My Best Friends Mate

Chapter Eighteen

"Dustin is going to kill me for wearing this. You know that right?" I looked at Keely as we raced in her bmw back to the packhouse.

"Maybe, but Ryan is going to think you're sexy as fuck" as she pulled up to the compound. We gave the guard our IDs and even he checked us out as he returned them to us.
I just shook my head in amusement and watched as we pulled up to the packhouse. The guys had already made it. Keely didn't understand our concept of time management. We have this saying "if you're early you're on time and if you're on time, you're late" and Keely was late in our standards. I see Alyssa with my brother hanging onto his arm. I was so happy for my brother for finding a good woman.
Ryan is leaning up against his truck, back to us not talking to anyone and poor Zach just stood there
awkward probably feeling a little out of place. Students and Instructors did not "hang out" together.
Keely parks and gets out walking up to Zach giving him a short peck on the cheek. Their relationship
seemed odd. Yeah they were mates but I could tell Keely was indeed not in love with him, at least not yet. I step out, fidgeting with a spaghetti strap. Dustin was caught up in Alyssa and Ryan was digging in the back of his truck. For a moment they were in their own little worlds and I was invisible. I heard Keely cough and I braced myself.

"wow Kiara! You look beautiful!" Alyssa said eyeing me from behind my brother who had buried his face in her neck. I saw Ryan look up from his truck and drop whatever it was he was fiddling with, it sounds loud. He walked out from behind the truck, not taking his eyes off me. He elbows Dustin in the shoulder.
When Dustin turns around you'd think he was acting like his eyes were on fire.
"Nope. No. Absolutely not! Go back to your cabin and put some clothes on!"
I knew he would act that way. Keely and Alyssa laughing and Ryan looking confused as to if he should be turned on or also pissed that other men would be seeing like this.

"oh come on babe, she looks beautiful. Your sister isn't a little girl anymore. Besides its not even revealing" Alyssa held onto Dustin's arm coaxing him.

"I agree with Dustin" Ryan says arm crossed. Well that answers that.

"Thank you!" and Dustin throws his hands up.

"This is what im wearing and we're leaving now." I commanded. They weren't going to boss me around.
"Keely, Zach and I will ride with Ryan in his truck and we'll meet you and Alyssa there" I walked towards Ryan's truck.

"your ass looks fantastic" said Keely.
I turned to catch Ryan staring at my ass and Keely winked at me.

"Im gonna fight somebody tonight, I know I am. Thanks Keely" Dustin said annoyed and crawled into Alyssa's Lexus.
The entire drive there Ryan had his hand on the gear shift, so close to my leg. I wanted so badly to grab it and enlace my fingers in his but I couldn't. He didn't speak to me much but the stolen glances and occasional smiles were enough for me. If it was just Keely I wouldn't have refrained from the pda but Zach was with us and it wasn't necessary for him to know anything. I knew Keely would keep our secret.
We arrive at this sports bar called Garrisons. For a weekday it was pretty busy. People flocked in to watch the game, play pool, and meet up to destress after a work day. Garrisons being a human bar, Keely and I were too young to have a drink which didn't bother me. I wasn't much of a drinker even
though werewolves can drink at an earlier age than that of humans. Even without our wolves our bodies were built differently and we could handle our alcohol. We all sat down at the bar with everyone in between Ryan and I. He looked at me giving me a bored look but before I could return the expression,
the bartender walks up to Dustin and Ryan, smiling at them like she knew them. My suspicions were correct because next thing I hear is her smooth voice.

"Hudd, Blackstock. Long time no see" and she gave them a sly smile flipping her long chocolate hair.

I saw Dustin shift in his chair and Ryan put his hand to his forehead turning to give Dustin a raised brow and awkward cough. Even more entertaining was Alyssa maintaining eye contact with the brunette.
