“Oh, Wolf’s sister?”

“Yeah.”

She shifted closer. “Are you with her?”

“No.”

“Good to know.”

“What’s good to know?” a new voice said. A voice I knew, one my sleeping dick perked up at. The motherfucker.

“Wolf, it’s good to see you,” Elise said, tilting her head back and lifting to her toes to kiss Wolf’s cheek. His light hair brushed his shoulders as he looked at me. Why did I like the new colour?

My gut clenched.

Seriously, I had to see a doctor about that.

“You also, Elise. I see you’ve got your sights set on our guest here.”

Elise giggled, while I glared at Wolf, since it was his fault for the havoc in my gut. He smirked back at me.

“I mean, who wouldn’t want to?” Elise said.

I went to look at her, but Wolf’s “Indeed” had my gaze shooting straight back to him. I realised from his smug smile a second too late that’s what he was looking for—my attention on him.

Straightening, I glanced to see Mimi still entertained. “Fuck, I don’t need this shit,” I muttered to myself. Louder, I said, “I’m gettin’ a drink.” I walked off without another word, even when Elise called out to me.

What the fuck was going on with me?

I needed not only my body examined, but my head as well. I shouldn’t care that Wolf was back to messing with me.

Chapter Seven

Ruin

Iwandered around while keeping close to Mimi and dodging Wolf and the mountain of women who rubbed themselves on him. Not that I cared. I didn’t. Hell, it was probably the hair that got the women’s attention in the first place.

Honestly, I’d had enough of hanging around fake people. It was all rich people talking crap about one another. I hadn’t even seen Ryo at his own party. Hoping Mimi felt the same, I made my way over to her. I weaved through the crowd even though I wanted to shove people out of the way, simply because that was the type of mood I was in. Not only was I irritated that I didn’t know what the hell was going on inside me, but I was also pissed that Wolf drew out any type of reaction.

Mimi saw me coming and smiled. It was radiant. She was enjoying herself. I couldn’t drag her away all because I wasn’t. I forced a grin and curled an arm around her shoulders as I caught sight of an open door, a breeze blowing the curtain inwards.

“Are you all right?” Mimi asked.

I could feel eyes on us, but I didn’t give a fuck what they thought of me, and Mimi wasn’t fazed I had an arm around her. “I’m all good, babe. Just wanted to let you know I’m gonna get some air over there.”

“Okay, I’ll be done here soon.”

I shook my head and tugged her closer. “Nah, honey, take your time. I’m good.”

She rolled her eyes. “Go get your air, Ruin.”

I winked and walked off, but I heard behind me, “Is he yours?”

Mimi laughed. “No, we’re friends. He’s here from home to keep me company.”

“I could have a baby or two with him,” someone said, and they all laughed.

Shaking my head, I smiled despite the sour mood. At the door, I went to move the curtain out of the way to get out, but I heard voices first and froze.
