CHAPTER 8 Alpha Blood

  Jason's POV

  "Honestly, Mrs..." I started to say, but the feisty older woman who had my arm in a death grip interrupted me. 

  "Alice! Everyone calls me Alice. My husband was a deadbeat in life; I refuse to be connected to him in death too." The way she spoke, so matter of factly, had me hiding a smile.

  "I bet you she killed him," Archer chuckled, taking a liking to the older woman. 

  "What gave it away, buddy? Her smile as she said he was dead, or the skip in her step." I laughed, letting the woman turn me around to face her; with a final look, I watched the redhead disappear into the distance with the insolent prick. Archers whining, distracting me from Alice. 

  Turning my attention back to a waiting Alice, embarrassment crossed my features, noticing the knowing look on her face. Without a word, she looked behind me in the direction her companions had just gone and back at me.
