Davy nearly tripped over himself, rushing to shake her hand.
“Sorry,” he said repeatedly when he accidentally shook her hand too hard.
“It’s okay,” she said with grace. “What’s your name?”
“Davy.”
Once at the dining table, she sat between me and Davy. I placed the tablecloth over my lap just in case of an impromptu erection. I didn’t trust myself around her candy scent.

Jasper
Finishing my day’s work at the ranch, I locked up after making sure the horses were all good. It had been a long day with one of the horses, Beast, who refused to go into his stall. Something was making these horses antsy, but I couldn’t find anything that would spook them. It was sunset now, and I was more than ready to go home.
“Hey Jasper!” said a bright voice, and I saw Ruby’s friend Carmen leaving the house.
“Hey, Carmen,” I grunted as I fiddled with the tools on my work belt. The door to Beast’s stall wasn’t closing correctly, and I needed to fix a loose screw on the barn door.
“Did you hear about Ruby?” she asked.
The sound of her name stopped me in my tracks, and I turned to face her. “What about Ruby?”
“Oh, never mind,” she said, suddenly realizing that I didn’t know.
“Tell me,” I urged her. I needed to know everything when it came to Ruby. “She’s my friend, too.”
“She’s meeting with an alpha pack tonight,” said Carmen. “I know you two like each other,so yeah…”
What the hell?
This came out of nowhere, and I wondered why Ruby didn’t mention it to me at all. I knew that she would eventually meet a pack one day, but not this quickly.
“Why is she meeting them? What’s the rush?”
“Well, she’s an omega, and she needs a pack,” said Carmen sarcastically. But then, in a more sympathetic voice, “Don’t sweat it. She wasn’t looking forward to it anyway.”
“Did you just say she liked me?” I asked, my heart beating faster. She slapped a hand over her mouth, and her eyes went wide.
“Forget I said that. Oh my goodness, Ruby’s going to kill me,” she wailed as she quickly walked away from the ranch.
If Ruby really felt the same for me- that meant I needed to save her from this pack she was supposed to mate.
Abandoning the barn door, I swiftly strode over to her family’s home and crept to the side of the house. From the window, I could see her talking to three alphas wearing suits. They were eating dinner around a table, and her face was pink as she giggled at whatever the alpha with the lame bun was whispering in her ear.
My jaw tensed as I watched her enjoying their company.
She looked beautiful tonight, glittering in her navy blue dress. Her long black hair shone tonight under the chandeliers. My heart clenched with a mixture of longing and jealousy as I watched her.
As if sensing my gaze, she looked up, and our eyes locked on one another. A hint of a blush crept up her face, a certain purity and innocence to it because I knew she had never been approached by alphas like this before. I had always protected her through high school, and now I couldn’t stand watching her talk to these alphas.
I needed to let her go.
She needed a chance to move on and have an actual pack of her own. I didn’t have a right to be possessive over her.
Ruby
My scent was overwhelmingas I sat between Wayne and Davy. Squirming in my chair, I tried to make myself as small as possible so they wouldn’t smell how aroused I was.
