Page 36 of His Sunshine Baby

“Yeah, I guess he wouldn’t like you bedding one of them!”

I roll my eyes. Why are we even having this argument?

“Danny, I get it, it’s bad, okay? I did it once, and I’m not going to do it again! I can’t say 'no' to the Alpha, but I can just be there and do nothing!”

“Girl, you better not do anything and be as cold as ice to him! I know this kind of guy, Elena, he’ll just use you and throw you out the window when he’s bored. You don’t need that kind of shit!”

“For the last time, Danny, I get it! Okay?”

He’s still glaring at me, and I get why he’s so anxious and annoyed about all this, but still! I put a hand on my waist, trying to change subjects instead.

“Where is Bobo?”

His face suddenly shifts from anger to surprise. This time, he crosses his arms and avoids my eyes, looking a bit unsure.

“He went back.”

“But you’ll see him again, won’t you?”

“No.”

What? Is he kidding me?

“Danny!”

“He belongs to the Blood Moon, Elena! And he’s a beta, too! And guess what? He’s not even gay to begin with!”

“Wait… What?”

Well, that’s new. I stare at Daniel, waiting for more. But my best friend is obviously very uncomfortable with the subject, looking everywhere but my direction. This time I’m the one doing the questioning, for a change.

“Danny, what do you mean?”

“He told me this morning. He had never been with a man before. He only dated girls. You know how those kinds of things end, Elena.”

“He is bisexual, so what? This won’t necessarily end like you think, Danny. Bobo looked like he was very into you. I don’t think this was just a test, or that he’ll change his mind like that.”

“It’s not even a question of sexuality, Elena! This kind of guy ends up with a girl, two or three kids, and a pretty house with a white fence!”

What the heck with the white fence? He’s being stupidly stubborn right now! Bobo looked like the perfect gentleman, and super in love with him too!

“Stop being such a chicken, Danny! I know you’ve had your bad experiences, okay? But this is no reason to give up on a guy like Bobo!”

“Elena, he’s not even in the right pack, to begin with! It’s the freakin’ Blood Moon we’re talking about! And he’s a beta, too! It’s not like he can drop everything to come and cuddle with a nobody from the Opal Moon like me!”

“You know what, I’m done with your excuses! He is the cutest, nicest guy you’ve met so far. You are just finding excuses not to try it out with him! You don’t want me with Black because the guy is not serious. I’ve got my emotional baggage and all, I get that! But you are a moron for not giving Boyan a chance, I tell you!”

“Stop dreaming, Elena! This is the Blood Moon we’re talking about, what more do you need to know? The King’s closest people!”

But before he can finish his sentence, Levi suddenly opens the door. Oh, crap, did he hear us? Daniel’s older brother looks at both of us with an angry face.

“If you don’t want Mom to hear about your passionate sex lives, I would strongly suggest you tone it down. Then you can explain to me what the hell is wrong with you two!”

Chapter 6

I just can’t stop playing with my hair, so restless. I’m anxious beyond words, yet I have no idea why exactly. This is stupid. Levi is eyeing me intensely from across the room, but I try my best to ignore him.

It’s Friday, the big day, and Moon Goddess, everyone is on edge. About a dozen people are standing in the room, waiting. Clark is talking to his Beta, Isabel, and to a couple of their lieutenants. The rest of us are standing around with nothing to do.
