Page 12 of Second Shooter

“Yup. I don’t have to do it in a dress for one thing.”

The group chuckled, and the images continued.

The sweet one with Emma taking Rayd’s arm was another one to pause on.

There was laughter at the bridesmaid duels, and then everyone held their breath as the wedding ceremony began.

The walk of the wedding party, then the look when Rayd looked at Zara for the first time, and the rest of the legion saw her as well. She had split-screened it, using her second shooter, so both sides of that moment were displayed side by side.

Taka asked, “How did you do that?”

“I have a second shooter. Well, I am the second shooter. But anyway, that is how we managed two thousand images.”

She smiled, and they continued through the slide show. They were all taking notes about their favourite images. It was adorable.

They went through the family photos where Lyric was standing with her brother and then with the legion and an older male who looked like Lykon.

The pictures of the couple with Emma were so sweet. She looked like she was going to explode with pride.

The others were with their families, and when she saw one of the photos, Win understood how they had gotten the hotel. Taka was standing next to Minoru and his wife. Since it was family photos, it meant he was related to the hotelier.

They continued on through the images and then got to the cocktail hour, and the laughter started. Then, they went quiet as the images of the women and their babies went across the screen.

Friends and family eating snacks and having fun while they talked about how excited they were for the quad was fun. There were children. Folks with enhancements and talents using them, among others. It was a truly safe space for them, and they used it.

The reception, meal, speeches, and dancing were discussed, and they laughed at so many moments that they hadn’t been able to see because they were stuck at the table while people handed their mates food they didn’t want to eat.

The dancing came last, and Win paused. “Excuse me for a minute. I need a break.”

She grabbed her snack bar and bottle of water. They were looking at her. “Sorry. My metabolism is a little weird.”

Zara asked, “Weird how?”

“Really fucking fast. It’s why I like to work evenings. It’s easier to manage your hunger when all the restaurants are open.”

Rayd blinked. “Right. That does help.”

Lyric smiled. “It doesn’t help that she has two metabolisms that are fighting for dominance in her.”

Win glanced at her. “Squealer.”

“Oh, come on. This is the coolest thing ever. Another Elite omega right here? This is amazeballs.”

Win sighed and finished her snack. “Right. Can we continue the slideshow? There’s some amazing dancing coming up.”

She dusted her fingers on her jeans and hopped back up on the seat.

Zara asked, “You are really one of the Elite omegas?”

“Yup.”

“Can you show us?”

“Nope. Not unless you want this area soaked in blood. It’s a long story, but there is a reason I don’t shift into that form unless it is urgent.”

Rayd paused. “How bad are the scars?”

Win rocked her jaw from side to side. “Six Elite alphas tried to bind to me at the same time and competed with each other for damage. The scars are extensive.”
