“Fucking Isleton?!”
Ben must have told her about us.
I’m going to kill that fucker.
“Yes,” Landon says, looking far too smug. “It will do you good to get out of town. And you know, maybe actually return your cousin’s calls.”
I scoff. “You need to stop sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Did you ever think that maybe you don’t have the all the answers, asshole?”
But Landon just shrugs. “I haven’t found that to be the case yet.” He grins, and I groan.
Isleton is more than two hours away.
And if giving the Omega a ride home means I can be a hundred miles away from my partner…
“I guess I’m going to Isleton,” I sigh.

SKYLAR
Is it possible to die of embarrassment?
My back burns, my knees and elbows are scabbed, and my head throbs.
Not only did I not get any help for April, but I got run over in the process.
To be fair, she would probably think it’s funny.
What’s not funny is waking up in a hospital bed to the beep of my own heartbeat.
I must have passed out in the ambulance.
What happened to my car? To my purse?
I groan in pain, shifting in the hospital bed and struggling to sit up. It feels like someone hit me in the head with a hammer; all I want to do is keep my eyes closed forever.
“You’re awake,” a low voice sighs in relief. A faint familiar scent washes over me, and I open my eyes to see Landon sitting in a chair on my right side.
Landon, the Alpha who carried me in his arms to the ambulance.
Landon, who purred for me.
And who turned me down.
“Why are you here?” I croak, and his dark eyes widen. Then his expression softens, and he smiles, showing off his dimples.
Damn him for being so handsome.
And damn him for staying at the hospital with me. I want to forget today, but his welcoming, delicious scent makes it hard for me to want to stay away from him.
“You were hit by a car,” he says slowly, as if he thinks I lost my memory along with my dignity. “I had to make sure you were safe.”
I swallow a lump in my throat and turn away from him.
This is how an Alpha should behave, I realize. This is how a decent Alpha would treat an Omega he cares about.
And I’m not even his.
