Chapter 169
Book Two Fifteen
Tessa
It’s been a week since I let Aspen fully into my life. I couldn’t be happier. He is such a gentleman. I came home from work that night and found a new bed in my room. It was bigger and way more comfortable than the one I had. I’m actually surprised we didn’t break it from all our naked activities. It was covered in rose petals, with a note from him. ‘Now, there’s more room and less fear of us ending on the floor, x Aspen.’ I kept the note. I loved his carefree sense of humor.
Sarah was impressed with him as well. After the first night, he made a point to feed me and take me to work. She was hesitant about me dating the future alpha, but he wasn’t like any other alpha I have known. She was also enjoying the bed when he didn’t spend the night.
“Stop daydreaming.” Sarah nudged me. I was waiting behind the counter of the diner we both worked at waiting for my food order. I just smiled and bit my bottom lip.
“You make me want to puke,” she faked a gag and I chuckled.
“Jelly.” I taunted and she huffed, going back to her half of the tables.
My face lit up when Aspen walked in, followed by Landon, the future. beta, and someone else I didn’t know. I was thankful we weren’t busy and I could take my time with him.
He leaned his elbows on the counter while the other two took an empty booth.
“Hey, gorgeous,” he purred, wiggling his brow at me.

“Will you stop? I’m working,” I scolded with a smile and his face lit up.
“F uck, you’re se y in that uniform.” I snorted a laugh, before clapping a hand over my mouth.
“You are so delusional,” I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
“Go sit down and I’ll be right there,” I told him when my food was placed in the window by one of the cooks in the kitchen. He grabbed his chest like I offended him
I shook my head but I couldn’t stop smiling.
I finished up with my tables, making sure everyone had a refill. Sarah caught me behind the counter.
“Who is the other guy?” she whispered. I shrugged. I know it wasn’t a good thing to get the attention of the future alpha. This could all blow up in my face, and then Sarah and I would be forced to keep running.
I walked over to the booth and Aspen pulled me to sit beside me. Landon and the other one were sitting across from us.
“Going on break?” Sarah called out and I glared at her. Aspen moved my hair and kissed my neck and I moved my glare to him. He had wrapped an arm around me.
“I’m working, stop.” I scolded, with a chuckle. He gave me to cutest pout.
“Not going to introduce us, brother?” The one I did know said. I turned my attention to the two men across from us.
“Tessa, this is my brother Channing. Channing this is Tessa.” I extended my hand to shake his.
“It’s nice to meet you,” I smiled. I looked behind me and Sarah

mouthed Oh my go d, to me while fanning her face.
“I think he broke Sarah,” Aspen whispered and I burst into laughter. Landon and Channing turned around and she ducked under the counter.
“I can see you have a hold over my brother,” Channing smirked. “If you are being held against your will, blink twice,” he chuckled.
“What?” I stammered, looking at Aspen. He seemed to be having a silent conversation with his brother. Landon started laughing.
“He’s kidding. Tessa, don’t worry, these two are always joking around,” Landon told me.
“Good to know.” I smiled at Landon. “Same as always?” I asked him.
“I’ll take a little bit of Sarah too,” he grinned and I laughed.
“I’ll let her know.”
“If you two are finished with whatever this is, I need to put in your order.” I looked between the brothers.
“I’ll take what he’s having.” Channing broke eye contact with his brother first. I looked up at Aspen.
“Usually, please.” he smiled down at me. He pecked my lips.
“I’ll be right back, and I’ll bring Sarah,” I winked at Landon.
Before I could wiggle out of the booth, Aspen pulled me close and whispered in my ear. I know the wolves across from us could hear him.
“You are mine tonight,” I bit my lip as my core heated. I clamped my thighs together.
Sarah saved me by calling for me. I pecked Aspen on the lips before leaving the table.
“Bro, you have it bad,” I heard Channing say and I grinned as I walked towards Sarah. She gave me a knowing look and I shrugged.
I sent her over with their drink order while I handled the rest of the tables. Most were getting ready to leave. Sarah was still at their booth chatting by the time their food was in the window.
“Now, who’s taking a break,” I smirked as I placed down the three orders of burgers and fries. Sarah stood up from her seat beside Aspen.
“I’ll get started on the nightly stuff. Hopefully, we can get out of this place earlier. Bye boys,” she walked around me, giving me a smirk and patting my shoulder. Great, what did she tell them? I didn’t get a chance to ask her before Aspen pulled me down to sit beside him again.
“How was work today?” he asked, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
“It was good. the coffee shop was busy so that part of my day went by quickly.” I looked at my watch. “Now, only a few more hours to go.” I smiled as I looked at him. I rested my check on my hand, resting my elbow on the tabletop.
“And what have you three been up to?”
“Handing out with Channing before he heads back to college,” Aspen mumbled, his mouth full of food. I looked at his brother.
“Exciting, what are you taking?” I asked him.
“Pre-med.”
“You want to be a doctor?”

“This guy is going to be a surgeon,” Landon exclaimed.
“It’s not as exciting as it sounds.” Channing shook his head.
“Your parents must be proud. An alpha and a surgeon in the family.” Aspen pulled me close and I turned to look at him. His brother was hot, but nothing compared to the future alpha holding me close. I’ve known him for over a month now, and even though it was too soon to
say the three little words. I knew I was falling in love with him.
