CHAPTER ONE
EMBER
Ren and Bray stride off down the corridor towards the locker room, and I hop back over the barrier to join the others. Creed reappears from getting some last shots of Ren Post-match, and thankfully, ‘Alpha Nox’ has scurried off when the media headed towards them.
“Creed, I need photos for his websites and media pages ASAP.” Devin chirps, swiping at some things on his tablet,
“It's okay, babe. They all go straight to my laptop, cleaning up one of our gorgeous Luna, getting her perk ass squeezed right now. Come pick which others you want.” Darby snarks with a wink, the guy’s joke around and grumble that it wasn’t a fair fight.
Miles holds my hand as we people-watch, which is mainly him complaining about how some people are dressed. A group of girls wearing ribbons, as Miles puts it, come to stand in front of our section. Matt's head appears between mine and Miles, kissing his mate's cheek.
“What are they doing?” He asks before I get a chance to give him some sass. Lily twists in front of Miles to look at us,
“They are either trying to get in press photos or grab your boys' attention.” She looks at them with disgust,
“They are how succubae get a bad name,” she spits the words,
“They are human, Lily, but I understand the reference; they think they can get to Ren and Brayden through you guys.” Bram looks confused
“Why? How?” I glance at him as I hear the girls talk about how hot the trainer was, and if he’s single, and how my kiss was obviously a publicity stunt, as someone as hot as The Lone Wolf couldn’t really be with a fat ginger like that.
“They get into your beds, you brag how amazing they were, so Ren and Bray then pick up your sloppy seconds, they’re gold and fame diggers, not that you guys, my twin brother or my Fiancé will fall for any of that,” I state loud enough for the rag-wearing girls to hear me.
“They don’t expect my twin to have a hot boyfriend, or someone like Ren to be engaged to someone short and dumpy, they believe they will sway the boys with legs that need to be held closed by tight dresses.” I stand, and so do Miles and Lily, both giving the girls a finger wave.
The venue security comes over to escort the girls out, and they all loudly protest, saying they are part of our group, but they don’t know any of our names. The media department pushes its way to us as we get out of the seating area.
“Miss, can I ask you some questions?” one guy asks while simultaneously sticking a mic and camera in my face,
“No, you may not. Let me introduce you to Devin Moore, ‘Lone Wolfs’ manager. He can answer any questions you have.” Declan and Kodi step between us and them, shielding us from cameras. Once Devin has finished answering questions and ignoring some, we head outside to the cars.
We are nearly at one of the cars when I feel the air shift. I drop my head, realising it’s probably the Lennox pack,
“Matt… get Lily and Miles in the car, lock the doors, do not come out for anything and text the guys, Ren is not allowed to come out. The Media would have a field day.” I get a grunt from Matt as he pulls Miles and Lily to the car. Once the locks click, Dad comes to my side.
“Stop hiding in the shadows, step forward and state your business.”
Dad’s alpha command, lacing his words,
“No one shift, appear human, cameras are watching.” Nate's words are but a mutter, and I see something out of the corner of my eye and spot the guy from inside, crouching behind a minivan.
