BoneDaddy: RIP Archie. Gone too soon.
XrixQueen: I’ll avenge you.
I snort, my gaze flicking up to the alpha, who thankfully still seems entirely disinterested in me.
Archnemesis: It’s nice to know I’ll be missed.
Bow2MePeasants: Don’t get too excited. They’re only saying that because they don’t want to lose our best healer.
BoneDaddy: Ignore him. He’s jealous because he can’t get laid. Have fun on your date.
My gut twists at the implication that I’m having sex tonight. Not that I should be surprised.
I may have exaggerated my experience a bit. Or a lot. I just wanted to feel cool for once in my damn life, and it’s not like any of them are ever going to find out that I’m definitely not out hopping on knots across the city every night I can’t game with them.
A DM notification pops up from XrixQueen.
XrixQueen: Are you seriously in danger?
XrixQueen: If you think you are at all, I’ll give you my number and you can share your location with me.
A burst of butterflies fills my stomach at the idea of having Queen’s number. Even though I know she’s only saying this because she’s nice and understands what it’s like to be an omega.
Archnemesis: You’re so sweet to offer, but I’m okay. Just on edge because I’m running late for a blind date.
XrixQueen: Wow, me too!
Of course she’s going on a date tonight.
The name Queen suits her. She’s the coolest omega I’ve ever met. Not that we’ve actually met. I don’t know what she looks like, or even what her real name is, but I can tell she’s the kind of omega that makes people want to worship her.
Archnemesis: Oh, nice! I hope it goes well.
XrixQueen: I doubt it will, but you never know.
Archnemesis: Mine will probably be a disaster.
XrixQueen: haha then I guess I’ll be seeing you online later.
Archnemesis: It’s a date.
As soon as I send the message, I curse.
Yes, I have a crazy big crush on her. She’s the whole damn reason I started wondering what it’d be like to be with another omega. The two times I’ve had sex were with betas, and it was fine, but my fantasies have always been geared firmly toward getting knotted or locked by an alpha. But Queen made me…think.
I definitely shouldn’t bethinkinglike that right before I meet a strange alpha.
Still, I grin when I see her reply.
XrixQueen: Can’t wait.

Lisa’s jawdrops as I pass her the hand mirror so she can inspect my work, and I snort. “Told you I’d make you look like a bad bitch.”
