“I’ll get the Uber,” Roger pulls out his phone. “I have an early start, so I’ll drop you off.”

A chill runs through me.

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Roger has lied to me and if Cole knows him, and Marshall knew he was military, then something is going on that I’m missing.

“I can get one of the guys who aren’t drinking to take you home, Trina.” Cole glances over at Josh who nods.

I stare between them. If this is some loyalty to Marshall, then I need to clear the air. I might like him a lot and feel like an asshole bringing Roger tonight, but we aren’t together.

Not like that.

Ryder, Josh, and Aidan might have met the loves of their lives, but it doesn’t mean I’m Marshall’s future wife.

I’m not letting you go. This is real. Stop running.

I feel the walls closing in on me, becoming dizzy as I flip from wanting to run into Marshall’s arms to running away.

But whatever choice I make, it has to be me mine. These alpha men need to step back and let me make my own decisions.

“I’m fine.” I grab Roger’s arm and steer him toward the door. “Enjoy your night.”

Passing Briar and Alice I tell them I’m not feeling well, and that Roger is dropping me home.

Alice wiggles her eyebrows.

God. No.

“Message us when you walk in the door,” Briar says, slowing her dance and looking concerned.

Ryder and Savannah are dancing and suddenly, as my eyes drift over her tight black pants and sheer black shirt, a thought crosses my mind.

I glance at Briar who blinks.

Oh my god.The chocolate nuts.

My mouth parts and Briar shakes her head, telling me to zip my lips. Confirming my suspicion is right.

“No way,” I gasp.

She glances back at her friend and boss, then presses her lips together.

I’m right.

Savannah and Ryder are pregnant. Holy hell. That is going to be huge Hollywood news.

“Trina!” Roger calls out.

I hug the girls then go to leave but Josh blocks my way, and I only just catch myself.

“Jesus. Can you be more of a brick wall?” I grip my phone in my hand against his huge arm.

“You leaving with him?” Josh glares as Roger watches from the door.

Goddamn alphas.

I’ve always been very independent and hated when people question me. I know he is trying to protect me, but it pushes my button.

I’m twenty-seven years old. I can look after myself. God knows my mother resigned from that job when Dad died.
