Why not just say “I was with my bonded alpha and his friends. They decided to have a get together while discussing their business and I was curious about where he was so I went to visit him. I got to see his friend’s baby too. We stayed a few hours but left to go back home.”? I don’t get this whole song and dance. You can absolutely tell a version of the truth that skews it just so slightly in your favour. Why he’s having to explain himself to family when they know about Nick is beyond me. Did the author forget that Nick was introduced to the family? They know Owen and Nick are together and they know what Nick looks like so the blurred face wouldn’t be enough to hide that it’s Nick so anyone who knows him. Idk. I think the author is trying to hard to sell the plot that the whole rose family is shady and therefore suspicious of everything but it’s just looking like the author is getting early dementia and forgetting their own plot.
