“I do. I make a point of it.”
“But you don’t like alphas?”
He lifted one shoulder. “I certainly don’t dislike them. But maleandfemale alphas can be a little too pushy.”
“Amen.”
“I’ve had a few alphas over the year who seem to think just because their omega is busy with the offspring, I’m supposed to keep them warm at night.”
“Are you straight?”
“Yes.”
“But the male alphas hit on you too?”
“Honestly? Omegas. Alphas. Humans. They all hit on me. Both genders. I’m not sure what it is about me.”
“You seem really open. Friendly.”
“Maybe that’s it.” He glanced over. “So what made you overcome your aversion to alphas?”
“I realized I was being a judgmental prick.”
He laughed. “Fair enough.”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Not yet.” He sighed. “I’m sure one of these days it will happen for me. It’s hard because I work with mostly couples. I don’t go in for breaking up marriages.”
“No. That’s not cool. Wouldn’t help your resume either.”
“Nope.”
“Well, there’s no rush. You’re young.”
“I agree. Plus, I’m not looking for anything.”
I snorted. “You do realize that is exactly when you’ll find someone, right?”
He grinned. “Like I said, I’ll just go where the universe points me.”

The compound was much smaller than I’d imagined. We parked in front of the medical complex and got out. Stretching, I glanced over the roof of the car at Pierce. He looked tense, his mouth a straight line.
“Everything okay?” I asked.
He nodded. “Yes. It’s just weird coming back here.” He grimaced. “Especially when I’m pregnant.”
“You mean because you always made such a big stink about how horrible all alphas were and how dumb the omegas were to let themselves get pregnant?”
He frowned. “You sound smug.”
I laughed. “I’m just stating the facts.”
“You’re enjoying my discomfort too much.”
