HAYDEN
My cock jerks to life when Whitney moves into downward dog, her perky ass rising into the air and taunting me. I watch her flow through to a chaturanga. She’s stronger than she looks, and Asher is a hell of a lot more flexible than I thought. I’d join them to stretch out my legs, but the view is too damn beautiful to pass up.
“Can I talk to you?” Trev appears at my side.
I let my gaze linger on Whitney, taking in the slight flush of her chest and the way her breaths come in soft pants. I thought yoga was supposed to be relaxing.
“Yeah,” I finally say, pulling my eyes from the temptation in the living room.
Trev leads me outside and we sit on the patio furniture in Melanie’s backyard. I cross my ankle over my leg and lean back, waiting for him to lecture me. He’s staring at the guest house.
“Do you like her?”
“Yes. Is that a problem?”
He glances at me. “You’re already so defensive.”
“It’s kind of hard not to be. You made it clear you don’t like this.”
“You understand why though, right? It’s nothing to do with you being a beta, at least not for me. You’ll end up in more trouble than it’s worth.”
“How do you know the trouble isn’t worth it?”
He presses his lips together and looks at his hands. “What happens when she mates with Avi or Asher? Will you still feel the same without that bond?”
I notice he doesn’t include himself. Does he really think the pack would mate an omega without him involved?
“The pack will decide what’s best when the time comes.”
“The best thing for us is to not let her stay.” Trev clenches his jaw.
“We’re not—”
He holds up his hand. “Let me finish. That’s the smart thing, and you know it. Our lives would be less complicated. We wouldn’t be breaking laws.” He rubs his hand over his jaw. “She can destroy our lives.”
“She won’t.”
“I hope not.” He holds my gaze. “I don’t want to give her up either. I’m scared of what happens when this situation implodes. What will be left of the pack?”
Trev’s always held too much responsibility on his shoulders. He’s the de facto leader and we all let him take charge. It made the most sense and Asher and Avi had no interest in being the head of the pack. Pack Cocker wouldn’t be the same without him.
“What would your dad tell you to do?” I ask, knowing it’ll make him a little upset.
Trev’s dad is a total asshole.
“He’d tell me to leave the bitch on the curb.” Trev lowers his eyebrows as if to ask where are you going with this?
“Right, but he wouldn’t ask you what the pack wanted, would he?”
He shakes his head.
“So why don’t you ask the pack?”
Sighing, he sits back. “I don’t have to.”
“Maybe not, but isn’t it a discussion worth having? If she stays with us through her heat, we all need to be on the same page. Is she going to be Pack Cocker’s omega or not?”
