“I want to. I’m all in, but what about my debt? What shall I do? I’ll lose the café.”
“That won’t do,” Roman says. “It’s important to you. We’ll find a solution. Together.”
“I don’t know how big your debt is,” Archer says. “I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep. We’re not one of those rich packs your parents surely want for you. But we have some money, and if that’s not enough, I swear I’ll sell my shares and work my ass off to pay it and free you from that yoke.”
“As will I,” Kyrian says, rising back to his feet.
“And I,” Roman declares.
My eyes burn.
“The three musketeers,” Coco stage whispers now. “Three for one and one for all!”
The girls are giggling at the back of the café, but I don’t give a damn.
“Come to our place,” Roman says. “After you close up your café, come spend the night with us. Get to know us. We’ll have dinner. Archer is a mean cook.”
I turn to him. “Really?”
“You’ve never heard of an alpha cooking before?” he mutters.
“Not that. You’re inviting me to dinner?”
“And into our pack,” he says. “Look, we were going to take this slower, but with the way things are evolving…”
“What way?”
“You with these packs, and Brinlee running away last night… Point is, we want to make an offer. To both of you.”
A slow smile is spreading over my face. I feel it tugging at my mouth, at my cheeks. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you guess?” Roman’s grin widens. “Do we have that good a poker face? Hear that, Arch? I should try my hand at poker again.”
“Last time you were robbed blind,” Archer mutters.
“He’s only mad because it was his money I lost,” Roman says with a chuckle. “Anyway… back to you. This is our official invitation for you to join our pack.”
I open my mouth. Close it. Glance from one handsome face to the next. “You’re making me an offer. To join your pack.”
“That’s right.”
“And we can do a trial run.”
“Damn right.”
“And you’re working on getting Brinlee on board as well.”
“Yup. Are you in?”
I shouldn’t. I’m supposed to choose one of the packs my parents want for me. Keep my café. Keep my life as it is—only it won’t stay the same, will it? Something has to change either way, and this is my chance to choose my path.
“I’m in,” I say.
If I can’t keep the café, I may give it another try later on in life. But if I let go of these guys, I have a feeling I’ll regret it forever.
