CHAPTER TEN

About midnight Hank crawled out of the window of Evan’s room, leaving him sleeping on the bed, a tangle of hair and blankets and still in his jeans and t-shirt. Hank managed to scale down the side of the building using balconies as footholds, stumbled over some roots from the shrubbery, and twisted his ankle. He limped down to the sea. He knew the moment the camera crews spotted him. They started shooting and closing in all around. He stood motionless staring out at the ocean, tossing darkly in the night. He missed his home. He missed the forest. He missed the mountains.

A hand on his arm got his attention.

“Hank?” It was Warren. The guy with the microphone. The host of the show. “Hank, did something happen with you and Evan earlier tonight?”

Hank’s lips twisted and he snorted. He shook from free from Warren and said, “If you don’t get that thing out of my face and you don’t get these assholes to leave me alone, someone’s going to get hurt.”

Warren’s face blanched even in the darkness. Hank was momentarily grateful for whatever it was that gave Alphas that terrifying edge that pushed others away. Warren nodded and backed off, and though Hank had a hard time believing it, the camera crews disappeared too.

He sank down into the sand, feeling the soft give of it under his ass, and he let himself think, really think, about something he’d never considered. A male Omega. It terrified him.

The glisten of the moon on the waves brought to mind Silvia’s braces, the way they’d shimmered in the sunshine. Amazingly, thoughts of Silvia no longer hurt him the way they had for years. He felt relaxed, deeply contented, and like a hard, hurtful part of him had finally given way inside. Silvia had been his coach’s daughter. Coach Terrell, who’d taught his football team, had always encouraged him, telling him to follow his gut, unaware of how much the simple words, “trust yourself” had meant to him. Especially coming from a family who encouraged him to suppress his shifter abilities out of bias and fear.

And Silvia had also been Justin’s sister. Justin, who’d been Coach’s effeminate disappointment and Hank’s friend, maybe even his best friend. Hank had never been able to tell Justin the truth about himself, had never told him about being an Alpha, or how Justin’s steady hand on his wrist when they were trekking through the woods had kept Hank focused, and even led him out of early trances.

Hank sighed and shook his head. It was obvious now that he was allowing himself to think about these things: Justin had been his first Omega, even if they’d been too young to truly bond. Even if they didn’t even know what that meant back then.

It would have been a hard time for any kid, but when his powerful Alpha senses first began to burble to the surface at the same time as adolescence began to change his body, his father had been first unavailable, then disbelieving, and finally cruel.
