Pack Princess (Paranormal Shapeshifer BBW Romance): (Devil Riders MC) by Milly Taiden, Mina Carter Page A

You didn’t do them as a child, don’t start now. It’s beneath you.”
    “Fine. So I should just accept all this and be miserable for the rest of my life?” she growled. Dammit, that’s exactly what she’d have to do.
    Giselle took a deep breath before answering. “Why not try to learn to adjust to your new life. Give it a chance. I’m sure it won’t be as bad as you think. Dale seems like such a nice guy.”
    Evva snorted. “You’re just as bad as our other friends. All infatuated with Chip and his pretty-boy appearance. That’s not my thing, Gigi. I like my men to be harder. Scruffier. With the kind of face that will make you wonder if he’ll spank you or kiss you.”
    Giselle’s jaw dropped. “Wow. Where the hell do I find one like that?”
    Damned if Evva knew.
    She needed to get out of there. To breathe and forget all about that stupid wedding even if only for a few hours. Tomorrow would be time enough to get back to it. For now, she needed a few drinks and to get the hell out of the mansion.
    “I have an idea,” Evva tugged off the engagement ring her father had handed her on behalf of her fiancée, placing it in one of the drawers of her five-foot tall jewelry box. She didn’t dare shove it into one of the ones with her bejeweled toys for fear of Gigi’s reaction. Besides, a princess needed her bling.
    “What’s your idea?” Curiosity and a hint of excitement sounded in Giselle’s voice.
    “A girls night out,” Evva answered nonchalantly. “To say goodbye to my single life, but more importantly, to help me cope with this upcoming change.”
    “Wait, like a bachelorette party?” Giselle gasped. Hell. Gigi seemed like she might pass out.
    “No! No. Nothing like that. There will be no strippers. Maybe just a night at the bar going for a few drinks with the girls. You know?”
    “Oh!” Giselle slapped a hand on her chest. “You scared the crap out of me. You know your dad would kill us if he found out you’d gone and done something like that knowing you’re engaged.”
    What her father didn’t know…
    “What do you say?” Evva asked, hoping to encourage Giselle into agreeing.
    “Is that what you really want?” She sat on the chair across from Evva’s bed and frowned.
    Evva clenched her teeth, glancing down at her lap before lifting her gaze to meet Giselle’s. “No. What I really want is to choose my own husband, but since that was taken out of my hands. This is probably the next-best thing. I need some way to relax after the news.”
    Giselle nodded sympathetically. “I’ll get the girls together, and we can go out a last time to help you relax. Give me a few hours to get everyone.”
    “Thanks. I think this will at least help me unwind. Maybe even be more agreeable.” When she died. The poor bastard had no idea what he had coming. If he expected some docile wife, he should’ve married Giselle. Evva was so far from docile it was laughable. That’s probably why her father decided to choose her husband for her. She tended to give most men a run for their money with her sarcastic wit and sharp tongue.
    It didn’t matter. She needed some time away from her father. He’d made a decision without her input and that was something she had a hard time getting over. Tonight, she’d hang out with the girls and have a few drinks. Maybe even some fun. She knew there was no escaping her reality, even if just for a few hours, she could pretend she still controlled her life. Then she’d go off and do her duty to her pack. Her husband might hate her within a week, but she’d marry him. It wasn’t her fault he chose an alpha princess with a short temper for stupidity. He’d just need to learn to adjust to her ways.
    ***
    Evva would kill her friends slowly. Each and every one of them. How could they think for even a second that this bar filled with her father’s friends would be fun?
    She needed to get the hell out if she was actually going to be able to chill tonight and take her
