Her eyebrows rose. “I see. Perhaps you’d like to meet with new pack services about all that? While accidental bonding can absolutely be a good thing, sometimes people do have concerns and it’s nice to talk about them in a safe space.”
“Oh, we already did that this morning,” I assured.
We went over everything and she changed out my combined suppressant implant for something a little stronger, since I was now living with my alpha mate. Sure, I wanted to get pregnant, but with Carlos’ schedule we probably wouldn’t be able to have a heat until off-season.
“You did so well. I’ll let them know that you can pick something extra from the cupboard,” she told me.
Nice. I got a candle and a little satin eye mask, because I’d forgotten mine and I liked darkness when I slept.
“Hi, are you Fiona? I’m Molly, your advocate. I’m so sorry for the delay.” An advocate in a Center polo shirt there. She was an omega with auburn hair.
We grabbed a coffee in the cafe and got to know each other, then we went into one of the meeting rooms. It looks like a living room with a sofa and a coffee table.
“Okay, you wanted me to look over some mating agreements?” Molly asked.
“Please. They look fine to me. But I haven’t gotten a lawyer of my own yet.” I gave her both of them.
“They look fine. Though…” She suggested a few tiny things.
“Perfect. Now… Here's the contract from my dads.” I grimaced and I told her the story.
Her eyebrows rose. “They want towhat?”
“I know, right?” I rolled my eyes.
“You know they can’t actually legally do that without your consent, right?”
“I know.” Though there would be ramifications if we fought against it and I’d rather just avoid that by succeeding.
“I’ll go over this. You can make an appointment online with the legal clinic. I also have a list of lawyers,” she offered.
“I’ll do that, thanks,” I agreed.
“Once you get settled, we can do our first site visit. That’ssomething that we usually do when an omega moves in, just to make sure that everything is safe and comfortable,” she added.
“Oh, I can’t wait for you to see it,” I replied. She assigned me a bunch of videos to watch and then we made a follow up appointment.
I spent a little time wandering around the facilities. There weren't any special make-and-take crafts today. But they did have some beads, yarn, coloring sheets, and other things in the rec room.
Satisfied I’d accomplished what I needed to, I went to the parking garage and got into my car.
Oh shit. I didn’t look to see if the pharmacy had anything for Saoirse. Sure, she said she didn’t want anything, but she was such a baby sometimes when it came to taking medicine.
I found the pharmacy that actually had a place to park and went to see if I could find anything for her.
As I looked for the over-the-counter stuff for colds and flu, my spine prickled as if I was being watched. But I was an omega alone in public. Creeps did exist everywhere. Also, we had gone viral, people might recognize me.
Hurrying up, I checked out and went to my car with my keys between my fingers. Yeah, this was why Saoirse didn’t like me doing things alone, and why my fathers had expensive security following me around for my time in the academy.
As I was driving, my father called.
“Hi, Princess. How did everything go today?” he asked on speaker.
“Great. We had a good meeting. The bonds are registered. My new advocate looked over my mating agreements. Everything’s fine,” I replied.
“I’m happy to hear that.”
“We even were working on house rules last night, talking about things like chores and stuff. Like we’re a shoes off house and it’sokay to put feet on the coffee table as long as they’re bare and it’s the downstairs one.” I really wasn’t sure about either of those. I was all for eating on the downstairs couch.
