“Thank you, Jett.” He smiled and winked again.
“Any time, and don’t forget what I said.” I was a little confused at first then I remembered. He was the good looking one. I laughed. And nodded.
“Hey, what does that mean… secrets at breakfast.” Ranger prodded his older brother but Jett just teased him. Lyell seemed to be the odd brother out here.
“I’m off, have a great day Ada, Lexi.” Nash stood and took his bowl and glass into the kitchen while Ranger just kept on chatting about movies. I felt a bit better, like he was having a real conversation with me. Making me feel welcome here in his house.
“Oh, I like watching all things, I love romance movies and I watch a lot of documentaries. About anything and everything. I watched one last week about snails, did you know that they are hermaphrodites, so they both have male and female parts, they both actually insert their penises into each other…” Oh god, what was with me and snails and more so, snails fucking. I’m done.
“Ah, so Lyell. You like to read a lot?” Trying to change the subject, his eyes widened at the fact I just asked him this question only moments ago. He didn’t talk. Maybe he didn’t like me.
“Oh, Lyell reads a lot, he has given me some books to read actually.” Lexi offered and I started eating more of my breakfast, before I said something else that was stupid. There were a lot of good-looking guys in this room, and I was single straight woman who knew what she liked.
Would Lexi being my friend, that and the fact she was dating two of them… would that mean I hang out here more? If I spent time with them, would they want to get to know me more? Maybe I will see Saint more. Ugh, if only she was wanting Maverick, not Ranger, that would have worked out better for me. Then Saint would be around more. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for Saint to ask me on date, or for him to come give me some flowers and tell me I was beautiful. And maybe let me run my fingers through his now short hair… kiss me. And oh god they were all looking at me.
I cleared my throat. “I better go home.”

I was excitedwhen I heard that Ranger had made a move towards Lexi Turner. The new girl. I actually liked the guy that came too, Rafferty seemed cool. Ranger wasn’t impressed but he seemed to have no issues sharing her with him. I could tell she liked them both, hell I think she liked Maverick too, but I could have been wrong.
I wasn’t supposed to smell her arousal, well not in that way. She smelled like a mate to everyone. Although I thought she just smelt nice to be honest. I wanted to be nice to her, because she would be mated to Callum one day, making her my sister-in-law since Ranger and Callum were packmates. But if I was being honest, she deserved better than Callum.
“Hey, you all treat Lexi right, okay?” Ranger growled lowly to us all. It was Monday lunch time and we were sitting in the cafeteria at our regular table. Callum grumbled something and he didn’t seem happy. Maybe he didn’t want her as his mate? That would be good, he was turning more and more into an asshole these days. I could barely stand to be around him.
I looked over and saw Lexi standing with Rafferty and the smaller blonde girl that was at the Lovell party. I’d tried to talk to her but she kind of ran away from me. She was small compared to my height and size. So, I didn’t blame her from wanting to run. Most girls did.
“Oh, and her friend Ada, she is important to her so be nice.” We all nodded, Luca—my best friend— grumbled something but I tried to ignore him. What was his issue. Ada was pretty and nice. When they came over I moved away from Luca, offering Ada a seat beside me.
“Hi, I’m Noah.” I nodded to her as she sat down. Wow she was even smaller than I remembered. She smiled at me, this dazzling smile that had my insides flipping around.
“I’m Ada, nice to meet you, Noah.”
Luca introduced himself and started eating, and I could tell she was nervous. Hell, I didn’t need to smell that on her, I could see she was.
“Ada, do you live in Port Willow?” she shook her head as she took a bite of her wrap.
“Watson.” She mumbled around the mouthful and I wanted to chuckle. She wasn’t like regular girls. They were always funny about eating in front of guys I had noticed. Not Ada though.
“Nice, you live with your family? Brothers? Sisters?” She took a sip of water and I did the same with my water.
“Yes, I live with my parents and my sister who is away at college now. But I did live with her for the last eighteen years. It’s strange now that she is gone, it’s quiet now at my house. Which is nice, but you can feel lonely too. You know what I mean?”
I nodded, I knew what she meant, even though I had two brothers. Callum didn’t like me most the time and Elijah was always out working for the pack. When he was home, he just did his own thing. I was close to my parents, Mom was amazing and all my fathers were too. Not that I was about to tell her I had four fathers.
That was usually met by stares and questions I would prefer not answer. So, I agreed and told her how my brothers just did their own things and I spent a lot of time home alone. Which was true, and I was grateful for time alone, nothing like having your entire family around to hear you in the shower jerking off. I’d heard my brothers a lot before I got to the stage I wanted to do it. The trouble being the baby of the family.
I could sense that Olivia girl coming over to flirt with Ranger, like she did every day. I didn’t like her, she was rude and I really didn’t see why he would go after her. Lexi was a much better option. I thought about Ada here beside me, she smelled sweet, like strawberries. And she was nice. She was a million times better than Olivia. Ranger should never have been with her.
“Do you like football?” I asked. I wished I could play for the school team, but the best I could do was play with the other shifters in Pack Kiba. It was a real giveaway to play as a shifter on a real team. It sucked. Although playing with the pack was always fun, especially now I was bigger they’d moved me up to play with the older guys. Luca wasn’t large like me, so he didn’t come.
“Go Timberwolves.” She pumped her little fist in the air and giggled. “I don’t know much about football; I don’t watch it to be honest or go to the games.” I nodded, I got that, some things weren’t for anyone, but this girl. She was so tiny and really pretty, but did she say she was eighteen before?
I could feel my wolf stirring… I could feel more than that. She was getting me worked up a little and I hadn’t had felt this type of attraction before. She started chatting more and I nodded, watching her lips move and wondering how many others had got to taste those lips. I wanted to taste them, I…oh crap.
The bell rang and she left, along with everyone else. I took an extra few minutes to cool myself down before going to class. She had only talked to me, but her smile when she looked at me, her laughter at my bad jokes and the way she smelled amazing, like strawberries and happiness had my lower half all kinds of worked up.
