Playing With The Alpha

pg 34

I bite at my finger nails impatiently while watching Zayne and one of the younger store employee scan through many racks of dresses.

"May I help you with anything?" An older store clerk asked.

"Oh no I'm actually just waiting on someone." I say and look over at Zayne. She follows my eyes and smile.

"Boyfriend?"

"Oh no!" He's just a really good friend."

"That's not what your eyes say." She says. I immediately turn to her. "What do you mean?"

The store clerks chuckles. "Sweetie believe it or not I was once your age and I've been in love too. If you love him you should let him know."

"It's not like that. Besides, we could never be together even if I wanted." I say more to myself. I didn't expect her to understand anyways. Zayne had a mate and so did I. That's how things are.

"I see. But just know young lady that love always wins in the end."

"Leah!" Zayne calls out; he waves for me to come over.

"Um, it was nice meeting you." I say.

In his hands were different dresses. All different shades of silver and all were different lengths and styles.

"My friend Maria will help you try them on in the back, here." He hands the dresses and I follow Maria to the dressing room.

"Do you need any help putting them on?" I politely shake my head. "No thank you. I got it."

"Zayne told me about what you two are trying to do and I totally like it."

"You know about Randi and our plan?"

"Yeah, he told it all to me over the phone last night. That's why I had to make sure I was working today just so I could help."

"How...how do you and Zayne know each other?" I ask confused.

"I bumped into him one day in town. But that's enough about me."

"How does a human girl end up in a pack of wolves?"

"It's a long story." I say shaking my head.

"Oh Okay. But Yeah, that guy Randi is such an asshole. In my opinion I think you're way pretty then that chick he dines with every week at that restaurant across the street." Maria rants.

I laugh and put my hair behind my ear. "I should probably start changing now."

"But of course!" Maria says. She waves her hands for me to go.

After sliding into the first dress I let a nervous sigh out before heading out to look at myself in the mirror.
