Maybe this was going to take more finessing than I thought.
It looked like a cyclone had gone through her rooms. Everything was strewn wildly about and tossed on the floor.
The cushions were thrown off the couch and torn apart so viciously that there were still little feathers floating in the air.
Everything was out of her drawers, including the ornate golden tea set we had gifted her.
I sprinted to her bedroom, and her mattress was hanging out the damn window, all the art on her walls thrown to the ground. Everything was ripped and torn and smashed.
“Piper?” I called out. “Piper? Where are you?”
As we walked around her rooms, I began to smell a scent I’d never encountered before. At first, it was brisk and crisp, like the tartest, sharpest citrus fruit. Then I began to smell honeyed rose, so sweet that I felt drool begin to pool in my mouth, my incisors start to ache.
Whatwasthat? Had Piper ordered brunch? Could this delicious smell possibly have come from the palace kitchens. . .?
“Is thather?” Teddy asked in awe, and I saw him rub the back of his big hand over his mouth, drool spilling from between his fingers. “Isthatwhat her perfume smells like?”
“It can’t be,” Erain said.
“But it is,” Teddy insisted, and I saw his Alpha incisors lengthen, sharpen into his lips. “It’s definitely her. God, she smellsgood.”
As usual, he said what we were both also thinking.
That was our Omega’s scent.
It waswaybetter than I had ever imagined, incredibly appealing and beautiful.
My cock, which had been lying dormant, was suddenly painfully, achingly hard.
I stared down at the bulge protruding from my pants, trying to shove it down with my hand, but it wouldn’t go.
“She didn’t smell like that on Selection Day,” Erain muttered.
“She hadn’t perfumed yet,” I growled. “Shut up and let’s just find her and make it right.”
I saw Teddy grab his balls and shift, trying to walk with the dick bouncing between his legs.
“What’s this?” he asked, stooping down by her heavy oak desk and picking up a tiny scrap of white fabric.
All the blood in my body had gone to my cock, so for a moment I stared at it stupidly.
“Her wedding dress!” Erain cried.
“Shit, what happened to her?” Teddy yelped, running hands through his hair so that his curly waves stuck up in all directions. “Was she attacked by something?”
He whirled around in a panic, and I stepped back to avoid him, hitting my erect cock painfully on the desk.
Erain was picking up the pieces, but I looked at how they had been scattered in a circle.
“No, I think Piper did that.”
“Why?”
Why the fuck indeed?
I couldn’t find the words, so I renewed calling for her, louder this time.
Where could she be?
