She grinned and got into her crappy car, heading back to Loki’s. She was there for a few minutes when he got a call and went into his office. He came out a few minutes later with excitement in his body. “Ulric is on the way. I also need a pickup later.”
She nodded. “So, what is the deal?”
He grinned. “My custom beta just showed up, and I am going to have to set my claim on her sooner rather than later. There is another alpha and an omega involved. Can you get blank pack registration documents? Just in case?”
She smiled. “Of course. I am rather relieved that you will have a new person to fuss over.”
He grinned, and his teeth were longer and pointier than normal. “Her name is Bella. Ulric invited me because he recognized her mark. She has a nine-tailed fox etched on her back, the same way yours is. She’s just coming off a heat.”
“Wow. Okay, your phone charged?”
“Yup.”
“Good. Call me if you need anything for you or her.”
“I will. Ulric mentioned a few concerning things, so stay close to your phone.” Loki nodded. “You can take care of the conferences I had today?”
“Yes. No one will know you are trying to weave a web of seduction around your mate.” She grinned and chuckled. “Or, depending on how smitten you are, you might jump her in the hallway.”
He snorted.
“Just remember how bitchy I am when I am going through my cycle. Be gentle. Be considerate, but beat the other guys to the first mark.”
He laughed. “Thanks, coach.”
They chatted, and when Ulric’s car pulled up, he headed to the passenger door and got in.
She smiled and watched the car pull away and snorted. They grew up so fast.
Six hours later, she was eating a slice of toast when the call came through. Meetings were over, but it was time to head to Ulric’s. She got the list of snacks and laughed.I have shit to do. See you in two hours.
She finished the customs paperwork for some shipments and authorized the import. She did the shopping and headed to the omega’s home. Polly pulled up and could tell the day was going to get more complicated. She walked around, took the bags out of the SUV, and closed the hatch before exhaling and walking toward the door.
There were two men who looked at her with contempt while she struggled with the bags of ice cream, snacks, and the small bag over her shoulder. They moved to block her.
She straightened her shoulders and pulled on some of the energy Minoru had left in the pendant, “I am bringing supplies and a change of clothing for Loki.” They didn’t move, so she sighed. “Get out of my way, or I will drop you to the ground.”
They lunged for her, so she dropped the bags and pulled one man’s head down as she brought her knee up. There was a crunch, and she kicked the other man in the midsection, sending him stumbling back to sit down hard. She collected the bags and walked into the house.
“Hey, Loki. Here is the change of clothes. I got the other stuff you wanted as well. It’s rolling around with your boxers.” She held up the grocery bag. “This has the panorama of ice cream you were after. I included your favourite cookies.”
She set the bag down on the coffee table. “Now, Loki, do you need anything else?”
He grinned. “No. Thank you. Oh, Polly, this is Bella. Bella, this is Polly.”
Polly smiled at the woman with brown hair and soft brown eyes. She looked curvy and adorable. “Bella, can you text me your sizes? If I need to pick up clothing for you, it will speed things up considerably.”
Bella looked confused. “Um, all right.”
Polly turned to Loki. “Take her phone and put my number in, Loki.”
Bella smiled. “Wow. I never thought to see a woman bossing Loki around.”
Polly snickered. “He isn’t trying to fuck me, so as long as the work is done, he doesn’t need to control me. I get things done.”
Ulric cleared his throat. “Miss, I am Ulric.”
“Yes, omega, I know who you are.” She stifled a smirk at his need for attention.
