The Alpha's Abused Mate novel Chapter 18

I entered the kitchen. Eric was dancing with his headphones on

''Good morning'' I greeted

''Good morning. TGIF baby!''

I laughed

''Hey, I need to talk to you'' I told him

He removed his headphones

''What's up?''

We sat at the dining table

''I kinda need your help''

''I'm listening''

''We're having prom in my school next Wednesday''

''And?''

''I asked Damien to go with me but he refused saying how it isn't good for his reputation''

He nodded

''True''

''He said I should take you''

''So? I don't see a problem here''

I told him everything about how Jake asked me to prom till yesterday's event.

''Oh I get it now''

''I need to take you as cover. He can't know I'm going with Jake''

He was quiet

''You sure you wanna keep this from him?''

''Yeah, at least for now''

''Okay" he shrugged "I'll help you''

I squealed and hugged him

''Thank you so much''

He chuckled

'''Anything for you b''

''What are you thanking him for?''

It was Damien. I quickly pulled away from Eric

''He um I was thanking him for offering me a ride to school''

''Yeah" Eric grinned "things I do for friendship''

As I walked through the cafeteria I spotted Jake sitting alone. I went over and sat next to him

''Hey'' he said

''Hello''

''I haven't seen you all day''

''Aww, did someone miss me?''

I pinched his cheek

''Maybe''
