She'd nearly dragged me all the way to the diner when my heart stopped at the sound of a familiar voice stopping us in our tracks.

"Tut, tut, tut. What are two pretty little Omegas like you doing alone out here?"

My heart stopped. And kind of started again, but at double time, at what I saw.

It couldn't be.

It was impossible.

"T!" Honey cried out and jumped forward, grabbing the impossiblestrangerinto a hug. "Oh, my goddess! I am so happy to finally meet you."

T or the Tigress looked out of place and uncomfortable with the affection Honey bestowed on her.

I couldn't even laugh at it, because my world had just been turned upside down. There was a buzzing in my ears and I couldn't keep up with their conversation over it. Not until Honey looked at me questioningly.

Like she was waiting for me to say something.

"Marigold?" I pushed the name out past the knot in my throat, working hard to keep the tears from falling. I would not show this weakness right now. "What the fuck? I watched you die!"

T or Marigold, or whoever the fuck she was, just looked at me with no expression. None.

Because obviously she didn't care that she'd completely rocked my world two years ago.

And apparently the universe wasn't done messing with me.

Because that's when someone cleared their throat.

And when I looked to see who was interrupting us, I nearly passed the fuck out.

William? And his beta hotty doctor?

They were two of the pack members I ran away from two years ago.

Because of course they were.

Christa

I'm not ashamed of how I reacted.

I could have fainted.

Screamed.

Thrown my damn handbag at them.

All of those would have been acceptable, yet a smidge more than mildly embarrassing.

So I opted for the option any sane Omega would take.

I ran like I was being chased by a monster from my nightmares.

Boots pounding pavement.

Breath hitching.

Heart roaring in my ears louder than the sound of Honey calling my name behind me.
