Instead, I shake her hand briefly and drop it before I do anything crazy. She looks at me quizzically and steps back a polite distance. We all stand around in an awkward circle for a second, and I realize this is usually where I say something along the lines of ‘We’ll consider your offer and get back to you.’ But I’ve been so distracted that I missed my social que.
Dillan has my back though, and he thanks Jerrick and Summer, and then we are walking out of the conference room. I feel like I’m in a daze. That meeting went nothing like how I planned.
“You okay?” Dillan asks, smirking slightly. “You were eyeing that omega pretty hard for someone that has a girlfriend.”Shit.
I stop dead in my tracks, getting bumped in the shoulder by a few people walking behind me at my abrupt change in pace. But honestly, how could I have forgotten about my girlfriend in the midst of all this? The horror on my face must be plain to see because Dillan backtracks quickly.
“Shit, Brooklyn. I was just joking. She was gorgeous, it’s okay to stare sometimes.”
I bristle a tiny bit at him calling her gorgeous.She’s mine.
I pull out my phone and, sure enough, there are dozens of texts from the guys wanting more information.
Me
It’s definitely the same omega. Her name is Summer, and she had no idea I’m her mate.
Maverick
There’s something strange about that. I’m going to do some research and see what I can find out.
Hudson
I knew we’d all have the same mate one day. I think we need to talk about this. She can’t be left alone, even if she doesn’t recognize us yet.
Maverick
Pack meeting?
Mason
Is your meeting over, Brookie? You on your way home?
Me
Yeah, it’s over. I’ll be home in a bit. I need to stop and see Tatem on the way home.
Mason
Wtf, Brooke?
Maverick
What for???
Hudson
Absolutely not!
Me
Chill, you psycho assholes. I’m going to end things. She doesn’t deserve a break-up text.
Mason
Yes she does.
