"Ah, yes. I’ve heard you have a book club with Ayla and Stella." We talked a bit about books, and I wasn't surprised to find that Ethan read mostly non-fiction. Conversation flowed easily between us as we ate our food, which was delicious. I asked him about growing up in the Libra pack and learned that he wasn't the son of an alpha, like Kaden, Jordan, and Wesley, but had won the position instead. He mentioned he always wished he'd had siblings, and I learned that he liked to watch baking shows to unwind, which made me giggle. "What?" he asked, pretending to be offended. "They're relaxing." "Do you ever do any baking of your own?" I asked. "Of course not," he said with a laugh. "I'm completely useless in a kitchen." I loved the sound of his laugh and wished I could hear it more often.
