The Alpha's Secret
a middle-aged human asks me.
“Yes,” I reply.
“He looks much older than you.”
“He is a little,” I admit, “but not by much.”
“You are what? Fifteen? And he’s easily in his thirties.”
“I’m twenty,” I lie. ‘He’s twenty-eight.”
All I know about humans is what I’ve learned in books, from the internet, and on the television. I know they frown on relationships with a big age gap. It’s not that strange in our world, but it rubs the humans the wrong way. and I have to choose my words very carefully.
