Read Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 228 – Rose starts rummaging through her bag when her phone pings in her pocket; she pulls it out.
“Ten minutes and Maya will be waiting down at the entrance to your place,”
Oh, great, Maya was trouble, but she was Rose‘s best friend.
“Whose party is it anyway?” I ask, wondering what to wear. Most of my clothes are sweat pants and oversized shirts. Finding a pair of jeans, I slip them on before grabbing a tank top and Jacket.” Maya‘s brother is in a band they are performing in the City than having a party afterward for Henry‘s birthday, which was yesterday,”
“You‘re wearing that?” She asks.
“Hey, I wanted to stay home, and I am not freezing my a*s off,” I tell her pulling my knee–high boots on.
Rose rummages through her bags before pulling out a blue skin–tight little dress and some heels.
“No, you are not wearing that. Where did you even get that?” I ask, pulling my gloves on and flexing my fingers inside them.
“Borrowed it from Maya, pretty, don‘t you think?”
“Pretty short, I can almost see your bum, “She shakes it at me. I try to tug it down, and she swats my hands away.
“Don‘t, I like it,”
“I can see everything,” I tell her, while trying to tuck her cleavage back in her dress.
“Kind of the point, it‘s a party, and it will probably be the only one I get to go to,”
“You go to parties all the time,”
“Yeah chaperoned parties with Mr cranky pants, you try having fun with him breathing down your neck, and when I do manage to sneak off, I am dragged home within minutes,” Rose mutters. Her phone pings again, and she walks over to the window and tosses her shoes out. They land on the grass with a thud.
“Come on,” She whispers.
“We have a door,‘ I tell her.
“What if someone is awake?” I sigh before following her, careful as I use the vines and climb down.
***************
It took two hours to drive into the City and took only two minutes to lose Rose amongst the crowd inside the overfull house. I have spent the last hour and a half hunting her down as I walked around. I was about to pull my phone out and ring Jonah or even Casen when I finally spotted her.
Stalking over to her, she swayed, and I gripped her arm, taking the plastic cup from her hands. I sniffed it, finding it contained vodka.
“You aren‘t old enough to drink Rose, you are sixteen,”
“Nope, seventeen,” She slurs, tapping her phone. “And I have been seventeen for an entire,”
She squints at her phone swaying, and I take it from her, glancing around for her friend Maya only to find her passed out on a table.
F*****g h**l, she was supposed to be the designated driver, and I was a nervous driver. I hated driving Walking over to her, I rummage through her pockets for her keys and come up empty. Maya groans, and I tug her up when she shoves me away.
“Leave me. I am fine,” She snaps, and I clench my jaw, Kora was on edge, and the vibe I was getting didn‘t feel right.
“Maya, where are your keys?” I ask her shaking her arm. I would put up with the names, but if she thought I was going to leave Rose in some random person‘s house, she was mistaken.
“Hey, leave her be,” says a man who shoves me, and I nearly trip. A growl tears out of me, and Kora pushes our aura out in warning, and he steps back with his hands up. Everyone stops around me and stares. I was not in the mood to deal with this s**t show.
“Woah, woah, it‘s her brother Henry,” Rose slurs, hanging off me completely shitfaced.
“How much have you drank,” I snap at her, and she shrugs
“I am ringing Jonah or Casen to come to get us. You were supposed to stay with me, not take off,” I scold her.
“She is fine; you don‘t have to leave, let her sleep it off upstairs,”
“No! Maya, your keys now, we are leaving,”
“Settle down, just stay. We will drive you both back in the morning. I won‘t let anything happen to ya‘s you‘re freaking out for nothing,‘‘ This Henry person says, and I glare at him.
“Won‘t let anything happen? You let two underage girls get shitfaced; what kind of brother are you? She should not be passed out around all these people and all these unmated wolves. Maya, get up,” I tell her shaking her arm. I knew this was a bad idea, and I deserved the scolding I would get when I got home. I just hope Jonah forgives me for my stupidity. Her parents were going to k**l me.
“You want to go, go. But my sister stays, Samson,” Henry yells, and another man comes over.
“Put Maya upstairs for me and make sure the door is locked,” he tells the man before wandering off. I watch as he scoops Maya off the table, shaking his head.
F**k, now what? I thought, looking around. I glanced at my phone and knew no one would get here for hours.
“What about that hotel we passed, you have the emergency credit card your father gave you,” Kora says, and I nod to her before gripping Rose‘s arm, and she tries to struggle against me.
“No, I want to stay,” Rose argues.
“No, we are leaving,”
