“I’m sure I will. I mean, it’s everything I love! Fairies and dragons and danger and love.”
I’m grinning widely now. “Then you will love it, trust me.”
She’s silent for a bit, leafing through the book. It gives me time to finish preparing her coffee. I serve it to her on the bar along with a slice of Angelic. Yeah, it’s only for friends, but fuck it. Today something told me I should serve this cake to her and to the pack still waiting by the bookshelves.
A sign? A mistake? God only knows.
As if on cue, she asks, “What about the men who were with you?”
“What about them?”
“Am I interrupting something?” she whispers, eyes wide.
“Not at all. You’ve met them before, then?”
“Yeah, the other day, outside the Omega Sunshine shelter. I was just passing by, and two of them were there. Archer… and Roman?”
“That’s right.” I glance at them. “Did they annoy you?”
“Oh, no. They were the perfect gentlemen. I just didn’t expect you to be friends with them.”
“I’m not. Friends, that is. I barely know them.”
“They seem nice.”
“They are,” I have to agree, then I glance at Kyrian. “Mostly.”
Her mouth twitches. “I sense a story there.”
“Not really. Like I said, I barely know them. What did they tell you?”
She blushes. “Not much. They just… assumed I was an omega. They thought I needed to enter the shelter.”
“And are you?” I ask.
“An omega? Oh, no.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.” She gives a rueful smile. “I know I look like one…”
“My friend Bee was told she was a beta but turned out to be an omega after all.”
“Interesting. I’m not… very omega-like. When you get to know me. If that counts for something.”
“It does,” I say. “After all, how you feel is just as important as… I dunno, having heats or liking sports, I guess.”
“And you? Have you had any heats yet?” she asks.
I can feel my face flaming again. “Buy a guy dinner first, won’t you?”
Her eyes widen. “Sorry. I didn’t realize it was a sensitive topic. Last time you said it’s good to talk openly about such things.”
“Sure, generally speaking. But asking if I’ve lost control and had wild monkey sex with any available alpha in the vicinity?”
She frowns. “I’m sorry. Sometimes I don’t know what it’s socially acceptable to say or ask. I should go.”
“Wait…” I get up, shove my hands into my pockets. “Dammit, wait, Brin.”
