It can get so bad to the point I become clingy with the guys. Thankfully, they don’t seem to mind, giving me snuggles whenever I need them.
Once he dresses me in my sleepwear, he leaves the room. But not the bus. I can hear him talking to Nate, and I strain to listen.
“How is she?” Nate asks.
“Sleeping,” Liam sighs.
“How are you?” Nate asks, his voice taking a softer tone.
At this point, my life has become a telenovela.
Because not only am I still hung up over my childhood best friend, in love with my bodyguard who wants me too, but refuses to go there, but I also have the hots for my manager.
And said bodyguard and manager are having a secret relationship.
Yup.
Ask me how I know? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you.
I stumbled upon them fucking in a janitor’s closet. Yeah, that sure was something to listen to. Did I get turned on and wish I was in there with them? Wouldn’t you like to know.
Normally, when it comes to anyone so much as looking at Liam in an ‘I want to fuck you kind of way’, I get jealous and want to claw their eyes out.
With Nate, I don’t feel like that. I like that Liam has someone on his side. Someone he can trust and be with in an intimate way. Sometimes I wonder if I were a Beta, would things between us be different?
“I’m worried. Ally has worked so hard to get to where she is now, I don’t want one visit with that witch to ruin it all,” Liam growls.
“We’re going to have to make sure it doesn't. Let Ally know she’s not alone. She has us. And we’d never let her get hurt again.”
Tears sting the back of my eyes, and I have to close them to keep from crying.
It’s moments like this that I ache to be with them, to be their Omega. To be part of their little pack they have going on.
Then I remember I’m not that Omega for them. I’m not his scent match and never will be.
Only thing is, what if there isn’t a scent match for Liam? What if there isn’t a scent match for me?
There have been thousands of people we’ve come in contact with over the years, and not one of them has been it.
What if we’re just not meant to have one? Scent matches are more on the rare side. Not everyone is meant to have one. And millions of people go their whole lives without ever finding them, and they live long, happy lives.
Is Liam really going to let the trauma from his past potentially keep him from being happy and having the life he really wants deep down?
Liam is mine. I don’t care what anyone says. I don’t care that he might have some Omega out there with his name on them.
He is my Alpha. My heart. My fucking soul.
Yeah, I’m not too sure if therapy is helping me in all aspects of my life.
But maybe there’s just some parts of life you're not meant to fix.

“I’m gonna puke,” I breathe out as we sit and wait for the guards to bring Julia down to the visiting area.
“You're going to be fine.” Nate smiles, giving my knee a squeeze. “If it becomes too much, just let us know.”
This morning, the judge officially sentenced Julia to life in prison without parole.
