My head shot up to look at him, and my panic must have been crystal clear on my face, because Wyatt broke out into a deep belly laugh.

“Oh god, you just went green at that thought!” He chuckled.

“Shut up!” I growled, shrugging his hand away.

“You need to wake up and face the reality of your situation. You’ve been in love with her for years and just didn’t want to admit it to yourself. Now that someone else has been there, you are freaking out.”

Did I really love Hazel?

I found her extremely beautiful—who wouldn’t? But it was more than her beauty that drew me to her. It was the sarcasm, the sass, the way her nose crinkled when she smelled food. It was the way she would stop to say hi to any animal she saw. Whether it was a dog, a stray cat, or even a bug. It was the way she covered every surface in her home with brightly coloured items that perfectly matched her bright personality.

“We argued. When I found out, I said some pretty shitty things.”

“Then, you better start making amends. Like it or not, Hazel is going to have a baby, sooner rather than later. If you are going to be part of their life, you need to start behaving yourself. You know her better than anyone else, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you to make it up to her.”

“She was pissed…”

“Then, grovel. Get on your hands and knees, if you have to. Something tells me that Hazel is worth it to you.”

“Of course, she is.”

“But make sure you’re serious before you grovel, because if you aren’t in love with her and lead her on, then that makes you the asshole of the situation.”

“What if the father comes into the picture?”

“Has she told you anything about him?”

“She refuses to. She had a surprise heat after a party and had sex with a pack.”

Wyatt pursed his lips, thinking for a moment before letting a bark of laughter escape. “Well, if the pack has decent people in it, I guess you have a pack! You said you wanted to join a pack one day, maybe this is the answer. Well, in an ideal world, at least. Maybe find out who they are first.”

I threw my head back with a groan, ignoring the pain as my head hit the closed locker behind me. “I’m going to fuck this up.”

“Oh, you’ll definitely fuck up. But I’ve also seen the way that omega looks at you, and I’m pretty sure she’ll forgive you if you are sincere.”

“As soon as we get back from the away game in a few days, I’m going to have to grovel.”

“Buy her flowers, chocolate, and tell her she’s pretty.” Wyatt smiled. “Oh! Take her to one of those places where you can pet baby cows. Girls love that shit.”

I nodded.

It looked like I had plans to make.

Hazel

Phillip:

Lunch at Hawking today? We want to see you again.

Roman:

Please!

Isighed, looking at my phone screen. I could only use the excuse that I had a class so many times.

Hazel:
