“Oh, he did. Remember the cheating mate my friend has? That’s him.”
Both of them was stunned before Seth burst laughing and Aiden smirked a bit.
Okay, what’s wrong?
“What?” I’m so curious. Why are they happy about it? That jerk Alpha cheated on my best friend!
Aiden was the one to answer.
“Nothing. I’ll ask Jacob to bring your friend.” he then pressed his lips on my temple before turning away and nodding at Seth. “We’ll be back for lunch.”
“Cook something edible, Ash!” Seth teased.
I flushed. I can cook now!
“Can’t promise!” I shouted back since they’re far away.
Ava giggled when they are gone. We decided to watch a film and Ava promised to help me cook something. I can cook but I’m not that good.
Oh, it’s a relief that she’s helping me. I heard from Setg that she can be a chef by her cooking.

Lunch came fast and we already prepared the foods before Aiden, Nick and Seth arrived.
“Smells good!” Nick said as he sat on a barstool.
“Guess what Nick did.” Seth said with a goofy grin. Nick scoffed but didn’t say a word.
My mood blossomed by the thought that Nick did something foolish again.
Aiden sat beside me and started placing foods on his plate. Oh, my. My mate looks famished. That’s a feast on his plate!
“What is it?” Ava asked, seating beside Seth with wide grin.
“Someone got a beer fountain in the making.” he laughed and we chuckled when Nick’s face turned red but he ignored us as he stuffed his mouth with food.
“I can’t believe you.” I said, laughing. He really did made the beer fountain possible!
Oh, God.
He just shrugged at me and grinned after, his mouth is still filled with food.
“So, Ash, I heard your friend is Alpha Jacob’s mate?” Nick asked after swallowing a huge bite.
I nodded. “Yeah.”
“Is she the friend we talked about? The one having a cheater mate?” Another nod from me. “Wow. I thought we’re talking about Aiden back then.”
Aiden growled and snap a sharp look at Nick. His friend just laughed hard. I smiled upon remembering what had happened before.
“Seth, do me a favor and shove anything on his mouth.” Aiden ordered and I’m not sure if he’s kidding because of his chilling, serious face.
We laughed and Aiden shook his head when Nick started eating a mouthful.
“A wolf cheats? Can that happen?” Ava asked hesitantly.
Uh-oh. I forgot about Ava. She’s not laughing like the rest of us and I figured she’s alarmed by the topic. It’s rare to happen and it’s only possible for Alpha’s to cheat since they are the ones who can control their wolf a hundred percent. Well, Ava didn’t knew that.
“Yes.” As usual, the innocent Nick.
Seth rolled his eyes and put his arm on Ava’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry, babe. I’m not an Alpha. Only those with complete control of their wolves can divert their interest and you’ve already swept me off my feet.” he grinned.
Aw! Seth is so good with his words. I started to wonder what will I feel if Aiden will speak to me that way.
Or no, I want him to stay the way he is. Ugh. My man is of few words but it sure hits hard. On my core.
A scoff from Nick was heard in the table.
“Too cheesy, Gamma.” he teased.
“Ohh! Don’t worry, my friend. You’ll find yours. I guess.” Seth laughed after teasing him. Aiden chuckled, too as he continues eating.
I turned to Aiden while Seth and Nick continued to argue about the mate Nick haven’t had.
“Did you talk with Alpha Jacob? Will he bring her?” I asked.
He frowned and sipped on his water before looking at my eyes, intensely.
“Just call him ‘Jacob’, you’re my Luna. Technically, you’re equal with an Alpha.” I bit my lip and nodded slowly which earned a satisfied smile from him. “I did talked to him and yes, he said he will bring her but he insist on keeping the girl inside a room.” he shrugged.
I frowned. Did I hear him right?
“I don’t get it.” I confessed.
“Me neither.”
I sighed. Keeping Lucy inside a room? I can’t think of anything which that would mean aside from what Aiden did to me.
“Is he locking her up? He can’t do that to Luce!”
I hated that Jacob jerk even more! How could he say that?
“I’m not sure. Maybe you can ask her when they arrive.”
I sighed in defeat. If ever that Jacob will try and lock her, I’ll make sure that I’ll make a way for her! He can’t treat her like some animal that needed to be caged! She’s his mate!
“Luce? Is that your friend’s name?” Nick interrupted my thoughts and I cleared my throat, swelling the wrath building inside me.
“Yeah. She also goes for Lucy or Lucianna.”
He nodded.
“Well, Jacob can be strict but if he is keeping her in, I don’t think he’ll shut her without any reason.” Aiden professed.
He had a point though I still believe with a good talk. Lucy is kind, feisty but with a heart. Plus, she loved the idea of having a mate. I’m sure she won’t do anything bad. Actually, its the opposite. That Jacob js the one who made her live a hell.
