And the fact that their Omega dated their rival business pack doesn’t help either.

Press will be there, and our attendance would show that there are no problems between each company.

An Omega on our arm makes everything look good, as well.

Which is why we needed April.

She looks at me, her lips pulled into a thin line, as if she’s already figured it out. “So, that’s an interesting way of meeting your ex.”

I nod. “I didn’t expect her to show up. I’m sorry.”

She shakes her head and sighs. “You don’t need to be sorry. It’s just…why are you attending her wedding?”

“Her pack ownsMason Tech.”

“Oh, shit,” April mutters. “That makes sense.”

“It’s all for show,” I sigh. “I couldn't care less about any of this. But in our world…” I trail off.

“Yeah, I get it. You could have told me, though, from the beginning.”

The smile is gone from her face, and the mood has dampened.

Her scent is just as strong as before, with the vanilla almost completely faded.

I fucked it all up.

“So, dinner?”

Hey, I know my ex ruined the mood, but what do you think about moving in with us?

She gives me a soft smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. “Sure.”

The group chat I have with Liam and Hunter is exploding, both of them waiting impatiently for April’s answer.

I reluctantly answer them.

Ran into Kelly. Will ask later.

APRIL

“Eww,you’re going to their exes’ wedding?” Skylar sits on the couch with her feet in River’s lap. “I would never.”

“It’s not a big deal,” I mutter. “We’re all adults, and they broke up years ago.”

And we’re not really dating, so none of this should matter.

During my dinner with Donovan, he explained more about Kelly.

They were barely eighteen when she got together with the three of them, and it ended abruptly when she found another pack.

Said pack just happened to be creating a tech company at the same time they were.

Both blew up.

This is the social game they play, Donovan explained to me.
