Despite the fact that I’ve never met any of them before, of course there would be one up there acting like a nutcase the second I bring one of my future Alphas out here.
There’s no way Gus is going to let me come back to this apartment now.
He moves up the stairs first, and I follow a couple steps after him.
My stomach sinks when we get to the top, and I see that the neighbor causing a disturbance isn’t a neighbor at all.
It’s Ben. He’s trying to get into my apartment, and he’s getting more and more pissed off that his key isn’t working. The doors all scratched up where he’s been scraping his key off the wood around the lock.
Oh my God.
I can’t think of a worse way for Gus to meet my ex.
“Fucking bitch!” Ben seethes at the door.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Gus asks him, in a vaguely threatening tone.
Ben turns slowly, staring icily until he locks his gaze on Gus.
I see it when my ex realizes he’s looking at an Alpha.
The anger in his eyes turns into fear.
He’s revealing the true nature of a Beta who only knows how to act like an Alpha when it doesn’t matter. That’s the trouble with Alpha-leaning Betas.
They have no real Alpha qualities. They just like to think they do.
Ben straightens up slowly and clears his throat. I can tell he’s attempting to look like a harmless, mild-mannered Beta to avoid starting a fight. “I was trying to get back into my apartment, but it would seem that my girlfriend has changed the lock.”
“I’m not your girlfriend,” I protest, drawing his attention to me.
He stares at me and starts to frown. “What the fuck are you wearing, Saffy?”
“That’s none of your business,” I tell him. “And it’s not your apartment. It’s mine.”
He frowns at me, looking from me to Gus and back again.
“Who the fuck is he?”
“I’m the guy who’s going to smash your head into the wall if you don’t leave,” Gus growls, advancing another step. “Now.”
Ben backs up automatically and stumbles, bumping into the wall at the side of the door.
“You wouldn’t dare,” he mutters, bringing his phone out of his pocket. “I’ll have the cops charge you with aggravated assault. You’ll get the book thrown at you for abuse of power as an Alpha.”
Gus slaps the phone out of his hand, hard.
It flies onto the staircase and smacks against the wall before it tumbles farther away. Sounds like it’s shattering into a million tiny pieces. Ben looks pale as he stares after it. His eyes are a little glassy when he looks back at us. A few seconds of silent staring later, and he frowns at me.
“My God. You really are an Omega.”
“Not that it’s any of your business,” I tell him. “Leave. Now. Before my Alpha murders you for interfering with our nest.”
He shakes his head at me, and his gaze clears. “I … I left stuff here. I want it back.”
“Well, I put it in the trash on Wednesday night. Pickup was Thursday, so you’ve got a few days worth of garbage to sift through at the dump if you really want the stuff you left here. Good luck with that.”
“You fucking bitch!” He takes half a step toward me, and Gus throws a punch.
