“I am going home to pack a bag so that I have some clean clothes here. I am going to book a massage because I hurt all over. And then, I am going to check on new feline arrivals at the shelter and do some payroll, so my staff gets paid. Heat’s over, so back to business as usual.”
He blinked. “Right. Can I come with you?”
Renner stared at him. “Why would you want to?”
“It just feels wrong to leave you today.”
“It isn’t a big deal. Now we wait to see if I am pregnant. We won’t find out for sure for a few days. I don’t think any of you have senses that will tell you if I am pregnant earlier.”
He groaned. “You will taste different, but not for a few days.”
“Great. So, get some shoes and come with me. I will wait here for you, but I am driving.”
He snorted and then nodded. “I will just tell them where we are going.”
Renner looked up her favourite salon and made a quick call. Armand was dressed, shod, and ready in four minutes.
They walked in silence, and when they were in her car, he sighed. “Bobby is going to freak out when you come out of this thing in front of him.”
“Well, that won’t be today.”
“No. I have to ask you, why are you so cold?”
“Ah. Why do you think I should be different?”
“Owen said that he was super cuddly post-heat.”
She rubbed her forehead. “And I am sure he was looking forward to it in the weeks that it took him and Mateo to court. I woke up in bed with four people I don’t know. No contract. Probably on the way to being pregnant, and my only comfort for that hour was a spectre. None of you woke up. I tried.” She sighed as she headed to the city. “I hurt. I am covered with bruises. What did Owen say about his first heat with his mate?”
Armand rubbed his forehead. “He said it was magical.”
“They had developed affection by then. I will live with you guys wherever you decide on it. I will have this kid, and then, by our contract, I will look to getting the marks scrubbed after the child is here. You guys aren’t really people I am interested in hanging out with.”
“Why not?”
“What’s my favourite colour? Flower? Food? Cat?” She quirked her lips.
“I... shit.”
“I know you know this, but omegas don’t get weddings. They get their pack. Their pack is supposed to care for them. The omega is supposed to feel that care. You can’t fuck me like an omega and expect me to walk it off like the beta you thought I was.”
He paused. “That’s fair. Why can’t I feel you?”
“Frankly, you guys don’t deserve that when I am feeling so unstable. I am doing things that calm me down today.”
“What are you doing first?”
“Drinking two litres of water. Once that is done, a full body massage, so you can take a nap or sign tits in the waiting room. I know it’s your favourite pastime.”
He snorted. “I am staying with you, and I still want that day with you driving my B car.”
“Not necessary. That was a courtship method. I am bound to this pack now. Don’t hurt yourself.”
“We want to do things with you.”
“You have Owen to dote on if you want to play with an omega.” She made her way to the rescue and waved as she headed through the halls and up to her apartment with a struggling Armand behind her. She got a call and picked it up.
Than asked, “Persephone, what is going on? Your signals are all over the place. What’s wrong?”
