He really is my scent match. The closest thing possible to a soul mate. Why else would it feel like my heart was exploding out of my chest when he did that?
But I couldn’t bring myself to tell him.
Maybe if it had been any of the other guys, I would have told them one-on-one. But things with Killian have always been a little… chaotic. None of them have made my blood roar through my veins in the same way he has. Both from how attracted I am to him and because he’s pissed me the hell off.
But after seeing the way his stupid mom and older brother treated him? I get why he does the things he does. I meant what I said to him.
I have my own quirks, vices, and dysfunction that have all served a purpose in my past. I’ve definitely had a lot I’ve needed to protect myself from, over the years.
Which means they deserve to knowwhyI act the way I do.
I have to tell them.

My eyes flutter shut and I’m swept away to a blissfully dreamless sleep.
I wake up to my phone buzzing on the nightstand.
Milo
Hey there, sunshine, Killian’s home so we’re getting started with making dinner a bit early
Take your time, though
Reyna
sunshine?
Milo
Everyone else has nicknames for you and as much as I liked ReyReyRazzle, it’s a bit of a mouthful
I can stop if you want
I stare down at my screen, butterflies fluttering away in my stomach. Am I… crushing on Milo?
Well, obviously, I think it’s a lot more than a crush, but the unbridled joy I feel, smiling down at my phone screen like an idiot for a simple nickname is pretty standard for a crush, right?
Milo
Shit, maybe I should’ve chosen a better one
I’m sorry
I’ll stop using it
Reyna
no
don’t
i like it
why sunshine, though?
All the other guys seem to have, well, nicknames that are a little less sweet. Even Killian, who calls me princess—which I guess could be considered a sweet nickname other alphas use with their omegas—normally calls me that when he’s trying to get under my skin.
