I can’t believe that guy slapped my butt! How rude! Seriously there are some jackasses out there I swear. But then I wasn’t going to complain at Knox swooping in and being the hero of the hour to defend me, not that I wanted defending of course but it still felt kinda nice all the same., I followed him back to the booth, where Indie was still completely engrossed in chatting to Dan which was to be expected, she had literally just met her mate, the one guy she was meant to be with, they will have a lot to talk about, though I imagine they’re wanting to do a whole lot more than talking right now. But everything else was as we left it, Manuel, Jake, Lexi, Gabe and Rae were chatting between themselves as we sat down., Lexi looked up at me and grinned ” hey chica, where’d you go? Running off with the alpha hey?” She giggled., The Alpha?! Knox was the Alpha? Well that explained his size I guess and his intimidating aura but no I was not running off with an Alpha and had no intention of going near an Alpha again, she should f*****g know that after the s**t show of Logan., “Hmm, went to help get drinks” I gave a tight smile hoping she realised I was pissed off., I felt Knox slide into the seat beside me, clearly listening in to the conversation going on around him., “Lex was telling us you just turned 18 Lilah, you got plans now?” Gabe asked me with a smile., Plans? Oh yeah to smack her upside her head, why she talking about me? And what else she been telling them?, “Probably to run away to get away from her d**k of an ex Alpha and his psycho new mate” Lexi blurted out as she knocked back her drink before quickly realising what she’d said and putting her hand to her mouth as everyone’s head swivelled to me ” maybe I drank to much” Lexi added with a g***n probably knowing she’d overstepped the mark., I couldn’t believe she’d f*****g said that! What a total b***h! I don’t even know these guys and they’re going to think I’m some weak psycho ex, wanting to run away because I can’t cope my ex found his mate. I wanted to slap her I truly did, but right now I had a group of puzzled faces looking at me for a response, I had to think of some way of playing it off as being nothing. Though I couldn’t help but give Lexi a dirty look. She’d be getting a mouthful later on., “Ha funny Lex, nah no plans to run away yet,” I try to joke the tension eases a little and thankfully not everyone was staring at me anymore though I noticed Knox’s eyes focused on me with a look of something I wasn’t sure if was concern, maybe pity in them, who knew, I for one wasn’t going for sympathy and wasn’t going to bother trying to work it out “and as for other plans I’m not sure yet” I answer honestly with a shrug., “sounds like you naughty girls pulled my sweet and innocent cousin out for drinks tonight is that right?” Gabe said with a grin, while Lexi sat smiling fluttering her eyelashes. thankfully now both distracting the attention from me, “You know me Gabriel, always studying hard, they literally dragged me from my room kicking and screaming to the bar…..” she said with a smile at her cousin., We all laughed at their antics “hmm I’m sure, though you should be careful chica, as your Papi ain’t going to be so happy if he knows I was with you buying drinks!” Gabe said with a frown., “Aww Gabe, what Papi doesn’t know won’t hurt him, please don’t be a spoilsport I wanted to come out and have some drinks with my friends, Indie asked us to come out to cheer Lilah up, to have a laugh so that’s what we’ve done, don’t you go being the big bad wolf and spoiling it now!” Lexi pouted at her cousin as two ice filled buckets of beers were put on the table, followed by a tray with a bottle of whisky and some small glasses.
