Chapter 12

Carmen jumped when she caught sight of me. So she was capable of fear, despite that show she’d put on in Ryker’s office. It hadn’t been my intention to scare her, but part of me didn’t mind that I’d done it. I was rattled. Why shouldn’t she be?

“Still think you’re going to change my mind?” she asked when I fell in with her.

I didn’t really. I had no idea why I’d been lurking around outside the Immigration Office waiting for her except that I didn’t have anything else to do. And maybe if I could talk her into coming back to Rio Verde with me, I could make a case with Tarek that what I did for a living wasn’t wrong, that I was providing a service for misguided omegas and the families who cared for them. Then I could go back home and remember this episode fondly—closed and done with, but perfect and precious.

Perfect and precious. They were the words Tarek had used to describe me last night, but I knew better than to believe them.

“Just happened to see you go by,” I lied. “Where are you heading?”

She was wearing a knit hat with a perky pompom and a scarf that must’ve been fifteen feet long, wrapped artistically around her otherwise naked body.

“Work.” She made a face at me. “I help Dr. Petra in her lab.”

“You don’t like it?”

“I don’t mind it, I guess. I’d just rather be lazy.” She gave a delighted laugh, confident in her faults. “Macy says I have to have a job.”

“If you had an alpha, you wouldn’t. Come back to Rio Verde with me and you can be spoiled like omegas deserve.”

“Good point.” For a wild moment I thought I’d actually done it, but then— “Thanks for reminding me why Macy is right. She knows how to spoil me without imprisoning me, and if that means I have to have a job, it’s a trade I’m willing to make.”

Ugh. It was just impossible. Nevertheless, I kept my footsteps in pace with hers. She had a brightness to her that was refreshing on an otherwise grey day. Snow threatened overhead, but the bobble of her rainbow pompom said bring it on.

“You really don’t think you’ll regret it later?” I asked her. “Not having an alpha, I mean. You’re young now, but when you look back on your life—”

“How am I going to regret being who I am? I’m fabulous. You’re fabulous too, you know.”

“Mmph.”

“No, really. There’s nothing wrong with being who you are—whatever that is. My brother Gage, Omega Gage—”

I was about to interrupt with some questions about that, but she interrupted my interruption.

“Listen,” she said sternly. “I’m trying to tell you something. Some wolves don’t understand that he’s an omega. I used to be one of them. But he is an omega, and if you’re an omega—”

“I’m not an omega,” I growled. This was what came from the things I’d been doing the last few days—I was being mistaken for an omega.

“Okay, okay.” She glided to a stop, and though I was angry and confused, I stopped with her.
