Page 141 of The Packaged Deal

Kandi elbows Sven in the ribs, but he just captures the back of her head and kisses her so passionately that I think the three of us forget where we are.

“Enough! I’ll have to kill people if you keep going.” Adrian adjusts his jacket and glares at the two alpha twins who walk past.

“Who are they?” I ask curiously.

“Part of Pack Vore, they are good, solid alphas, but I don’t want them here right now. I want to get you three out of here.”

“Ah, there you are!”

“Fuck sake.”

I choke on a laugh as Adrian forces a very obviously insincere smile and holds a hand out to Jet Knight. The auburn-haired alpha’s smile slips.

“Sorry, was I interrupting?”

“It’s okay, we can’t fuck on the dance floor,” I say with a smile.

I find myself the focus of four pairs of eyes and reach out to grab a glass of wine from the server.

“Well, uh. Glad to be of service?” Jet scratches his head and glances around. “To be fair, if you did, it would be highly entertaining and possibly steal the show.”

Sven, Kandi, and Adrian growl.

Jet laughs and holds up his hands. “Okay, okay. No fucking on the dance floor. I’ve been instructed to tell you to come to the manor in a few weeks. We’re having a thing.”

“What is a thing?” I ask, biting my lip to hide my amusement as I tease the alpha.

“It’s a gathering of all the packs we’re friends with.”

“Oh!” I say, suddenly interested. “Is Silver going?”

Jet hesitates.

“Silver’s going!” I say happily. “That’s awesome, thanks, Jet.”

“I didn’t say-”

“Yes, you did,” I growl at him, narrowing my eyes in clear warning.

He peers at me. “Well, look at that. So, I did. I’m just going to go before I agree to give you a kidney.”

I snort a laugh and wiggle my fingers as the alpha flees.

Adrian wraps his arms around me and drags me close. “I hate these parties now more since we met.”

“Oh, why is that?”

“Look at them all,” Adrian glowers. “Vultures, trying to get close to talk to you. They used to fear me. Used to think you were a weird little omega.”

“They still fear you, baby,” I say, patting his hand. “It's just that they are more fascinated with me and Kandi now.”

Kandi laughs. “This is true. You’re packed up with some very popular female mates.”

“Can’t you just offend a couple of them?” Adrian asks Kandi in what sounds perilously close to a whine.

“It’s our anniversary tonight,” Kandi says. “One year since Sven bit our omega and made us a pack. We need to stay for an hour, and then we can go do the thing.”

I jerk my head towards the beta. “What thing?”
