章 21: Book 1 : Chapter 21 Counting Sheep

October 14th

"We're going to be late," I said when it got to 6:56 pm and we still hadn't left for the party at 7:00 pm.

After agreeing not to speak about the events of today again, things had been much better and we'd spent half an hour cuddling, watching 'friends' on the TV. This didn't mean I had forgiven him. Not by a mile. But he was my mate and we don't have a choice but to be together for the rest of our lives, so the least we could do to make it bearable was be civil. Besides, I had this weird connection with him and despite knowing he was a horrible person, I couldn't help but be drawn to him.

"Fashionably late," Leo said, cupping my face in his hands and kissing my forehead.

When we eventually arrived at the party, about an hour after it started, Luca greeted us at the door and led us straight to the drinks table.

He seemed slightly drunk, but then again Luca always seems drunk.

"Wupidoo the Alpha and Luna are finally here!" He bellowed out to no one in particular.
