The Alpha's Mate Who Cried Wolf novel Chapter 15

"Shh, I can't hear the movie," I whisper. Ryker laughs.

I don't feel so afraid watching the movie in Ryker's arms anymore. Seth, Mia, Kane and Hayley arrive home just before the credits. They smile when they see me in Ryker's lap. When the movie finishes, I get up and go over to the others.

"I'm sorry about running away this morning, guys. I didn't mean to upset anyone." 

"It's fine, Luna. We didn't realise how new you are to all this. Seth filled us in. We felt so bad for upsetting you," Mia says. We exchange little smiles, and I hug Mia. 

"Ryker and I are going to watch another movie. You should join us," I tell them. 

"Sure," Hayley says. 

"Yep, sounds good!"Mia says. The boys follow suit, making themselves comfortable. Ryker smiles and pats his lap. He is happy we're watching another movie, so I snuggle into him. I can't refuse the offer if I try. His powerful arms and masculine chest are a very comfortable place to be. The girls can't decide on a movie, so I take the remote from Mia before pressing play on something random again. Of course, it's another horror film, to the boys' delight. We girls are not great with horror films. We keep screaming, jumping, and flinching. Having our mates holding us closer makes it all worth it. 

After the movie, right at dinner time, Alice still has a scowl on her face and tries to avoid me as much as she can. Ryker takes my hand and leads me outside, where we wander through the garden in the dark.

"Sit here and close your eyes for me," he says. I sit down with my legs crossed and my eyes closed. 

"What are you doing?" I ask.
