Conversation at the table had ceased. All the young wolves stared silently at the human boy who was either brave or crazy enough to step into their

social space. I glanced toward the Keepers’ tables across the cafeteria. Sure enough, Logan had pushed his sunglasses up on his forehead to watch the

exchange. A lazy but somewhat interested expression hovered in his eyes.

“Of course.”

I blinked at the speed with which Ren had covered the space between himself and Shay.

“We’ve all been wanting to get to know you better, Shay. Please join us.”

We have?

Ren slid into the chair on the other side of me, pulling my lunch bag in front of him. One corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

“Calla, would you mind giving up your seat so Shay can sit here?”

Shay frowned. “I’m sure I can find a chair to bring over.”

“That’s not necessary.” Ren’s voice was icy; he kept his eyes on me.

I wasn’t sure what was happening, but I didn’t want to push him any further when it came to Shay. If I had to stand through lunch, so be it. I shoved my

chair in Shay’s direction.

Fingers circled my wrist. My head whipped around to see Ren’s eyes dancing with dark mirth while he drew me toward him like he was reeling in a

prize catch.

“So what’s for lunch?” He pulled me onto his lap.

“I really could get another chair.” I could hear the fury in Shay’s words.

Ren’s charcoal irises glowed with a challenge, and I was determined to meet it.

“No.” I fought to keep my voice steady. “This will be fine.”

“It really doesn’t look very . . . comfortable.”

I turned and saw Shay’s jaw twitch as he watched the alpha’s arms slide around my waist.

“Oh, I’m finding it very comfortable,” Ren purred. My cheeks ignited when his lips brushed my neck.

“Aren’t you, Lily?”

Shay cringed at the sound of Ren’s nickname for me. It took all of my will not to crack the alpha across the jaw. He was simply being cruel.

“It’s fine.”

I glared at Bryn, who was fluttering her eyelashes at me. Ansel had a foolish grin plastered on his face.

“Awww, look at that. It’s just the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.” Mason dropped his chin into his hands. “What have you two been up to when the

rest of us aren’t around? Naughty, naughty.”

Dax eyed us, a growl of pleasure rumbling in his chest. Fey winked at him and licked her lips. Nev looked up from the notebook he was scribbling in,

raised an eyebrow, then went back to writing.

Bryn and Ansel were both making faces at me. Even Sabine giggled. Cosette glanced at her but fidgeted in her seat and couldn’t manage a smile.

Defeated, I leaned back against Ren, whose arms tightened around me, making me think about how low his hands were on my waist, the way his touch lit

fires in places that, until recently, I’d hardly been aware of. Then I caught sight of the pain etched on Shay’s face.

“Shut up, Mason.”

I snatched the orange from my lunch and whipped it at him.
