Watching me the same way I watch lava cakes, Finn offers me a shard of green pottery. “Killed it for you.” “What…” I suck in a breath because holy shit. The toe-breaking toad is dead. The perfect gift.
So even if I’m not a leader, even if I ruin every fucking thing, I have to step up. “You’re a kickass team leader, and there’s no one I trust more to have my back on a mission. But when it comes to the pack, you have the emotional intelligence of a fucking gummy bear.”
“Soothe your omega,” Celeste croons, ignoring my slow internal meltdown. “Stroke its back and say something sweet.” My “omega” is a demented life-sized sock doll spritzed with synthetic pheromones.
So not only do I have this creepy fucking scarecrow hugged to my chest in a room full of alphas wearing my same how-did-we-get-here stare, but my dick’s also raging hard and ready to breed a dummy full of mutant polyester spawn.
