"What was what?" Geo asked, locking the door behind him. At least this way his parents would just think he was asleep or something. And no one else would try and go in there. It really must have just happened on the spot for Miki, if she forgot to even lock the door.

"That smell?" Alex looked at him curiously.

"What smell?" he started leading him down the halls again.

"Oh, come on!" Alex laughed. "The look on your face when you got out said it all!"

"I really don't know what you're talking about," he shook his head.

If Miki was gone for their plan of distracting everyone, that meant that there was someone who wasn't getting looked over. Geo would probably have to go and distract them as well now. Which was going to be annoying, but doable.

"Hiroko," he called out to her first. He was worried about Shiro. He knew that he was new to all the romance stuff. It was something that he never explored due to all the pack responsibilities. "How's Shiro?"

"I was hoping that I could talk to you about that," she said. "I got a bit distracted talking to the Luna and Delta of the Valor Pack."

"Is anyone watching the garden?!"

"I don't think so. If I stayed around there then they would have found me."

Great. This was supposed to be an easy plan. They all had one job: Distract and guard. It was supposed to be as easy as breathing for them. And now it was probably up to him to try and pick up the pieces.

"I'm going to try and sneak over there," Geo told her. "Mind distracting the Beta for me?"

"Sure thing," she told him. "Where's Miki?"

"She got her curse early this month, I guess."

"Where?!"

"Calm down. She's in my room. Her and Tammy will be safe." Even though his room is probably going to wreak for an eternity. He should just buy a new bed and sheets at this point. Thinking about sleeping in the same spot that those two were going at it made him want to throw up. Miki was practically his sister.

"You're distracted," Alex snapped him back to reality. "Did something happen when you went to that room?"

"No," he told him, then lifted up his phone. "Just had to grab this. It's just parties like these that are always so hectic."

"And you're sure that nothing was going on in that room?" Alex raised an eyebrow. Geo knew that he was onto him. But, if he said it enough times, he would probably believe him. That's what worked on his parents.

"Absolutely nothing," Geo smiled at him. "You should try our food though. The dessert's the best." He motioned towards the table of food they had. Hiroko was nearby talking to a small group of people. All of them he noticed came with Alpha Jett when he first arrived.

"Really?" Those bright blue eyes looked excited at it. "Which one's your favorite?"

"The chocolate one," Geo told him. "I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

Well, that was easy enough. Geo used the crowd to hide himself as the beta got some food. Food was always very convincing.

"Jin," he mind linked with him. "Where are you?"

"Out back with the Gamma and his wife," Jin told him. "Wiatt's here too it seems."

"The talkative omega?"
