Page 57 of Knot My Band: Part One
“Nothing,” I lie, forcing a smile. “Just… let’s get out there, yeah?”
We push our way onto the stage, and I go right to the drums and her to the microphone.
Jack and Aiden push away from their instruments to check on Oli, but Dax comes to me.
“What happened?” he asks.
I stare at him, trying to decide how much to share, but at the end of the day, he is part of this pack, and he’s been nice to her lately.
“She had a heat spike,” I explain.
His eyes widen before he looks over at her. “Is her heat coming?”
“I don’t know.”
Oli hugs Jack and Aiden before sending them back, and Dax goes, too.
“Okay! Time for this sound check! Sorry, we are so late!” Oli announces, and we get right to it.

ALL-GIRL BAND, THE STORM, GAINING MORE SUCCESS AFTER JOINING OLI HART ON TOUR. DOES EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES TURN TO GOLD?
April 26th
We are backstage while The Storm does their opening and I’m not sure how to feel about my heat spike earlier today.
The girls are killing it, and the crowd is going wild.
“Are you feeling okay?” Chase asks, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
His hair brushes against my cheeks as I nod. “It was just a random spike. I hope no one was mad at the delay.”
“No one is mad at you,” Dax grumbles, but his words don’t match the warmth in his gaze as he looks at me.
Aiden’s soft brown eyes meet mine, and their depths have a comforting steadiness. “It’s just life. We’ve got your back, Oli.”
“Is your heat coming soon?” Jack asks.
“Not until the end of the US leg.” My words are airy, trying to keep the mood light despite the weighted glances exchangedamong the pack.
We haven’t talked about what will happen when my heat is here.
“I’ve heard that finding your scent match can bring a heat on early,” Aiden says softly.
My eyes widen, and my stomach clenches. “Really?”
They’re all staring at me except Dax.
I shake my head. “I’ll make a doctor’s appointment in the next city for some suppressants.”
I can’t tell, but I think they might look disappointed.
“You’re on,” a beta woman leans in to tell us.
Chase kisses me on the cheek, Aiden hugs my side, and Jack presses a kiss on my lips before they all run out.
