My best friend gives me his signature crooked smile. Before Ethan and Odis have a chance to get up, Leo passes Gabe and dropped down opposite me with a taunting grin. I watched his facial features as he bowed his head slightly in greeting. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about him. We’d have to get along but I was still suspicious. Gabe came to a stop by Ethan’s chair.

“Good morning, Alpha,” Gabe said in greeting. Ethan got to his feet, leaned down, and kissed me goodbye before facing Gabe.

“Morning, Gabe.”

“Leaving so soon?” Gabe asked.

“Yes, I’d stay longer but works calling,” Ethan said.

“I was wondering if it was me,” Gabe teased.

“No,” Ethan said, his lips twitched with amusement, “Have to get back to work sooner or later.”

“I hear that,” Gabe said.

“I’ll see you later,” Ethan said to me. He nodded to Odis before heading out the door.
