Page 47 of Sincerely, Pack Pucked
Percy tilted his head to the side. “You managed to losebothour numbers? Now I kind of hate that we only texted through the online apps, otherwise you totally would have recognized my number!”
“Oh god. I wanted to call you guys and tell you, but I was such a dope. This is too much!” My words were rushed as I stood up. The coffee shop was feeling claustrophobic, and I needed to get out immediately. My head was already swimming as I tried to push my way out. Thankfully Jasper moved and didn’t stop me as I stood.
Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me into a chest that smelled distinctly of smoke and applewood. It wasn’t the dirty kind of smoke, but the sweet, slightly charred one that was masculine, dark, and comforting. The scent was undoubtedly alpha.
“Calm, omega,” the deep voice rumbled. It was the only alpha I had yet to be introduced to, the dark, angry-looking one who had hung back slightly, watching us. His touch was surprisingly gentle yet firm.
D. The surly pack lead.
He looked much too good, with dark brown hair that fell around his ears and a strong jawline. He towered over me, easilya foot taller than me. Instead of being daunting, it made me feel safe and at ease.
Despite it being rather embarrassing, I inhaled that scent, letting it comfort me. My muscles relaxed as the alpha I had only just met muttered soothing words. It was easy to see why he was the pack lead. He emanated an aura of control and power.
We were moving, out of the coffee shop and into the daylight.
“I think we all need to sit down and have a chat, don’t we?” D said softly, kissing the top of my head in a move that made my insides mushy. He was clutching my bag in one of his hands. Thankfully, he had the sense to consider grabbing it because I had been too flustered to remember.
“I don’t even know your name,” I mumbled. It felt slightly wrong to leave a coffee shop with someone whose name I didn’t even know. Although we had been talking for nearly two years, it still didn’t feel quite right. In the blink of an eye, our relationship had gone from extremely online to feeling very real and in person.
“Devin. My pack mates are Percy, Saint, and Jasper.”
I pulled back, looking up at the alpha—at Devin—who was looking down at me warmly. It was nice to finally learn their names. Deep down, I knew that if I had simply asked them while chatting online, they would have told me, but I had enjoyed that bit of secrecy and distance between us.
Apparently, that was quite an idiotic idea of mine, because there was anything but distance between us, considering I had done the knotty nasty with two of the pack and hadn’t even realized it.
“This is a lot…” I mumbled.
“It is. Our place is near here. We all need to sit down and discuss everything from the start.”
I nodded dumbly. Part of me knew it wasn’t the best idea, but I was too frazzled to think clearly, and the thought of having theconversation I was sure we were about to have in public made my stomach turn sour.
“What’s your name, Maple girl?” Jasper asked. His voice was full of hope and excitement, quite the opposite to my own panicked screech. It dawned on me that in all of the panic and conversation, I had yet to actually tell them my name. I finally knew their names. I suppose it was time for them to know mine.
“Mable… my name is Mable.” I spoke so softly, I almost thought they wouldn’t hear me. But their alpha ears were finely tuned.
Saint smiled. “Mable who smells like maple… perfection.”
The look on his face was almost adoring. I didn’t know what I expected when I finally ran into the alphas I had slept with again. Maybe anger for not contacting them or telling them I was pregnant, but I certainly didn’t expect the pure delight and excitement that was plastered on their faces.
My face heated at his words, and I was transported back to a few months ago, when he was whispering equally sweet things to me in the shower while he knotted me.
I needed to get away from them before I started to smell like the horny monster I was.
Chapter 16
Saint
The omega I had been dreaming of for months, since I had met her in the showers, was standing right in front of me. Only, it was so much better than I’d ever imagined, because not only was she the omega I met in the showers, but she wasalsoMaple. The girl I had been talking to for ages, who knew me for me and, even better, liked me for me.
Plus, Mable was an omega I had a personal connection with and knew for a fact that it could lead to absolutely mind-blowing sex. My heart thumped behind my ribs, my nose catching that deliciously sweet scent rolling off her in waves. It made my skin hum, my instincts calling out for her.
It was a goddamn dream come true. I had no idea who my guardian angel was, but they deserved a stiff drink and a pat on the back.
Maybe a blow job.
If alcohol and shit were permitted in their group. The thought nearly made me laugh, and I cleared my throat, my eyes drifting to Mable’s stomach.
She waspregnant.
