Apparently pretty high.

I parked my truck in the parking lot next to the diner and made my way inside.

A waitress came up to me. “Hi honey. You can take a seat anywhere an I’ll take your order in a bit.” She had a bit of a southern accent.

I took a seat in the booth behind the one that Alpha Blake and his buddies were sitting at.

His eyes never left me ever since I entered the diner.

The waitress came to my booth and handed me a menu.

“What can I get you, darling?” She asked

I skimmed through the menu. “I’ll take, the country fried stake with mash potatoes and gravy.”

I know I didn’t come here to eat, but I’m starving.

She took the menu from me as she wrote down my order. “I’ll have it ready for you in a bit.” She smiled.

“Thank you.” I thanked as she left.

I pulled out my phone to try and distract myself from Alpha Blake’s gaze on me.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw him get up and sit across from me.

I looked up and saw him smiling.

“Can I help you?” I asked.

“I’ve never seen you here before. Are you new?” He asks.

“Yeah. I just moved in a week ago.” I lied.

I can’t let anyone suspect that as soon as Robin Hood arrives, I arrive.

“Cool. Where do you live?” He asks.

“In the woods. I’ve heard there are a lot of wild dogs around here though. It’s a bit scary.” I lied.

Rogues don’t scare me.

“Don’t be. The woods are actually a nice place to live in. I live with my family in the woods. I’m Blake Lockheart by the way.” He held out his hand.

“Artemis King.”

I shook his hand. A wave of electricity shot up my arm. In a good way.

Oh no.

I’m not his mate, am I?

I hope not. That would be really awkward.

I to a look at his neck and he had my gold coin around his neck.

That made my blood boil but I kept calm.

“That’s a nice gold coin.” I fake complimented.
