“It’s not that. I know he would. But don’t pressure her and make her feel like she has to stay.” Conner then lifted his gaze up to me. “l want you to stay because you choose Sion. He deserves to be in a loving relationship.. I want him to have that. He’s been through so much…”
I looked up at Logan and Conner. Their eyes had the same sadness that Sion’s had earlier. I needed to reassure them that I had no intention of playing with their alpha’s heart. “I won’t lead him on.. l just need some time. Everything has happened so fast, and I need a chance for the dust to settle so I can get my bearings.” One of the things I needed to find out was what the other pack members were like.
“So..” I looked up at Logan as he finished his last bite of pancake. “You ready to show me around?” If this pack isn’t horrible… then maybe… maybe this can really be my new home. I hated to admit it and I wouldn’t out loud.. not yet.. but I was falling for Sion already. I missed him… his face, his warmth, his touch, and the way his eyes looked at me. It hadn’t even been an hour, but I felt deprived of him. This had to mean something.. right?
Okay, Clover focus! Today we analyze the pack. I needed to concentrate on that. I followed Logan and Conner to the door. Whether I stay or not was probably going to be decided today. Even if l was just internally making that decision.
It was all up to the Chance pack now.
I watched Conner walk across the paved road to a path that led into the woods. I wanted to see their training area but that was lower on my list.
I glanced around at the many houses lined up. It looked like one of those housing developments Every house was very similar with well-kept yards. Farther down the road they had a business area where the pack members could go shopping without leaving the territory. I had to admit that it looked like a well-run operation.
“Want some coffee before we explore?” Logan asked and I glanced up at him. Logan’s blonde hair swayed in the breeze as a few strands waved over his brown eyes. It was relaxing being around Logan. He had a fun aura that didn’t make me feel uptight.
“What I really want is an iced peppermint mocha…” I watched him grin and my eyes widened. “You have a place that can make those?”
“Yes, and I’m betting it will be better than anything you have ever tasted.”
Okay, if they made great peppermint mochas, it might be worth staying, even if it is hell. I loved them that much. I could sell my soul for those. I followed him in anticipation until we arrived at a cute little café. It had little circular tables outside and the door was slightly propped open. There were a couple of ladies sitting down outside and a few inside waiting in line.
“Take a seat.. I’m about to rock your world.” Logan said with a broad grin. I chuckled and walked over to take a seat while he disappeared inside. I looked out at the green neighborhoods. It was very peaceful here. I could hear children laughing and yelling somewhere in the distance. I wondered what type of mischief they were getting into.
“How did things go with Julia? Did she like her mate prospect?”
“No, but I don’t think anyone can measure up to Alpha Sion. You know she has had her eyes on him for years.”
“She needs to give that up. Everyone in the pack can see Bree is interested in Sion. She is a beautiful, accomplished young woman. He has been holding out for his fated mate, but eventually, he will have to take a mate. If he has to choose from here, it will be her.”
“I disagree. I think Bree is all that you said, but Alpha Sion doesn’t look her way. It is strictly business with her.”
“It is for now, but that’s because she is a professional.
Trust me… she will be who he chooses.”
Yes, I was eavesdropping on their conversation. The two women sitting at the other table spoke loud enough that I could easily hear them. I chewed on my inner l!p as I continued to listen in on their private conversation.
“He doesn’t look at her with interest.”
“Who does he look at with interest? But you can’t tell me there isn’t anyone he is interested in. A young virile alpha male.. not a chance.”
“l just want him to be happy. After he lost both of his parents, he lost a part of himself.”
“That’s all we all want.”
“One amazing iced peppermint mocha.” A hand sits a drink down in front of my face and I look up to see Logan with stars in his eyes. He was like a puppy wagging his tail waiting for me to try the drink.
I smiled as I pulled the drink closer. I grasped it in my fingers and sipped on the straw. Oh my amazing heavenly goodness. I looked up at him in shock as a wide grin spread over his face. He nodded his head and patted my shoulder.
“Welcome to heaven,” Logan teased with a wink.
“Oh Logan, who is your new friend?” One of the ladies at the other table asked.
Logan smiled and shrugged. “I have no idea.” He then laughed and nodded his head at me. “This is Clover, she is here as the alpha’s personal masseuse. She is also an amazing cook and I don’t think we will ever let her go. Not if our alpha has anything to say about it.” He winked at the ladies and helped me to my feet.
“Later.” I followed him as he led me away. He looked at mine and grinned. “They like to flap their gums but don’t pay them any mind. There is nothing between Bree and Sion. Never was and never will be. Sion..” He glanced around and lowered his head to mine. “He doesn’t like her.. at all… not even as a person. He only keeps her around because of his father, but you didn’t hear this from me.” He cleared his throat and straightened up.
He wasn’t telling me anything I didn’t know. It was obvious how Sion treated Dr. Sinister that he wasn’t remotely interested.
“Logan, is that your girlfriend?” I heard an older woman ask from her porch.
Logan laughed and shook his head. “No, but I am keeping her safe just the same.”
“Such a good boy.”
“We have a pretty friendly pack here. There are always a few bad eggs but that isn’t the majority.” Logan smirked as he listened to me finishing my drink. “Told you.. amaaaaaazing.”
