---- Chapter Twelve Chapter Twelve Ryley My stomach grumbled as I made my way into the dining room. It wasn't busy, so I grabbed a sandwich, some fruit, and a bottle of water. I had Channing nagging in my head about eating more, so I also grabbed a diet soda. I sat down at an empty table, opening up the container of cut-up fruit and berries before I started to look through my emails. I could feel curious eyes on me and it twisted my stomach. I should have taken everything back to my office to eat at my desk. 1/10 ---- Chapter Twelve It didn't take long before I was lost in all the unread emails, and I had finished eating. I was just finishing up an email before I headed back to my office. The clicking of heels on the tile floor caught my attention and they stopped right in front of the table I was sitting at. I could feel someone's intense glare but little did they know, I was used to being glared at and no one intimidated me. A foot started to tap, impatiently as I took my time finishing my email before turning my attention to the woman. Looking up, there was a tall brunette in a very short black halter dress. She was also wearing a full face of makeup. She looked ready to hit the club, not the pack house dining room. 2/10 ---- Chapter Twelve I looked at my phone screen to check the time. Surely Beta Luca would have come and found me if I was that late. Our alpha will never want a rogue, she sneered, her nasal voice made me cringe. Excuse me? I asked, standing up from my seat. I sized her up. I was taller than her, even in her four-inch heels. Alpha Blake is too good for you. Leave before you humiliate yourself, she snorted. I stood there staring at her glaring face. I couldn't figure out if I wanted to laugh in her face or feel sorry for her stupidity. 3/10 ---- Chapter Twelve But hes good enough for you? I questioned with a smirk. Who was I kidding, I could never back down. Ah, how dare you? He is mine and everyone knows it. She shrieked. Does he know that? I pushed my lips into a line to hold in my laughter as I stared at her agape face. Of course he does. We are waiting until that son of his goes off to alpha training, she huffed, stomping her foot like a child. Just her mention of Aspen had my blood boiling. I may have only known him for a few days, but he is wonderful. The perfect best friend for my son. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
