“Calm down, it’s one fucking day.” Luc rolls his eyes. “Besides, you’re telling me not one of you is curious to see what this omega looks like?”
No one denies it.
“Luciano, do not get invested in this. In her,” Valentin growls.
“Bro, you know me. I’m shit at commitment.”
I glance at my packmate. He’s fixated on the screen, and the interest makes me uneasy. This isn’t just some omega. She’s Rue’s sister.
Even Syl is watching again. But so am I…
Then Luc replays the footage, and no one stops him.
Revea
It’s been two days since the alpha incident.
That whole evening was spent gathering police reports from staff and clients. I offered to reschedule appointments for those affected. A few accepted, some politely declined.
I get it.
Why would you risk coming back here when there were other, safer salons in the area?
Yesterday, even more clients cancelled. Some didn’t even bother to call. The footage of police cars and a handcuffed alpha being dragged out of my salon doesn’t provide the best optics. Different angles of the same thing have been shared all over, some even tagging the salon’s page.
I tried not to read the comments, but I found myself doing just that yesterday morning after a cancellation.
This is what happens when omegas try to run a business *eye roll emoji*
I hope everyone is okay. That’s so scary!
Name and shame! That alpha should be in prison!
Fucking alphas ruineverything #antipack #alphaassholes
I heard the omega owner knocked him out *nail painting emoji*
LOL fake news!!!
Receipts? I’ll believe that when I see it.
I ended up turning my phone off after that.
Now it’s 7 AM the next day. I’ve just opened up the salon, and I’m feeling anxious.
Mainly because Rue called last night to say someone from the firm is comingtoday.
Serena refused to take time off after the alpha attack, and now she’ll be arriving at work to findanotheralpha. How will she react?
Trauma isn’t a competition, but Serena has had a tough life when it comes to alphas. And it isn’t just her. Other staff members have suffered too. They were relieved to find a workplace focused on omegas without a single alpha in sight.
Am I about to let them all down?
I told them in the team meeting yesterday afternoon that I was looking for security, that it would be an alpha. They all seemed okay with it. Maybe even a little relieved.
But now it’s happening.
I try to keep my mind busy, settling at my desk, shaking my mouse until the screen comes alive, and there it is.
