When they left the building, Polly paused and locked up before hearing Loki snickering. The pendant warmed between her breasts, and she slowly turned to see Minoru leaning against Loki’s car.
Alexi looked from Minoru to Polly and whistled. “Oh. That’s what you were talking about.”
“You have your own alpha, Alexi. And your own omega for that matter.” Loki chuckled.
Minoru pushed away from the car and walked toward her. She saw the dark smile on his lips as he approached her. By the time he hugged her, she knew it. She was doomed.
Chapter Four
She couldn’t stop staring at Minoru. She had never imagined him eating pizza. She ate the pepperoni slice on her plate and watched him go through piece after piece.
Loki laughed and said, “You are going to have to get used to his appetites.” He blinked as her pizza slapped him in the face.
Minoru smiled and simply handed her a slice of pizza off his plate. “There you go, precious. Now, what made you sad earlier?”
She paused with her mouth around the pizza. She carefully extracted it and said, “The kitten was adopted.”
Minoru frowned. “The one you wanted?”
“Yeah.” She put the pizza down.
Loki wiped his face with a napkin. “She was so upset and let me hug her.”
“I know. Your scent is all over her.” He moved and pulled her up against him. “It will be fine. There will be other kittens.”
She blinked and inhaled, stepped away from him, and walked away.

Minoru frowned. “She really wanted that kitten?”
“She is wondering how easy she is to replace, Minoru.”
Minoru stood up. “Fuck.”
He followed her scent through the house and found her watching the start of an anime on the couch in the TV room. She was curled up in her cotton kimono, her arms wrapped around a pillow.
He winced and sat next to her. “So, you really wanted that kitten?”
“I wanted it for you. He was perfect for you.” She rubbed her face into the pillow. “I wanted to give something to you.”
He sighed. She looked so young, but he knew she was in her late twenties. She pressed her face into the pillow but watched the screen with one eye.
He put his hand out, and she slipped her fingers into his. He sat with her through the movie, and gradually, she crawled onto his lap.
He tucked the pillow under her head, and she curled up as she watched the cartoon. Polly frowned as if she was trying to understand something.
Minoru ran his hand over her back, feeling the bright tingle of his mark. “Are you trying to learn a language from cartoons?”
“Yes and no. I have been too busy for the other online lessons, so I try and pick out the nouns and grammar patterns.”
“Is it working?”
“Absolutely not, but I am more relaxed.” She smiled and patted his knee.
He fought the electric zing that the contact sent through him. If she knew how close to losing control he was with the lightest of touches, she would have made a run for it.
Her body was large by beta standards, but she was delicately made. She was also stunning. Her features were finely sculpted, her hair was thick silk, and every part of her was perfectly proportioned. His mother and father had seen the pictures of her and contacted him with excited texts and emails. His family on the other side of the pacific was just as excited. They had been dreading the end of the family and were excited about the possibilities that Polly created. The entire family would be watching her, which was the main reason for treating her carefully and making sure that she wasn’t pregnant at the wedding. Perception was everything. He smiled. The guest list for the wedding reception was up to three hundred, and he hadn’t even asked Polly about her side. He didn’t think it would be large, but he didn’t want to presume.
