“So, I look to see if Ass put his number in, and no, he hasn’t. He was just being a caveman and trying to sabotage my possible future of a white picket fence and two point five kids, all because he has some kind of grudge against H. And don’t get me started with Puppy Dog Eyes…”
I finally took a deep breath; I hadn’t stopped talking. Lexi just looked at me with the same expression I was feeling. Boys, right? Like come on, what was with assholes? I drank the rest of my coffee as I thought about it. Was it a Kiba thing? Maybe it was, because that’s what happened with Destiny. She didn’t go to Kiba parties because Kiara was with Rawlins guys. I let out a huff. This was bullshit.
“Is it because you’re with Pack Kiba, Lexi? And like, ‘cause I know… you know. Am I supposed to not, like, date people from other packs? Because I don’t live in Kiba, and I know that rule applies if you live in the town. But to be honest, the whole ‘you can't date her because she is from Kiba’ is bullshit. What if your soulmate lived in Rawlins? That's some bullshit right there, to deny her the chance at love because she happens to live in Kiba.”
I just let that hang in the air for Maverick to hear. I was mad now, because that was the truth. Like, look what happened to Nina Harmon when she had to move over the whole Rawlins and dating someone from Kiba. Like, come on. They had to realize this was bullshit by now.
Maverick was on his phone still, one of his eyebrows was cocked high as he had listened to me, but now he was texting…someone.
“Who are you texting?” I reached over to take his phone. He better not tell Saint I was talking about him. That breaks all of girl code chat. And he was in girl chat now so the code applied to him.
How did my life get so…complicated.
