Alexander sipped his champagne and frowned at the look on Scott’s face. He followed Scott’s line of sight and sighed. Scott’s parents were shaking hands with all the important people. Evangeline’s hand tightened in his and he looked down at his beautiful date.

“What is it?” Evangeline whispered.

“It is Scott’s parents,” Alexander growled quietly.

“You are his parent, not them.” Evangeline pulled Alex towards Scott.

Making their way across the room, Alexander noted that Scott’s parents were smiling and kissing Riley and Caden’s ass. It never ceased to amaze him how cold and calculating they could be. Their reason for exiling their son was because he was gay, yet there they stood talking with two gay men at a fundraiser to support a center for teens thrown out of their homes just as Scott had been. And for what? To look good in the eyes of the community. Alexander pulled Evangeline towards Caden and Riley; he sent Caden a mental message and raised a brow when Caden turned to look at him.

Caden stiffened; he looked around the room and found Kellan talking with Wayne.

“Darling?” Caden called to Kellan. Caden turned his attention back to Scott’s parents. Kellan joined him seconds later with Wayne in tow. “Mr. and Mrs. Delange, I’d love for you to meet my husband, Kellan Fournier.” Caden couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face as Scott’s parents tried to keep the disgust off their faces. He nudged Riley in the ribs.

Riley gave him a confused look, until he saw the faces of the two people in front of him. He looked around the room and found Mateo doing shots at the bar with Sam and Troy. Riley gave a short whistle, which had most of the room turning to look at him. Mateo put his shot glass down, said something to Sam and Troy and sauntered over to his husband.

“Mateo, darling, say hello to the Delanges.”

Mateo took two seconds to process the name. Then the pack meetings came to mind. Wayne in his infinite wisdom made it a point to make sure all the packs knew each other’s stories. Wayne had always said that knowing each other’s pain brought them closer together. It applied to the humans of the pack as well. Mateo had laughed in Wayne’s face when the man had said they were going to have ‘share’ time. He wasn’t laughing two seconds later when Wayne was in wolf form, pinning him to the floor and snarling at him.

Mateo snickered and played oblivious. “As in Scott Delange? Is he your son?”

“Oh, we don’t have any children.”

Alexander cleared his throat. “You are right, Richard. When you threw Scott out for being gay, I took care of him. Scott is my son.”

Riley cocked his head to the side. “Dick, is it?”

“It’s Richard.”

“Uh huh, listen Dick,” Riley snarled. “You are in the wrong place; your money is not welcome here. I’m sure Caden and I can cover whatever you would have donated to our cause. Please leave.”

“Excuse me?” Richard spluttered.
