The Ex-Mate
*BENJAMIN*
Lori and I play hide he is a great guy. He is generous and patient, and very respectful. So much so that his alpha chose him as his gamma. You don’t want him? So what? I do!”
I don’t know what the fuck triggers Isla, but like a flash, she suddenly lunges towards Lori. Before anyone can react, Lori smacks her with the spatula in her hand, successfully managing to make Isla stumble back.
It’s completely silent around us before everyone bursts into laughter. “That was the best thing I’ve seen in a while,” Anton wheezes.
“She just beat her with a spatula,” Jonah laughs. “Lori, I love you, and I mean that in the most platonic sense ever.”
The only ones not laughing are Nova and me. I feel something stir in me, the presence of my wolf getting stronger. “If you ever try to hurt my mate again,” I growl with a voice that doesn’t seem to belong to me. “You won’t walk out of it alive.”
“Are you fucking insane, Isla?” Nova asks. “What the hell were you thinking?” She glances at Kitty. “Make sure the others are distracted,” she says. “I will make sure Isla gets home.”
“Nothing even happened,” Isla complains. “She hurt me!”
“She defended herself,” I huff. “You attacked her!”
Isla tosses her hair back. “It was just a joke.”
“Don’t make this a big deal, please,” Lori mutters towards Nova. “I don’t want to be the reason for any drama.” She looks at her insistently. “Please,” she begs.
“Alright, only because Lori says to. But you are still going to fuck off from my party,” Nova says to Isla. “Never pull such a stunt again. I will need to report you to Cass. I doubt he will be happy.”
