Onegus

“Thank you.” Onegus took the garment bag from Connor. “You’re a life saver. I wouldn’t have made it to the village and back on time.”

“My pleasure.” Connor put a paper bag on the desk and pulled out a Tupperware container. “Have you eaten yet?”

Onegus’s mouth watered. “I didn’t have time.”

“That’s what I thought. Dig in.” Connor took a look around Onegus’s spartan office. “You should spruce this place up a little. It’s depressing.”

“It’s just temporary.” Onegus motioned for his roommate to take a seat. “Can I offer you a beer?”

Connor shook his head. “I’m saving the drinking for the wedding. How is your lady getting here?”

“I’m sending one of the Guardians to pick her up.” He opened the container and lifted one of the turkey wraps Connor had prepared for him.

“I can do that if you want. I know that your men are all busy guarding our guests.”

“That would be a great help. Thank you.” Onegus put the wrap down and pulled out his phone. “I’m texting you her address. Just be careful with what you tell her. She doesn’t know anything yet.”

Shaking his head, Connor glanced at the small fridge that served as Onegus’s printer stand. “I think that I’ll have that beer after all.” He got to his feet and pulled a Snake Venom for himself. “Do you want beer or water?”

“Water. I’m on duty.”

“Naturally.” Connor put a water bottle on the desk and sat down with his beer. “How are you going to explain to Cassandra what she’s about to see?”

“I hope she won’t notice. People will have to keep up the pretense because of the human servers, so it’s not like she’s about to witness a lot of weirdness.”

Connor arched a brow. “The servers will clear the banquet hall when Annani enters to preside over the ceremony. Do you think Cassandra will not notice a glowing goddess?”

“I plan to get her tipsy by then.” Onegus twisted the cap off the bottle and took a long swig. “Hopefully, she will not notice the peculiarities, and if she does, I’ll thrall the memory away.”

There was no way Cassandra could miss a glowing goddess, but maybe he could convince her that it was a trick of the light?

“Right.” Connor arched a brow. “And how are you going to get her tipsy while overseeing security?”

“Good point. You’re seated next to her.” Onegus saluted with the bottle. “You’ll need to do that for me. I’ll also ask Jackson, Roni, and Nick to keep offering her drinks.”

“Why don’t you just tell her? You must know by now that Cassandra is your one and that she is a Dormant.”

“I suspect that she is, but I have a plan for when and how to tell her, and it’s not during the wedding.”

His eyes glowing with interest, Connor leaned forward. “What’s your plan?”

“I’m trying to convince Cassandra to come with me to Paris after the festivities.” He shook his head. “I was sure she would be thrilled and that I’d get an enthusiastic yes. But Cassandra is unlike any other woman I know.
