Chapter 35: Chapter 35

“I don’t know, James.”

“Come on, Blake. Just one date. What could it hurt?”

He wanted to scream at James. His pride had suffered through multiple dents over the last few years fromone rejection after another. He became disillusioned after the fifth alpha refused to even consider mating and having kids with him. Hence, he stopped seeking an alpha to assist him through his heats. He would rather spend his heats alone rather than get his hopes up, only for them to come crashing down from yet another disappointment. However, James was looking at him in such a way that he knew he wouldn’t be able to refuse his best friend at all.

He shut his eyes and nodded. “Fine. One date.”

“Yes! You won’t regret it, dude. Anyway, I have to return to the shop now. It’s almost Valentine’s, and it gets rather busy this time of the year. I can’t let my alpha handle everything on his own.”

“The two of you have two employees.”

“Yeah, but my alpha sometimes likes a quickie or two in the afternoon.”
