“I will decide tomorrow.Tonight, I just want to sleep.”
Etienne nodded.“Of course.Hop on up.You sleep in the middle.”
She sighed and climbed onto the bed.Tosh went to her left and Etienne to her right.It took them a lot of squirming around, which had the guys groaning and then offended at her laughing.But then, they each wrapped an arm around her, and they slept.
Epilogue
Across town at Dex’sapartment, her roommate heard the scrape of a key in the lock.The figure who came in was carrying something, and when the roommate saw the flick and flare of a lighter, she took a deep breath and grabbed all of the people and objects in the building.The moment the accelerant was torched and the figure escaped, she used energy to pull the alarms, transferred everyone outside, with their possessions, and then she huddled with the others while waiting for the fire truck from down the street.
Dex’s mom hadn’t even cleared the parking lot.And her car was blocked in by couches and kitchen tables.
The building was on fire behind them, and after the fire department ushered them to a safe zone, they got to work.
The police asked if they knew how the fire started.She raised her hand and said, “Dex’s mom came into our apartment, poured accelerant, and lit the place on fire.She’s over there.I don’t know how the furniture got out here, but it’s blocking her car.”
The police officer started shouting, and they pointed to the car.Four officers corralled the weeping omega, who was screaming and hitting her steering wheel.The accelerant container was in her trunk, and two lighters were in her coat.She also had traces on her hands.
The officer touched her shoulder.“Miss?Who are you?”
She turned and smiled weakly.“I am Arwell Break.Dex’s roommate.”She shivered and looked around for her pile of clothes.
“Do you know how all the possessions got out here on the lawn?”
“No.Glad it happened.No one needs to lose everything.”She shivered.
“Who is Dex?”
“She was attacked by her father and attacked again in hospital.Tonight is her first night with her pack.Her dad didn’t think girl omegas deserved packs.”
As she spoke to him, Dex’s clothing and treasured items were being sent to the living room of her new pack house.Arwell smiled.She was safe now, and she deserved it.She also deserved sneakers and sweats, and that is what was being brought to the hallway outside her bedroom.
She chuckled, reset herself, and continued speaking to the officers while the fire was extinguished, and thankfully, the damage was restricted to the hallway and their second-floor apartment.
She shivered, and one of the firefighters wrapped her in a foil blanket.She smiled at him, and he blinked, dazzled.Arwell ratcheted the glamour back.“Tell Reebee I said hi.”
He paused.“You know her?”
