Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 26

I lean away. It's too real.

He leans closer. "Having an almost group like mentality because did you see the way they all jumped up when I almost 'hit' you? Half of them weren't even looking this way. And then the golden eyes-"

"Not all of them." I say firmly. There's been grey. There's been black and blue and everything in between.

"Most of them, then. Come on Mia, doesn't all of that sound a little too familiar? You know the answer. You read this stuff all the time."

I cross my arms and sink further into my seat. "They call them Alpha."

"Huh?" he asks.

"The brothers, they call them Alpha. I thought it was a last name, but what if..."

His eyes widen.

My eyes widen. "Are we really considering...?"

He tightens his fists. "If this was a fantasy book, we'd already have our answer by now." He looks at me.

I look at him.

He looks at me.

I look at him.

We simultaneously burst out laughing. "Nah," we say in unison.

I wave him off. "There's no way."

He nods. "I know. If these people were werewolves, there's no way they'd let us openly discuss it right here."

I ignore the thousands of eyes staring wide-eyed at us. "Yeah, and if they're werewolves then Lowetta High was full of vampires."

He gleefully exclaims, "And we weren't turned into blood banks there, so we're good."

"We just barely weren't turned though." I chuckle a few more times and check the lunch line for progress. It's still as long as ever. "Vampire food or not, that line is never going to die down."

"Well have to start bringing sack lunches or something," he mutters.

I remember the items in my bag. "Want a fat storing brownie?" I ask.

He raises an eyebrow. "A what?"

"It's if the troops need quick energy boosters. Don't ask."

He chuckles. "I think I'll pass."
