“This muffin is so good. Did you make it?”

Ravyn’s voice drags me back to the present, and I meet the bright green of her round hazel eyes.

“No. Ted did.”

Just when I thought those eyes couldn't get any bigger.

“He's quite the cook.”

Again, more silence. The omega continues to nibble at her muffin. So far, she hasn’t asked about Killian; she just looked so happy to see the muffin.

“So, where’s your boss?”

I shut my eyes. How do I tell her that her alpha of sorts has left her to attend a meeting with my grandfather?

This exchange will not go down well.

I heave a sigh. “Killian...”

I don’t have to finish. Ravyn knows as soon as his name leaves my mouth. He has abandoned her during her heat. That’s all she hears.

“What?”

I nod. “Yes. He left earlier to head to the office. He will—”

With ashort growl, she throws her sheets off her legs and finds a pair of tight-fitting yoga pants. They bring out the shape of her rear end. I avert my eyes.

Then she finds a figure-hugging tank top, wrapping her hair up into a high ponytail. The hairstyle exposes her heart-shaped face.

“Where are you going?” I ask.

Her hazel eyes shoot to mine. “To find my alpha. What was he thinking leaving me like this? The ass!”

Her shout rebounds off the wall, and I flinch. I am so not prepared to deal with this. She’s hormonal and cranky, and I have no idea what to do.

Tears start leaking from her beautiful eyes, and all I can do is watch. What the hell am I supposed to do? I’m too afraid to approach her.

“W-why am I even surprised? He's been acting off ever since...”

Her voice cuts off and then she sniffs. The sound makes my heart wrench. The poor thing looks so lost.

I try to cheer her up. “I can assure you that he left with a heavy heart. He had a very important client—”

“Important client, my ass! He talks so big about knotting me, but then when push comes to shove, he chickens out!”

Again, I keep my distance. Ravyn is a ticking time bomb, and I finally see the effect that an alpha’s presence (or lack thereof) can have on an omega.

I may as well not even be here. Ravyn won't be satisfied until she is by her alpha’s side again.

I’ve never been more ashamed of my designation. I’d take a whole hour being belittled by my father over this.

Ravyn needs a knot, and I don’t have a knot.

“Come on, let’s go.”

She brushes past me. I follow her down the hall. “Go where?”

She whirls around. “To your boss! You can drive me.”
