The Alpha's Bride

Werewolves normally don’t use weapons, so this was novel for both Keith and Arya.

The line behind them dispersed some time ago because Keith and Arya were super-competitive, and they were lost in besting the other, totally forgetting that this was a fair, and that others wanted a turn also.

”Are you guys having fun?” Talia asked.

Keith and Arya froze before turning to the voice to see Talia and Damon standing behind them.

”Yes,” Keith responded with a bow, and Arya quickly lowered her gaze. ”Thank you for sending a second shift so we could have fun at the fair.”

”Meg mind-linked that it’s close,” Talia said. ”We are heading to the pack hospital.”

”Do you want us to go with you?” Keith offered.

Talia refused. ”No need. Enjoy your evening, and don’t forget to eat something.” She was hinting that they should leave this booth for others to try shooting with an air gun.

At the mention of food, Damon remembered one thing. ”I will order ramen to-go. We can take it for guys in the hospital also.”

Talia approved. She remembered from the Summer Solstice event that ramen was delicious, yet she didn’t get a chance to eat it, yet. ”Do you think we should ask Chef Page to open a ramen restaurant in Darkbourne?” Then she can eat ramen anytime.

Damon shrugged. ”You can ask him if he is interested in cooking noodles full time.”

”Ramen is much more than cooking noodles.”

”Whatever you say, kitten…”

Keith and Arya looked after Talia and Damon, who blended with the crowd.

”They don’t look like Alpha and Luna,” Arya said.

”That’s what makes them special,” Keith responded proudly. ”They choose to belong with their people.”

Arya poked Keith’s ribs with her finger. Yes, Keith explained that his adoration for Talia was different from what he felt for Arya, and she knew it was true, but his tender feelings for another female stirred her jealousy.

Arya was still wrapping her head around the fact that Talia saved her life and how much Talia was responsible for bringing Keith and her together. Arya was not the one to owe favors, and it seemed that she owed Talia big time.

”Are we playing?” Keith asked Arya.

”I feel like ramen now. How about you?”

Keith had no objections. ”Alright. Let’s eat.”

Keith’s hand moved around Arya’s waist, pulling her toward him. ”How about we start with some appetizers? There is grilled corn and chestnuts.”

”We can keep those for dessert.”

Keith licked his lips slowly. ”I have something else on my mind for dessert.”

Arya’s eyes widened when she realized that he was talking about her. But then… he was her cotton candy, so she could have him for dessert as well.

”Let’s hurry up with food so we can have dessert.”

Keith laughed because her words were bold, but she was blushing profusely. And he was happy.
