LOGINChapter 143Nathan’s POV“You and Angelica huh?” Leo asks as I drive the boys to a teen club the next night. “Okay stop it was a hook up we are better as friends, we want to stay that way,” Trace sighs. “She doesn’t like the idea of a full on relationship.”“Angelica is only going to be tied down when you tie her down,” Andrew jokes.“You laugh but she is into that,” Trace confesses and we all cringe slightly. “TMI!” Leo yells making us all laugh.The club is jumping and we are living it up. Leo and Trace find girls while Andrew and I sit back.“This is crazy. Casey has me completely in knots. My Dad loves the idea. Calls it a match made in heaven. But it’s not a business deal. It’s my life and I want Casey. She is so guarded because her family is going to use her as a pawn. Didn’t arranged marriages go out with rooms lit with candles?” Andrew asks me.“In some cultures. In others it’s still practiced,” I answer trying not to laugh at him too much. Leo and I are only werew
Chapter 142Nathan’s POVWhen we get home Leo takes Victoria to Carrie’s apartment, but Carrie and I stay down in the lobby for a moment.“This was a dramatic night,” She teases.I pull her into my arms and hold her against my chest. “I am accepting Philly. Will you come too?”“Yes,” She smiles. “I will follow you to the ends of the earth.”We let our lips meet and hold each other close. “So you will go to prom with me?” I ask as I start to walk her to her apartment. Carrie rolls her eyes. “Do you really love me?”I pull her into another kiss. “Yes.”When we make it to her door I kiss her again before leaving her. Leo and I start back to your apartments. “You like Victoria?” I ask teasing him.“I do, but not in the can’t eat, can’t sleep, gotta mate her kind of way,” Leo is waiting for his mate like I was. “Makes perfect sense.”“So you still going to hold out for the one or are you and Carrie going to start fucking?”I laugh a little. “Honestly no idea. We shall have to se
Chapter 141Nathan’s POV“Do you have a ride home?” Carrie asks Victoria.She looks embarrassed again.“They all rode together in an SUV,” Carrie explains. “Nathan and I have his SUV, so ride with us.”“I’ll ride with yall too,” Leo says smiling. “Girls in the backseat.”I nod and hand Victoria my phone. “Can you put in your address?”She doesn’t say a word just takes the phone. And then hands it back.“Can I get your number?” Angelica asks. “I’ll share it with everyone.”“Add her to the group chat,” Casey says as she hugs Victoria. “Next time sit by me and you won’t have to choke down raw meat.”“Hey our next meet up is sushi,” Andrew reminds Casey. “Maybe by then you will have accepted me and we can go a couple.”We all stop and look between Casey and Andrew. Leo gently pulls Victoria away so everyone can see Andrew touch Casey’s cheek. “Fine,” Casey giggles. “You have been a good boy. You deserve a chance. But only one Andrew. If you…”Andrew cuts her off by pressing his
Chapter 140Trace, Leo, Andrew, Angelica, Carrie, and I all pull up his contact waiting for instructions. We look at Casey making her smile. She helps Victoria sit between Trace and Leo. “He stood her up,” Casey tells us and we all hit text.“I’m sending, ‘Hey Loser! I’m having dinner with the prettiest girl. Your loss Asshole,’” Leo announces and then leans close to Victoria. “Smile, make him eat.”Victoria blushes and gives a small smile. “I’m sending ‘Unless you are laying in a hospital bed almost dead you could have sent a text. Blasting you on Socials is the least of what is going to happen. We don’t stand people up in the 21st century.’” Angelica hits send then pulls up her ultimate weapon, 3 million followers.“I’m kicking him out of the baseball team’s group chat,” Trace says. “I don’t want to be associated with someone who would do that. I’m also explaining to the other guys why.”“I am sending ‘Consider this a big fat hell no to the prom invite. No one deserves to put
Chapter 139Nathan’s POV“Hey Uncle Darrick you got a moment?” I ask as I pop my head into his office.“I always have a moment for you,” Uncle Darrick closes the notebook on his desk. “I will have a few drawings for you later.”“I will get them done, but as you know I’m not going to art school or computer programming. I’m a coder by training. I’ve worked with Beth and her team since I was able to read, but my heart isn’t in it,” I say taking a deep breath. Uncle Darrick waits for me to find my nerve. “I want to go to school for Financial Management I’ve been accepted at Boston University and Wharton. I am thinking Philly over Boston.”“Raija, Beth, Nick and Heniz might be ready to argue about that,” Darrick smirks. “So you want to come back here and work in our Finance Department like your Dad?”I shake my head. “I want to borrow from my trust, I want to play with my own money. I make it, I want to open my own firm. Manage other people’s money.”Uncle Darrick leans back. “You
ChapterNathan’s POV“He is going to be 18!” Leo announces to the entire school hallway as we are all trying to get to class. “Thank you for the preview,” I joke hitting his shoulder. Leo gets quiet because we go to a human high school. “Last day without a wolf, and possibly as a free man. I say we go out use our fakes and get wasted.”I look at him with very little patience. “And then your Dad and mine see us wasted in the courtyard. They turn their backs and let our mothers punish us. No thank you.”“Mama is a buzzkill.”“She just loves you, and wants the best for you,” I tell him and he scoffs.“Aunt Britt used to be the fun Aunt, but since I am,” he changes his voice to mock Britt, “becoming more and more like my father, I need to fix myself before I wreck my self.”I laugh because the two most unlikely females on earth to become best friends have in fact become best friends, which means Leo and his brothers, Karl and Drake, have four mothers! Aunt Raija, my mom, their act
