Well, she definitely gets better quickly.

Oh so suddenly you do believe her heat was a factor that affected her decision making ability?

I know. Maybe it would help to remember why you loathed him in the first place. It would help make you feel a lot less bad about this.

And how many times were you drunk because Phoebe made you feel like worthless trash, after rejecting and humiliating you in public? Oh right, that never happened. Funny how you focused on the alcohol, but not on you rejecting and humiliating her.

And how many Alphas would have never made it to the history books if the same thing was dealt to them for cheating on their Luna? How many of those Alphas can even say they did it after being rejected and publicly humiliated, and in heat, and drunk? Keane, it sucks, but you gotta admit if you had done the same that night with only alcohol as an excuse, no one would be giving you this much 💩 about it as everyone has given Phoebe. Definitely no one would have suggested anything close to "hey, that could have gotten you hanged for it". (I absolutely love the world building here, btw. It feels so alive that I can get on a soapbox over its society's issues.)

Helanie: It's ok. I'm used to hearing this about Lamar.

Lamar's middle name is Casanova.

in a public place*

Aaaassnd Helanie is going to walk in on them any moment now because this is her fate: to always walk in on Lamar because he can't keep it in his pants in a private place!

Oh oh oh OH! Am I smelling an incoming ship?!
