"Where are you?".....


    I didn''t even get the chance to say hello.


    "I''m getting coffee-.....


    "You couldn''t even send me a text to let me know?". He interrupted.


    "Says the one that left without telling me". Rolling my eyes I nced at my aunt ire. I knew she was listening.


    "Pack business princess-....


    "Yeah well my gran kicked us out and I got hungry".


    "Kicked you out?". He asked.


    "She''s so stubborn". I sighed causing him tough.


    "Baby you''re the exact same. Let me know when you''re home and I''ll swing by and pick you up".


    "Or I could just get dropped off at yours?". Wouldn''t that make more sense. "Are you still with my uncle Zac?". As if on queue my aunt ire''s phone started to ring. "He''s out with Carter. Both needed to let of some steam by the sounds of it".


    "Did they argue?".


    "It''s none of my business babe which means it''s none of yours. Let them deal with it".


    "But I-...". "Leah"...


    "Fine". I huffed. "I have to go my food is getting cold". Hanging up I grabbed my fork digging into my eggs. My aunt ire had nipped out as soon as her phone went.


    If Carter wanted to go home then he could I wasn''t going to stop him. But if they were forcing him then surely something could be done?


    Taking a sip of my coffee my eyes diverted to the door as it chimed. "Shorty". He grinned causing augh to fall from my lips. It soon stopped when I saw who he was with. Ro!


    Why was he with him?


    "Where have you been?". Like always he stole food from my te taking my aunt ire''s seat. "I''ve missed you". He pouted.


    "Surely you''ve heard what happened?". The hairs on the back of my neck stood as Ro approached the table.


    "Beautiful". He winked nudging Ryan to move over.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''ve no chance". Ryanughed. "But yeah I heard what happened. Mr Gagher is an asshole".


    "Yeah". I could feel Ro''s stare but chose to ignore it. He obviously knew that I knew what he was. "I should be back soon though".


    "Oi". Ryan elbowed Ro in the side. "Her man will kick your ass if you keep looking at her like that".


    Augh fell from Ro''s lips. "I ain''t scared". He smirked.


    "You should be". Our eyes locked. I wasn''t ying this game. He knew who Jake was, he knew that I was his mate.


    "I''m up for the challenge beautiful"....


    Challenge? There was no challenge. If Jake even got a whiff that he was sniffing around he''d kill him.


    "Good luck with that". Ryanughed. "I''m going to get a milkshake"....


    "What are you doing?". I hissed as soon as Ryan was out of earshot.


    "No idea what you''re talking about. How''s the hand?".


    "You do know what I''m talking about and why are you with Ryan?".


    "Listen princess-....".


    "Don''t call me that, don''t you ever call me that". I snapped. He knew fine well what he was doing and I didn''t like it.


    "I''m not scared of your little Alpha". He smirked running a hand through his hair. "I like you beautiful and--...". He inhaled deeply. "You''re fair game".


    Wait what?


    "Yo shorty youing out on Friday?". Ryan slid in beside me wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "You not finishing that?". He took my te before I could answer. I wanted to know where my aunt ire was.


    "Depends where it is and who''s going". I nced at Ro before quickly looking away.


    "Everyone". Ryan grinned. "Bring nna with you or don''t".


    "I''ll see". I smiled.


    "Leah we have to go". My aunt ire frowned as she nced between Ryan and Ro. "Now, hurry up".


    Weird.


    Taking a drink of my coffee I grabbed my phone nudging Ryan so I could get out. "I''ll text youter". "You better"...


    As we reached the car my aunt ire turned and looked at me. "Friends of yours?".


    "What''s going on?". I asked ignoring her question. I didn''t even get to finish my coffee. "Uncle Zac and Carter had a bit of a disagreement".


    "Is he forcing him go home?". If Carter didn''t want to go then he shouldn''t have to.


    "It''s his birth right Leah".


    "Yeah well maybe he doesn''t want it". I clipped my seatbelt in as she started the car. He was happy here, nna was here.


    "Doesn''t matter if he does or doesn''t. The title is his and he has to im it".


    "I don''t think that''s true".


    "Excuse me?". She was a little taken back by my reply. "Carter is no good here. He will struggle to take order from someone below his rank. In your pack he is nothing, he has no ce". "He''s family, my family. He''s not nothing and there will always be a ce for him". That annoyed me.


    "I''m not discussing this with you when you don''t know enough about it. Am I taking you to Jake''s or dropping you off home?". "Jake''s".


    We didn''t speak the rest of the car ride home.
