Page 249 of Omega for the Pack

She cut me off. “We were looking forward to your call. Do you have time to come in today for the interview?”

“Yes,” I said, put off by her already.

“Great, we’ll see you today at three. Do you have the address of our location?”

After sorting out the address and hanging up on her, I seriously doubted whether or not I should go through with this.

The driveto the dating agency was hellish.

The rain pelted furiously against my windshield, obscuring my vision of the road. Once I reached the agency, I was relieved to finally park the damn car. Grabbing my umbrella, I struggled to open it while standing in the rain and getting soaked. The space in my car was too small to unleash the umbrella inside of it.

The building was tall- made of glass, and looked professional. The wordsEnchanted Nests Agencyon the front were embossed in gold. It wasn’t some rinky-dink establishment. Suddenly, I felt self-conscious and not dressed for the occasion. I looked down at the raggedy jeans I was wearing with my black shirt with a picture of a rose in front. I looked like the poorest omega to ever step foot in here.

I ran across the parking lot and made it to the building, my shoes soaked through.

The door was tall, well above my height, swinging open automatically for me.

Walking inside, I took in the beige and gold tones of the walls and carpeting. Upon entering, there was a high desk made of marble and a blond beta female sitting behind the desk. Her hair came in waves around her shoulders, and she wore a dress with a name badge withChelseaon it. She pursed her lips upon seeing me enter. I knowIwould be confused if I saw some chick wearing jeans entering an establishment like this.

But whatever.

She was going to have to get used to it.

“Hi, how may I help you today?”

“I’m here for an interview. I have an appointment today at three,” I said.

“Your name?”

“Jade.”

She typed endlessly on the computer with her long nails while I stood there, getting annoyed. She was the same girl on the phone, if I wasn’t mistaken. If she didn’t want me to be there, she could just say so. I didn’t have much patience for bullshit, and I could sense it a mile away. When she was finally done making me wait, she looked up with a large smile.

Fuck that. This Chelsea bitch knew what she was doing.

“Third floor, and it’ll be the room to the left. Room 204,” she said.

“Kay, thanks,” I said.

My wet sneakers squeaked on the shiny floors as I walked to the gold-covered elevator doors. In the elevator, I contemplated what the hell I was doing here. My heart was starting to beat faster, and my breaths were coming in short. I was way out of my element, but if I was going to get matched to a wealthy alpha pack, it would solve all my problems. When I saw my bestfriends with their packs, I was envious but also happy for them. Maybe this would be the only way I’d find my happily ever after.

I wanted to faint when the elevator reached the third floor. Regardless of how much I wanted a pack, I still wanted to run.

I could find another way to pay my rent.

This idea was so stupid.

Breathe, Jade,I told myself.

When I reached room 204, the door was already wide open.

It looked like a conference room with a long table with four alphas sitting behind it. A whole pack was about to interview me, and I was settling into full panic mode. The alpha I met outside the bathroom was there, dressed impeccably in a suit, and my heart nearly stopped when I saw someone else there.

Bruce was there, too, looking distinguished in his suit. And he looked just as surprised to see me.
