CHAPTER ELEVEN

“I’m just saying it’s odd that there are no ‘B’ batteries,” said Frankie, smoothing her rose-gold bangs away from her face. “Don’t you think so, Casey?”

Casey nodded at the tipsy she-wolf, who was a member of the Phoenix Pack. “Oh yeah, definitely.” She put her bottle to her mouth and tipped it back. The cold beer slid down her parched throat.

She’d gone out on “girls’ nights” with her teammates, so she wasn’t new to the act of sitting at a table full of rowdy females. Normally, though, she’d be itching to leave. She wasn’t a big fan of nightclubs. They were too loud and crowded, and her mink despised the strobe lights and stench of cigarette smoke. But there were no such issues in the Velvet Lounge, so it was easy enough to relax, have fun, and get buzzed.

The girls’ night was Shaya’s idea, since the females of her pack had complained that Eli always “hogged” Casey, giving them no time with her. Only Ally had stayed at home, although that was because she’d fallen asleep on the sofa. No one had wanted to disturb her, so Shaya had simply told Marcus to drive the Seer to the club if she woke before they returned.

Eli wasn’t particularly happy about the girls’ night, so it hadn’t come as a surprise to Casey when he suddenly announced that Derren “needed” Eli to work the Beta’s security shift at the club for him. She’d simply rolled her eyes.

She wasn’t sure whose idea it was for the Phoenix Pack females to meet them there, but now they were all gathered around the VIP table, listening to Mila sing on stage while Harley played on the electric violin beside her. Most at the table were also mouthing the lyrics and doing weird hand actions, to which Roni was crossing her eyes. Sucking on a lollipop, the female enforcer looked the height of uncomfortable. Casey had come to learn that social situations weren’t Roni’s thing.

Of course, some of the Phoenix Pack males had come along to watch over their mates—and damn if they weren’t very healthy specimens. But the guys had no sooner said their hellos to Casey than their females had shooed them off to the bar, insisting on having “alone time” with the other girls. The males were not pleased about it at all.

She couldn’t really snicker at the males’ overprotective behavior, given that Eli was patrolling the perimeter of the club just so that he could keep a close watch on her.

In the past week, since she’d first told him that she’d switch to his pack, he’d been sneakily moving her things from her place to his. Small things at first, like little knickknacks and framed photos from her shelves. Then some of her clothes had gravitated to his lodge, along with a lamp and two of her plants. He’d also whined occasionally that he didn’t want to have a separate home from his mate, but she’d just stared at him until he threw up his hands and let it go.
