“Who is she, Nathan?” Her eyebrows arched as she sat beside him. “Her face looks familiar but I can't remember where I saw her. Is she your new girlfriend?”
As I lifted my eyes to hers, Shannon’s eyes oozed with jealousy and it bore a hole through my soul.
She scanned me from head to toe, from my flowing black hair to the long-sleeved cocktail dress I was wearing to my high heels.
Beta Nathan froze at the question. He glanced back at me, his eyes shifting as if remembering he brought me with him. “Yeah—No. The Alpha's little sister here, also my 'little sister', had quite a rough night yesterday so I brought her with me to cheer her up.”
I can't help but glare at Nathan, but my hard expression quickly melted away to irritation when I found out my Beta's eyes were wholly fixated on Shannon's chest during the entire conversation.
“I'm Morganne White. Alpha Jackson White's only sister.” I stretched out a hand to shake for formality purposes but she quickly grabbed two champagne glasses, holding them in each of her hands.
“As much as I'd like to shake your hand, both of my hands are occupied,” her lips split somewhere between a smirk and a grin. “I'm Shannon Price, Beta Nathan's ex-girlfriend.”
'Oh really? That's how she introduces herself? As someone's ex-girlfriend?!' my wolf mumbled but I immediately shushed her up.
Beta Nathan blushed in the corner of my eyes.
From the moment Nathan decided not to go public with our relationship because I’m the Alpha’s only sister, he always introduced me as his little sister—someone he was helping to look after. Someone he cared for but not always his top priority.
Only his closest friends knew of our true relationship. And my Alpha brother.
“Right, babe.” Nathan kissed me on the cheeks before I could refuse. “Shannon's my ex-girlfriend.”
'Babe? Did the Beta forget he introduced us as his little sister—’
My wolf immediately silenced when Nathan's hand slid from the surface of my back to the curve of my waist.
I sat on the other side of Nathan. And there was nothing I could do when Beta Nathan showered me with more kisses on my temple, at the crook of my neck, and at the back of my hand in front of Shannon.
“The Alpha's little sister and I are also engaged. We'll be married before everyone knows it.”
