Female Friend

"Hey, babe!" I felt Caleb's arm around my shoulder. He leaned in and gave me a side hug.

I caught another whiff of that strong smell again. Did he change his perfume? But why do I find it somewhat familiar?

"When did you come downstairs?"

"Huh?" I looked up at him. "Oh! Umm… About 10 minutes ago, I think. Finally done with today's work?"

Caleb replied as he walked towards the head of the table. "Yes! I had to submit some paperwork to the alpha, so I got a little busy. Sorry, if I made you feel lonely."

"Oh, no need to be sorry. I understand." I smiled and continued eating while looking at my mate from time to time.

Caleb looked too hungry from the way he was digging in the food on his plate. He finished eating before I was done. I thought we would have little chats while eating our food. However, I must say, I was a little disappointed when he got up from the table and left the dining hall as if he had completely forgotten about my presence.
