LUCY.

We stayed hugging each other for a long time. My tears had calmed down and so was the pain inside my heart, but I was scared that if I moved, something would snap inside him and would make him leave again.

“Let’s go home.” His hand smoothed over my hair before he withdrew his body away from mine.

I just nodded my head, biting my bottom lip as I slowly tilted my head to meet his eyes. I knew I shouldn’t. I should have learned by now not to look him in the eyes, but I couldn’t stop myself.

A weak smile tugged on the Alpha’s lips before his hand went to cup my cheek, his thumb trailing slowly on my lips, and I knew this was too early, but his action made my pussy throb in an instant.

“Do you need to take anything with you?”

“Just my backpack. It’s my only property. “I pulled my body away from him and turned around to grab my bag because I was sure if I stayed longer to enjoy his touch, he would soon smell my arousal and it just was not appropriate at this moment.

But then I suddenly felt empty without his warmth.

I heard the door being opened, and when I looked back, the Alpha was already holding it open for me. We walked in silence until we were almost at the end of the corridor when I remembered something.

“We forgot to lock the door,” I told him. before rushing back to the apartment door and locking it from the inside after making sure I had the keys in my jeans pocket.

The Alpha was just at the other end, waiting for me to come back. He had his hands inside his pocket, and the solemn expression on his face just made me want to hug him. But it could wait until I knew I was allowed to do that.

I was almost near him when another apartment door opened and revealed a young man with hazelnut brown hair with green eyes. He flashed a smile at me before he blocked my way.

I saw the Alpha’s chest heave, and I knew I would be in trouble again.

“Hey! I think you’re the new Omega they were talking about. My name is Henry.” He extended his hand, a goofy smile on his face.

I waited for the Alpha to say something, but he didn’t. So I made my move. I took and shook his hand, but withdrew mine right away. “Nice to meet you, Henry. I’m Lucy. And I have to excuse myself because the Alpha is waiting for me.”

“The Alpha?” He repeated and snapped his head around until he saw the Alpha, who was just looking at us.

“Alpha,” he acknowledged, bowing his head a little too low as his cheeks turned red. “I felt a strong aura, but I just dismissed it. My apologies, Alpha.”

“No harm done.” The Alpha answered while his eyes were on me as I walked toward him, my face void of any expression.
