“Oh, yes, I forgot he has to pick up his date. Are you sure you want to do that?”
I nod, but we both know I hate University. It’s Greg’s area. Thankfully she doesn’t ask more questions.
I even my step to Beta’s and try to lower my voice as quietly as possible, without anyone else eavesdropping.
“Do you want some extra information?”
He opens his mouth but doesn’t say anything. Finally, he nods, which I read as consent.
“So, what’s with the date that Greg is bringing to the wedding?”
My mom stops in her tracks before the throne room and looks at me with a content smile, that quickly turns into one of surprise when her eyes are drawn to the crescent gold scar on my neck.
“I see congratulations are in order, Your Highnesses,” she says, turning her curious eyes to Cain.
“Thanks, Mom, so what about Greg’s date?” I react quickly before it can turn into something messy.
“Oh, Jax,cute guy, running for the future Beta position of his pack. We like him.”
I glance at Lucifer whose arm muscles tensed, as I could feel standing so close to him… He looks okay, though. He can handle more.
“Is he handsome?” I ask.
“Yes, very! A little bit shorter and leaner than our Gregory, but makes it up with the face and that model-worthy jaw… He looks exactly like that actor you like, Simu Liu?”
I furrow my brows, noticing the tone while she’s commenting on his height. “What's wrong with being short?”
“Oh, nothing, it’s just… you know your father, I’m just… Okay, I like tall guys, okay? Sue me.”
Cain chuckles, throwing me off for a moment. Goddess, Ilovethat laugh of his.
“Yeah, yes, me too,” I admit, trying to compose myself.
“What about that short guy you told me about,” Claudia joins the conversation.
“Jane’s husband?” Both my mom and I ask at the same time, and we laugh.
Cain lifts his eyebrow at me.
“They are both human, and he is like my height, maybe an inch taller, but, damn… He’s sexy as fuck. I don’t know where Jane found him. They just had twins a few months ago. So, Mom, this Jax—”
“Can we just go for this lunch already? Your Majesty.” Beta bows his head slightly to my mom and goes back the way we came, cutting my investigation.
Shame. I wanted to know what kind of guy managed to make my brother take him as an official date anywhere. Greg always liked his options… open.
Claudia wanted to stay and start working on her hair, so I asked my mom to introduce her to Ella. I decided to take my guys to the burger joint just near the University they wanted to visit.
It has a dark, bar-like setting, and I figured it would be the best place for rogues to hide in plain sight.
I was right. They look like they belong with the biker club that is already flooding half the joint. I ask Cain to lead the way to the last unoccupied booth at the back, and we sit on the crackling dark-red leather.
It doesn’t take long for the waitress to take our burger orders, and we are instructed to go straight to the bartender if we want any drinks, because they are too packed for her to be able to come back to us often.
“No problem,” I said with a smile, giving her the last menu back.
“Oh my Goddess, you are Princess Asher!” she exclaims, looking at me with a newfound enthusiasm. “My baby brother is a huge fan of you, Your Highness, he keeps saying he wants to fight as good as you someday.”
“Oooh, thank you!” I put my hand on my chest, truly moved by this cute compliment. “Do you want me to record some message for him? What’s his name?”
