Her cheeks flushed, and she looked at her friend and sister for help. It probably wasn’t easy being put in the main seat; all eyes focused on her. She looked more like a fish out of water than an omega. A cute, pink fish.
“I don’t know what to ask,” She admitted.
Her beautiful voice gut-punched him, and it had the same effect on the others, too. There really was no need for a test. It was clear that this girl in front of them was meant to be their omega. He wanted to skip the awkwardness and pleasantriesand take her home, cook her dinner, and read her passages from his favorite books. He could see it. He could see her wrapped in his bedsheets, wearing his clothes, opening her arms for him so that he could hold her.
Felix cleared his throat and pinched his shirt collar. It was getting stuffy. He wished he could chance out of his tight, leather clothes and into one of his mor comfortable sweaters.
If only people knew what a sap you were.
Be quiet.
“I only know you as the voices on my playlist. I still feel more like a fan than…” She pursed her lips together, not finishing the sentence, but he wanted her to. He wanted to hear her calling herself their mate.
Kai scoffed. “We have a lot of fans. Some are batshit crazy, so I want to know, are you?”
“What is wrong with you?” Zayden growled, reaching to grab Kai to wring his neck. Felix was tempted to do it himself, but there was a long line. Scarlett, Summer, and even Dr. Avery seemed to want a piece of the action as well.
Sonnet’s eyes narrowed. Was she pissed?
In a cute, angry bunny kind of way.
Sonnet turned her head towards Kai and made a scolding,tsking sound. “I might be a fan, but I also read what the tabloids say about you. You specifically, Kai, and if you talk to me like that again, I’m going to think all the rumors are true.”
Jude whistled. “Damn, I think I like her even more now.”
“Maybe they are true. So what?” Kai scoffed.
“Oh. Wow.” Sonnet touched her heart gently and faked a dramatic gasp. Felix held his breath in anticipation. “Your attitudeisconnected to being insecure about your ability to please a woman because of your insignificant penis size? That might be a problem if we’re going to be mates.”
The room was deadpan silent, all their jaws on the floor. Scarlett was the first to laugh, with Jude following. Summer and Zayden looked proud, Kai’s face was quickly turning a deep shade of red, and even Felix couldn’t contain a smile. He had to glue his lips together to keep from joining in on the laughter.
She’s good.
She’s perfect.
“I can’t believe you said penis,” Summer said, choking back a laugh.
Sonnet’s eyes were narrowed, as if daring Kai to say another word. “Why? Penis isn’t a bad word.”
“You don’t curse?” Felix asked.
She shook her head adamantly. “No. Never.”
He nodded his head. “I’ll make sure to remember that.”
“Me too!” Jude shouted. “I swear right here and right now, I’ll never say another terrible word again! Except, maybe for ass or hell, but those aren’t that terrible. Are they?”
“Oh, for the love of—”
Zayden pinched Kai’s ear. “We’ll all try harder not to curse, then. Is there anything else we should know?”
They all listened intently as Sonnet spoke, and the more she got into the conversation, the more confident she became. She talked about music, and it was clear they weren’t that special. Their omega had a wide range of musical tastes, such as country, folk, and Broadway. Maybe the next time Felix was taken to New York for a modeling gig, he could take her to a Broadway show.
She loved animals and plants, ate mostly takeout since she didn’t like to cook, had a major sweet tooth, and, in her own words, lived a very cheerful and whimsical life.
Jude wrote everything down in his sloppy, childish handwriting only he could read. Then, he went on to spill every surface level thing there was about himself and the pack. He yapped about Zayden’s obsession with fixing up a motorcyclehe’s had for the past three years, Kai’s soft sport for dogs, and took a jab at Felix for being incredibly introverted and an old soul.
“I don’t know why we call Zayden old man when really, it’s Felix,” Jude finished, taking a deep inhale. “Honestly, we should get a dog just to bring more life to our house.”
