I roll my eyes at her concerned tone, only for her to pinch my face between her fingers.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, son. I will—"

"What, Ma? Throw a hip out trying to catch me to smack me," I laugh, and she slaps my chest and clicks her tongue.

"Harlow's blood tests?" I ask, biting into the donut.

"Yes, yes, I will get to it."

"You haven't done them yet?" Rhen asks, and she sighs.

"I will get to it when I get back to the clinic tomorrow."

"Please, you’ve had all week. Tomorrow is Friday, Mom!"

"Fine, fine, I will have the results for you tomorrow. I promise," she adds, and I huff annoyed while shaking my head. "So, Sarah?"

"Will never be our Omega," I tell her. Rhen wanders off, and my mother sighs, knowing she is one step from being kicked out with the tension up here at the moment.

"Well, I guess I will head home. Do you want me to drop this in the bins or to Sarah?"

"Sarah, it will save us having to. Thane said she is apparently waiting for her belongings in the lobby downstairs with security."

Rhen retrieves her handbag dumping it into the box of fuzzy pink crap she stocked her desk with. I shake my head, and Rhen passes the box to my mother.

"Fine, I will give this to her as I leave," she tells me, and I lean down, pecking her cheek, and so does Rhen. He presses the elevator button for her, while I make my way back to Leon's office to check on him and Thane.

AN HOUR LATER

"I want to grab dinner on the way home," Rhen tells me. I am too preoccupied with thoughts about Harlow, though. She felt off all afternoon, almost anxious.

"What?" I ask Rhen, not catching what he said.

"I asked what you want to get for dinner," he says, shaking his head.

"Anything. Tell Thane to pick it up, I want to get back to the hotel," I tell him, and he nods his head. Leon is quiet in the back. Thane is following in the car behind us. I am anxious to see his reaction to Harlow. He wanted to take Leon home with him, but he refused, so Thane insisted on staying with us until he is sure Leon is okay.

I’m worried about how Harlow will react to being near him after the other night. I see Thane turn off in the side mirror, and I know Rhen must have mind-linked him when my phone starts ringing. I pull it from my pocket and groan when I see it is my mother, but I answer it anyway.

"Hey, Ma."

"I am just letting you know I gave Sarah the box, but she said the book on the top isn't hers. I think it belongs to the other one," my mother says, not even hiding her disgust for Harlow from her voice.

"Should I bin it?" she asks.

“What book?" I ask.

"I don't know. It looks like some diary or notebook; rubbish," she says.

"No, drop it back to the office tomorrow when you bring the blood test results," I tell her, adding the extra reminder.

My mother sighs. "How about I stop over tomorrow night after I finish at bingo with the girls? I will drop it off with Thane. I don't want to see her again by going to that damn hotel," she snaps at me.

"Fine, but Mom, I want those blood results by the time I finish work tomorrow," I tell her before saying goodbye and hanging up. I rest my head back and exhale. Her hate toward my mate is starting to irritate me.
