Nevaeh woke up with a headache and blurry memories from the previous day. She vaguely recalled her arrest but what happened afterward was unclear. Descending to the kitchen with a dry mouth, she was surprised to find empty bottles on the counter. After drinking a glass of water, she decided to make coffee despite feeling nauseous.
While disposing of the bottles, Beta Chris entered the kitchen, having just showered.

Nevaeh commented, "You drink, and I end up with a hangover! Not fair!"

"Who said it was me?" Beta Chris retorted.

"With Brody, you both had the habit of leaving empty bottles lying around when you drank together. By the way, you have quite a tolerance!" Nevaeh remarked.

"I wasn't alone. Alpha Levi drank with me."

"What was Levi doing here?" Nevaeh asked, confused.

"He's still here. He came to save your cute little ass and stayed to make sure you recovered all your faculties," Beta Chris explained.

Nevaeh groaned, "What happened after my arrest, exactly?"

"Let me show you; it'll be easier. So much happened!" he replied, excitedly.

His excitement didn't bode well, and Nevaeh hesitated before taking his hand to share his memories. He showed her everything, even when she mentioned that Levi smelled good, not once but twice. She was mortified.

"Do you have to show me everything?" she grumbled.

He replied with a smirk, "You needed to know everything!"

"How long are you going to tease me about this?" she asked.

With a triumphant and calculating look, he answered, "It depends on how long you'll use against me the fact that I walked into your bathroom while you were showering."

"Mutual destruction..." Nevaeh muttered.

"Well played!" She congratulated him.

"I learned from the best, after years of observing you and Brody," he proudly responded.

"I hate it when you're smarter than me," Nevaeh complained.

"We both know you love me!" Beta Chris retorted before hugging her.

"Where's Sawyer?" Nevaeh asked.

"He stayed at your brother's with Evangeline. She wants to see you, by the way. Apparently, her insistence is driving Landon and Avery completely crazy, but Sawyer won't lift his ban without your agreement," Beta Chris explained.

"Okay... I'd like my headache to pass before another confrontation with her. I need to be fully functional."

"She completely panicked when she saw you unconscious in my arms. How are you feeling?" Levi declared, entering the kitchen.

Nevaeh couldn't help but blush when she remembered what Beta Chris had shown her and her behavior with Levi.

"A bit hungover, but nothing else, and I have to thank you for that. Thank you," she replied, still blushing.

"Are you sure? You don't look well. Your cheeks are all red. And I just heard you say you have a headache. Maybe we should call Peter," Levi worried.

Beta Chris burst into laughter, earning a glare from Nevaeh.

"I'm fine, you worry too much. I'm going to Lisandro's to see Evangeline," Nevaeh replied a bit curtly. She was annoyed with her Beta.
