It was a dangerous thought and I shoved it away as the elevator doors opened.

Lucy didn’t like me and she certainly didn’t trust me, even if our pheromones were more than compatible.

She was dangerous.

I laid her down in the back of the Explorer, filling the vehicle with my pheromones as quickly as possible so she wouldn’t freak out when I let go.

Forcing myself to sit in the driver’s seat instead of with her so she could use me in whatever way she saw fit was more difficult than it should have been considering my ‘legendary’ control.

My knuckles were white as I gripped the steering wheel and I kept my eyes on them instead of the omega in the back as I waited for Frankie and Liam. I had a very bad feeling that there was nothing I wouldn’t do if she would just let me hold her one more time.

Lucy was dangerous for so many reasons, but the biggest one? I wasn’t positive that I wouldn’t challenge Liam for her if she asked me to.

This was fucking bad.

I’d have to put some distance between us if we were all going to get through this alive.

Otherwise…

I might end up being the murderer Lucy thinks I am.

CHAPTER 16

Lucy

I didn’t dream for the first time in years. All I did was sleep and when I opened my eyes, the cool morning light was like a soft balm against my warm skin. The scent of oranges and tangerines swirled around me as rain pitter-pattered against the window.

Everything was soft and warm, but not too hot that I was sweating. It was the first time I had ever felt so…

I wasn’t sure what it was. Peace? Contentment? I had no idea. There wasn’t a single experience I’d had that was even remotely similar to this one.

Maybe it was close to when my mother had let me rest my head on her knee while she stroked my hair. It had always felt like nothing could ever touch me when I was near her.

My mother was an alpha – a very strong one too, but my father…

Omegas could be murderers just as easily as they could be detectives. They could even kill alphas if they put their minds to it.

And now I was alone with no family other than Frankie.

I closed my eyes and wished I could go back to sleep – back to that world where I’d been loved and protected.

But that world didn’t exist anymore.

Rolling onto my back, I stared up at the ceiling and then frowned. This wasn’t my ceiling. I sat up straight, grabbing my head when it suddenly felt like it was going to explode.

“You’re awake.”

Frankie’s familiar voice kept me from panicking, but this wasn’t my room and I had no idea where the fuck I was. “Can you please explain what’s happening right now?”

“You were feeling sick last night, but Liam was able to get you settled,” Frankie explained. “He suggested you stay at his place since his pheromones were helping you and he thought it would be best if I slept in here with you so you weren’t alone when you woke up.”

Right.

My cheeks grew hot as I remembered how he’d held me in his lap.

And I’d let him.

Eyeing Frankie next to me in the bed gave me déjà vu.
