Downloading Two Souls (Brought to Bear 2)
Otto
“Ohmygod! He’s right there!”
I stifled a grin when the squeal was followed by a flood of drunken whispers shushing Dex, but the birthday boy would have none of it. “I will not shush!” he huffed out in a whispered shout which carried further than he realized. Hell, even the humans over at the pool table across the bar were chuckling at the feisty Omega. “Otto is right there!”
I listened long enough to be sure it was all normal drunken nonsense and headed back behind the bar, grinning as I refilled their drinks.
None of the Omegas were actually mine, but my bear still got satisfaction out of providing protection, from being needed.
I was still floating on a bit of a high when I kissed Dex’s cheek and tucked the last of them into their Uber. Darren was already gone for the night, so I locked the bar behind me and headed around to the employee parking lot. The single light in the small parking lot had been shot out by vandals a few days earlier, so the only light came from the cloud-dimmed moon, but that was more than enough to make out the three state police cruisers parked beside my car.
As I approached, two officers -werewolves, from their scents- stepped forward, one to each side of me.
“Otto Nielsen, you have the right to remain silent.”
For seven years, Dex waited for the Alpha he loved to return so they could resume the path he just knew was leading toward a life together, but when Otto was finally home, it seemed Dex was the only one still seeing a future together. Too bad Dex didn't realize that before things got..complicated.
Can he convince his Alpha to stop protecting him from himself?
