My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 How to Date

Third–person POV:

Samuel caught sight of Laila in the crowd from the corner of his eye.

His movements paused for a split second. Then he pulled back cleanly, stepped away, and waved at Viola. “That’s enough.”

Viola had just found her rhythm and blinked. “What? Why?”

Samuel didn’t answer. He had already turned and was walking toward Laila.

Viola followed his line of sight and rolled her eyes. Oh. Got it.

Samuel stopped in front of Laila, eyes bright like a wolf looking for praise. “Have you had breakfast?”

Laila glanced at him and said nothing.

Pearl beamed beside her and answered for her. “Not yet, Your Highness.”

Samuel’s lips curved. He reached out and took Laila’s hand. “Come on. I’ll take you somewhere good.”

Laila froze for a second.

Samuel’s palm was dry, steady, and strong, and its warmth seeped into her skin.

She looked down at their joined hands. She didn’t pull away, but she didn’t move either.

“I’m coming too.” Viola jogged over from behind, slightly out of breath. “I haven’t eaten either.”

Samuel’s brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

He wanted to refuse. The word “no” was already at the tip of his tongue.

“Viola, let’s all go together.” Pearl jumped in quickly and looped her arm through Viola’s. “I know a place nearby with amazing food. I’ll take you.”

Viola brightened. “Really? Great.”

Samuel shot Pearl a look, a flicker of approval in his eyes.

“Let’s go.” He tugged Laila gently.

Laila suddenly spoke. “All of us.”

She glanced at Viola, then at Pearl. “The four of us.”

Pearl’s smile froze.

Inside, she sighed. Ms. Conlay, do you even know how to date?

The four of them set off together.

Samuel walked beside Laila, their shoulders nearly brushing. But as they went, Laila subtly shifted away. Not obviously. Just a natural step closer to Pead easing the distance from too close to politely spacech,

Samuel frowned and edged closes

Laila shifted again toward Pearl.

Samuel moved closer again.

Laila smoothly circled around and ended up on Pearl’s other side, turning Pearl into a human shield.

Pearl was stuck in the middle, Samuel’s cooling gaze on one side, Laila’s calm profile on the other, cold sweat breaking out across her back.

She felt like a piece of meat between two wolves.

All the way there, Samuel didn’t get a chance to talk to Laila.

She was either chatting with Pearl or talking with Viola, or greeting someone they passed. Anyone but him.

She was deliberately keeping her distance.

Samuel had no idea what he had done wrong.

At the restaurant, the four of them sat down.

Laila chose a seat diagonally across from Samuel, the farthest one possible. She picked up the menu and studied it seriously, never once meeting his eyes.
