“Probably desperate,” Hunter says. “Thinks she can wiggle her ass and land Wyvern Pack.”
“Desperate’s my favorite flavor.” Finn licks his lips.
I’m going to be sick.
I need to be in Atlas’s arms, but he stands so rigid there must be a rod up his ass.
He won’t look at me.
He still won’t look at me.
A whine clogs the back of my throat. I choke it down.
It’s Jett who touches my shoulder, grounding me.
“We’ll drive her away,” he assures me. “You don’t even have to meet her.”
Her.
Just the thought has me working overtime to bite back a growl of challenge.
God fucking help me.
I’m going to tear this bitch’s throat out.

After I sign away my future, Scorpio and Hikaru disappear like smoke and any dream I had of living a life unnoticed. Craig stays, I assume for a specific reason, but all he does is sit on his hands, looking me up and down.
“Are you sure you’re an omega? You don’t smell like one.”
Now that he’s not overpowered by alpha, Craig smells like wet cardboard and damp newsprint.
If he were a color, he’d be beige, and being under his critical stare almost makes me wish I was awakened. If I were, I could tell him to do anything and he’d pant all over me, just like he did with Scorpio.
Then again, ew.
No thank you.
I don’t need pheromones.
I might’ve signed on the dotted fucking line, but today is not the day I cave to some rando beta. There’s no need to be here, surrounded by omegas who want to shiv me for breathing the same air as our Wyvern overlords.
The need to curl up in my nest is strong. Sliding off the couch, I head for the exit.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Craig snatches my wrist.
His touch sends cockroaches swimming through my blood, coating me in wet cardboard that’s more rotted close-up. Like climbing inside a hot dumpster.
My instincts kick in.
I break his grip, quickly skipping away, putting the sofa between us. “You don’t get to touch me.”
“Sit down and listen when I talk to you.” Craig gives a little growl that lifts the hairs on my arms.
