Chapter 200

I’d just stick to Danielle, Paris, and Summer and stay far away from that nasty European princess.

Thinking of my new friends, I shrugged on the sundress in a hurry and stepped out of the bathroom into the spacious living room.

All three girls lounged on the couches, eating popcorn and watching an old movie.

“There you are.” Danielle gave me a once-over with a warm smile. “I was starting to get worried and was about to send Paris to see if you had drowned in your own bathtub, but I can see why you spent that much time in the shower. You clean up nicely.”

“Pip’s a knockout,” claimed Summer, the girl with honey brown hair. Somehow, I got the feeling that she liked both chicks and dudes, which was cool. “No wonder Viviane shoved her away from Prince Jared. If she sees how our new girl actually looks, she’s going to prohibit Pip from getting within a mile of the Alpha Heir.”

Little did they know that I was actually Sideburns’ rejected mate. Well, I wasn’t going to broadcast the news and unnecessarily humiliate myself.

“Want some?” Paris, the girl with auburn hair and beautiful darker skin, offered me popcorn. I bet she was half-Asian and half-African.

I slid onto the sofa across from the girls and grabbed a few popcorn kernels and inserted them into my mouth, then I grinned at her in thanks.

“What’s the deal with Princess Deep-throat?” I asked, inching toward Paris for more popcorn. “It’s not like I stole her man.”

“What did you just call her?” Paris let out a whistle.

 I widened my eyes and put on an innocent look. “Didn’t you hear that she gave Sideburns a blow job and that her throat still misses him?”

The girls stared at me while nodding.

“That was scandalous,” Summer said.

“Who’s Sideburns?” Danielle demanded.

My eyes sparkled as I realized how easily I mingled with Danielle and

her companions, just as easily as I got along with Shade.

I vaguely recalled that my tormentors in that lab building had mentioned

that I was a chameleon, and that I could absorb knowledge and become one within a new environment.

I didn’t know what a chameleon was, but I guessed it meant I was highly adaptive.

“You girls need to go out more often.” I sighed happily as I took over Paris’s bag of popcorn. “We’ve established Viviane as Princess Deep-throat, or Blow Job. Sideburns is the Alpha Heir Jared.”

Paris nearly fell off the sofa with giggles. “The Alpha Heir’s sideburns are famous.”

“I bet he spends hours a day trimming them before he flexes his biceps in the mirror,” I said. “You can also call him Mutton Chops if you’re in a bad mood.”

Danielle wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.

“I like Shade, though, so he’s just Shade instead of Canary,” I explained. “You know, he’s all golden locks, nice and soft.”

The girls held their bellies and laughed more, but then Danielle stopped laughing and became solemn.
