“Come on Eric, is that how you greet an old friend?”

Eric James suddenly became guarded when around the alpha that moved within his circle. As a beta, Eric was immune to the pheromones of an alpha like Ethan, but the newcomer just seemed to strike him as cocky and self-absorbed. There are just some people that one didn’t like, and Ethan fell into that category.

“I don’t remember having a friend like you, can we save this for later. I need to drop Ian off.”

Not wanting to give the other man the upper hand, Eric decided to state the obvious in order to make his escape from the alpha. Head lolling from intoxication, Ian prodded his friend with his thigh.

“Eric, I need to take a leak!”

“Like now? Can you hold it until you get home?”

“My bladder can’t take it anymore; I need to use the restroom!”

A cold calculating look entered the eyes of Ethan as he watched the exchange between the two, he could sense a close familiarity that he found oddly unsettling. He saw the eyes of the beta soften when talking to the man he was holding in a close embrace.

“You got yourself a nice puppy, he has the looks but not my type. I may reconsider if he is an omega.”

“Sorry to disappoint you but Ian is an alpha just like you.”

As Eric coolly spoke Ethan reached to stroke the cheeks of Ian much to his displeasure of Eric, the urge to kick the other alpha in the groin felt almost too tempting to resist.

Suddenly Ian broke away from his friend to throw himself at Ethan and began rubbing against the chest of the alpha, taking in his scent, and without meaning to he began to subconsciously release his omega pheromones, clouding the senses of the alpha in his arms.
