My phone dinged and I blinked away the tears gathering in my eyes to read the text coming in.
Felix: I’m giving you space, but I don’t want you to take that like I’m not going to keep trying, Tori. We don’t have to rush anything but I would really love it if you’d give me a chance. Even if it’s just in text.
I could picture the anxious omega worrying over the text and how to send it. Then likely panicking after it was sent.
The tears tracked down my cheeks as I answered so he didn’t have to suffer with it.
Tori: Why would you still want to try? If you haven’t figured it out, I’m not pack material.
Felix: I refuse to believe that fate makes mistakes. There’s a reason that we were put together in this world. I’d like to find out what that reason is.
Tori: What if I can’t give Warren a chance? You said yourself that he’s part of your life and you won’t leave him behind.
Tori: That means we won’t work either
Felix: What if you get to know me and then through me, can get to know him. I’d be the neutral ground. A slow introduction that you don’t have to face alone
This sweet omega was willing to act like a shield for his alpha. It had me fighting with myself to just give in but I couldn’t do it.
Tori: I’ll think about it.
Felix: Thank you
Here I was being a stubborn mess and he was thanking me. My mate was definitely out of the norm.
Needing a distraction I put my phone on the charger and started making dinner. Instead of the usual quick meal I started the process of making a homemade soup. Chicken tortellini was my favorite so I set about cutting up the veggies and getting the chicken seared then cooking in the broth.
Soon the room was filled with the hearty scent of herbs and chicken though my mind was anything but quiet.
When the soup was simmering I started gathering up the garbage and slipped on my shoes to run out to the cans before dark. The last thing my frayed nerves needed was to run into the rogue raccoons who were terrorizing me the other night.
I locked the door behind me and hurried down the sidewalk. If anyone was watching I probably looked like a psycho kicking the cans first to test for wild critters before tossing the bag inside.
Once I’d made it back to my door I froze at the sight of flower petals on the ground in front of my door.
Were those there before?
No, they couldn’t have been. I’d sat the bag down on the ground to lock my door. I would have seen them.
My hands shook as I unlocked my door and slipped inside and slammed it shut, locking it quickly behind me.
Footsteps in the hall had me standing and peering through the peephole. I only caught a glimpse of dark-blond hair and a long, black coat but it was enough.
Why was Warren here? How did he find where I lived so soon?
Did he think this was romantic? Things were slipping from desperate to downright creepy with him. I thought Felix and I were on the same page, that I wasn’t ready.
Leave it to an alpha to not listen. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Kat: SOS I have to go birthday shopping for Grant. Please tell me someone is available.
Bear: We’re out, Ellie is currently asleep with Adelyn.
Serenity: I’m out to sea
Serenity: If you go get margaritas and queso without me we can’t be friends
Kat: We would never
