“So, what are you going to do now?” Maya asks.
“I don’t know. We haven’t really had a chance to talk about it. Ally is doing a meet and greet with the band, and I need to find Gavin and Brady to talk to them to see how they’re holding up. Ally kind of made the choice for everyone, but I’m not upset about it, because it’s exactly what I want, and really, it's the best option so that none of us winds up getting hurt.”
“I agree. Joining packs, if it’s something you're all on board with, is the best choice. But what about your life? And hers? She’s in the middle of a world tour.”
I blink. Huh. That kind of slipped my mind. “I don’t know,” I whisper, an edge of panic hitting me. I don’t want to stay here while Ally is gone for the next few months. I don’t want to be away from her or Liam that long.
And what about her? She needs to be with Brady when she goes into heat. I need to be with Liam when I go into mine.
“Lulu.” Maya cups my cheeks. “Breathe. You're panicking.”
“There’s a lot that needs to be talked about,” I whisper, swallowing hard.
“I’d assume so.” She gives me a soft smile. “How about Benji and I leave you to talk things through with your pack, and you fill me in when you can, okay?”
“Yeah.” I nod. “Yeah. Okay.”
“I’m so happy for you.” She pulls me into a hug. “You deserve all the good things in life, Lulu.”
“I have a lot of them already.” Tears fill my eyes.
“Well, you deserve even more.” She kisses my cheek.
“You're the best friend a girl can ask for,” I tell her.
“The same goes for you. It’s your time to shine.” She grins. “Trust me.” She looks up at Benji, who looks down at her like she’s his sun. “It’s the best thing that's ever going to happen to you.”
“I think I believe you,” I laugh.
“Congrats, Lulu,” Benji says, giving my shoulder a squeeze as they leave. “Couldn’t happen to a better person.”
“Thanks.”
As they leave, Gavin and Brady come into the room, saying goodbye to them as they go.
“Soooo.” I rock back on my heels, hands behind my back. “What's up?”
Gavin chuckles, and Brady sighs. “Getting bored of the MC life, and wanted to switch it up a bit?” Brady’s lips twitch with a smile.
“Hey. Same could be asked about you, big guy.” I smile, walking towards him. “You went and got yourself another Omega.”
He raises a brow. “And you went and got yourself another Alpha...andan Omega.”
“Yeah.” I chew on my lip. “I did. Are you mad?”
“No, baby.” He steps close, pulling me into his arms. “I could never be mad at you. Are you? Mad at me?”
“No.” I shake my head. “Of course not.”
He looks me in the eyes, face serious. “Just because I’ve found Ally, it doesn’t mean my feelings for you have lessened. Not one bit. I love you, Lulu, and I want you to be my Omega forever.”
“I love you too.” I give him a watery smile. “And the same thing goes for you. Even though Liam is in my life now, it doesn't mean that I don’t want you and Gavin as my Alphas too. It’s why I think joining packs is the best idea.”
“So much has happened in such a short time,” he sighs, putting his forehead to mine.
“How are you doing, Little One?” Gavin’s hand rubs up and down my back. “With Ally?”
A sob bursts free, like a dam breaking. “I’m so fucking happy.”
