Chapter 17
Fucked Up
Mace
"We fucked up," Aiden groaned, as the door to Liora's room slammed shut. At least she'd taken the hot chocolate with her.
"I know." I ran a hand through my hair, trying to come up with a plan. "How do we win her back?"
"We don't," Finn said flatly. "We don't deserve her at all."
"She's starting her heat," I told them. "I could smell it on her." I'd always been able to tell exactly when she was starting her heat, when her tasty scent turned sweeter.
"Shit, now what?" Finn stared at us with wide eyes. "You guys, she can't go through a heat alone! What if she ends up with heatshock?"
"There's no way she'll let us near her," I said. "But that Geo guy, she seemed to like him and he's an agent. He's trained to get traumatized omegas through their heat. Maybe we call him if she's struggling."
"She'll never tell us if she is." Aiden shook his head. "Why would she ever confide in us? You told her she was a burden, Mace."
"I know. I know what I said and it was stupid, okay? But now we need to move forward."
"You know nothing about omegas," Finn muttered, stalking off to the kitchen. He started banging around in there, cleaning up the mess he'd made with the chocolate.
Aiden and I returned to the living room, flopping down in our favorite spots.
"Seriously, how do we fix this?" I asked the air.
Aiden grunted, obviously thinking hard about things.
