'You should stop now; you are drunk," Kia warned, giving the man a sign to stop pouring his drink.
'It seems like you have forgotten your oath just in a few minutes." Liam threatened glaring at Kia.
'Know your place." He said and reached out his hand, taking the bottle of wine from the waiter.
'You rather listen to him, than listen to me?" Liam asked the confused man who had this fright on his face with a stance ever ready to bolt out of his position.
'I am sorry Alpha, I…"
'Get out!" Liam ordered, the fire in his yellow orbs blazing even more as the man ran out immediately.
Taking another stick of cigar, Liam was about to light when a strong perfume hit his nostrils.
'Let me do that for you, Alpha Liam." The coquettish voice said, making him pause his actions and give a frown before looking up at the owner of the voice.
She had bent with the lighter lit, ready to light the cigar when the wide eyes and flaming ears and check of the Alpha caught her attention.
Liam, who was thunderstruck at the face of whom he was seeing, left his jaw open, the stick of cigar falling straight out of his mouth and the empty glass shattering on the floor, startling both of them, including Kia, who watched on with confusion.
'Are you alright Alpha?" Harper asked, reaching out to try poking the Alpha's eyes at least to get him to blink.
'What are you doing?" Kia asked the waitress who was initially waiting on him.
'What do you think I am doing?" She asked back, her voice tight with bubbling annoyance.
'You know him?" Liam asked pointing towards Kia.
'No, Alpha Liam," Harper responded, glaring at Kia.
'I met him because I had to wait on him." She gave a wide smile and one crooked tooth.
'Ooh! Wait on him?" Liam's confused face looked extremely cute with his muscled arms right within her reach.
'How? Did he make you do it Love?" Liam's hand was reaching for her face.
Taking the opportunity, she leaned in, shaking her head. 'He did not."
Uncomfortable with what was going on, Kia went behind Harper, pinching her clothes and a bit of her skin to get her out of there, but she just swatted his hand like he was an annoying fly hovering around her open injury.
'You don't have to suffer ever again Sweet." Liam's eyes were looking desperately and intently into hers.
'Excuse us Alpha." The head cleaner called the attention of Liam, seeking permission to go ahead with the cleaning, the glass might pierce into anyone's feet.
'Go ahead," Liam told them, gently shifting Harper away from the bristle of their brushes.
'Go sit down there, but beware of him," Liam whispered into her ears but pointed towards Kia and Harper nodded in understanding.
Sitting down comfortably under the examination of the Alpha, Harper began devising plans to get this done quicker in her head.
'What are you doing Harper?" Kia asked between his teeth to avoid Liam suspecting something.
'Again?" She rolled her eyes.
'Just sit back and watch. It seems he is mistaking me for someone else." Harper said a sly smile on her lips.
Looking at her in a moment of confusion, Kia's eyes finally widened in realization. Frantically, he shook his head at her.
'You shouldn't do this Harper, don't do this to me."
'What do you mean Kia? We are not even mated." Harper responded, still exchanging smiles with Liam, who wasn't done with his inspection yet.
'Come here, Sweet," Liam called sweetly and gently
'Yes, Dear," Harper responded shyly, which didn't fit at all; it was the opposite of her personality.
Standing up, she shook Kia's hand off hers earning a narrowed look from Liam.
'He was just trying to get a bug off my hand," Harper told Liam quickly before rushing over to stand before him.
'Sit." He tapped on his lap and she hurriedly did so.
'You are still as kind as ever, Moon," Liam said, his index finger tracing the outline of her lips.
Rubbing his chest slowly, she smiled to his face in response.
Tracing his hand into her massive, short, curly brown hair, he exhales in pleasure. 'I have always wanted to do this.
'Yeah, Babe." She whispered into his ear earning a groan from him.
Kia had stood to his feet, his fingers clenching and unclenching themselves while looking at Liam do whatever he wanted to Harper.
Looking into the pool of her green eyes, he squinted, and her heartbeat spiked up a bit.
'But something is wrong," Liam said and Kia had a deep breath of relief.
'How so?" She asked, the panic raw in her voice.
'She has long curly brown hair, but yours is short and fuller."
'What do you mean by ' yours"?" Harper asked, faking anger.
'I am flustered." Harper cried.
'You take a replacement for me whenever I am out?" She had her hand on her chest.
'No, just saying." Liam.
'Did you cut your hair?" His hand combed her hair again she nodded enthusiastically, running her fingers over the taunt muscle under his shirt.
'Did you fall?" He asked again with a frown on his brow.
'Your tooth is crooked." Liam's loosed mouth spewed and Harper's face twisted into an ugly frown.
'Pfftt!" Kia's hand held his mouth to avoid laughing out loud and it earned him a good look of disapproval from Harper.
Forcing a smile on her face, she nodded, 'I fell in your absence."
'It still hurt, would you want to make the hurt go away?" She asked Liam, her eyes on Kia.
'Yes, Dear." Liam, whose head had begun to spin, not allowing him to know his wrong from his right, said.
She bent and licked his lips before putting a distance between them with a coy smile on her lips.
Groaning like a hungry lion, Liam brought her closer to his with a force that drew a little yelp from her and fiercely covered his lips on hers, his hands grabbing her buttocks and lifting her to stride him.
Kia looked at their exchange with his feet planted firmly to the floor, his lips tightened into a thin line, his chest heaving, his eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched.
He had his mind fixed on attacking Liam and bringing him to his senses; after all, it was his fault for throwing a party for Liam when he knew Liam sucked at holding his liquor.
He imagined his hand coiling around her neck, seeing the white of her eyes and the foamy liquid coming out of partly opened lips. They had been dating for years!
Was it always her goal to be noticed by the Alpha when all he had ever done was give in to her every desire just to make her happy? Was this why she wanted the relationship to be kept a secret?
Taking up an empty bottle just beside him, Kia didn't care for the secret eyes that might be watching. He raised the bottle above his head, made to run towards the duo who were passionately kissing when a sharp pain shot through his heart to his head, keeping him fixated.
Letting out a growl of pain, Kia's hand loosened its grip on the bottle and his hands held his head in pain, little tears escaping his open and red eyes.
