Chapter 16: Irina

Irina didn’t understand Ray. Right after Gabriel’s parents had paid them what was possibly the most uncomfortable visit in the history of their pack, he’d announced he wanted to organize a party for them and all their families the following Sunday. Irina had never spoken to him before he’d presented, but she felt confident saying this was unlike him.

Still, it was probably a good sign after months of seclusion, first because of his pregnancy, then because of the attack.

“Do you really think it’s enough meat?” Marisa asked. She was kneeling by the fridge in the beta wing and counting the packages again—for no reason other than to calm her nerves since it was packed so neatly it’d have been immediately evident if one of them had gone missing.

“Unless you have invited another twenty people, yeah,” Irina said, not trying too hard to hide her amusement. She wouldn’t have said things were back to normal, but she felt confident enough to go back to their usual dynamic as long as the conversation wasn’t too personal.

Marisa huffed and shot her a look. “So you’ll drive to the store and pick something up if we need it?”

“I would, but it’ll be closed,” she pointed out. “Closes at six on Sunday.”

“Ugh!” The other beta turned around and started rummaging through the cupboards. Irina started to wonder if she shouldn’t have reminded her.

“Okay, just—calm down,” Irina demanded. “I’ll buy some extra stuff and store it in my aunt’s freezer. Then we can pick it up if we need it, otherwise we’ll have it for the week’s meals.

Marisa was suddenly staring at her. For a moment, Irina couldn’t have predicted her reaction and then she broke into a smile deserving of a portrait. “You are a genius!”

“Hardly.” She turned away to glance at the schedule. Not because she had any plans or concerns, but Marisa didn’t need to know that. If she did know it, she was smart enough not to ask.

Irina had probably taught her that lesson well enough after she’d rejected her advances right after taking her out on what, on reflection, looked a lot like dates. But they were okay. Despite Kaylee’s addition to their visit to the Gosden Pack, Marisa seemed comfortable around her again.

It was fine, just a little stumble on the road. Nothing to really regret.
