Yuri nodded a few times. “This should be interesting then. Let’s go.”
He kept an arm around me, leading the way out of the house with Nash not far behind. Yuri opened the front passenger seat and made sure I was set before closing the door and going around to the driver’s side. Nash slid into the backseat, his legs spread wide to give himself as much room as possible in the small space.
River waved to us, then, without waiting long, they whipped out of the driveway. Yuri followed after them as if this were an everyday occurrence.
“Do we have any guesses about what they’re up to?” Nash asked, looking to Yuri.
“Knowing River, it could be anything.” A hint of a smile softened his face, and his next words were directed at me. “If you want to put on any music, feel free.”
“I’m good,” I told him honestly. I’d much rather talk to them than listen to music on the radio.
Nash started trying to guess where we were going, and just as I was about to add in some ideas, my phone started to ring. Reaching into my back pocket, I saw Hazel’s name on the screen and answered with a grin.
“Hazel! What’s going on?”
“Sienna! Are you working tonight?”
“Noooo,” I answered slowly, feeling an equal mix of confusion and suspicion. “Why?”
“Because I need you to help me out with something.”
“Is it just us on the call?” I asked. Yuri and Nash kept looking at me as if trying to figure out what was going on.
“Yes,” Hazel huffed, then something slammed on her end of the line. “It’s Eliza’s birthday tomorrow, and with everything going on…”
“Shit,” I whispered, anxiety starting to take me over.
“Exactly,” Hazel agreed. “We need to meet up today and figure out what the fuck we’re doing.”
“When are you free?”
“Now,” Hazel answered. “We need time to plan this out.”
“I’m actually headed out on a date…” I glanced at Yuri, who was watching me intently. Looking around, I realized he had parked the car at some point without me noticing. “I can call you afterward?”
“Yes! Perfect! Don’t cancel plans with your pack. We can totally figure this out afterward. We have plenty of time left in the day. Just save the fucking for later when you get home.”
“Oh my god! Hazel!” I protested, my cheeks hot with embarrassment.
“We can get some surprises for our packs when we go out later today to get stuff for Eliza. Go have fun and do all the things I would do!”
“That doesn’t mean much,” I muttered sarcastically.
“Means more than if Teag was saying it,” Hazel sang out.
Click.
Well, shit. Guess it was time for a surprise date then birthday planning with Hazel. It was going to be a busy day.

Sienna was right; Gomez was a work of art, though the car didn’t hold a candle to the alpha beside me.
River was humming along to the music playing on the radio as they drove to wherever the date was going to be, but I could tell they were nervous. Their hands clenched the steering wheel hard enough that their knuckles were turning white.
I knew exactly what this was about since Yuri was about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. Needless to say, we hadn’t been subtle about our attraction for each other.
