Maybe I just wasn’t used to someone like him being so... human.
Not a mystery or a myth. Just a man with parents who arranged dates and a pack waiting for a Luna.
“You okay?” Mike asked.
“Hm? Oh. Yeah.” | smiled. “I just thought someone like him
would be immune to things like blind dates.””
“Even the mighty Alexander can’t dodge Mama's wrath.”
“I guess not.” | laughed. “Anyways, | wish him a good luck. | hope he finds someone he can actually fall in love
with!”
Suddenly, | heard a familiar voice.
“I didn’t expect you to still be here,” cAlexander's voice from behind us, startling bothand Mike in the
kitchen.
| turned quickly, almost dropping the spoon in my hand. He had just walked in from the hallway, dressed in a
crisp black suit, his cufflinks catching the warm kitchen light. There was no coat, no briefcase, just his signature
detached expression-except, this time, there was a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes.
“Oh, welcback,” | said, awkwardly wiping my hands on the kitchen towel. “We were just... talking about the
weather.”
Alexander raised an eyebrow. “The weather, huh?” His eyes shifted briefly to Mike, who looked like he was trying
to
disappear into the rice cooker.
| didn’t want him to know we were talking about his blind date.
Too late.

“You two seem to be very invested in my romantic future.” he added, voice cool with a sarcastic edge. “Maybe
next tyou can help my parents pick the girl too.”
| opened my mouth to respond, but he waved his hand lightly.
as if dismissing the entire situation.
“Don’t worry,” he continued, tugging slightly at his cuff. “I
wouldn't want to miss ‘the one! Wouldn't want to let a once-in-
a-lifetblind date passby.”
With that, he turned and walked back down the hallway, his
footsteps slow and deliberate. | stood frozen by the counter, a
strange mix of irritation and embarrassment tightening in my
chest.
Mike, still hovering near the sink, gavea look. “That wasn’t
about you,” he said after a pause, “even if it felt like it.”
| sighed, finally sinking into the nearest kitchen chair. “No?
Because it definitely felt like it.”
“He doesn’t like being talked about when he’s not there. That's
all,” Mike offered gently. “And if it makes you feel better-he never takes these dates seriously. Last the
walked out
halfway through.”
That actually did makefeel better, though | refused to let it
show. | just nodded.
Later that evening, my phone buzzed. Unknown number.
| hesitated, then picked up.
“Olivia,” ca deep voice.
“Who's this?” | asked cautiously.
“lI am Bob Hawthrone.”
“Hello, Alpha Bob. How are you?” He'd never calledsince he
was always busy on his overseas business.
“I'am good. | hope I'm not interrupting.”
“No, not at all,” | said, even though I kind of hoped he was.
“I'll get straight to the point,” he
continued. "Id likey Pkt core he

htomorrow night. You and Ethan need to have a proper
conversation.”
My throat tightened, but | didn’t speak. He was back?
“This situation between you two has gone on long enough.
Whatever happened... It needs to be settled face to face. You
owe yourselves that much.”

| bit down on my lip, unsure if | wanted to laugh or scream.
“Mr. Hawthrone, | don’t owe Ethan anything. He-"”

He paused, letting his words land. “Avoidance never helps,
