When she started adding drops to the beads, the scent started to fill the air. It wasn’t overwhelming, but subtle.
My chest tightened as it started to come together. I knew that she was on the right track.
This woman was a witch of sorts. She was bringing his scent back to life, something I never thought I’d smell again.
I knew it would be a little bit different to Shaye, and I might not get it just right, but as long as we could get it as close as possible, I knew she’d be happy.
“Alright,” she said as she mixed the beads with a wooden spoon before scooping a few up and holding it out for me. I leaned in and closed my eyes, breathing in deep. It was uncanny. The scent of sage was a little bit too strong, the cedar too much of an understatement, but it was so close.
She took my feedback and began mixing a little more. When she held the spoon out a second time and I breathed in, a smile lit up my face. My chest bloomed with warmth.
“It’s him,” I said, my own voice breaking. Drew put his hand on my back.
She gave me a sweet smile before she grabbed an empty bottle. She continued to mix them together, giving a little stir and then smelling it again, comparing it to the bowl before adding a few drops here and there.
When she was satisfied, she screwed on the lid, and one of her assistants took both the bowl and the bottle.
Within minutes, they were stuffing the scented beads into a little pouch, and then he was stuffing it in the back of the bear and closing it up. They gave it a little shake before handing it over.
I pressed the bear to my nose and breathed in.
It was strong, and it was him.
“Amazing,” I said.
“We made a bottle to go with it. We won’t charge you for that one. She needs her alpha, too,” the omega said. “Anytime it starts to lose its scent, all you have to do is add a few drops to those beads, shake them up, and it’ll be good as new again. If you run out, you come right back to me.”
“We will, ma’am,” I said as we paid for the bear. I left a twenty on the counter as a tip before we hurried out, ready to get back to our omega.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Shaye
“Ineed more pillows,” I said as I looked around. Micah and Riven hadn’t complained once as they helped empty my room of everything but my bed.
It was half crazy, but they didn’t seem to mind doing the work.
Now, it was cozy in here. My bed was covered in pillows and a few blankets, but they were only mine and what Micah had given me.
“Go get her more pillows,” Micah told Riven. He just nodded and ran out of the house. I heard the jingle of his keys before the front door slammed shut.
Everyone was running around frantically, and I knew it was my fault, but I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Then I breathed in and realized that it was all wrong.
This nest wasn’t complete.
Micah started to say something, but I was already running out of the room. I went into the room that Drew and Lake had been sharing. Lake had tossed one of his shirts on the floor, and I snatched it up before going to Drew’s side and taking his pillow.
On the way out, I snatched two more shirts out of their hamper before heading back to my room.
I threw my treasures on the bed like a crazed raccoon, scavenging for treats before I was off again.
Riven kept some of his stuff in the living room, and I found a pair of his discarded sweatpants on the floor. I snatched them up before heading into Micah’s room. I stole another pillow and a pair of boxers.
Once I got back, I started arranging everything on the king-size bed, tucking the things with their scents in and breathing in again.
It was still wrong.
