"I want every juicy detail about your date with Mr. Hottest Alpha." I couldn't help but smile, remembering the way Damian had looked at me under the starlight. "It was... different." Lila groaned. "Different? That's all you're giving me? Come on, Bri!" I laughed, relenting. "Okay, okay. It was actually really sweet. He took me to this beautiful spot overlooking the town, all lit up with fireflies. We talked, we laughed... it was perfect." "And?" Lila pressed, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. I felt heat creep up my neck. "And... we kissed," I mumbled, unable to keep the giddy smile off my face. Lila squealed, bouncing in her seat
