This was weird. I felt like one of those sitcom characters who was an exaggeration of an awkward virgin. I didn’t know how to date, didn’t even have a personal style when it came to clothes. I didn’t really know what I liked, and the idea of being on a date without Bonnie or Radic, or even Dominic in the background, was making me feel anxious.

I couldn’t fault the Alphas who were taking me out though. They’d been perfectly polite and attentive, without being overbearing. They’d brought me to a restaurant, somewhere with alfresco dining so I didn’t feel trapped. They held the conversation when I’d been too socially inept to make small talk. They’d been so kind.

“Would you like dessert? Or we could go for a walk? There’s a nice little dock that goes out onto the lake if you would like to see it?”

I felt like shit. Like I was a broken Omega, destined to disappoint everyone. But I could fake it. “That would be great, thanks.”

Merrick went and paid, while Murphy ushered me outside. We walked down the street; it was quiet this time of the night, and the stars were especially beautiful. I didn’t think I’d ever get tired of gazing at the night sky. Fluorescent lights still triggered me a little. I’d never said anything, but all the fluorescent overhead lights in the kitchen of the Sanctum dorm house we’d made a home had been quietly removed and replaced by industrial hanging lights. No one had mentioned it or made a big deal about it, but I appreciated it anyway.

“You can be happy with them, you know?”

I looked over at Murphy, though he wasn’t looking at me. “Excuse me?”

He turned then, smiling sadly. “I know they were the first Pack that you encountered outside of… wherever you were, but that doesn’t negate your feelings. Do you want to choose them because you feel thankful, or because they make your heart hammer in your chest?”

I didn’t say anything, because I wasn’t sure what to say. It felt rude to talk about the Alpha you were living with to the Alpha you were on a date with right now. So I shrugged and we continued walking, Merrick jogging to catch up.

“So, why don’t you guys already have an Omega?” That felt rude to ask as well, but it was a legitimate question.

Maxton wasn’t very big, so the walk to the edge of the water wasn’t far. Merrick sighed. “There aren’t many Omegas around, and they always get the choice—which we entirely agree with,” he hurried to add. “And I guess, two Alpha bachelors with no Betas, who work as Legion grunts and live in barracks isn’t something that would appeal to a lot of Omegas.”

“Not to say Omegas are snobbish or anything,” Murphy interjected. “I’m sure that if we’d really connected with an Omega, it wouldn’t have mattered. But we haven’t had that kind of connection and we don’t have a lot to offer without it.”

I frowned, because that seemed wrong.
