chapter 2

I shake the thought of my son out of my head and walk back to the office, where both women are chatting away.

"your done already?" Sally pouts at me and I grin back at her.

"yep, tell him if he keeps this up I'll charge him extra." she giggles, Mulan and I smile at her and watch as she stands up and hands over the cash to my cousin who quickly puts it away.

"so are you guys coming to the pack party tonight? Colton says there are a few Alphas coming with there mates and the alpha king will be there to." Sally was beyond excited about this party, I saw Mulan quickly look my way then back at Sally. I showed no emotion and just stared at the tiny girl who was talking away about other crap with the pack.

"I'm not going." I tell them, Mulan shows me her sad pitting eyes but I ignore her. Sally now has her mouth wide open.

"But you have to, everyone in the pack has to go." I raise and eye brow at her words, it took a few seconds for her to realise just what she said and her head goes down as her cheeks turn red.

"I forgot your not in our pack." I smile and place my hand on her shoulder.

"I have my Dad's pack to rely on and because they don't have to be there then neither do I." she nodded and hugged me tight, I just stood there in shock, staring at my cousin who was trying not to laugh at me.

"well I better go, I'll talk to you both later." before we could reply she was out the door climbing up the truck and then pulled out of the shop.

"are you really not going?" my cousin ask in a soft voice.

"I will be busy, I have the car show on tonight." and for once I was glade I had to attend the car show.

"do you want me to come with you?" I walk out to the kitchen and hear her following me.

"that's up to you dear cousin, it's only a show it starts at 8pm if you do decide you want to come." even though I gave her the offer I knew she would end up at the pack dinner as her mate is the delta in their pack. I grabbed my now full coffee cup and went back out to the workshop to finish off the painting on a Lamborghini. the owner decided he wanted a hand painted tiger with its claws running across the bonnet of the car.

taking a deep breath, I grab my brush and start. where I had finished off yesterday. I got so into the painting that i didn't realise it was already 6pm out side, until my cousin taps my shoulder to get my attention and then flashes her phone in my face.

"shit" I grabbed my stuff and lock up, we both jumped in the car and flew off towards my little blue house with steel fencing around it. As she pulls up I tell a bye and race up to the door. I didn't have time to stop, I jump into the shower and wash the paint and grease off my body and out of my hair.

after I wrapped the towel around my body i brush my hair and put it up into a high ponytail with a few stands to curl around my face and then curl a few pieces in the ponytail, I then put some mascara and eye liner on with a touch of gloss to my lips.

I raced to my room and put on my black lace underwear then chucked on my black and silver strapless dress that has a split on one side. once I put my silver high heels on, I look at the time to see it was time to leave, I got into my ford f350 ute and drove off towards the car show. thankfully it didn't take me long to get there and when I did, I noticed it was already full of people and fancy cars. As I made my way to the front entrance a hand grabbed my arm stopping me in my tracks.

I look up at the person to see dark brown eyes staring back at me, my mouth drops open as I watch a smirk cross his lips.

"so this is where you've been hiding out?" his deep voice growled out in a playful manner making me laugh.

"I was never hiding dear beta." he growls out when I mention his status and then surprises me by grabbing my arm and lacing it through his, before I could object he was walking us both through the main doors. every single soul in the room stopped dead and turned to watch us as we walked down the stairs into the room. it was like they had all frozen as their eyes widen once they saw the king's beta standing beside me.
