Brad’s eyes swept over me with that cold intensity that made my skin prickle. Without a word, he guided Lester and Roy toward a table near ours. The

ear: ‘Keep Lester here. Don’t let him ruin this for me.”

The moment Sophia and Marcus disappeared through the door, Lester shot to his feet like a man possessed.

I moved faster than I’d ever moved in my life, positioning myself directly in his th to the exit.

“You… Lester stared at me in shock, clearly not expecting a human woman to physically block his way.

If this had been anyone else, Lester probably would have simply moved me aside without a second thought. But I was Brad’s mate, and even an enraged Alpha wasn’t stupid enough to lay hands on another Alpha’s claimed partner-especially not when that Alpha was Brad Rayne.

I smiled up at him with malicious satisfaction. “Now you know exactly how I felt when you stopped me and let Mira walk away with Brad, don’t you? And

this is just the beginning.”

Roy burst into laughter, the sound rich with genuine amusement. Even Brad’s perpetual scowl seemed to lighten slightly at my words.

I crossed my arms and announced loudly enough for the entire restaurant to hear “Sorry, but none of you are leaving this restaurant tonight. Since you

decided to crash our evening, you might as well settle in and enjoy a proper dinner.”

“What about me?” Roy asked with mock innocence. “I can’t leave either?”

“Nope.” I turned to face Brad directly, my chin lifting in challenge. “Nobody leave.

Brad leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, clearly enjoying watching me handle his ally.

Roy finally took pity on his fellow Alpha and grabbed Lester’s arm. “Alright, alright, we surrender! Let’s all sit down and have a civilized dinner, shall we?”

But just as I was savoring my victory, I remembered that Brad and I were supposed to be in the middle of a cold war. I immediately turned to leave.

Brad appeared in front of me so fast it was like he’d teleported. Alpha reflexes were truly unfair.

‘Where’s all that courage from thirty seconds ago?” he asked, his voice low and amused.

I looked up at his impossibly handsome face, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Being this close to him always made my brain short-circuit.

‘All you have to do is sit quietly and have dinner with us,” Brad continued, his voice dropping to that sinful whisper that always made my heart race. ‘In exchange, I guarantee Lester won’t go anywhere near Sophia tonight. Deal?”

His lips brushed against my ear again, sending electricity shooting through my eire body. I stumbled backward, face flaming.

“You…” I couldn’t form a coherent sentence.

After weighing my options and realizing I was thoroughly outmaneuvered, I stomped back to the table and threw myself into a chair with as much dignity as I could muster.

Brad followed, looking insufferably pleased with himself as he settled beside me

‘I have to admit, I didn’t expect you to be such a loyal friend,” Roy said with gene admiration. “That was quite the performance.”

I shot him a sweet smile. ‘Well, Yara’s pretty loyal to Mira too, isn’t she?”

Roy’s grin widened. “Touché.”

Brad caught Alex’s eye and nodded once. Within minutes, Alex was moving through the restaurant with a briefcase full of cash, politely asking the other diners to accept compensation for the inconvenience and find somewhere else to eat tonight.

The humans took the money and practically sprinted for the exits. Nobody argued with the Rayne family when they wanted privacy.

Soon, the massive restaurant was empty except for the four of us and the staff, who discretely withdrew to give us space.

Finally, we could speak freely without human ears listening in.
