Chapter 15

Joshua had learned to accept who and what he was a long time ago. There wasn’t room in his life for petty things like jealousy or envy, but sometimes, in extreme circumstances, he found himself wishing he was more like the Shifters. At that particular moment, he longed to possess their ability to quickly locate prey. He’d been all over the Serenity Shores resort, and thanks to one phone forgotten on the kitchen table and another whose battery had died exactly thirty-seven minutes ago, he couldn’t find Scout or Talley anywhere. He was about to text Liam (who Joshua knew was on the other side of the county since the Alpha Male had the sense to keep his GPS-enabled phone charged and in his pocket) when he opened the door to the banquet hall.

“I’m not wearing it,” Scout’s voice bounced off the concrete walls of the coat room. “I already have a dress.”

“A dress you bought from a discount site online.” Talley was standing in front of the Alpha, her hands perched on the swell of her hips. Her eyes were narrowed and lips thinned into a line of annoyance Joshua rarely saw from the warm-natured Seer. “The top part is so small your boobs are either going burst the seam or get cut in half, and three or four people could climb into the waist with you. And don’t even get me started on the way it stops two inches above your ankle.”

Two dresses hung on the rack behind them. Even with his very limited knowledge of women’s fashion, Joshua knew which one Talley was talking about. It looked like something Angel might have produced years ago when she first started designing and sewing clothes for her Barbies. The hem was obviously uneven and half the beads decorating the bodice were hanging on broken threads.

“It has character,” Scout said.

“It has a stain on the hip,” Talley shot back.

“Mrs. Matthews really outdid herself on this one.” Neither girl startled at his abrupt entrance, which meant they’d both known he was there and had been too wrapped up in their argument to care. “This is a real work of art,” he said, skimming a finger down the tiny pearls crisscrossing the fitted bodice. “Interesting choice in color.”

There was no doubt the dove gray would suit both Scout’s unique monochromatic coloring and I-am-Alpha-hear-me-howl personality. Talley’s mother could See colors and patterns, allowing her to make clothes that defied description. The skill had made her into one of the most sought-after consume designers in the world. It was impossible to watch a winter Olympics without seeing her creations displayed by ice princesses from across the globe. Most people would have killed to have a wedding dress made by Mrs. Matthews, but Scout was not most people.

Scout’s eyes narrowed on the dress as if it was shouting insults at her instead of innocuously sitting on the rack. “I will not wear a dress made by that woman.”

“That woman is my mother,” Talley reminded her not-so-gently.
