#Chapter 5 – The Trouble
Karl
Tiffany smiles, gazing across at Abby, who seems frozen in her chair behind the counter. I look
between them for a moment, and it’s easy to imagine that Abby is drawing all kinds of conclusions
about what Tiffany, and I are to each other.
I only came to the capital for the Alpha party, and without a Luna, I decided I should invite my cousin
Tiffany to come along. She recently returned from eight years of studying abroad, and I figured it would
be a good way for us to catch up.
I don’t get a lot of free time, and I couldn’t exactly show up at the party without a suitable female
companion. It seemed like a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Although, I’m beginning to regret letting her blackmail me into this particular outing. After eight years
apart, I forgot how strong-willed my cousin can be. When Tiffany wants something, she tends to get it. I
tried explaining that I’m way too busy to go traipsing around to different food joints, but she wasn’t
having it.

“And clearly sending someone else to do it for you didn’t work.”
“I’m too busy.”
She frowned. “If you want me to come to this party with you, then you’d better get up and come to this
restaurant with me.”
“I don’t even want to go to this party,” I grumbled. It wasn’t like I had ample time to attend social
engagements. The time would have been better spent working for the pack.
She rolled her eyes. “Karl, you need to make an appearance, and you need me on your arm since you
insist on not finding another Luna. Now get up. I don’t want to get there too late.”
So here we are, using my status to get us a decent spot for the party. I’m just hoping we get this over
with soon, so I can get back to work. I’m in no mood to drag this night out any longer than it needs to
be.
Since my divorce, I haven’t eaten gourmet food of any kind. That was more Abby’s thing than mine. If it
were up to me, I’d be perfectly fine just having my supplements. Other than a few business banquets,
where I eat small bites of food out of politeness, I haven’t really made the effort to eat a fancy meal. I
don’t have the time, and I don’t care much for the rituals of it.
When Tiffany decided I should make the appointment in person, I didn’t have the will to argue with her
about it. She’s dead set on booking the best restaurant in town for the Alpha party, and this place
seems to be her top choice. I don’t really know anything about food, so I’m mostly just here to tag along
and ‘be my Alpha self,’ as she put it. I just wasn’t expecting to walk in and see Abby.
Tiffany and Abby never met, and it’s clear that neither one of them knows who the other is. We’ve been
broken up for three years, and she looks completely different from the last time I saw her. Her hair is
blonde again for one, and she’s filled out a little. I can’t help but think about how good her curves
looked in that black dress the other night.
As her wide blue eyes meet mine, my wolf me ntally curses me. He wants Abby, and he’s pis sed at me
for leaving her. This isn’t the first time he’s argued with me about it but seeing her again has definitely
brought it to the forefront of both our minds.
Tiffany steps forward to talk to Abby, and I take the moment to respond to my wolf. I don’t know why

with her for no reason.
She cheated on me with Justin, my gardener. I was convinced by the evidence.
I’ve said it a million times, I say to my wolf. Cheating is my deal breaker, and the evidence is
overwhelming. We’ll never get back together.
She said she hasn’t had any contact with Justin, he argues. Maybe she’s telling the truth, and you
suspect the wrong person!
While I was working my as s off for the pack, my wife was screwing my gardener! I growl. It may be
common, but I can’t forgive it. I clench my fists against his flare of anger. I can’t believe that even after
all this time, he’s still skeptical. The evidence was overwhelming.
You didn’t see it with your own eyes, my wolf snarls back. She never admitted it.
You mean all that evidence, all the photos of intimate feedings, the sneak peek of the kiss, the pair of
lace panties I gave her that showed up in the weed pile, and the fact that Justin disappeared
immediately after Abby left, all of that wasn’t convincing enough?
Just remembering all the evidence makes the hurt and anger rise to the surface. I had more than just
