. I highly doubt it. Thank you, Wes. Lachlan always liked Wes.The man came offas scary, with his shaved head, mocha-colored skin, and his heavilymuscled body that constantly seemed to be flexing.Wes liked to giveoff the impression he d rather punch a person than talk to them, but itwas all for show.Wes s enchanting green eyes always gave him Garrett s Choice 41away.Behind his rough exterior was a gentle man that had treatedLachlan with nothing but respect since the day they had met. But it s true, Victor spoke up. He came out of nowhere and hitJosh. How do you like my cat reflexes now, son? Lachlan couldn thelp but tease the two wolves.The old saying You mess with fire,you re going to get burned must have gone unheard by thesejokesters. Okay, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Lachlan could see Weswas fighting back his laughter.His chin trembled in between hiswords. Go get cleaned up, then come down for supper.As Victor helped Josh to his feet, Lachlan made like he was goingto take a step toward them, and Josh flinched back.At that he andWes looked at one another and let loose with their merriment.They made their way down the stairs and headed toward thedining hall.He looked over when Wes nudged his shoulder with hisown. That little shit had it coming.I m glad you finally gave it tohim. Ah it was nothing. Lachlan brushed off Wes s praise. No, it was, and I m glad you finally put that little prick in hisplace.I don t know if you ve met Josh s dad, but that guy is ten timesworse than his kid.Lachlan thought back and tried to remember if Josh s dad was oneof the wolves he d helped Garrett question. I don t think I ve had thepleasure. Good, then don t.You think his kid s a prejudiced little fuck,daddy s got a doctorate in assholism. I ll keep that in mind.When he and Wes entered the dining room, most of the wolvesthat lived in the alpha s house were already seated.Lachlan glancedaround looking for an open seat that wasn t directly next to someone. 42 AJ Jarrett Lachlan, over here, Wes said as he guided Lachlan toward thehead of the table where Garrett sat. Hey, you two. Garrett stood to greet them. Everything okay?Just then Josh came barreling into the room.The swelling in hisnose had already started to go down. He hit me, Josh accused as hecame to a stop on the other side of Garrett. Did he now? Garrett looked at Josh then looked towardLachlan. What did he say? The question was directed to Lachlan.Everyone in the room had their eyes on Lachlan.He felt a littlesilly repeating what Josh had said.Plus it was degrading to Lachlan asa person and as a lion shifter.Lachlan darted his eyes down the length of the table. He calledme a wittle kitty and asked why I was out without my master. A fewmuffled laughs echoed in the quiet room, and Lachlan cringed with apinch of embarrassment and a pinch of anger that anyone would laughat such an insult.Right before his and everyone else s eyes, Garrett smacked Joshupside the back of his head.Josh yelped in pain, and the whole roomwent quiet.Lachlan looked from Garrett to Wes, who looked pleasedwith Garrett s reaction. Let this be a warning to any and all wolves who treat my matewith disrespect.It will not be tolerated.If you don t like it, by allmeans pack up and move on. Garrett ran his narrow-eyed stare downone length of the table and up the other side.Lachlan followed hisstare, gauging the reaction of the wolves sitting around the table. Feel free to spread the word.Garrett gave one last final stare, daring anyone to say a word. Please, Lachlan, have a seat. With that Garrett sat down and pulledhis napkin into his lap.Lachlan stood there gaping at what his mate had just done.Garretthad never stood up for him like that in front of the other wolvesbefore.A little more of the brick wall surrounding his heart began tocrumble to dust. Garrett s Choice 43Chapter FiveAfter dinner Lachlan said his good-nights and headed out of thedining room.Garrett had stayed back to talk with Josh for all the goodit would do.Josh was young and thought he knew it all.Lachlanpitied the young man his ignorance.Karma was a bitch, and it alwayscame back tenfold [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
