The Alpha novel Chapter 31

Ethan's POV

It is several minutes of us just lying there in silence before she finally speaks. "So, did you ever end up catching the rest of Ray's thugs?"

"We have three of them right now. They are all locked up. None of them have been particularly helpful, but we're keeping them alive until we can find the other two," I answer as I notice her fingers gently playing with the diamond hanging around her neck.

"Which two are you still looking for?"

"The twins you told me about, Ryder and Rowan," I reply as I think about her description of them. They are just a couple years older than Scarlet. They have always needed someone to follow though they are both smarter than the others in their group. They are almost identical except that they have different hair styles and Rowan's is slightly darker. Ryder has a scar on his left eyebrow.

She nods, her face scrunching up a bit, causing her nose to crinkle. I can't help but to smile at her. I run a finger between her brows, smoothing out the crease that has formed between them. "Don't worry angel. We'll find them," I assure her. She turns to me and smiles softly before placing a sweet kiss to my lips. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound fills the silence and I cock an eyebrow at Scarlet. "Was that your stomach?"

Her cheeks blush a gorgeous pink and she give me an embarrassed grin. "Yeah. I haven't eaten all day."

"Seriously?" I ask, surprised. She shrugs and nods at me in response. "Okay, let's get cleaned up then and go down to the pack house for some dinner."

"Sounds good."

We arrive in the dining hall about an hour later and an Omega instantly approaches us. "Good evening Alpha, Luna! What would you like for dinner?"

I take a quick glance around to see what was served before turning back to her. "I'll have the steak with mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. Coffee to drink," I answer.

"I'll have the same, but instead of the potatoes can I have some fruit? And a sweet tea to drink please," Scarlet replies.
