“Yeah. We swapped memories without emotions, so we know what happened without covering the other person in painful questions. She’s physically twenty-four but mentally about thirty years old. She was trapped for a long time. I am guessing she didn’t want to say that in front of you guys.”
She shuddered. “They looked like alphas. Angry and desperate alphas in grey skin and black hair. It didn’t matter where they were from; that was creepy. They kept trying to break her skin, but it wouldn’t break.”
The gravelly voice came from behind her. “Did you say her skin wouldn’t break?”
Ruby turned and saw someone who qualified as extremely large and fucking scary. Bronze skin, black eyes, and buzzed black hair.
She asked softly, “Who are you?”
“Lebor Urent. Urent Security. An acquaintance of those two men you are with.”
She smiled. “That was discreet.”
He smiled, and his fangs were intimidating. “When you can’t blend in, be discreet. Now, there is another one here who has impervious skin?”
Rayden piped up. “Her sibling. She looks like this.”
He held out his phone, and the wide grin was terrifying. “She bumped into me and told me to go fuck myself when I tried to support her elbow.”
Ruby asked, “Is she still here?”
“Yeah, but she was growling and sparking with energy.”
Ruby covered her eyes. “How are you with electricity?”
“It tingles. Rather fun. Why?”
Ruby didn’t say anything, but he started laughing and left the room. She turned to Kensington and asked, “How many dark Elite are at this event?”
“Well, all that were able to get a night off,” Rayden smirked. “We are a supportive bunch. Also, there is the fact that now that Keres is out in the open, more Elite omegas will surface, like yourself.”
“I am not here for her. I am here for chocolate. Damn. The display is probably trashed.”
Rayden grinned. “If it was, it was Keres. She’s nearly to term.”
“I didn’t notice.” She imagined the devastation that a pregnant woman could wreak on the chocolate. “Mark will be pissed.”
Kensington said, “Achilles will be impressed, and he will make sure that the gallery owner books the company for another event.”
“I am not worried about another booking; I am just worried about a bad review.” She bit her thumbnail.
Rayden smiled. “I am delighted that you made it onto the crew for the show.”
“There wasn’t any doubt. I can even double all the troll bits. If there was an opening, I had it. But then, you knew that.”
He shrugged. “I may have had an idea when Marshall mentioned your name. So, what do you think of us.”
She looked from one to the other. “Well, you are persistent without being aggressive, so that’s good. Handsome. Well-spoken. I am not currently able to appreciate your other qualities.”
Mr. Kensington grinned. “We will take it and wait for things to unfold as they should.”
She sighed. “As long as you wait so that I can get off the birth control. I really want a family of my own and will need one heat to flush the hormones out before I consider my body a safe environment.”
They both stepped forward and wrapped her in them. She really wished she had a sense of smell when it came to scents and bodies. She touched Kensington’s jaw and pulled him down to her. The kiss was soft and pleasant. She couldn’t get his scent, and she couldn’t taste him. It was frustrating, but it was what it was. He nipped her lip, and she jolted. She tasted blood, hers and his. A light link stretched between them. He lifted his head. “It isn’t much, but it’s a start.”
She licked her lips and could taste him a little. “Leather?”
He smiled. “Candy.”
