“God.” James inhales a deep breath. “She smells like fucking heaven, even from here. How does she not realize it?”
I shake my head. “I don’t know.”
I don’t pretend to know why any of this is happening.
“Also, she wasn’t feeling well yesterday,” James adds. “But Charlotte gave her some medicine, and so far, she’s doing well. But keep an eye out.”
“What kind of not feeling well?” I ask cautiously.
“You know what kind,” James says, his eyes narrowed.
“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath, heading down the hallway.
“Yeah. So, have fun, kid,” James calls out behind me. “Don’t stay out too late!”
I leave him laughing at his stupid joke.

HARPER
Good things are allowedto happen to me.
I replay that mantra in my mind, even as I question for the thousandth time how I was dealt this crazy hand.
And no, I’m not just saying it becauseGreysaid so.
It’s the truth.
Good things are allowed to happen.
Which is why I throw on a grey blouse and tight black jeans, readying myself for dinner with Beau.
Whatever medicine Charlotte gave me still pumps through my veins, and even though the cramps and headache are still there, it’s barely noticeable.
I feel almost back to myself.
Albeit still turned on.
But that’s expected when I’m around Alphas.
Right?
Everyone finds them attractive. Not just Omegas.
As I finish the tiniest bit of makeup, I don’t cover my scar.
I decide to let it show.
Charlotte is downstairs in the front room, sitting at the reception desk, and she grins at me.
“You look lovely, Harper. Are you feeling better?”
“Actually, yes,” I say. “I think I just needed to take some fever reducer and get it out of my system, whatever it was.”
“Good,” she says softly.
Her smile fades, but before I can ask her what’s wrong, Beau enters, his grin lighting up the room.
