He shrugged. “Dalnet was driving me nuts. Solai was clever and sweet. They needed each other.”
“Iwasclever and sweet?” Solai raised her brows.
“Now you are a stunning intellect and graceful partner for my dipshit brother.” Mano smiled.
“Nice save.”
He grinned.
Eliana looked around and saw the others heading upstairs. “Where are they going?”
“They are going to check the repairs to the upper part of the house and probably check on the nest for soundproofing.”
“Oh, right. Henry.”
Henry and Amelia came in as if on cue.
“Hey, Elly! We wondered where you had gone.” Amelia smiled. She walked away from Henry, and the omega pouted.
Elly got a warm hug and smiled at Henry. “The guys are all upstairs.”
He looked at Amelia and sighed. “Right.”
Elly introduced Solai and Hiral to Amelia. They all smiled, and Solai chuckled, “So, what do you do?”
“The technical term is a sin eater, but I can consume curses, spells, any of the stuff I used to think was bullshit.” She looked down at Hiral. “Sorry for the bad word.”
The little girl smiled and ran to the corner to get her stuffed animal.
Solai grinned. “Her dad cusses like crazy and then freezes when he sees her standing in the corner, taking notes.”
Elly chuckled. “So, Amelia, why is Henry watching you like his favourite toy is being taken away?”
“I have to call Wren for a transport. Henry has asked me to stay, and it is kind of tempting ‘cause he is cute and charming, but Keoki has a dark, angry stare that I am not a fan of. So, since they are a package deal, I don’t want to create any rifts.” She shrugged. “I also don’t want to get involved in his heat. That’s not a good idea.”
Elly put her arm around Amelia and rubbed her shoulder. “Do what you feel is right, but make sure they know what’s going on before you leave.”
“Why?”
“Because if Henry is attached and thinks you were whisked away, he would make Keoki go after you. And then you would have to explain it anyway, but everyone would be pissed off.”
Amelia sighed. “Sensible. Will you come with me upstairs so I can tell him, uh, them?”
“Sure. Coming, Solai?”
“No, I am going to head down to the village to get some heat supplies for Henry. No sense in waiting until the last minute.”
They said farewell to the mother and daughter and headed up the stairs.
Amelia clutched her hand, and they came around the corner. The rooms were all open, the beds were low, and the windows caught all the breezes. They could hear the guys down at the end of the walkway, and Amelia dragged her along. Elly chuckled, and then they saw the guys in one of the rooms, next to a door that probably led to the nest.
Amelia smiled at Henry, and the omega nearly came bounding over. Amelia’s hand tensed on Elly’s as she murmured her explanation to Henry.
“What the fuck? What do you mean you are leaving me?”
Keoki came to Henry’s side and put his arm around him. “What did she say, Henry?” He was scowling at Amelia and looking at Henry with concern.
Amelia nodded. “And that sums it up. Henry, I do hope you can find a beta that you get along with, but based on the hostility coming from Keoki, it can’t be me. I wish you luck finding someone who suits you both.”
