Micky takes a pack car. His car was destroyed, and not even worth fixing. He would have to buy another one, but for now, the van would do.
He takes off for the human city and on to his favorite pub. Border guards see him pass and bow to him.
When he enters the pub, he goes to the counter, where his friend and owner of the pup, was also a barman. He greets him.
- Micky, here again? I've got your drink ready, you want the vodka, or you'll have a regular drink.
- I want the vodka. – he says, putting some dollars on the counter. The man grabs the money and gives him the bottle.
- I don't want to drink here. – Micky says, looking tired and sad.
The friend reaches into his pocket and pulls out the keys to the back office, which Micky takes and leaves. Before Micky disappears, the man asks him:
- Don't you want company today?
Micky smiles at his friend and asks with a mocking voice:
- Why? You're offering?
- Jesus, hell no. I like my tight ass as it is. I'm just amazed that you're going without taking anyone with you.
- I just came to drink. Micky replies and closes the office door.
He sits on an old couch and opens the bottle, taking long gulps, as if the spiked vodka were water and he was thirsty. In a few minutes, he was drunk, and the bottle was gone. He staggered to his feet and shouted to his friend:
- Get me another one.
With an air of disapproval, Paul handed him another bottle.
- Micky, what's up? You drank a bottle of vodka in less than 20 minutes. You want to kill yourself?
Micky laughs, takes the bottle from his friend and closes the door in his face.
He goes back to drinking, taking big swigs, but after 10 minutes he falls asleep, completely drunk.
When the Pub closes, the friend sees that Micky as past out. He wouldn't let him drive in that state, so he takes Micky's phone, unlocks it with his fingerprint, and searches for his contacts.
- Micky, where are you, what happened? - Alex asks sleepily.
- I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour. Are you Alexander? Micky's Alpha?
Alex is completely awake now. Who was that man with Micky's phone?
- Who are you and what are you doing with Micky's phone?
- Calm down Alfa. My name is Paul and I own the pub "Lone Wolf". I'm Micky's friend.
- I know who you are. What's up with Micky?
- Actually, I don't know, but he drank almost 2 bottles of spiked vodka, and I don't know how to send him back there.
- I'll be there in 20 minutes. Alex answered, hanging up the call.
- I hope you don't bite me when you wake up - Paul says to his unconscious friend.
20 minutes later, Alex knocks on the pub door and Paul opens it. When he sees the Alpha, he realizes why all the men Micky f****d were blond.
- Where is he?
- Back there in the office - Paul says, showing the way.
When Alex sees his friend, he sighs.
- Tomorrow I will send someone to get his car.
Alex slides his arms under Micky's body, and as if he were a bride, he carries him to the car and throws him in the back seat, climbs into the driver's seat and starts driving.
Halfway through, Micky started to babble, but Alex couldn't make out what he was saying. He pays the utmost attention, and catches slurred words.
- I love you shooooo much. Mammammammmamam Kat mdddddddds way fffshhh.
The only thing Alex can understand is Kat, and I love you so much.
“Damn. I'm sure Micky is drinking this way because he loves Kat." – Alex tells Fury
“Then he needs to stop loving her. She's ours, and we've already marked her. We are not going to share her.” - the wolf answers, coldly.
“You know how much I love Micky. He is my best friend, my brother. We have to do something.”
“Don't get any ideas. If he touches my mate, I'll rip his head off.”
“Perhaps we should force friendship between the two. If they become friends, that might be enough.”
" Are you that stupid? Do you think bringing the two together will make his love go away? If they're really mated too, you're launching into each other's arms. I will not allow it.”
Alex sighs. Something he had to do.
When they arrive at the packhouse, Kat is waiting for them at the door and, despite being small, helps Alex to take Micky to his room. With an arm draped over each of them, Micky shuffles one foot in front of the other and they step into the elevator.
Micky opens his eyes, and looks at Alex and Kat and smiles. Squeezing them against him, he says in a drunken drawl.
- I love you guyshhh.
- We love you too. - Alex says, laughing.
Micky taps his finger on the alpha's chest.
- You promised me a movie session, but you forgot about me. You have my pillow hostage, but now you watch movies with Kat.
He turns to Kat.
- You're so cute. I want to see movies whit you too.
He finishes talking and falls back into a drunken sleep.
- Screw this. It's all my fault.
- What did you do? - Kat asks, opening the door to the Beta's room.
- For years, Micky had slept in my room. We would play games and watch TV and end up falling asleep. His pillow is in my room. He didn't even take her out. I invited him to a movie last night but he must have heard the two of us in the bedroom and, went drinking.
- When did you stop doing that? Stop having your friend near you? - Kat asks, watching Alex lay Micky down and cover him with blankets.
- When I met you. - Alex answered her.
Kat hangs her head in thought.
- I don't want Micky to sit alone and drink to fight loneliness. You don't have to stop doing what you usually do because of me. I'd be happy if you invited me too. You two just need to let me be the third person on these TV and game nights. I never had any of that.
- But you don't mind that Micky sleeps in our bed?
- As long as he's not watching when we're intimate, it's okay with me.
Alex kisses Kat, and by the hand, he takes her upstairs to the bedroom, and the two return to bed.
“You are playing with fire, Alex.” - Fury tells him quite sullenly.
Alex ignores him and he goes to a remote place in the Alpha's mind.
