TESSA

I was halfway through chopping onions when Cameron’s voice carried from the living room.

“Tessa, get me some food.”

I didn’t even look up. “In a minute.”

Before I could blink, Myrna’s voice floated in from the other side of the kitchen. “Just do it, Tessa. Cameron’s tired. Finish that up and go.”

David grunted in agreement from his spot.

My grip tightened around the knife. Tired? Cameron was tired? We had one class together today!

45 Free Coins

I dragged myself through them while Cameron leaned on every excuse to coast. But somehow, he was the one too drained to get up and walk to the kitchen?

I swallowed the words before they could escape my mouth. I didn’t have a death wish.

Wiping my hands on a towel, I turned toward the fridge, already mapping out what I could throw together fast enough so he’d stop yelling for me. Myrna and David doted on him like he was some rare gem. Meanwhile, I was more like a tool they remembered to keep sharpened because it was convenient.

The door opened.

I froze for a second–because along with the sound came a scent that stopped me cold.

Warm, clean, but edged with something wild. Familiar in a way I couldn’t place immediately. My body moved before my mind caught up, my feet carrying me toward the hallway.

The door swung open, and Zaria was there. Next to her was Ellana. And next to Ellana… was Rowan.

Damn. He really was handsome. How could a face be sculpted like that? His lips, too, were.very plump and kissable…

No. No, no, no. I shouldn’t be thinking this. That was Ellana’s boyfriend.

I shook my head slightly, hoping to clear it.

Myrna and David leapt from their spots. “Alpha,” Myrna greeted, bowing her head. David followed suit, his expression eager.

Meanwhile, I just stood there, hands pressed to my sides, unsure if I should vanish back into the kitchen or keep staring.

Ellana waved. “Hi, Tessa!”

I managed to wave back. “Hey.”

Zaria rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue. “Come on,” she muttered, grabbing her arm. With that, she led

them upstairs.

“Tessa, where’s my food?” Cameron called out again.

+5 Free Coins

1 sighed and went back to the kitchen, pouring some cereal and milk into a bowl. With that, I went to the living room where he was and set the bowl in front of him.

“Get me a drink too.”

“Get it yourself,” I mumbled, too quiet for him to really register, and walked away before he could add anything else to his royal list of demands.

My feet carried me up the stairs.

I already knew where Zaria would be–her enormous room at the far end of the hall. The door was closed, but faint voices slipped through the crack beneath it.

I glanced down at my hands. Was there a mate for me out there? Someone who would look at me like I wasn’t just here to run errands? Someone who’d see me? Love me?

If Rowan’s mate wasn’t Ellana, then whoever it was would be… what? Lucky? Unlucky? The thought twisted in my chest.
