It’s just now I realize... Maya doesn’t know who Ally is to me exactly.
“I have a confession,” I admit, guilt flowing off me in waves.
Her smile drops. “Oh boy. I’m not going to like this, am I?”
“Remember you love me and I’m your best friend, okay?”
“Lulu,” she says in a warning tone
“Okay, so remember the girl I told you about from my past? The one I’ve been hung up on, and am kind of still in love with.”
“Yeah...” She narrows her eyes. “What about her?”
“She's Ally.” I grimace, waiting for her to lose it.
Her eyes widen. “What!?” she shouts.
“I know, I suck. I’m so sorry!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” she demands. “Lulu! What the fuck? That’s huge.”
“I know,” I groan. “I wanted to tell you for so long. But you really were a big fan of Ally, and I didn’t want my past with her to influence your thoughts on her.”
Maya’s face softens. “Still. I wish you would have trusted me.”
“I’m sorry.” I feel like crying.
“And here my dumb ass has been trying to get you to come meet Ally for the past year.” She groans. “I’m the one who’s sorry.”
“Don’t be. You didn’t know. And honestly, I regret not going now. If I knew this is how things would have ended up, I’d have gone the first time you invited me.”
“So wait, you’re scent matched to basically the love of your life's bodyguard?”
“Yup.”
“How upset is she?” Maya asks. “Not going to lie, babe, but anyone with eyes can see there’s something between the two of them,” she says with a pitying look.
“Don’t look at me like that,” I mutter. “It’s not an issue.”
“It’s not?” she asks. “I’m so confused.”
“Sooo, pretty much, Ally has been in love with me this whole time, too, and we’re going to join our packs together, so no one has to choose.”
“Joining packs!?” she shouts. “Holy shit. What about Gavin and Brady? Are they okay with sharing you? They are obsessed with you, babe. They looked like they’d rather stab Liam than share you with him.”
“They kind of have to, seeing as how I’m sharing Brady with Ally.”
She thinks for a moment before gasping. “That's why he was losing his shit! He’s scent matched to Ally?”
“Yup.”
“Wow.”
“I know.”
“This is crazy.”
“Tell me about it.”
