The party is in full swing when I drive in with Saphira. We arrive at the same time with Mercedes and Zane, my timing is perfect. I want to show the Alpha that I too can get a sexy date. As the perfect gentleman I am, I help Saphira out of my car and walk to the door with our hands intertwined. In the meantime, I make sure the couple behind sees us clearly, while I don't glimpse at them myself. Once we've found our friends at a table, we easily blend in. I fist-bump a few, others get a neat handshake. It is clearly a successful party, there is unlimited expensive alcohol available. There is a live band and DJ, the music is good and the improvised dance floor is packed. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Mercedes enter through the front door alone. Clarita immediately takes care of her,
