Chapter 13
“Please take out the trash,” I said to the security guard, who nodded and grabbed the guy by his collar, hauling him toward the exit.
“Everything good?“William suddenly appeared, making me jump slightly. Though he was supposedly addressing all of us, his eyes remained locked on Ama.
“Good, you finally made it.” Ama completely melted into his embrace, his arms wrapping tightly around her.
If Ama was his fated mate, that would be interesting. But I felt an inexplicable twinge of loneliness. I’d never experienced being looked at with such intense focus, the way William looked at Ama, as if she were the only person in the world.
“What’s going on here?” Logan and Ryder approached together. Both of them looked at William and Ama, who were lost in their own little world.
“I just handled some trash,” I said lightly, spreading my hands.
Keira saw Logan coming and hurried over, clinging tightly to his arm.“She basically neutered the guy,” Keira laughed.
Watching Keira’s intimate behavior with Logan now, and remembering what she’d said earlier, I mentally rolled my eyes.
“Are you okay?” Ryder asked, his green eyes searching my face.
“Yeah, I need another drink,” I replied, hoping alcohol would help calm the jumble of
emotions I was feeling.
“You’re welcome to join us,” Logan said to Ryder. Logan’s sudden invitation surprised me a
little.
“Thanks. Though I don’t think I could pull him away even if I wanted to,” Ryder said,
grabbing William’s arm to separate him from Ama while I pulled Ama along as we headed to the VIP room. Samuel and Leonard were nowhere to be seen.
