This was the last pack on the face of this earth that I wanted to go into heat with. There was no way in hell I would ever go back to Roman and ask him to knot me after his brutal rejection.

I would rather go through a million heats and die in agony before crawling back to him.

I put my hand to my forehead and felt nothing out of the ordinary. But I probably couldn’t feel my own temperature.

I needed a thermometer.

I searched through every drawer in the closet and couldn’t find a single damned temperature stick. This was a room for an omega, for Pete’s sake. Thermometers should be lying around abundantly.

I slapped the wooden door of the closet in frustration and cursed as I hurt my hand.

I sat for a minute and pondered my options.

My pussy clenched painfully, breaking my train of thought. Stone’s dirty talk was the sexiest thing I’d ever heard. The way he described how he would fuck me left me breathless and wanting to be claimed by him.

Stop being so horny and focus, Gabriella!

I would have to break into Roman’s office. Like right now. I didn’t have any more time to waste. I needed heat suppressant pills and a thermometer.

I took a steadying breath to refocus myself.

I got up and made my way out of my room. The hallway was empty and clear, and I could hear loud alpha voices arguing downstairs.

Perfect.

Whatever petty arguments they were occupied in would give me plenty of time to sneak in and out without anyone the wiser.

I put my ear to the thick office door and only heard silence in return. Roman must be one of the alphas arguing downstairs, then.

I tested the doorknob, and to my shock, it was unlocked, and the door swung open easily. I stuck the hairpin I pulled out back into my hair. I didn’t need to pick a lock after all.

I guess Roman didn’t have trust issues like the rest of us mere mortals, I thought to myself with a smirk.

I quickly entered the room, closing the door behind me.

I ran over to the desk and opened the first drawer I could see. There were a few pieces of scrap paper and pen. I closed it shut and opened the next one.

Dammit.

This one was just full of files and folders. I went through each drawer with no luck, only finding common office supplies.

Finally, I reached the bottom drawer and tried to jiggle it open. My heart leaped with excitement when I found it locked.

That means the pills must be in here!

I quickly grabbed my hairpin out from my bun again and bent it into shape. I stuck it into the keyhole and wiggled it back and forth.

“Ugh,” I groaned out.

The lock was stubborn and wasn’t opening. I knelt lower, bringing my eyes level with the keyhole and leaving the lower half of my body up in the air.

I put the hairpin in the lock and tried it one more time. I twisted the metal pin, feeling the gears inside turn. Delighted, I reached over to open the drawer when I suddenly heard loud footsteps behind me.

“Well, well, well, look what we have here, a liar and a little thief.”

I jumped in shock, letting out a screech at being caught.

I got up and peeked over and saw Roman standing there with his arms crossed angrily, an unreadable expression on his face.
