All Chapters of One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 61 - Chapter 66

61JOHN’S POV.As the car drove, racing along the busy streets of L. A, my head lolled from side to side.It was embarrassing, but I couldn’t help it. Throughout that month, I couldn’t recall a night when I got adequate sleep. The days were hot and stressful, the nights busy and restless.I had to meet all the boring people in the world, who gave me lectures on being a strong Alpha, and leader of the pack even though I never signed up for it. Nor did I go to them to receive lectures.I was taught about the full history of the sculpture from each elder I met. So many days, I was forced to keep them company under the pretense that I was being schooled for a good reason, and not just because they were bored.The worst part was moving from town to town. They said I had to locate the graves of the previous Alphas. I had to take the sand and stone from a hundred previous Alphas’ graves.That had seemed impossible, but they told me I couldn’t back out, so I went from town and town, carrying

63EMILY’S POV.Did she have a place to go, and her house was too far from it?

I would like to share in the happiness too.” She said, then looked around. “I don’t see Lucas.”“That’s Alpha Lucas to you.” Katie said immediately.“Oh come

65EMILY’S POV.He took my hand, and refused to leave it, staring at me like he was trying to read me.“What’s so weird about agreeing to be friends?” I asked, looking away, with my face flushing.“What made you change your mind?” He asked, still holding onto my hand, which was growing warmer by the moment.“What made me change my mind? I just thought it was rude to…”“No, you definitely didn’t. There must be a reason.” He said, and I pursed my lips, and looked straight into his mesmerizing green eyes.“I thought you wanted to blackmail me about it. I thought you were like John. So I said no. But now I know you’re not that way, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to have a friend.” I blurted out, snatching my hand out of his, and he laughed.“You’re something else. Does everyone with Granger as their last name seem shady to you?” He asked, pushing his hands into his pockets.“That was then. Maybe you’re the only one who’s not shady. You, the kids, well, except Sadie.” I replied, and he chuc
