Chapter Eleven

It's Rose's birthday, and she wants to go out dancing, to blow off steam and forget about the upcoming final exams and the increasing mess that is her family. It's something Cora hasn't done in a while — she hasn't had the money — but Rose is so keen, she can’t say no.

Perhaps a night out, drinking and dancing, some time to forget about all the confusion in her heart and in her mind is what she needs. Her growing relationship with Noah, this secret, has been an uneasy burden weighing down on her shoulders.

Rose knocks on Cora's bedroom door.

"Which one?" she asks, holding up a red and a black dress.

"Hmmmm. I think if you wanna make an impression, the black."

"I was thinking of wearing it with my colourful necklace — the beaded one."

"Oh yeah — that'll look nice."

"Hair up or down?"

"Definitely down." Rose has beautiful thick shiny hair and Cora can't understand why she'd ever choose to wear it up.

"Fab," Rose pauses, 'what are you wearing — you are coming, aren't you?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's your birthday, of course I'm coming," she says, shutting her laptop lid. "But I'm not sure what to wear — urgh, I don't have anything."

"How about my backless top with your skinny trousers?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, Cora — you'd look awesome in that with your hair scooped up. And you never know there might be some cute guys there tonight. Joe will be there. I'm pretty sure he likes you."

Cora's never been bothered about hooking up with guys — it doesn't tend to go well when you're an Omega. Usually she's fighting off lecherous Alphas who think they just have to click their fingers and she'll go trotting off after them.

On the occasion she meets a nice Beta they either get freaked out when they realise she's an Omega or they think she'll be up for some dubious shit. Besides, there's this thing with Noah. They've not defined it yet, and they've not made any promises to each other. But undeniably something is happening between them.

Not that she can tell Rose any of this. She won't understand.

Rose spins around. "Can I grab the first shower?"

"Sure."

Later, Cora twists in front of the mirror, wondering if she looks okay. It’s strange having her back bare and her gland exposed. It makes her vulnerable. She runs her fingers over the gland, recalling a certain pair of lips skirting over her paper thin skin there.

"Cora! You ready?" Rose calls from the hallway and Cora grabs her purse and jacket and skips out. "Woah, you look amazing, lady. You're gonna have every guy in there hitting on you."

Cora rolls her eyes. She really doesn't want that — there's only one man's attention she wants. "Thank you — you look beautiful too."

The doorman looks them up and down with an appreciative eye and runs his finger over the list, letting them pass when he finds Rose's name. It's already late, and the place is crowded; the air thick with perfume and alcohol. They push their way through the hot bodies, Cora's hand in Rose's, until they reach the table.
