more, the waitress.
Before I could say anything with a bottle of red wine and a couple of glasses.
“The best wine we have tonight is the Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac,” she told him, her eyes never leaving his.
He nodded.
“Sounds great,” he said. “Can you poor my date a glass first.”
The waitress frowned and glanced in my direction. I gave her a fake smile, leaning back in my y seat. She straightened her posture and poured me a glass of wine; the red elixir glistening from the crystal glass and the illuminating lighting of the chandelier above us.
She turned her attention back to Walter and her expression softened; that flirty smile returned as she poured him a glass.
“Is there anything else I can get for you?” She asked, putting her hand on his bicep.
He glanced at her hand with a frown, and then he took her hand into his, promptly removing her hand from his arm. She frowned at the gesture.
“Let’s try to remain professional, shall we?” He asked corking his eyebrow up. “There’s no need to be disrespectful towards my date.”
She straightened her posture, and I saw her face turning beat red.
“I… uh…” she stammered.
“Just check on our meals,” he ordered, waving her away dismissively.
She swallowed and then quickly hurried away from the table. He sighed and met my eyes.
“I’m sorry I didn’t notice that earlier,” he said with a kind smile. “I promise, the rest of the evening, I’ll try my best to make sure you are comfortable.”
“I truly appreciate that, Walter,” I told him, and I meant that.
“Let’s
V the rest of the evening,” he said, lifting his wine glass in the air. I smiled and lifted mine in the air. We clinked the glasses together and we both took a sip.
Third Person POV
Judy was so preoccupied with her date with Walter, that she couldn’t feel Ethan glaring at the back of her head. He was fuming in his seat; Irene was babbling about something that didn’t interest him in the least. All he could think about was Judy and how she could possibly be on a date with another man.
Then again, he was on a date with a woman. The very woman he left his fated mate for; but it was all for good reason. At least, that’s what he told himself. His wolf was still aggravated over the fact that he broke up with their fated mate for another she–wolf, but it was all so Ethan could become the new Alpha of the Redmoon pack.

Once Ethan got everything he wanted, his wolf would be happier.
But that also included Judy; he wanted Judy, and he wasn’t going to stop until he got her in that house he bought for her.
“Are you even listening to me?” Irene asked, folding her arms across her chest.
Ethan blinked a few times, forgetting that Irene was talking to him and not hearing a single thing she had just said.
“Of course I am,” he lied.
“Then, what did I say?” She asked, raising her brows.
He hesitated, which was enough for her to know that he didn’t hear a word of what she said.
“Something about the wedding?” He guessed.
She rolled her eyes and put her napkin on her almost empty plate.
“I think I’ve had enough,” she murmured. “I’d like to go home now.”
He frowned at her.
“Why are you acting like this?” He asked her.
“Acting like what?”
“Immaturely,” he answered. “If there’s a problem, you should tell me.”

“I could say the same to you,” she retorted. “You haven’t been yourself since meeting Judy. Is there something I need to know about? Did something happen between the two of you?”
His eyes grew large; was he being that transparent? He needed to be careful if he wanted to become the Alpha.
“Of co
course not, Irene. I only have eyes for you,” he assured her.
“Then why haven’t you been able to stop staring at her?” She asked through her teeth.
“I’m not staring at her,” he denied.
“I don’t believe you,” she said, shaking her head; tears glistened in her eyes.
“Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this here,” he told her, dropping his voice to a whisper. “How about I pay the bill and then we leave here? We can talk more in the car.”
She hesitated, but then gave him a curt nod.
“I’ll be outside waiting,” she said, standing to her feet and walking away, leaving Ethan staring after her trying to figure out how he was going to talk himself out of this.
Meanwhile, Walter had also noticed Ethan staring at Judy during the entire date and it was aggravating him. He knew that Judy and Ethan had some kind of history that she didn’t want disclosed. But his curiosity was getting the best of him, so he opened a mindlink between him and his Beta.

“Max,” he said through the mindlink.
“I’m here,” Max replied almost immediately. “Everything okay?”
“I need you to find out everything you can about Ethan Cash,” Walter ordered. “He and Judy have a past and I need you to dig up all the information you can about it.”
