“I was thinking it was nice to have another she-wolf at this table.” Beta Naomi whispers so only Luna Olivia and I can hear her. “Too much testosterone if you ask me.” I can’t help but laugh. Both Luna Olivia and Beta Naomi are being very kind to me.
“What are you girls laughing at down there?” Alpha Patrick has turned his attention back to us. No doubt our laughter, or at least the laughter of his mate, has caught his attention. I’ve heard he’s a very attentive mate.
“Oh, we’re just discussing how glad we are that Lily was able to join us for dinner.” Luna Olivia says, winking at me. I try to hide my smile by looking back at my plate.
The conversation starts up again and I look up to see that Clint is watching me. He smiles before starting to eat again..
“So, Patrick, Anders and I are going to join Lily and Calista in their study group tonight. I was thinking that we could use the small meeting room.” Clint says and the table goes quiet.
“You and Anders are joining Lily and Calista in a study group?” Patrick says as if this is a difficult concept to understand. Everyone at the table is staring at him. and Anders.
“Yes. Lily and Calista are used to studying together, and with Lily moving here,Calista is going to be coming to the packhouse to study. Clint and I figured we’d join them So, the small meeting room, dad?” Anders answers his father.
“And what, exactly, will you be studying?” Beta Calvin asks.
“Well, I need to get caught up on my literature reading.” Clint says.
“Yeah, and I need to prepare for an anatomy and physiology test.” Anders says.
Both of them have the most innocent looks on their face that I’ve ever seen. I glance around and see the looks of surprise and exasperation from everyone else at the table.
“Door stays open.” Alpha Patrick says before he goes back to eating.
“Of course, dad. What did you think we were going to do? Geez, get your mind out of the gutter.” And 1 suddenly realize exactly what everyone at the table was thinking and I blush, what I’m sure, is a bright shade of red.
Luna Olivia turns back to me. “Your friends with Calista, isn’t that right Lily?”
“Oh, yes ma’am. We’re best friends, we have been almost all our lives.”
“I don’t know her very well. Tell me about her.” She says with a smile. I see Anders tense up from the corner of my eye.
“Well, she’s very smart. She’s a kind and generous friend. Unlike me, she doesn’t want to be a warrior, so she’s working to become a doctor.”
“She sounds like a lovely girl.” Beta Naomi says.
“She really is.” I say and Luna Olivia turns to Beta Naomi. “We should invite her to have dinner here with us tomorrow night.” She turns back to me. “Do you think she would like that?”
“Uh, I think so. I’ll ask her when she comes over tonight.” I say, not understanding why Anders looks more and more uncomfortable as this conversation continues. Clint, on the other hand, seems to be trying hard not to laugh.
“How about you introduce us to her when she gets here.” Beta Naomi says. “That way we can invite her ourselves.”
“Okay, I’m sure that will make her feel more comfortable about coming tomorrow.” I tell them.
After dinner, I head up to my room and quickly shower and change before Calista is supposed to arrive. I grab my books and head downstairs just as she is walking into the packhouse.
“Hey Cali.”
“Lily!” We hug like we didn’t just see each other a couple hours ago.
“Did your parents say anything about you coming here tonight?” I ask her.
“No, apparently, they saw the warrior that Alpha Patrick sent to your house to get your things. They haven’t seen your parents at all.”
“What did you tell them?” I ask her.
“I told them you were living in the packhouse now, but I didn’t know what had happened.”
“Thanks, Cali. Hey, Luna Olivia and Beta Naomi want to meet you. They wanted invite you to have dinner with us tomorrow night.” to i
“Me? Why?”
I shrug. “I don’t know. Maybe so I don’t feel so awkward.” I lean in toward her. It was weird being at the ranked member’s table.” She and I are giggling together when we turn the corner and find Luna Olivia.
“Luna Olivia. This is my friend, Calista Johns.”
“Oh, Calista.” Luna Olivia takes her hands. “Aren’t you beautiful? We’d love it if you would join us for dinner tomorrow night at the packhouse. I’d be happy to speak to your parents about it, if needed.”
I can see Cali is just as flustered as I was earlier. “I’m sure they will be fine with me having dinner here, Luna. Thank you for the invitation.”
“Before you go study,” she turns, “Naomi!” She calls out.
Beta Naomi comes out of another room. “Oh, is this Calista?” She asks, her eyes brightening.
“Yes, isn’t she lovely?”
“She definitely is. I’m so glad to meet you. You’ll be having dinner with us. tomorrow evening?”
“Uh, yes, Beta.”
“Wonderful, we’ll catch up more tomorrow night, then. Enjoy you s at me.
As we turn and walk away, Cali “What was that?”
“I have no idea.”
Studying was interesting. When we arrived, Clint and Anders had already set up the room so that one of us would have to sit with Anders and the other with Clint.
“Why don’t we pull the tables together?” I suggest when we walk in.
“Oh, we set it up this way so we could study our joint classes without disrupting each other.” Anders says quickly. “Cali, you can come sit with me and we can study for our anatomy test.” it off to our
I look at her quickly before we separate tables.
