She has the earthy, aromatic scent.
“You!” She growled. Like, growled. Did betas normally do that? Was she a beta? Her scent made it all confusing. “Do you have any idea what your manager has done, huh? He shoved my sister into this closet. Do you think an omega in a heat spike needs a closet? NO!”
Zayden flinched.
Woah. That’s one pissed off she-wolf.
No kidding.
She continued her rant, and from behind her, he caught the eyes of an omega whose scent did not belong to his mate. The spiced chili and tequila was coming from her, with dark hair and a red streak. She was smirking, enjoying the scene her friendwas causing, but then he caught the smallest movement of pink hair.
“Hey, look at me, dammit!”
“Is the girl okay?”
The girl?His alpha barked.You’ve really fucked up now.
His shoulders sagged into a humiliating cower as the sister went berserk. “The girl?The? GIRL?Unbelievable! Maybe all those rumors from those tabloids are correct! You and your boy band are nothing more than a bunch of barbarians. I’m more than certain now that Sonnet deserves much better than you.”
“Sonnet?” The corner of his lips twitched.
Sonnet. I like it.
I love it.
A deep purr rumbled in the center of his chest; a primal sound meant to comfort an alphas omega. He wanted to step inside and use it near her. Would the sound calm her enough to make her scent bloom into something sweet like before?
“Shit. It’s true, isn’t it?” The sister’s body retracted, becoming less tense and defensive. “You’re fated mates.”
“I don’t know,” he answered quickly.
“Well, you’re about to. I’m taking my sister to an omega clinic to have her checked out. They can run the matching test there.”
“The matching test?” She shoved past him, barking at some assistants to get some water. Zayden cleared his throat and followed her, ignoring his alpha as he berated him for following the sister instead of his mate. “She wants the test done? I was worried it would be insensitive.”
“She deserves to know for certain.” She snatched a water bottle from their mini travel fridge and whipped around. Zayden straightened up immediately. “You don’t know my sister. You don’t understand her. I do. It’s my job to protecther, and knowing without a doubt this is real will put her at ease. She needs certainty. We all do.”
Are we sure she’s not an Alpha?
She might as well be.
He pinched the bridge of his nose before chasing after her. “My pack will meet you at the clinic.”
“What?”
“I need to make sure she’s okay. We all do.”
He watched her closely, the tick of her jaw, the tension and release of her shoulders, and finally, the sharp exhale. “I’ll tell your manager which clinic we decide on. Her health will need to be checked before the test is done. You may have to wait for the results, and I will not pressure her to see any of you.”
The corner of his mouth twitched. “Deal.”
She looked Zayden up and down, sizing him up, but then he saw it. A flicker of pride. “My sister deserves the best. I hope you can live up to the expectations.”
I like her.His alpha declared as she disappeared into the room with her sister.I’d like to see her in a room with Kai.
I doubt Kai would survive.
It’s good knowing our mate has someone like her in her corner.
