Enola smiled at Alice and knocked back a shot of whiskey. Peer pressure was a bitch, but she had to admit that she was having a ball. Admittedly, she had gotten a bit jealous when the gorgeous red-head had walked up to them and hugged Gideon. But when she hugged Enola with the same enthusiasm, she became a bit more comfortable. During the course of the evening, Enola realized that Gideon and Alice were nothing more than really good friends.

She hoped, anyway.

Enola was amazed at how territorial she was over a man she barely knew, but he was the one that had said she was his mate. And he did say that wolves mated for life. One couldn’t get more territorial than that.

“I like you, Nola Darling,” Alice chuckled.

Enola shook her head and turned to Gabriel. He’d joined them after all.

“See what you started?” she asked with narrowed eyes.

Alice patted Gideon on the shoulder and slapped Enola’s behind. “I love y’all, but it’s time for me to close this joint down for the night. I’ll be back. Don’t go anywhere. I’m gonna walk back to Henrietta’s with y’all.”

Gideon grabbed Alice’s wrist as she was walking away. “You don’t have to do that, Alice. We’ll be fine.”

Alice smiled and said, “I know. I’m gonna see to it.”

Enola turned to Gabriel, mainly because Gideon seemed a bit uncomfortable with the attention.

“He should be used to it by now,” Gabriel muttered before walking away with Alice.

Gideon sat back against the cushioned sofa in the VIP section. Enola placed her hand over his and asked, “You hate that don’t you?”

“I do,” he responded with a nod.

“Why are you the alpha?’

“I’m the strongest.” His response was blunt, but absent of arrogance.

“I think I know how you feel. My grandmother keeps telling me that I’m the strongest, most powerful Voodoo queen in the world. That shit don’t bring me joy.”

Gideon pulled her closer and pushed his lips to hers. The look he gave her was sweet and sympathetic. “Darlin’, no one wants the burden of power, but those of us that have it, have a responsibility.”

“Gideon, I’m realizing that, the hard way. So, maybe you should just accept the fact that your pack will do whatever is necessary to keep you safe.”

Gideon smiled and kissed Enola’s nose. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the meantime, we gotta wait on this bitch to close this bar.”

Enola recoiled, but before she could say a word about his language, Gideon said, in his defense, “Bitch is different in my world. Remember?”
