Arriving at the vehicle, I open the passenger door and help her in. I hit the power start button as soon as I could to get it warmed up for her and she sighs as she sinks into the seat.

Closing the door, I feel lightheaded at the way things are going.

Pulling out my phone, I try to figure out what I’ll tell the guys as I walk around the SUV.

Fuck it.

Me:

I’m taking our omega to eat dinner. It’s snowing and I’d prefer she not drive in this. How does the boss just let her disappear for the day?

I knowshe’s her own person, and I don’t want to live in her asshole, but Evan has been stalking her all day. I wonder if she noticed an extra pair of eyes on her?

Aiden:

Mr. Sullivan doesn’t want to lose Aisling by being overbearing. He doesn’t talk much about her to me, but I hear shit from time to time.

Caelin:

Lucky bastard. Be a gentleman and don’t scare her. I’m stalking Hollis tomorrow.

Just a normal day for us,folks.

Smirking, I get into the vehicle, noticing that Aisling is texting someone. Is she going to give her dad my name? There aren’t many men named Domh, and I don’t know how he’d feel about me taking her out to dinner or being anywhere near her after what Aiden did.

Speaking of, I hope he finally tells us why she has the knife I gave him. I’m sure it happened in the moment, and that it made some sort of fucked up sense at the time.

My phone buzzes as I get comfortable, and I wince as I see Cian’s name.

The Boss:

Domh, are you with my daughter?

This is how I die.I can see at least eighteen ways he could kill me, which is saying something.

Me:

Yes, Sir. I bumped into her in the city. I didn’t initially know who she was. I don’t want her driving in this snow, so I suggested grabbing a bite until it passes. I’m about to check the weather forecast to see if it’s supposed to get worse or not. Is that a problem?

The Boss:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen you text so quickly. I’d rather you were with her than some other shit head. I was hoping she’d get home before the snow started.

Blowing out a breath,I nod.

“Why do you look like you’re about to shit yourself?” Aisling asks.

Welp, I’m busted. She won’t know Aiden and I are pack unless Cian tells her, and I doubt he will.

“Your father just texted me and I thought I was going to die,” I tell her, brow raised as I glance over at her. “I’m his lawyer. I had no idea you were his daughter until he messaged me.”

“Oh. Oh!” Aisling squeals, making me bark out a laugh as she glances at her phone. “Shit. I guess Domh isn’t a very common name, huh? I’ve been actively dating for the last few months, and no one has died, so you should be fine. I mean, not that this is a date or anything.”

Her cheeks are lit up on fire as I chuckle under my breath. “Aisling, you’re a breath of fresh air,” I tell her. “Personally, I want this to be a date, but it can be whatever you want it to be.”

Tapping on my screen, I check the weather and see it’s going to be coming down for the next two hours.

“It does look like we’re going to be closing down this restaurant tonight,” I state, putting my phone in the cupholder. “The snow is going to be coming down for a while.”
