A jealous feeling rises in me. I want to be the one to make sure she’s taken care of. She’s my Omega.
“What’s your relationship with Ally?” I ask, crossing my arms. “Apart from being her manager.”
“That’s a little complicated,” he chuckles. “I’ve wanted that woman for a long time now. But with me working for her, and the cluster fuck between her and Liam, I’ve been trying to figure out when and where it would be the best time to finally have my girl.”
“And now is that time?” Gavin asks with an amused chuckle.
“I don’t see why not?” Nate shrugs. “The only reason Ally and Liam aren’t packed up is because of Liam’s past. That is no longer an issue, seeing how his Omega is someone Ally wants to be with, too. So, now Ally and Liam can be together. I’m with Liam; I want Ally. Now I can have them both.”
“You're not touching Lulu,” I snarl. “It’s bad enough I have to share her with that guy, I'm not sharing her with you, too.”
“You don’t have to worry about that, my guy. As pretty as Lulu is, my heart is equally split for only two people. Although I do like her personality. I think the two of us will be great friends.” He grins.
That's a bit of a relief. If Lulu did end up wanting to be with Nate, I wouldn't fight her on it, but there are already too many changes happening within the past half hour, and I don’t think I can handle anything else right now.
“What about you?” Nate asks Gavin. “You want Ally?”
“I hardly know the girl,” Gavin chuckles. “But damn, that spitfire personality is a turn on,” he comments longingly. “But as of right now, I think it’s safe to say I don’t have any romantic intentions with her. But that doesn’t mean I’d be against it.”
“Fair enough.” Nate nods. “Same goes for me. Although I don’t see that happening.”
“What’s wrong with Lulu?” I growl. “She not good enough for you?”
“You need to tone it back down, dude,” Nate warns. “Or Ally is going to eat you alive.”
“She really is a force to be reckoned with, isn’t she?” Gavin questions, a grin on his face.
“Oh yeah,” Nate answers. “She runs the show. So, might want to get used to it.”
“Have fun with that.” Gavin claps my back with a chuckle.
I shrug. “I love a good brat.” It’s a turn on when Lulu gets a little mouthy.
“Brat?” Nate raises a brow. “Nah, my man. She’s more like a feral raccoon. Especially when she has caffeine. Keep that away from her. With her meds, it causes her to get a little... lively.”
“So we’ve seen,” Gavin says with amusement.
“She was a little more theatrical than she normally is. But she always has this fun spirit about her. She has a past.” Nate narrows his eyes at me. “A dark one. Your Lulu isn’t the only one who has trauma. Be sure to remember that before you go blindly accusing Ally of shit you have no idea about.”
Guilt slams into me like a brick wall. “I shouldn’t have said what I said.” I don’t regret much in my life, but how I acted with Ally, yeah, that's at the top of that very short list. I’m going to have to make it up to her somehow.
“No. You really fucking shouldn’t have. Do you know who Julia Turner is?”
“Name sounds familiar."
“She’s Ally’s old manager, right?” Gavin asks.
“Wait? The Alpha who abused her Alpha bark on past clients?” I growl, not liking where this is going. From what I could find on the internet and public records, it mentioned Ally being a part of the lawsuit, but didn’t give any details on what happened with her and her old manager.
“Exactly her.” Nate looks furious. “Normally, I’d wait until Ally would tell you this herself, but seeing how you keep putting your foot in your mouth, I’m going to try and help prevent that without giving you every detail. That’s something she can do.” He glares at me. “You say Ally left Lulu and never looked back. You are so fucking wrong. When Ally found out what was happening with Lulu, the first thing she wanted to do was get on the next flight and go back home to be there for her. Only, when Julia found out, she wasn’t going to let Ally fuck everything up for her. Ally was Julia’s cash cow, and nothing was going to stop her from getting what she wanted. So, she abused her Alpha power over an Omega, commanding her not to leave. Not only that, but she also commanded her not to get involved with anything regarding Lulu. Ally physically wasn’t able to go back home, to call her, to do anything. Up until Julia was caught, she made sure to keep Ally under her thumb every chance she got. It didn’t stop Ally from thinking about Lulu. Julia used her power to make Ally do things she didn’t want to do because it made her more money.”
My stomach sinks, and a sick feeling washes over me. I fucked up. Fucking hell, I fucked up big time.
Knowing someone was so cruel to not just an Omega, but my scent match, makes me want to find this bitch and give her back some of the pain she caused Ally. This is going to kill Lulu when she finds out.
“But know this: Ally hasn’t made it a secret that she cares so damn much for your Omega. She’s been in love with her sincethey were kids. She never stopped wanting what was best for Lulu.”
“Please don’t take this as me thinking Ally was in the wrong. I honestly want to know. Why didn’t Ally reach out to Lulu after Julia was out of the picture?” I ask.
