ass and tell her best friend how he felt about her, then she would get her someone else. Johnny Ringo seemed like the perfect candidate.
    London and Donnie took all of the Alpha’s money as the last hand was laid down. London giggled as she scooped all her chips up putting them in the big bucket.
    “Cash me in, baby!” London announced loudly. Between Donnie and her, they were taking home three hundred dollars of the Alpha’s money, and she loved it.

    Kayden needed some fresh air after the bomb Ryder just dropped on him. He walked outside to clear his head. Zoey was being courted by none other than Johnny Ringo. The man was a billionaire many times over and from what he had heard, loved the women. If he mated Zoey, that meant she would move to Las Vegas to be with him. Laying his head against the porch beam, Kayden closed his eyes. Thinking of Johnny and Zoey together was driving him insane.
    Ryder stressed that Zoey needed someone to be good to her. He could be good to her, but what would his pride and his father say. He father would pitch a fit and most likely cut him off, but it’s not like he needed him for anything, and if he cut his son off, what did that say about him?
    Kayden bounced his head against the beam. “Stupid, stupid,” he muttered.
    “Out of everyone here, I thought you were the most sensible.” Kayden turned around to see Brody King sitting in the rocking chair. He should have smelled him, but his thoughts were on Zoey. “Even with your upbringing and how controlling your father was, I knew, well, we all knew, you would change your pride and make it better for your people. We all had faith that you would stray from the old ways that strangled your people. Telling them that they could only mate with their own kind is foolish thinking, if you ask me. The only way for your pride to grow is help them, be there when they need leading, but never take away their free will to mate with whom they wish. Your father did that, Kayden. He might as well have put collars on your family the way he guided all of you around like puppets. You, my friend, are a true leader, but if you let her get away, then I take back all the good things I just said about you.” Kayden watched as Brody got up from the chair and walked back inside the house.
    Brody King was a man of few words, but when he spoke, he told you the truth, even if it hurt. It always seemed to put a person right back on track. Kayden took off running for his vehicle. He was going to Las Vegas to get his mate.

    Zoey couldn’t stop laughing as Andrew divulged all the funny stories of when he and Johnny were in the military together. She laughed so hard her side hurt. She was having the best time with the Alpha and his Beta.
    “The food was excellent,” Zoey responded, changing the subject. “The steak was cooked to perfection, and all the sides were just as wonderful.”
    “I’m glad you enjoyed it. I like a woman who will eat in front of a man. There are too many women who starve themselves. I believe a woman should have a healthy appetite,” Johnny explained then offered her more wine.
    “I agree. Take this woman walking in with what’s his name. He’s an actor, but look at the woman. I think the front desk said she was a model. Watch how little she eats, knowing she wants more,” Andrew added. They watched her eat to see how much she consumed. They all scooted closer to each other, so they could count how many times she put the fork to her mouth. They counted four times, and then she acted as if she was full.
    “The man spent a fortune on her meal, and she only ate four bites,” Zoey muttered.
    Zoey ate all her steak and potatoes. She saved a little room for the dessert they were bringing out. Johnny and Andrew raved about it, and she wasn’t going to pass it up.
    “I think the model is fixing to eat her own arm. Look at her face. She wants that dessert so bad,” Andrew suggested.
    “Lord, woman. Why doesn’t
