It’s hard to say no to that invitation. I’d never pass up a chance to bury my cock between her thick thighs.

“Yeah, I’m in the northeastern cabin now. I’ll come get you after this dinner.” I tell her.

Her smile is everything. I watch her ass shake as she walks off.

“Fuck,” I growl. “I don’t understand why you aren’t into that woman. She’d make a perfect mate.” I say out loud to my wolf.

“Don’t like her,”he grumbles.“Not my mate.”

Shaking my head, I refuse to get into a discussion with him about mates. Instead, I continue my trek to Chayton’s home.

I spot my Alpha pacing the porch when I walk up. His head swings in my direction.

“What took you so long?” he snaps when he sees me.

I chuckle. “Don’t tell me two female leeches have you afraid to go into your own home, Alpha.”

Chayton growls. “Of course not. I just can’t stand to be around them.”

Stepping up on the porch, I laugh. “Imagine having to live across from them.”

He shakes his head. “Despite how hard it is for me, I’ve never seen Elizabeth so happy. And after all the hell Vilkas and Kamyra gave her, she deserves her happiness.”

Chayton still feels a little guilty about Liz losing her home and being almost burned alive. If he can give her this little false sense of happiness, he will do it. Even though he has plans to ruin thisillusion for her. The faster we can show Luna what vampires are really like, the better.

“Come on,” Chayton says, turning to head inside. “Dinner is almost ready.”

I follow my Alpha inside his home. As soon as I walk in, Luna’s laughter greets me. I’ve heard her laugh many times, but I must admit, this one has a little more lightness to it. The laughter that follows hers causes me to stop in my tracks. My wolf stands at attention in my head. I wouldn’t say the laughter was anything special. It wasn’t nearly as light as Luna’s, but it was different. It had a bit of raspiness to it. I guess it caught me off guard.

“Oh, babe, I was just coming to get you,” Liz says walking out of the kitchen with a large serving tray in her hands. She’d taken the braids out a few days ago and went to get it done. Now, her hair is straight and hangs to her shoulders.

Standing behind her was the oldest leech. Today, she pulled her wild curls back into a low ponytail, accentuating her sharp features. The moment she sees me, the small smile on her face falls.

Good.

“Oh, Enzo. I didn’t know you were stopping by,” Luna says with a smile. “Do you want to stay for dinner? I made a big spread.”

If I thought the sight of the leech seeing me made her smile fall, hearing Luna ask me to stay causes her plump lips to turn down.

With a huge grin and a wink, I answer. “Luna, I’d love to stay.”

Just knowing my presence causes the parasite to be unhappy makes this dinner worth it.

“Liz, the rolls are done,” the youngest vamp says coming out of the kitchen. The youngest has an almost reddish-brown complexion. Her rounded eyes and soft features belay her youth.

Her brown eyes land on me and then quickly swing over to her older sister. She clears her throat. If I weren’t paying such close attention, I would have missed how the gesture immediately changes the oldest. Her face slides to neutral. It’s almost as if she’d taken everything she was feeling and tossed it away. Looking at her now, you’d never know how annoyed she was seconds ago. Interesting.

“That’s great, Marley. I’ll grab them. You guys can sit down.”

“No,” the oldest vamp says, grabbing Liz’s arm before she could walk away. Two growls echo through the home. I look over to a tense Chayton, who is mirroring my stance.

Looking back at the vamp, I catch her rolling her eyes. Yet, she releases Liz’s arm.

“I’ll grab the rolls. You sit. You’ve done enough.”

“Oh, thank you,” Liz says.

The oldest vamp walks back into the kitchen, along with the youngest. Luna turns to us and frowns.
