THE FROSTMOON PROPHECIES: Her Heart's Desire (Book 1)

Chapter 52 🪩💃💃🏼🕺🏼

Alpha Summers⇨ "Wait, Aliana..."

I turn back around to face him. He comes closer, placing his hand on my shoulder, making sure he has my undivided attention. He sure is a pretty handsome older man. My eyes can appreciate what I'm seeing for sure.

Alpha Summers⇨ "I'm sorry that my son isn't here right now to meet you. I'll make sure you two meet before the night is through. Promise to save him a dance later, for me?"

Awkward. I'd prefer to keep myself as far away from his family as I possibly can. I do know that this association and treaty between our packs is important. Even though it feels like I'm not welcomed in my pack anymore. I'll play along for everyone I love.

Me⇨ "Oh sure. I'll save a dance for..."

Alpha Summers⇨ "Jesse, Jesse Summers, the future Alpha of the Dark Bane pack." He smiles, knowing I agree to a dance with his son.

I'm sure Jesse Summers doesn't need help from his father getting girls to dance. Just his Alpha aura alone pulls girls. Plus, from what I can see, their family has good looks. Gorgeous blue eyes, light colored hair, and nice bodies. I'll be on the lookout for a blonde hottie somewhere around here. I would've questioned why he didn't ask Michelle to save a dance for his son, but why put her on their radar if she's safe? At least, as far as I can tell, she's safe from this family. Also, I want her and Luke to be mates so bad.

Me⇨ "OK, I'll save a dance for Jesse Summers. I'll see y'all around. It's time for food!" I say, smiling brightly because y'all know how happy food makes me!

I hear him laughing as I pull Michelle and Mason away. I can't save Calvin and Luke at this time, so I might as well fill some plates with delicious pack food.

Ahead of us, there were lines everywhere for the different food categories being served onto plates. I go for smoked ribs and beef brisket, fresh potato salad, maple bacon barbecue baked beans, sweet fresh fried corn nuggets, super cheesy fresh baked macaroni and cheese and collard greens.

I make it to our reserved table and place down my food where our friends are already seated. I gotta run to get some fresh brewed iced sweet tea. After that, I'll be all set since they put all utensils, napkins, and condiments on each table. I make it back to the table and sit and start digging in since I haven't eaten since breakfast this morning.

Cooper⇨ "I don't think this will ever get old. Free entertainment as we eat."

Huh? I look up to see what Cooper is talking about. They're all staring at me. I really need to start charging admission.

Me⇨ "What the fuck, you creepers? I'm just eating. Nothing interesting about that."

Cooper⇨ "Oh Tink, I beg to differ. You're a very entertaining eater."

I flick him off and everyone laughs.

Me⇨ "Ja ja ja, assholes. Keep watching me eat, and I'll eat your food, too!"

Their heads snap from me immediately. Suckers. I know that I got more than plenty on my plates, plus there's still dessert to devour, but they didn't have to know that. Heehee.

Me "So where is our headmaster and teachers?"

Mason⇨ "They're talking with the elders and the alphas. I feel worried about what they're doing here. Like we've been told, it's been difficult to come to an offer between our packs that is fair for everyone that's involved."

Michelle⇨ "Same! Jenna's super hugged up to our poor brother. I feel so bad for him because he can't push her away with all of them around her."

It's killing me inside knowing what their dad said to me less than an hour ago. They're going to be pissed when I tell them after we get back to the academy. I've just gotta focus on having a good time and remember the good things about this pack.
