“You booked an appointment for a car that was fine, so you could come here and smell me to see if I was your scent match?”
“Uh, yeah, pretty much.” Tucker rubs the back of his neck again.
“I thought you were a fucking weido,” Will says. “Glad to know I was right.”
Tucker’s shoulders deflate.
“Hey.” I step up to him and poke him in the chest. “Be nice to my Omega.”
Will lifts a brow. “Your Omega, huh?” Will chuckles, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me to him.
“Yes. I found him and I’m going to keep him.”
“You and your strays, Little Rabbit,” he growls low, dipping down for a kiss.
I moan into his mouth, my body heating. Sadly, the kiss is over far too soon.
“So, Nick’s other scent match, huh?” Will asks, looking over at Tucker. “He knows?”
“Not yet.” Tucker shakes his head.
“He’s going to lose his fucking mind,” Will groans, putting his forehead to mine. “Little Rabbit, what am I gonna do with you? Always causing trouble.”
“I call it keeping-life-from-getting-too-boring.” I wave him off.
“The two of you were holding hands. Is something going on between you, too?”
“Not yet,” I tell him. “But I’d be lying if I didn’t say I like the guy. I mean, look at him.” I wave a hand at Tucker. “He’s just so cute! You see him and think he’s some big asshole cop, but really he’s just a nervous wreck, who is a real sweetheart.”
Tucker’s cheeks blaze red.
“See!” I point. “He even blushes.”
Will chuckles as Tucker groans. “So you like the Omega?”
“I do.”
“And he’s Nick’s scent match?”
“He is.”
“Do you want him to join the pack?”
“I’m hoping it’s where it leads to, yes,” I tell him.
“I’m asking your permission to date your Omega,” Tucker interjects. “I like Nova. She’s funny, sweet, and makes me laugh. I’d like to see where things go. I’m not after her Alpha, but I’d be happy if she’d let me share him. Everything changed for me the moment I found out my scent match is one of you. I knew that I wouldn’t ever be able to put any of you behind bars, and I’d never be able to live with myself if someone else did. The station has let the case die before, I was the one who tried to bring it back to life. Honestly, give it a few weeks and everyone will forget about the Mall Bandits.”
“Fucking hate that name,” Will grumbles. “They couldn’t come up with something better?”
Tucker chuckles. “Yeah, I thought that too.”
Will nods, stepping away from me and over to Tucker. Tucker holds his ground, but I can tell he’s nervous.
“Here’s the deal, Omega. I’ll let you date my Omega. To prove yourself, maybe even let you into my pack. But know this, you betray us? It will be the last thing you ever do. Understand?”
Tucker swallows hard and nods. “I understand.”
“Treat her good. And don’t fucking hog her,” Will warns.
