Psychotic

he came for her for a change.

Still, Alec seemed like he was on edge and she wondered if theres something that hes not telling her. Jaxon will be questioned by her later…

”Tell him I was here if he gets back. ” He told her already heading for the door, and she shook her head disapprovingly before she turned her attention to Ari who somehow already made a mess out of her kitchen with all his baking.

It never ceased to amaze her just how fast and passionately he worked on every little sweet he made, and this time he was extra passionate about it because he was making it for Eli. It was kind of cute, but it also worried her.

So trying her best not to disturb anything, she leaned on the other side of the counter he was working on and watched him for a thoughtful moment before she spoke.

”You know you should be careful. ”

That made Ari stop and look around worriedly before he looked at her with a lost expression. ”Huh? About what? I didn leave something on again, did I? ”

”Im not talking about burning my house down, I am talking about Eli. ”

His eyebrows furrowed. ”What about him? ”

Rowan sighed and looked at him with his cheek covered in flour and his hands all white and messy. Even like that, he still looked neat and well put together, but his looks were deceiving because someone like Ari would seem so smart and aware but in reality, hes just clueless and naïve.

”I am not saying you can be friends, us betas are in this awkward middle zone, but we
e also prone to fall for omegas. ” The way Ari pursued his lip and avoided looking at her only encouraged her to continue, this was not something he should take lightly. All she wanted was to save him from an avoidable heartache. ”They prefer alphas, you know. Don do this to yourself. ”

”I am not going to fall for him. ” He insisted but that didn really convince her.

”Maybe not now, but what about later? ”

”I am just baking him a cake for his birthday. ”

”I am sure hell love it. ” She smiled knowing it was best to leave it at that before she jumped into another topic which was related, but not really. A topic that she had been curious about for two years. ”Do you think youll find your mate soon? ”

Maybe it was a sensitive topic from the way he just stopped all his movements, but she was really curious because they were all around the same age, and the moment Jaxon turned eighteen he knew she was his. However, same with Alec, Ari hadn found whos his yet.

It was not worth the trouble to fall for an omega and then find his mate…

”The idea is great and all, but I don want to let that dictate who I want to be with. ” He told her simply with a nonchalant shrug and it was not something she expected him to say judging from her expression.

”You don know what you
e saying. Once you meet them, youll know what I mean. ”

He looked up at her curiously. ”What did it feel like for you? ”

The smile that appeared on her face should have answered everything as she remembered that moment vividly. She already knew Jaxon was her mate, he already told her, but the moment she turned eighteen and felt it was the moment her whole world changed completely.

It was a moment nobody will ever forget once they experience it.

But some wish they would.
