of work .  Terri’s mate Mal took up just about all of her time.
    Terri greeted Mrs Martin and, after a kick from Terri, Kayleigh murmured a hello.  The two women started gathering their purses and coats.
    Mrs Martin gave them an unpleasant smile.  “So Terri, is young Mal still out of town?”   Terri replied that he was.  “Well you’re a braver woman that I would be.”
    Nobody said anything, the two younger women knew better then to react to her bait.
    Unperturbed Mrs Martin continued.  “After all, a young boy like him... who knows what he might get up to alone for the week.  Boys will be boys...”
    She watched Terri carefully for a reaction, but Terri looked at blankly.  “Thank you for filling in for us,” said Terri smoothly, “we’ll be over at the Honeypot Diner, call if you need us.”
    Mrs Martin’s smile twitched.  She was onto a loser if she thought she could cause friction in Terri and Mal’s relationship, Mal was absolutely besotted with his mate .
    “Of course dear .”  Her eyes suddenly gleamed.  “Oh you two will never guess who I saw in town earlier.”
    Nobody tried to guess so she plowed on regardless.  “Sharron Ealy... say wasn’t she going steady with Greg before you?  Didn’t she run off with Greg’s best friend?  I heard he was heartbroken... and then he took up with you straight afterwards...”
    “ Well see you later Mrs Martin.”  Said Terri loudly, linking her arm in Kayleighs, dragging her away.
    “I thought you said she wasn’t outwardly mean...”   Whispered Kayleigh sourly as they rushed out the door.
    “I’m sorry.”  Terri offered lamely.
    “Don’t be, not your fault the woman’s such a cow!”
    Should she be worried about Sharron though?  Yes Sharron had cheated on Greg with a close friend of his for about a month before running off with said friend, but Greg had loved her to bits.  If she wanted Greg back he would probably go to her, even though she didn’t deserve him...
    Although based on Kayleigh’s own nocturnal activities she didn’t feel overly judgemental.  Kayleigh was fantasising about cheating on Greg too.  Maybe she wasn’t good enough for him either... 
    They pushed open the door of the Diner.  Melanie waved them over.
    When they were settled Melanie leaned forward.  “I hope you guys don’t mind I invited Carly to join us.”
    Carly was the Omega of the wolf pack.  Physically she was the weakest and smallest member, but she was connected to the pack members emotions and if pushed could manipulate emotions.  She was powerful in her own right.
    Both of the other two women said of course not.  Melanie smiled.  “Thanks guys, she just had a major bust-up with her boyfriend Bryce, she’s feeling a little delicate.”
    Kayleigh looked up from her menu.  “God that guy is so obnoxious!  I ran into him in the grocery store yesterday and he actually hit on me!  He could see I was wearing an engagement ring and he knows I’m living with Greg but he actually tried it on.  And do you know what he said?  He said, ‘are you tired?  Because you’ve been running around in my mind all day!’”
    “ Euwww that’s so cheesy!”  Cried Melanie.
    “Could have been worse,” chipped in Terri, “when I first move here he asked me ‘did you ever realize screw rhymes with me and you?’  I’m still trying to forget that!”
    Kayleigh chuckled.  “God that is worse!  Shit!  Here comes Carly hush up!”
    The little Omega joined them, her face looked pale and her eyes red rimmed.  She insisted she was fine.
    A new waitress sashayed over to them.  Kayleigh guessed they were about the same age but the waitress was lithe and full of energy.  She looked like the type of girl who climbed mountains, ran marathons and went horseback riding all before a healthy breakfast.  Kayleigh looked like the creature from the black lagoon each morning when she woke up...
    “Hey Kira!”  Said Carly, her face lighting up.
