Chapter 125
âYour parents heard.â
F uck.
âHeard?â
I repeated. He rolls his eyes at my attempt to feign ignorance and raises his shoulders into a shrug.
âTheyâre happy for you.â
Leaning against the cu shion, he smirks.
âThough, your mother is a little offended at the fact you didnât bother introduce her.â
The pure amusement in his tone rubbed me the wrong way but I kept my mouth shut. I hum, walking to the glass cabinet where the whiskey is kept. Taking three cups in my hand and grabbing a bottle, I walk over to Williams and had him one. Weston pushes himself off the wall and walked over, taking his cup from me. Pouring them a cup, I sigh.
âI donât want to scare her off too early with the whole lover-meeting-the-parents bit.â
I tell him, taking a swig of the whiskey. I donât take note of Williamsâ expression and the way his eyes bulged from their sockets before he starts coughing and wheezing with the whiskey spilling from the cup he dropped. He hunched over, slamming the hand he curled into a fist on his chest. âL-lover?â
he blanched, face going red.
I get quiet, holding the cup in my hand as Weston looks over to me then Williams with shimmering, excited eyes. I can feel his thirst for drama. The excitement through the bond tells me so.
ââ¦Perhaps.â
I mumble, still unsure exactly where I stood with Selene. She had given me permission to pursue her, but I donât know where that would put me as. We were more than acquaintances but less than friends.
The feelings I get around her would strongly disagree, but even I knew that our contact with one another wasnât much to brag about.
âPerhaps? What do you mean?â
Williams probs, easily forgetting about the whiskey he spilled over the floor.
âI asked her for the permission to pursue her, and she agreed.â
Williamsâ eyes widened as he slowly sank into his seat. He nodded, a look of understanding crossing his face. He looked beyond surprised. Like he was not expecting our relationship ship to progress this quickly. I canât really blame him. I had my own doubts when I asked her. Glancing over to him from the corner of my eyes, I took another swig of whiskey.
ââ¦So I donât have to worry about grandpups anytime soon, right?â
I c ock a brow, mildly amused by his question. Weston busts out laughing, hand clutching onto his stomach as he leisurely made his way toward the desk. Grabbing the bottle of whiskey, he pulled the lid off and began to pour himself another glass.
âAt this rate Chancellor, your grandpups are definitely coming in the near future.â
He smirks, eyes darting to look at me. His eyebrows wiggling suggestively.
âUnless theyâre already in the oven?â
Williamsâ face pales as he looks at me. His wolf stands upright, eyes as wide as his before falling

over from shock. I roll my eyes, finishing off any remaining alcohol in my cup.
âYou two lack faith in me.â
Weston shrugs, sipping on his drink before rolling his head to the side.
âCan you really blame us, Alpha? The one and only time you and Alpha Crestfield made a public appearance, you both were so enwrapped with one another to notice anything!â
âOr care for location.â
Williams grumbles under his breath.
âIt was like porn in a weird, elegant way. I was confused whether I was supposed to clap or feel extremely aroused from that. Hell, everyone was! Trust me Alpha, I would much rather not get hot and heavy with you being the male counterpart. Do you know how f ucking weird that is?Seeing my best friend in that kind of action. Alpha Crestfield, however is a different story-â
âYouâll find yourself bleeding with a very broken nose if you finish that sentence, Creed.â
My gaze cuts coldly to him. My wolf snarling low in my mind from his obvious taunts. Weston is unfazed, sporting an amused grin on his face as he holds his hands up in surrender.
âOkay, okay, sorry. No need to murder the Beta. But you knowâ¦â
His voice trails off. He looks over to Williams who rose a brow at him before returning his attention to me. The seriousness in his expression almost shocking from how playful he was being just seconds before.
â-a lot of the Alphas, more specifically, the mateless ones who attended the Gala have been talking.
Talking about how Alpha Crestfield was â of irresistible valueâ and âLuna materialâ. â
My wolf growled, tail flicking agaisnt the ground in anger. Westonâs own wolf was unhappy with the thought someone was trying to take her away from me. He had already begun to feel like Selene was part of our pack.
Or family, as he likes to say.
My eyebrows pinch together when his words register into my mind. I knew the talk of the whole dance between Selene and I widely stretched across from pack to pack just for the mere shock of it. What I didnât know was that some of these Alphas had the balls to even consider taking her from me.
From the moment i saw her, I knew she was mine.
Iâd be da mned if I let some other wolf take her from me.
