Zane sends absolute hostility, Dash is curious, and Malachi is skeptical, which I get.
“I don’t know, man. We’ve been a pack for a while,” I hedge.
“Do you have an omega?” he asks, sounding as though the question pops from him like a shook soda can.
We do. Kind of. I mean, we have Aria, and no one knows she is an omega but me. “No.”
I lie easily. I thought it would be hard, but keeping her safe comes easy to me.
“All right, so court me.” He gives me a goofy grin. “You know, get to know me.” He snaps his fingers. “Doesn’t Dash have a gig tonight? We can start there.”
Something uneasy shifts in my gut, like when my system flags a potential security breach. I can’t pinpoint the exact threat, but every instinct screams that I need to keep Aria as far from Logan as possible. The urge to protect her wars with my need to maintain our cover.
I also can’t tell him not to go to a public place.
“All right, come with us, bring up your thoughts to the pack, and see what they say.”
“That’s all I’m asking for, man. Thanks.” He seems genuine, but there’s a wild look in his gaze.
I don’t get to analyze it too much, because Zane opens the passenger door. “Get the fuck out. Let’s go.”
“Yes, sir.” Logan pops up and gets out, but then he looks back in. “See you later, Quinn.”
“Yeah,” I mumble, and then he’s shutting the door.
Pulling out my phone, I shoot off a text to Cayenne.
Quinn: Hey, did that background check on Logan Pierce come through yet?
Cayenne: Not yet. All okay?
Quinn: He wants to join the pack.
Cayenne: No.
Snorting, I put my phone away and focus on the screens. I make it two seconds before pulling my phone out and creating a group message between the pack and Aria.
I name it Clarke pack, because yes, I’m being presumptuous about Aria accepting us as an omega.
Quinn: Hey, everyone, just a reminder about the gig tonight at eight! Who’s excited?
Aria: I can’t wait to head there after work with Willow! We’re going to be the loudest fans in the crowd! I plan to lose my voice and need hot cocoa.
Zane: First round of drinks is on Dash.
Dash: What? Fine. Totally pumped! Ready to bring the house down and have some fun. Let’s make it a night to remember!
Malachi: I’ll get the first round.
Quinn: Aria, I want the first dance of the night with you.
Aria: I brought my dancing shoes. Good luck keeping up with me.
Zane: I’ll watch.
Dash: No fair, I want to dance.
Aria: I’ll need a lap to rest in.
