    "Aren''t you hungry?" Clover turned her head to me, her gaze momentarily flicking to the te of sweet


    goods. Georgia had been in a baking mood earlier and decided to make some brownies for everyone.


    "No, I''m not hungry." I forced out a smile. "It''s not everyday you get to eat Georgia''s specialty." Clover


    said and stuffed her mouth with another piece of chocty sweetness. I opened my mouth to reply but


    Clover ced a small piece into my mouth. Rich chocty taste filled my mouth. I felt bile rise in my


    throat. "Umm... yum..." I forced out. "I told you that it was good." Clover said smugly and faced back to


    the 12 inch sma tv in front of us. "I''m going to the bathroom for a while." I stood up and rushed


    towards the nearest bathroom when I was out of Clover''s sight.


    I threw up as soon as I reached the toilet bowl. "Just in time." I muttered to myself. I spat out the mouth


    wash in the sink and went back to the living room.


    I plopped myself back onto the couch beside Clover, hiding the proof that I had threw up a few minutes


    ago. She turned to me and I tensed, hoping that she hadn''t notice.


    "So... You know, is the Alpha rude to you are something?" She asked curiously. I furrowed my


    eyebrows in confusion. "Since he''s the Alpha and stuff." She added helpfully. "Oh." I realized what she


    was talking about. She nodded and brushed the brownie crumbs off herp as she waited for an


    answer. "Nope. Not really. Also, I wouldn''t stand any of that shit if he did." I shrugged. "Good. At least


    your mate is treating you right." She sighed and gave me a little smile. "Oh Clover..." I trailed. "Don''t


    give me any of those pity shit. I don''t want pity." She held up a hand and I smiled. This is one of the


    things I like about her. "I just want to say that he is an ass for not realizing what a great mate you would


    make." I smiled reassuringly at her. "Mate? What am I? His booty call?" She asked in mock


    astonishment. I rolled my eyes at her. We both turned back to the ying movie that had been long


    forgotten.


    "The Alpha needs a girl like you. He''s really lucky." Clover murmured. "Oh." I answered. "Since he had


    a bad childhood. He needs a person who would stay by his side and tend his wounds." She turned to


    me briefly and then her gaze was back on the tv. Yeah, a person like me. A person who''s going to


    leave soon, my mind echoed sarcastically. "Oh, yeah." I choked out. Gwen fidgeted at the


    ufortable feeling that the topic gave her. Drew being Drew, stayed quiet and kept her cool, but I


    knew that she was feeling guilty.


    "Things changed for the good since you came." She added softly. "Why?" I raised an eyebrow in


    question. "Well, the Alpha has been on a great mood, I have a new and awesome friend and Jenny got


    put to her ce." Clover grinned at me. "Jenny? Oh, Jennifer." I nodded. "Seriously though, the girl is


    an exact definition of a slut and an attention whore." Clover rolled her eyes.


    "Yeah, she is." A voice whispered beside my ear, warm breath fanned my ear. Out of reflexes, I


    grabbed the persons arm as I back flipped from the couch, demon power coursing in my veins from the


    sudden scare. I almost managed to flip him but my opponent was quick and twirl me around. Before I


    knew it, my face was pressed down on a body.


    Muffledughter escaped through Clover''s hands and her eyes twinkled in amusement.


    That''s when my brain processed the familiarity of the until scent, mint and cinnamon. I lifted my head


    and widened my eyes in surprise as my blue eyes met a pair of grey ones.


    "Where did you learn to fight like that?" He groaned. "Sorry." I smiled sheepishly. "It hurts like hell. How


    are you so strong?" Ryder grumbled. "It''s not my fault you scared me. Just remember, do not ever


    scare me like that." I retorted, a little panicky at the fact that he realized my sudden strength. "I don''t


    think that it''s possible." He grinned and gave me a peck on the lips. I grumbled and stood up, dusting


    the high waisted shorts I was wearing.


    "Ok. What is the report about you kneading Lawrence''s balls?" He stood up after me with an eyebrow


    raised as he gave me a pointed look. I nced at Clover. She had a small smile on her face.


    "Umm... A little warning about...umm...not hurting my friend?" I grinned sheepishly. He sighed in mock


    disappointment. I chuckled as Cloverughed lightly.


    Yes haters, my life''s perfect right now. Eat that.
