“Oh. Yeah. Sure.”
I finish lacing my shoes and stand back up to give my shirt and pants another smoothing over. They still look pretty creased, but that’s what I get for leaving them on the floor all night.
“Do we ask Harp and Jay to bring our stuff and check out of the hotel?”
He frowns deeper for a second before he answers. “We can call them after we’ve spoken to Lana. Once we know if she’s really as nice as Robin seems to think she is.”
I check my phone and sigh.
“We’ll probably need to use an academy phone line.”
“That’s not exactly ideal,” he admits.
I shrug. “Not much we can do about it.”
His phone is on the coffee table, battery out of charge.
Mine somehow died overnight, despite turning it off.
I take it out and give it another try, but it won’t switch on.
“Definitely dead,” I say as I put it back into my pocket.
“Maybe they’ll let us borrow a charger,” Falcon jokes.
I laugh as the bedroom door opens and Robin steps out, in a black shirt and pants, with her long red hair loose and flowing. She looks like a daydream made flesh. The pale skin on her cheeks turns pink as she glances over at us.
“Um, I’m not late for work, but I should go upstairs and tell Katie not to come get me before our shift, if we’re going to speak to Lana first.”
“Cool,” I tell her. “So, Katie’s your friend?”
“Uh, yeah. I mean, I haven’t known her long, but she’s really nice.”
“Can’t wait to meet her.”
Falcon nods. “Yeah, you two head up there and tell Katie what we’re doing. I’ll meet you at Lana’s office.”
My mouth drops open, but I can’t find a way to voice my shock, so I close it again and just nod in response. I look at Robin, and she comes to my side, putting her arm through mine.
“Ready?” I ask.
She smiles. “Sure.”
Chapter Ninety-Five
Falcon
Ileave Robin and Shayne to lock up and visit our new mate’s friend, moving quickly to the elevator and taking it down to the reception area. The more time I can get alone to explain myself to Robin’s former guardian and current employer, the better.
If I had a choice, I would never want to see Lana’s face again, but I know that’s not a likely scenario, especially since her Omega seems to think my pack was led out here to meet Robin for more than one reason.
I’m surprised Shayne hasn’t worked that part out yet.
His brother wasn’t making a random suggestion.
Omegas are highly intuitive, to the point where they can be mistaken for psychics.
Shadow saw something that made him realize our fate is more closely intwined with the academy than we first realized.
