“Low blow” I sale are tensed myw. She chuckled and then rubbed her hands together as the food
arrived. My eyes widened and stammered to get any words out.

*Loont know when milkshake you liked so I bought my favorite and another one. You choose,”
“Which one is your favorite?” I asked.
“Thats why I’m telling you to choose, otherwise you’ll take the one that isn’t my favorite,”
“Obviously, its caled manners
“Yeah, you seem to have a lot of experience with that,” she said and her brows went up.
“Chocte, that’s my favorite,” I said and waited for her reaction.
“Perfect, ’cause strawberry is mine,” she winked and handed me the chocte milkshake and we
dug
into the food
After an hour and a half, we had cleaned half the table but there was still a lot left.
“You eat as much as me,” I said jokingly.
Falways me it on my wolf” she said and took a bite out of the burger. My eyes grew twice the

I shook my head.
“No, I don’t have my wolf yet,”
“Huh, you should still be able to sense others,” she said and wiped her hands.
“Which pack-”
“Yours, I was at your wedding,” she said and her eyes fell a little.
“So you knew those girls,” I said and nodded my head.

“Aha, and I stay as far away from them as posse. They’re best friends with your husbands’ ex,” She
said and drank her milkshake while looking at me. I closed my eyes and whined as my head fell
back against the backrest.
“They’re friends with Sam,” I repeated and mentally pped myself for being so stupid.
“Yup, the bitch squad,”
“Is that their name?” She shrugged a shoulder.
“It’s my name for them,”
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Cas8sy, it’s short for Casandra,” she said.
“I’m Gabby, it’s short for Gabrie,” Cas*sy started aughing and I was befuddled.
“I know, you’re my Luna, remember?” I cringed when I heard that. I was nobody’s Luna, or at least I
didn’t feel like one.
We finished our food and headed to the parking lot. Cas*sy offered to give me a ride back to the
pack.

“What’s your experience with them?” I asked as we drove up the road.
“With the bitch squad?” She asked and my shoulders shook from the silentughter.
“Yeah, them,” I said.
She grew quiet and looked out onto the road.
“I was a part of their group once,” my body tensed and my guard went up.
“When we were younger, Sam and I were best friends. We used to hang out all the time and yes,
we weren’t nice to others. Eventually, our group grew and you’d be amazed at how many more
wanted to join. Then things happened, we grew older, Sam started dating Aiden and we grew apart.
Then one day she just changedpletely. I don’t know if it was because of her boyfriend or the
number of followers she gained

but she became an evil bitch and I couldn’t stand it, nor could I stand by it.” She said and gripped
the stirring wheel tightly.
“We’re not friends anymore, you don’t have to worry,” She said when I didn’tment on her story.
If I’d learned anything it was that people lied and they cheated you, regardless of where you were or
what they said. Knowing they had been friends put me on edge.
“But you do,” she said with a sigh and looked back onto the road.
“Yes,” I answered honestly.
“Guess I’ll have to earn your trust then,”
“Don’

“What do you mean?” She asked and looked between me and the road.
“I mean that it’s probably better you stick with the friends you have and leave me be. Something’s
telling me that being my friend won’t be worth it either way,”

“That’s the same voice that told you to go shopping with satans minions? Cause in that case I think
need to mute it,” I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face.
“My life is messed up, you’d be jumping aboard an already wrecked train,”
“Great, my life’s messed up too, and honestly-” she said and pulled her shoulders up to her ears.
“- I haven’t cared to make friends after Sam. I like you, you’re cool and everybody’s messed up in
some way or another,” I nodded my head and realized that she was right. Everyone was a little
messed up but what was the point of being friends with someone if you couldn’t tell them
everything? There’d have to be immense trust in order for me to tell her the stuff that is happening.
How I didn’t want to be here, how Sam wasn’t Aidens ex but that they were still getting it on, and
how his best friend had some issues with me. Not to mention my family history.
We arrived at the pack and got out in town.
“Thank you,” I said and looked around at everyone there.
“No worries, do you wanna grab a coffee or something?” She asked and looked a little
ufortable doing so.
It was either having a coffee and risking C*ssy stabbing me in the house and maybe seeing Aiden
or his vengeful girlfriend.
“Sure,” I said. The choice was pretty obvious.
or going back to the pack
We walked into the cutest little cafe with couches ced a little here and there. The tables were a

rustic metal and the walls were dark bricks. It was a very calming atmosphere had it not been for
the massive amounts of people in here.
The counter had cakes on disy in all different shapes and vors.
My stomach was full but I was drooling as I looked at the chocte-coveredva cake and the
chocte chip muffins but I knew that If I ate another thing I would die..
“One cappino and one-” I said and turned to Cas*sy.
“No, I’ll order after you,” she said and I stared at her until she answered
“A mocha please,” she said and smiled at the young guy who took the orders.
She took out her card but I ced my hand over hers.
“You bought food, I’ll buy coffee,” I said and blipped my card.
We sat down on one of the tables and I sipped on my drink. My head kept turning left and right as
people came and went. I couldn’t tell whether it was because I didn’t feel safe or if it was curiosity,
maybe both, but I needed to know who was in there and see their faces. I could probably also

“Are you okay”
Ca*sy asked.
“Yeah, I’m good,” I said and took another sip.
“So you work at Chanel?” I asked..
“Yup, have been since I turned eighteen. Before that, I worked here,” She said and smiled.
Cas*sy took a deep breath and her lips pressed in a firm line.
“What’s on your mind?” I asked.
– trust and a
“Well, in the spirit of gaining that feel like there is something you should know.” She said and looked
up at me through hershes. My body tensed as it had a million times already and I thought about
just keeping it in this position.
“Yes?” I said when she didn’t continue.
“There’s a rumor going around about you. Most people have heard it and it just grew the days
before -your arrival,” I scoffed.
“That I’m spoiled a bitch?” I asked and looked at her.
Ca*sy nodded her head and scrunched her nose.
“I’m not gonna lie, I believed them. They sounded more like a describing personality rather than a

rumor,” she said.
“It’s fine. I had the same rumor back at my old pack,” I said and shrugged a careless shoulder.
There was no way to escape gossip and rumors, I had tried. And even trying to set them right
always bit me in the *ss so I stopped.
“But why? How did it get started?”
“My family’s loaded. We have a lot of money, or well they have. It goes back generations, real
estate, hotels, casinos, airlines etcetera. The spoiled rumor probably came from there and the
spoiled bitch rumor could be that I stopped paying for everyone’s crap all the time and they didnt

“I’m so sorry,”
“What were you born for if not being who you are?” Marriage, apparently.
“I’ll let you know when I find out,” I said and gave her a side smile.
