Chapter 7: Sober.

Sitting around the dinning table for dinner, Drake nudges me in the side and I put down my fork-full of Italian pasta to give him a hard stare.

“What is it Drake?” I ask in a cold voice and he gives me a funny face, leaning to whisper. “How’s the kid you met today? Got him home safely?”

“What are you two whispering to each other?” Aunt inquires, helping little Knox with his meal. Knox is alpha Leon and Luna Zenaida’s three year-old son.

“Uh…” I trail off, not sure if I should go ahead when uncle suddenly speaks.

“Heard there’s a new kid in town. He must’ve gotten enrolled into the school, yeah?” He asks, staring directly at me and I nod stiffly.

Lowering my head and pretending to be into my meal, twirling the fork about. “Yes” I give a curt reply and hear him hum.

“What kind of kid is he? A wolf? A human? Did he move in alone?”
