Page 125 of Curvy Nerdy Omega

“We need to get closer,” I whispered.

Cas moved, staying low as he kept to the perimeter and I followed, snapping more photos of their shadows against the blinds. They couldn’t hide from me forever. That fucking house had a million windows.

I looked up, making sure my memory was still as good as I thought it was.

One downside to the vaulted ceiling design was the twelve-foot windows. Most people didn’t cover the tops with curtains since they wanted natural light as well as privacy.

Normally, I’d climb a tree but there were no trees close enough to the house.

Why would I need a tree when I had Cas?

He set his back to the wall in a squat and braced himself without me even having to ask. I put one foot on his thigh and took the hand he offered me.

One, two, and three.

I activated my core and jumped, pressing down on his thigh as I stepped up to place my other foot on his shoulder.

We both took a breath and then I did the same thing.

One, two, and three.

My other foot landed on his shoulder and he smoothly stood, wrapping his hands on my ankles to brace me. For the first time in my life, I was glad I was tall for an omega.

Slowly pulling the camera up, I adjusted the lens to accommodate for the change in distance, focusing on the couple sitting on the couch together. I snapped another series of photos and kept going as Melinda pulled something out of her purse.

It was the sonogram.

Focusing on that, I made sure to zoom in so I could get all the details on it that showed just how far along she was, where it had been taken, and who the omega was.

Melinda Valor.

I refocused on them and Dane took the sonogram, staring at it like he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.

Did he know she was pregnant, or was this the first time he was finding out?

“You know…it feels different seeing it,” Dane said.

I recognized that voice.

Moving the camera out of the way, I realized this was the same security guard that had let me through the gate the first time I came here with Liam.

Well, fuck. That meant he had access to the logs that tracked everyone’s coming and going at the estate.

This would explain how these two never got caught and how she was pregnant with his child. That was definitely a good motive, wasn’t it? He couldn’t be with her when she was with Gideon.

Removing him from the picture would definitely work to his benefit and Dane was a blood cousin. If Liam was out of the picture, there was a chance he could be chosen as the next heir.

Melinda was already five months along though. How did they plan to explain that? Didn’t really matter I guess, but I was curious.

“We’re having a girl,” Melinda told him in that soft voice omegas used to drive alphas wild. “Do you think she’ll grow up to be an alpha, or an omega?”

Dane jumped to his feet when there was a knock on the door and I snapped another series of pictures, realizing he had the red eyes of a legacy alpha, they were just so dark they looked black.

He was definitely a candidate for the heir to Valor if Liam was out of the picture.

Cas must have felt my spike of fear because he tapped my ankle. I looked down and he raised an eyebrow, silently asking what I wanted him to do.

Slinging the camera around to my back, I reached for his hand and jumped down. “I think Liam’s at the door.”
