Page 22 of Elusive Alpha

“Alpha, I can’t. The babies are too little.” I could see the hope in his eyes, despite his words. Omegas were never made to feel like they could have everything, but why not?

“The babies will be a year older by the time your doors open, but I hope you trust me enough to take care of them while you build your company. While you were pregnant, you kept coming up with ideas to help other omegas in the same position. You made so many drawings, and I think they are genius.” It hadn’t been his first idea, but it was his best. “And I want to put my full and enthusiastic support behind that.”

He put Frankie in her bed just in time for her sister to wake. “Maggie, girl.”

“Let me get her.” I reached into the other crib and lifted our not-so-sweet-smelling girlie into my arms. “Why don’t you get your tablet and start a list of what you’ll need to get started. I saw a piece of land the other day I thought you might like. It’s just outside of town…”

I was going to have to be cautious not to get too involved in my omega’s business. It was his dream, and I was just support. Chief cook and bottle washer at home.

“Alpha, are you worried about overstepping?” He put an arm around my waist and leaned in, resting his head on my chest next to Maggie. “Oh, darling girl, you need a diaper change.”

“She does, and I am.” I shifted her over a little and tugged him closer. “It’s my pleasure to help you achieve your dreams. You’ve already done that for me.”

“Can I ask you for help, for advice?” He leaned back to look up at me. “Because you’ve already learned a lot and I don’t want to…”

“Make the same mistakes. I will admit to a lot of them.”

“Make a lot of my own, I was going to say.” He kissed my cheek. “We’re a team.”

“And my position on the team is to keep house, hang out with the twins, and give advice, deal?”

“A not-so-silent partner?”

“Omega, you are going to be a huge success. In fact, you already are.” In every aspect of life that mattered. “You’re the heart of our family.”
