He looks right at me as he says, “I’m grateful for second chances.”
I don’t know if he means the one I gave him after our dinner or this second chance at an omega, but I smile anyway.
“Daph?”
Weirdly, the answer’s easy. “I’m grateful for time to heal, grow, and evolve. And for the people who offer it in spades and with so much patience.”
Mama smiles at me, nodding gently as Omar looks like he’s about to fall apart.
“That was so sweet,” he sniffles. Levi ruffles his hair, pulling him into his side. “What?! It was!”
Dez lays his hand on my thigh. “I’m grateful for a new muse and the reminder that life’s beautiful every single day.”
Oh, shit. I might cry too.
“I’m grateful for fabric stores. Who knew they carried soulmates?” Nate sends me this absolutely dazzling grin that makes my head spin a little, and it’s like I can physically feel myself falling.
Down, down, down I go for these alphas that I never should’ve met. Two men that’ve somehow become my whole fucking world—and the one I can’t help but orbit.
PUSSY POWER GROUP CHAT
Mellie
That’s it. I’m officially calling a Pussy Power Intervention. The only reason Travi and Co aren’t included is because they’re out of town for their anniversary.
Travi
Booooooo. I wanna see the intervention.
Mellie
Don’t worry, babe. I’m sure we’ll have another soon.
Erin
*Laughing emojis*
Maverick
Why do I feel like this won’t go well?
Kai
Because you’re a smart man.
Daphne
Oh, shit. I really am too pretty for jail, but I can be a great alibi.
Or witness, if that’s what you need.
Mellie
Not this time, but thanks.
The intervention is for you, Daph. You’ve been spending all your time with those fine ass, VERY OFF-LIMITS alphas, and I’m getting needy.
