The flowers already were proving me wrong.
“They are only going to keep coming if they believe that you’re their scent match,” Shelby said.
I glanced at her and bit my lip.
“Tell me.”
“I saw Jacob yesterday,” I said slowly.
“Is that who these are from?”
“No.”
“No?” She glanced over and looked at the tag. “Oh my. You did catch the eye of the entire pack, didn’t you? I don’t know whether to be horrified for you or proud. I think I’m leaning towards being proud. Not that I can’t say I’m not completely routing for them to make you see the very large error of your ways for not scooping them up immediately. Dear lord, you’re going to have a whole harem going.”
“We don’t call packs harems.”
“I don’t care.” She laughed.
I wish I was that excited. I could be. It would be so easy and yet, it couldn’t be that easy. It shouldn’t be what I even wanted.
“You need to call him. Or text. Or something,” instructed Shelby. “Let me be here when you do.”
“I can’t call him or text him.”
“Why not?”
“Do I have to go through the whole thing, I can’t accept them as my alpha thing again?” I asked. “Because I still can’t.”
My phone rang next to me.
“Oh, oh oh! Is that one of them? Put it on speakerphone. Put it on speakerphone!” Shelby jumped on the other side of my bed as I looked down at my phone.
I pressed the phone to my ear. Shelby watched. “Hi, Mom.”
“How are you?”
“I’m good.”
Shelby rolled her eyes as she fell back on my bed, hearing who it was as I pressed the phone closer to my ear away from her.
My mother luckily didn’t hear her from wherever she was. It sounded like she was outside, walking likely from the office back to her car. “I haven’t heard from you recently and wanted tomake sure that everything was going smoothly, and that you’ve committed to a major before the end of year.”
“Right. Yes. Of course.”
“Have you decided yet?”
I hesitated. “Not exactly.”
She sighed. “Vera. You need to make your decision soon so you can focus on your studies rather than studies, plural. That’s how you become great at something. You choose something you know you’re good at and hopefully enjoy and apply yourself. I know you want that.”
“Of course, I do.” Even though I still wasn’t sure what that thing was.
“I can set you up with an appointment with the career center. There is a link online. Do you think that would help you lay out your options better? They can look at how you are doing in your classes and what you are interested in. I have no doubt you’re capable of making this decision based on what you want on your own but?—”
“I’m just debating between two routes,” I said. It was a lie. A big lie. “I’ll have it sorted by the end of the month. My professor already came up to me and gave me a recommendation that I should study something in biology, maybe even medical.”
“Oh, my. That’s amazing, Vera. Amazing,” my mother said. “I’d head to the registrar as soon as you can get that sorted then. It doesn’t even sound like much of a decision now, does it? Here you had me worrying that in the end, you were going to choose something impractical like English or something in art. Though I knew better. Glad to hear you don’t have to stress over it much longer.”
