Henry turned to Keoki and started to yell at him while the omega cried through the shouting.
Amelia stepped in and snapped, “Henry! He’s your alpha and deserves your respect. Not all alphas with omegas are looking for anything else. You two are a solid couple. Just because Syar has a beta doesn’t mean you need one, too.” She sighed. “We aren’t collectibles.”
Henry lunged for her, and Amelia squeezed Elly’s hand as Henry’s arms wrapped around her friend. He was sobbing out loud, and Keoki looked worried. He looked to Eliana. “What should I do?”
She pried her hand away from Amelia’s and stepped out of the room. She looked at Keoki and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Make Henry happy. He is so different now. Why does he want her?”
“He wants to wrap himself around her because she is strong and stable and meets his gaze. She helped him for no other reason than that she could.” She asked him, “What is the problem you have with her in general?”
He leaned in and whispered, “She isn’t pretty.”
He didn’t see her hand coming, but when he slammed into the doorway, she knew that he had felt it.
Amelia looked at her. “Elly? What’s wrong?”
“Can you do that makeover spell you developed?”
“Uh, don’t want to. People will stare.”
“I just need you to do it and hold it for a minute.”
Amelia stepped away from Henry, whispering words that refused to stick in Elly’s mind. A flat disk appeared over Amelia’s head and lowered, and as it passed down, her hair curled, makeup softly coloured her face, and a dress that highlighted her exaggerated hourglass figure was left in place. Keoki stared and blinked. “I didn’t guess. I just didn’t want Henry to feel self-conscious in public.”
Henry winced. “I would have. Four days ago even. When I was wrong. The darkness is gone now. She glowed to me before she did this.” He waved at the makeover.
Amelia wrapped her arms around her waist. “Can I dismiss it?”
Keoki nodded. “Yes, I am sorry for your discomfort.”
Amelia sighed. “It’s fine. I am just not a fan of my body. My activation wasn’t comfortable, but I managed to kill him and get loose, so that was something. My body was the catalyst to the initial abduction.”
She moved her fingers, and the disk rose, lifting over her head and disappearing. She was back to her hair in a thick braid, no makeup, a tired complexion, and the concealing clothing that Kane had obtained.
She looked at Keoki and gestured at her appearance. “This is where I am safe. This is where people ignore me and look past me.”
Henry lunged at her and held her.
Amelia said, “Ah, hey, hey. You don’t get it. I like people to look past me. It is my favourite thing.” She stroked his hair. “Come on, Henry. You are going to be in heat in the next day or so. You and Keoki will manage just fine. You can send me a text when you can think again.”
“You will come and give me a hug?” Henry looked so hopeful.
She chuckled. “No, honey, but I will cheer you on and congratulate you on the possibility of pregnancy.”
“I can’t have kids.”
“Yeah, but I removed the blockage. There is a lot more energy available to your body now.” She kissed his forehead. “Now, go get ready for your heat. Get your favourite snacks, water, sports drinks, and something with a calming scent.”
“Can I have your shirt? The one that you arrived with,” he whispered.
She nodded. “Of course, sweetie.”
“And your underwear?” His expression went from hopeful to sly.
“It isn’t your size.”
He laughed and rubbed his cheek along hers.
