I have a confession to make…
The girls respond instantly, as if they were all waiting to hear from me.
SABS

ME

DELILAH

SABS
OMFG! You tamed the beast!!! You owe me $10, @Kady!
KADY
Damn, I had a bet on Ren being your first. He’s such a sweetie.
Damon reads over my shoulder. “Looks like you get Kady’s seal of approval, Ren.”
DELILAH
Congrats Faye! I’m SOOO happy for you!
ME
Do you all want to come to the Silverwoods for food tonight to celebrate?
The Stella’s will understand that I can’t be parted from Damon until our bond settles.
SABS
Hell yeah!!! PARTY TIME!!!
DELILAH
I’ll bring dessert. Can’t wait!
KADY
Count me in. I’ll have my latest VV article finished by then.

See you at 7!
“The girls are down for tonight,” I tell the guys.
“Great.” Cole claps his hands together before his eyes dart around the room like they’re advancing through his mental checklist. “I’ll explore housing options today. Obviously, staying here isn’t a long-term option. We could live in the cabin, but it’s a little far from campus for a daily commute. There are a few options, though, including properties in Forestville. I’m meeting with a realtor to set up viewings.”
Although I appreciate Cole’s organization, everything is moving so fast that his words go in one ear and out the other. Only twenty-four hours ago, I was an unclaimed omega living in Stella House. Now I’m considering a potential semi-permanent home with the pack of my dreams.
“Is this too much, Faye?” Ren reaches across the table to clasp my hand, probably sensing that I’m struggling to process this. If he can read me this well when we’re not bonded, he’ll turn into a mind reader after. “You don’t have to live with us yet,if you don’t want to. While it’s unusual, some omegas live apart from their packs.”
