I would have had to listen to two wet males who had just left their mate. It would not have been a pleasant drive.

She smiled.

So, I hear that you have a nearby birthday.

She paused. Uh, yeah. A week from Saturday. Why?

Do you know many alphas who have omegas?

No. Mainly single dudes. Wait. Where did you get my number?

Walter got it from Ula. He sent a smiley emoji. Well, then, you don’t understand how enthusiastically alphas celebrate their omegas. We delight in the finding and celebrate the possibilities that now exist.

Delightful. What does that have to do with me?

Because, Merry, you are our omega and will therefore be celebrated.

Nope. I refuse.

You don’t get a vote. Also, we will be sharing a party with Ula’s mates.

Why didn’t you say so?

Funny girl. The house is in an uproar for your arrival.

Why? Wait. What? She frowned. When is this happening, and what kind of internet connection do you have?

Fibre. Why?

Because my work requires a fast connection. Don’t worry; I will firewall the hell out of anything that I do.

You aren’t going to fight us on the relocation?

As long as Ula’s guys are ready to move her at the same time. If she isn’t somewhere safe, we are staying here.

You are going into heat.

I don’t care if I burst into flame. If she isn’t safe, I am not leaving.

She could almost see him growling. Fine, I will contact Walter’s group. He has the most suitable home, but Kasim’s may be close.

Well, Clark and Kasim are coming tomorrow, so I can also ask them then.

When?

Ask them. I am going to be baking and keeping an eye on Ula. She yawned as she watched her screen. Anyhoo, I am going to get some sleep.

Good night, Merry.

Good night, Giovanni, Thomas, Richard.

Three smiley face emojis appeared in turn.

Merry grinned and put her phone on her charger. It felt a little silly to be having a conversation like that, but Giovanni texted in full sentences. It made part of her happy.

She pulled the blanket up to her chest and continued smiling as she went to sleep. She felt warmer than normal, but it had been an exciting day. It was to be expected.

Merry assembled the macarons with shaking hands. She shook and flexed her finger before she continued. When the blue and white confections were done, she cleared her icing bags and cursed.
