug. Colt cut me a piece before handing it to me. We each took our bites as the room erupted in applause. Everyone went back to talking but as Colt was leading me to the floor, someone stopped us. “Happy birthday!” Darin’s voice caused me to recoil.

“Let my mom take you to the bathroom and help you clean up so you can rejoin the party.” I commanded. There was an option there but not much. “Come on, dear” Mom put her arm around her and we followed them. As they went into the woman’s bathroom, we went into the men’s. Jacob was washing his hands

“As long as you behave, I’ll dance once with you.” My eyes narrowed at her. “Good. Let’s go.” Darin held out his arm to her. Kristen avoided eye contact with me as she took his arm. I felt a hand wrap around my arm.“You’re going to want to let go.” I said firmly. “Stay out here. I have her.” It

“Nope.” Shoving my ass further into him, I felt him chuckle. “You need to get up and get a good breakfast in you. You have a fight to win.” “Looking forward to it!” “You need to focus. Winning this will keep others away.” He sounded more concerned then I felt. “Who else has had the balls to c
