Contracted Girlfriend To My Hockey Mate
“Didn’t I make it clear last night? Aria is my girlfriend.”
Girlfriend. The word hangs in the air, and I swear, you could hear a pin drop on this goddamn ship.
Vanessa’s scoff cuts through the tension. “Please. You change girlfriends like underwear, Alpha Lucas.”
Oh, she’s got jokes.
Lucas doesn’t even blink. “She isn’t like the rest.” He pauses for dramatic effect. “She’s my fated mate.”
Boom. There it is. The bomb drops, and the whole table falls silent. Hell, the whole room feels like it’s frozen. I almost laugh at the look on Ethan’s face—pure rage mixed with a nice dash of oh shit, I fucked up.
