Caroline’s POV
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains as I stretched on my mattress in Eleanor’s living room. The delicious aroma of fresh coffee filled the apartment. Mabel had already prepared a beautiful breakfast spread for us. After our karaoke adventure last night, we’d all crashed in the living room, mattresses scattered across the floor like a teenage slumber party.
Little Liam came bounding into the room, his purple eyes bright with excitement as he jumped between us. "Mama! Auntie Elle!" he squealed, immediately becoming the center of attention as all the girls cooed over him.
"God, he gets cuter every day," Kyle said, ruffling his blonde hair. "Those eyes are killer. "
"Come on, Carrie," Kyle pressed, sipping her coffee."You have to choose eventually. Jax or Draven? The tension between those two last night was insane."
I sighed, pulling Liam onto my lap. "This has nothing to do with Jax."
"Carrie," Ruby interjected quickly, "Jax is my brother. I won’t let you hurt him. He really likes you."
"The way Draven sang to you though..." Ava sighed dreamily. "That was straight out of a romance novel."
"And the way he danced with you," Eleanor added, wiggling her eyebrows. "the possessiveness in those purple eyes when he looked at you!"
"Can we please talk about something else?" I groaned, burying my face in Liam’s hair. "Like how we’re going to spend our Saturday?"
Rory stirred inside me. "You know who you want," she whispered in my mind. "Our Alpha."
We were still laughing about last night when Ruby’s phone lit up. She put it on speaker.
"Good morning, little sister! Did you sleep well?"
"Very well, big brother!" Jax replied in a great mood. "Are you still at Caroline’s house?"
"Yes, I am. I’ll stay here a bit longer and head home after lunch, why?"
"Look, little sis, your friends ruined our night yesterday, so the guys and I thought you could make it up to us," Jax said in a playful voice.
"You boys are getting too comfortable!" Ruby replied sarcastically.
"Aw, Rubes, help your brother out," Jax said in a pleading tone.
"What do you want?"
"To invite you all to the Casino tonight, so we can play, talk, and have fun. We’ll pick you all up at home and take you back later." Jax was quite excited.
Ruby looked at us as if asking what we thought, and we all gave thumbs up saying yes.
"Alright, the girls are in. But we’ll go by ourselves and return home by ourselves. I don’t want any of you thinking you can get handsy just because you’re taking us home." Ruby was categorical.
"Rubes, we’re not those kinds of guys. But okay, and thank you. Meet at seven?"
"And I don’t want you becoming those kinds of guys either! See you there. But you call and make the reservations."
