Grey gives an incredulous snort. ”Are you the same guy who was completely against this last night? You were the one preaching caution."
Callan slumps. “That was before I met her. And smelled her. And saw her hand that alpha his ass with zero fear."
The three of us exchange glances of amusement mixed with our frustration. We've never seen Callan like this. He's usually too focused on his work at the hospital and our pack to show much romantic interest in anyone. He's incredibly picky, and has never gotten close enough to anyone to consider bringing them into our pack. But ten minutes with Aurora, and he's ready to bond her in as many ways as he can.
"Fuck." Callan buries his hands in his hair and yanks.
Oliver chuckles. ”We tried to tell you."
We're a bunch of pathetic fuckers, pining over this woman who has our entire pack turned upside down.
But she's worth it. I don't doubt that for a second.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Aurora

I DON'T SLEEP.
How can I, when I can't get my mind to quiet? All I can do is lie there in my nest going over and over and over again what that damn pack offered me.
Part of me is suspicious. Why would anyone offer something so big with no hope of getting anything else out of it? But they seemed so damn genuine. And they clearly hold similar beliefs to me, based on the way they treat their omega. They took him to the fucking rally of all places.
It all seems too good to be true. They seem too good to be true.
But what do I have to lose if I take them up on it? Let's say I move in and agree to pretend to consider their pack while I plot my escape. I have a beautiful place to live for a while, I'm as safe from my mother as I'll get, and it'll get the OCP off my back. And they get to feel good about themselves and thank me for saving Enzo. Win/win. It's not like I have to actually agree to pack or alpha bonds.
The biggest con I can think of is their scents and the attraction I feel for all four of them. I don't know what it is about these guys, but they tempt me more than anything in my life ever has.
Another pro— those alphas can cook. The food they sent home with us was delicious.
Rose grunts and rolls over next to me, cuddling against my side. I smile down at her, affection swelling my chest. I adore her so much. There has been some real bullshit I've had to put up with throughout this damn time in the program, but I can't regret meeting her. Or Trix. They've each turned into amazing friends and I'll miss the hell out of them when I'm on the other side of the globe.
Beta will at least be able to possibly visit, but without serious change in this country, Rose is stuck here until she finds a pack or alpha. And that's if they allow her to leave.
