Ax looked at her sister and swatted her, making Hatcher laugh with a bright cascade of sound.
Ax looked around, and every alpha in the area was staring toward Hatcher.“So, Tekumi is one of mine.”
“Yeah.He’s figured it out.He was just there to meet with Avor and Regis.”
“How do you know he figured it out?”
There was the flapping of wings, and Themak lowered Tekumi to the grass before landing behind him.Themak nodded.“Ladies.Nice to see you again so soon.”
Hatcher laughed.“I see you are now grabbing with consent.”
Themak inclined his head.“I sincerely apologize once again.”
Ford looked like he was going to pass out, and Olivia was scribbling madly in a notebook.
Ax smiled and hissed as the two dark blue alphas got closer.“Which is my one?”
“Well, you get two alphas and an omega, so most of your set is here.”
“Omega?I am not into ladies.”
“I know.They will know.He’s a he.”
“Oh, this is going to be complicated.”
“Yup.That’s Drift.He’s the one with the two piercings on his ear.”Hatcher walked toward the men who were so dark blue they were nearly black.“Good evening, gentlemen.Pardon me for being forward, but this is my sister, Ax, short for Acina.She’s a delta, has excellent dental hygiene, is an earth-born djinn, and sings and dances for advertising for the videos at Antonio’s company.Most folks think she’s AI-generated, and she doesn’t mind.I am a seer, so I am betting that she will nearly be a match for Drift and Tekumi and an omega named Hector.”
Drift blinked, and Ax froze mid-reach to strangle Hatcher.
Tekumi chuckled.“Ax, perhaps we can step away, and if Drift recovers from the download she just gave him, he can join us.Now, do you know this Hector?”
Ax paused and mumbled, “He’s at my gym.He spots for me when I work out.”
Her mind replayed his golden skin, the delicate tilt to his eyes, and the dark brown gaze that he used to watch her.When she needed anything, he was right there offering to help.
He was older for an unattached omega.He should have had a pack already, but there was no sign of one.He was sweet, and they occasionally had coffee after their workouts.She had his number in her phone.She hadn’t actually considered that she would be a candidate for a pack member for him.
Tekumi stopped a few metres away from the others and smiled.“So, your sister informed you.”
“Yes.I didn’t think...I was sure that...”
Drift walked up.“Hello.Ax, is it?”
“Yeah.I was pretty sure no one would want a delta like me.”
Drift smiled and leaned in.“You smell like fresh trees.”
She blushed.“Yeah.A lumber yard.”
“It smells fresh and clean.Not thick and perfumy.”
Tekumi smiled.“I smell beeswax.”
Drift leaned closer to her.“I...yeah, wood and beeswax.”
Tekumi smiled.“So, Ax, what do you think?”
“About what?”
