“What’s going on, Zaff?” asked Oscar, appearing out of nowhere as he threw on a shirt. “I heard her door open.”
“She’s distancing herself from us,” I said, walking away from her door. “I don’t understand.”
“Damn,” said Oscar worriedly.
“We’re going on a picnic today,” I said. “All of us. Tell the rest of the pack.”
“Alright, sounds good.”

Stepping out of the shower,I wrapped my wet hair in a small towel as I walked towards my closet to pick something to wear to the picnic today.
What the hell did I just agree to?
I had planned to cut things off with Zaff and his pack today, but I just didn’t have the heart to do it after finding him sleeping in front of my door. Something about seeing him uncomfortable for many hours just to make sure I was alright touched me.
I sighed as I rifled through all the dresses and outfits in my closet.
Zaff had his assistants gather my size and fill my closet up with a bunch of frilly dresses I could wear to his fancy dinner parties with associates. I hadn’t been to one yet, and it gave me pure anxiety just thinking about that.
I picked out a long-sleeved sky-blue dress that stopped just above my knee. I paired it with brown strappy sandals. This would be a perfect outfit for a picnic.
After blow-drying my hair, I put on the outfit and loved the way it flared at my waist. My brown hair was fluffy and long around my shoulders, complimenting the dress. I decided to go light on the makeup as I sat at my vanity table. Light pink lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and mascara.
Despite feeling nervous about being pregnant, I was excited to hang out with Zaff and the pack for a picnic today. Getting up from my chair, I walked over to the window and looked out the bright sky to the beautiful view of the mountain before me.
It would be a beautiful day for a picnic.
But I had to ask them if they were serious about me or not. If they weren’t serious, I needed to know so I could start building a life alone.
An hour later,I was riding in the limo with the entire pack as Jeff drove us to the picnic site. I sat between Ruston and Oscar while Chad and Zaff sat across fromus.
“Am I allowed to hold your hand?” asked Ruston after five minutes of awkward silence in the vehicle. The alphas seemed afraid of me almost, and I wanted to burst out laughing, but I held back.
“Yes,” I said, smiling, and he let out a sigh of relief, clasping my hand. They weren’t groping me in the car like they usually did or fingering me until I came. There was a lot of nervousness and tension between us.
“Glad you don’t hate us,” said Ruston, and I shook my head.
“I was just tired last night,” I said, trying to brush it off, but the way Zaff was gazing at me told me that my carefree attitude didn’t fool him.
“Zaff slept outside your door all night,” said Oscar, grasping my other hand. “We begged him to give you space.”
I knew that Oscar was trying to get a reason out of me, but I wasn’t ready to talk about it yet. I was still wondering whether or not to tell them about the baby.
My worst fear was that they would feel obligated to stay with me because of the baby.
“We’re here,” said Zaff, thankfully diverting the conversation so we could look out the window instead. Jeff parked the limo on the side of the road, and Oscar opened the door for me, helping me out.
I gasped when I saw the cute hillside and the trees blowing in the light wind of this beautiful summer’s day.
“Do you like it?” asked Chad, and I nodded. “I picked this spot specifically.”
As we climbed up the hillside, I noticed the picnic baskets and large blankets already set up by their team. There were large trays holding glass cups, a charcuterie board displaying different cured meats with crackers, and a fruit platter.
I sat comfortably on the plush blanket between Zaff andRuston as they opened the picnic baskets while I quietly watched.
They pulled out a bunch of little sandwiches from the baskets made with different types of fillings.
