 Oliver could see that Rhett was not convinced, but he hoped he'd at least drop the subject. The timid young wolf preferred to avoid topics that made him uncomfortable, and there was nothing that made him squirm more than talking about girls. Yet when Rhett started talking about going after Saena himself, the thought of seeing her with someone else made him feel strangely jealous, even a bit sad.

"I really like her, I mean how could you not? She's pretty and smart and just plain awesome." He hadn't known the Alpha female very long, and an older more mature wolf would probably tell him it was just an infatuation. And he would have ignored them, of course. Oliver had only had a few crushes in his life, and when he fell for someone, he fell hard. "But I don't have a chance, she's waaaayyy too good for me."
