Chapter 203 She Deserves Better

“Shall we go then?” Allen asked as he blocked out the images of Lexi’s belly swollen with their pups as she waddled around the kitchen stuffing her face with cakes that Orvar insisted on sharing with him.

He tried his best to school his face into an expression that resembled something like eagerness in the hopes that they would just a*s*sume that he was eager to get on with the schedule for today.

The same delirious look of happiness that was plastered all over the omega’s faces, shone from Allen’s own expression, and Lexi couldn’t help but laugh, completely oblivious as to the real reason for his almost inane grin.

“This pack mentality is really something.” She said shaking her head as Allen frowned at her in confusion.

“What do you mean?” He asked carefully, hesitant to ruin the connection that he had thought they made last night with any clumsily spoken words today.

“Nothing. Forget it.” Lexi sighed waving her hand dismissively at him, “I hope I’m not gonna be expected to pick up all of Miss Horny’s workload anyway. I have enough s**t to deal with, without hers added on top. Do you have any idea how difficult it’s been to put together a comprehensive program revolving around Daemons that I can actually lecture on in a way that people will understand?”

Allen hissed back in irritation, ‘I’m damned if I do and damned if
