Chapter Seven

I’d just settled down into my self-proclaimed spot as the movie started, having locked up Dad’s car, met my parents halfway back, exchanged goods to part ways, and found myself a neat spot overlooking the small lake, a prime position to witness Fynn’s shenanigans and the movie. Adjusting my hoodie, popcorn in my lap, sat cross legged on my blanket, ready to get my William Peterson and Benchley book turned movie on, I was two fistfuls of buttery goodness crammed into my maw when my skin prickled. Not the nice prickle but the sum bitch watchin’ me kind.

“It’s not polite to stare,” I grumbled, shoulders tensing.

“I was debating,” Eldritch said evenly. His voice came across smooth, deep. Mom claimed it had a soothing quality to it, but I’d always felt put up on my toes.

Feigning interest in the movie, I popped a few more pieces of popcorn into my mouth and chewed. “On what?” I said after I’d swallowed, then popped a few more butter dripped, popped kernels into my mouth.

“Whether to just join or seek permission,” he said quietly.

“Free country,” I said with a shrug, but I wanted him to turn around and go sit elsewhere.

“You’re rather transparent, you realize,” he said with a chuckle, walking over a short distance away to lay his jacket out and sit. He had on a nice pair of dark slacks that didn’t really go with the whole lazy river scene, a thick knit sweater hugging his lean frame. Eldritch had quiet strength. He radiated the Alpha schmooze like he breathed air.

It was no secret Alphas didn’t always get along, but some, like Eldritch, with the faux put you at ease, lackadaisical, Mr. Chill shit meshing in a strange mish mash with his I’m the boss, do as I say, worked for him, and his harmonious, bossy boots down the line wolves in his pack. It always made me feel nauseous. I’d never admitted it to anyone, never dared to voice my unease out loud, but his devil may care hitting me, followed by the I am supreme being rays, made me want to claw his face off. There. Admission done. I could go on pretending otherwise now.

“You don’t like me much,” he mused, curling his legs up to rest his forearms on his knees in a relaxed pose.

“Those words never came out of my mouth.”

“Of course they haven’t.” Arms falling, he set them behind him, leaning back against them. With an insolent look at the movie, he lifted his chin. “I’m the Alpha.”

Eyeing him, my mouth was opening to respond, but then he’d spoken again. I couldn’t help it, I burst out laughing. “You’re not full of yourself, are you?” I chortled, burying my face in the crook of my arm to save myself from the shit storm I was probably creating as we spoke.

When he didn’t sound like he was going to tear my throat out, I peeked up to find him studying me, his head tilted, eyes bright. “You’re not afraid of me at all, are you? Not even a little.
