Bad Attention

The couple finally stops kissing and they both hug me. The girl is crying and her face feels wet when she presses it against my neck, but I don’t mind. I’m very happy.

I ask them where they’re from. The guy is from the Manelik pack and the girl is from the Kallistar pack.

See? This beautiful union wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for me! Now the council won’t have any choice but to accept this as something we do constantly. They have to.

I chat with the lucky couple for a few more seconds, but then I return to my own table. And as I’m walking there, I look at every single man like a hawk, waiting for my own third mate, since the two I used to have are sons of bitches. Literally, in Asheron’s case.

And speaking of him, I make eye contact with him by accident and the way my heart pounds almost makes me trip, but I manage to save myself and look forward again, as if I don’t care about his existence.

But I totally notice that he’s sitting around two men, and honestly, I like that.
