Chapter 32

Tabitha strolled through the party like she was a VIP. She waved and greeted people as she passed them and made her way to where Esha told her which section she would be sitting in. Marco followed closely behind Tabitha, ensuring people kept their hands to themselves as his mate walked through the crowd. Gretchen and Colson gave each other a weird look as they watched Marco and Tabitha's comfort at the party. Colson's senses were overwhelmed by all the different scents circulating through the air. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to concentrate on the scent of his mate and block out the other smells lingering around. Colson could feel Gretchen relax as she waved to the beat of the music. She sucked in a deep breath and was already caught up in the party's allure. Colson wrapped his arm around Gretchen's waist and pulled her close. He leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Be careful not to breathe in too much of the scents they are pushing through the air," Colson warned.
