“We’re here to work,” I tell him, backing her up.
She grins. “See? We’ll be good.”
He mutters under his breath again. This time I have no idea what he’s saying.
Clearly, he’s exasperated by Katie’s attitude.
I like her sense of humor, and her enthusiasm.
It’s going to be fun working with her.
I didn’t think working could be like that.
She comes around the counter and takes my hand.
“Come and see what’s happening.”
I follow her over to the double doors that lead out to the ballroom.
She pushes one door open slightly, just enough to let us see into the other room.
“Ugh,” she murmurs. “Alphas are just so … I mean, I know they’re usually creeps or assholes, but still … That energy they have is crazy-hot.”
She lets out a longing sigh, resting her head against the door.
I look out across the room, but I don’t see what she sees.
It’s just a room with some men in it now.
I don’t feel excited about that.
Not even …
My thought drifts away as I look past the seating area to the two men who are just coming into my line of sight. An odd feeling crashes over me as I gaze at them.
Is this DeJa’Vu?
I’ve seen the taller Alpha before.
I don’t know how I know him. I just know I do.
His face is too handsome and sullen to ever forget.
That stubbled jaw and those deep-set eyes …
I’ve looked into those eyes, from much closer than this.
They were kind, and the light gray color was so unusual that I couldn’t tear my gaze away.
The tinge of memory slips away as quickly as it came.
I must have met him before.
I wish I could remember …
Who is he?
I’m still wondering as my gaze drifts over his friend.
