“Let me get this straight … Kai, Alex, and Alex’s sister—who shan’t be named because you’re still butthurt over her rejection—can all teleport like you. But Chaos can’t? Even though he used to be the Alpha of the Reinoso pack?”

“Whoa, I am not butthurt over her still,” he raised his voice in objection. “I’m angry.”

“Anger stems from butthurt,” I pointed out as he tossed back his fourth shot.

“She’s a royal bitch. You won’t like her either.”

“I’m going to meet her?” I asked with feigned excitement, craning my neck to survey the restaurant. “Is she joining us for shots?” I was way buzzed.

“Ha ha. You’re two shots behind, woman.” He jutted his chin at the lineup in front of me.

I tipped one back to appease him. And keep him talking. We’d covered quite a bit of ground about the conflict between the Reinoso and Salvatella packs already, and we’d even touched on some of the prophecy nonsense.

Raul was head Beta of the Salvatella pack, and I got the impression he didn’t get along so well with his pack Alpha, Gabriel Salvatella. In fact, my gut said Raul was probably busy politicking and plotting a coup when he wasn’t busy rescuing me from showers and alley brawls.

When I slammed my empty shot glass back onto the table, it was to find Raul shaking his head at me, a dejected, tired expression on his handsome face.

“You like Alcaeus; admit it.”

His statement caught me off guard. “You’re really keeping score. Sure you’re not trying to get in my pants?”

He looked away, scrubbing a hand over his face. “You’re falling for a man who’s a serious danger to your daughter. I don’t like it.”

Wow. O-kay. “You know, I’m six years older than you, Raul. This big brother act is endearing, but not quite working for me.”

“Good. Because I’d make a terrible big brother.” The eyes he returned to me were sad, despite his smile and jovial tone. “I’d only disappoint you.”

His eyes and our line of conversation reminded me of a time and place I preferred not to dwell on—of people I couldn’t afford to think about anymore. I shook it off and plastered a smile on my face. “Maybe you’re the one in need of a big sister.”

He hissed air through his teeth. “Eesh, I dunno. You gonna nag me to death?”

“It’s the job.”

“Fine. But little bros get a say in who their big sisters date.”

“Pssh! Not where I come from.”

He looked genuinely puzzled. “But they discuss that sort of thing, right?”

“In what universe?” I huffed. “You’re obviously an only child. Look, I’ll admit that I don’t dislike Alcaeus as much as I dislike his friend Kai. But that doesn’t equate to me ‘falling for him,’ okay?”

“Ugh, I knew it. You’ve bumped uglies already, haven’t you?” He made a face. “I knew I smelled him on you.” He groaned and snatched up my remaining shot.

I was happy to see him down it, because I didn’t think I could keep up with him for much longer and retain my wits about me.
