Chapter Sixteen: Reese
He couldnât go back to his uncle. To that town where everyone knew about his fathers, and about Reeseâs scholarship.
He couldnât face them, admit heâd failed. That heâd panicked. That maybe...
No, shit, no. He wasnât going to even think about that right now. He had enough on his plate as it was. Heâd called in a favor from a distant cousin, Ethan, and taken a job as a waiter in a town near his native home, and a room on top of the restaurant.
That was what he needed: a few weeks away from everything and everyone to set his thoughts straight. Then either heâd find the guts to return to the Academy and stay away from Tiberius, or heâd tell his uncle that he had to abandon the Academy and return home, his tail between his legs.
âWill you be okay?â Ethan asked, walking the few steps to the window of the tiny room and looking out at the street below and the buildings across. âGot everything you need?â
It was weird. Reese hadnât seen or spoken to Ethan in years. Hadnât seen him, in fact, since Reeseâs fathersâ funeral service.
His cousin was a beta, and heâd told Reese that last time that if Reese ever needed a job and a place to stay, he was welcome to ring him up. Heâd probably seen how everyone had been staring at Reese, as if heâd suddenly grown horns.
Turned traitor.
âIâll be just fine.â Reese sat on the bed, beside his duffel bag, exhausted. âThank you, Ethan. I really appreciate this.â
âNo problem.â A pause. âWill you tell me what happened? I donât mean to pry but I heard you were at Howl academy, and I donât think itâs winter break yet.â
âItâs not. I...â Reese passed a hand over his eyes. Heâd tried hard not to think about what had happened.
Maybe he shouldnât have run. Heâd felt as if someone had sucker-punched him and had to get away.
What was he doing?
âBoyfriend trouble?â Ethan asked.
Reese shook his head, but his eyes burned. He wasnât going to cry. âNo, itâs not that. I donât think Iâm good enough for the Academy, Ethan.â
âThatâs bullshit. Youâre the smartest cookie in this family. I always knew you could do it.â
âYou did?â
âSure. Now get some rest, you look beat. Tomorrow Iâll show you the ropes. Itâs a nice diner. We have our regular customers. Youâll be all right.â
âI know.â He really had to look like shit for Ethan to try and reassure him like that. It was embarrassing and sad. âYouâre a good guy,â he told his cousin, hoping Ethan could hear in his voice that he meant it. âAnd I owe you.â
âNah. Weâre family.â Ethan grinned, and looking at him, Reese thought that Ethan was a handsome guy, but heâd never hold a candle to Tiberius.
He closed his eyes, cursing inwardly. âFamily is shit. But you? Youâre great. And Iâll pay back the favor as soon as I can.â
***
Ethan had been right. The diner was a nice place, quiet, with regular customers, mostly betas and omegas.
