"Since you have to be coming down with something, I\'ll order delivery for some food that will be easy on your stomach. We also have to get something in you to lessen the killer hangover you\'ll have tomorrow."

I looked a Hunter as he suddenly stood and went to grab the remote for the TV. He turned it on to a random show before sitting at the far end of the couch. He patted his ŀȧp with his hands while looking to me with a sad smile.

I moved closer to him before laying down with my head in his ŀȧp. After an hour or so, the food arrived and we ate while watching one of our shows we loved in high school. We began reminiscing about the few good times we had back then. For just a little while, my mind was taken off the horrors that were happening. After eating, I began yawning and laid back down in Hunter\'s ŀȧp.

He smiled down towards me, "I\'m not going anywhere. Try to get some sleep."

He and I both knew that I would be unable to control myself if he left my side. I turned over so that my face was on his shirt. I wrapped my arms around his waist and felt safe for the first time in a while.

"I don\'t know what I would do without you," I whispered and he responded by messing up my hair and laughing slightly.

After a little while, I fell asleep hugging Hunter tightly.

I did not wake up until I heard the coffee maker beep.I sat up and noticed that Hunter was still sleeping with his head propped up by his arm with his elbow on the armrest of the couch.

I was surprised that we both fell asleep on the couch in that position. I looked to the kitchen to see Asher smile towards me and gesture for me to come into the kitchen.I slowly walked over as my head felt like it would explode off my body.

As I got close to Asher, he handed me a cup of coffee before leaning in and kissing my forehead. "How about is it?" he whispered so Hunter could sleep a bit longer. I looked to him before turning around and leaning against the counter. He did the same thing right next to me so that we could whisper our conversation.

"My head is going to explode at any second," I mumbled as he snickered slightly.

"I do have to admit, I\'ve never seen you like that before. It freaked me out a little bit. But I feel like I know you a little bit better now. Hunter has mentioned you have a very soft and vulnerable side to you but I\'ve never seen it before yesterday. Since we met, I\'ve only ever seen you angry, ċȯċky, and in heat. I was surprised when Hunter texted me saying that you want me to come over."

"I need to test something and you\'re the only one I can rely on."

"What do you mean?" he asked as he raised his eyebrow and took another sip of his coffee.

"I want to figure out if that horrible Alpha is my destined partner."

"But that\'s not a real thing," he replied, "I\'ve only ever heard about it in books."

"I don\'t know how else to explain what happened yesterday," I whispered as I looked at him with fear. "I want it to be anything but that, but I have to know.

"I thought that destined partners, after they met, could not handle anyone else\'s bodily fluids touching them. That would include saliva and you were kissing that Omega very passionately."

I nodded, "that\'s what doesn\'t make sense to me either. Maybe it\'s because I have feelings for that Omega. I\'ve loved him for a long time.

"Well let\'s test it," Asher replied and I was startled when he suddenly grabbed the coffee from my hand, put down his coffee, and grabbed my waist. Before I could react, he put his other hand on the back of my head and kissed me deeply.

I was surprised but enjoyed it slightly until I was overcome with nausea. I pushed him away and ran to the sink before throwing up. I began trembling as my suspicions were confirmed.

"Oh my God," he gasped as we both looked up to see Hunter standing at the opening of the kitchen. Tears were going down his face as they began going down mine also. "He is your destined partner," he choked as I felt Asher slam his fist against the counter.

"Damn it! What are we going to do?" I couldn\'t look to Asher, rather I collapse onto the ground as I felt light headed and nauseous still.

Hunter came and kneeled beside me, "what do you want to do, Will? It\'s your choice."

I shook my head, "I will not become his play thing! I can\'t stand him!" I took a few deep breaths before looking to Hunter, "I will have to change everything. my place, my job, my appearance, and my demeanor."

"Then you will move in with us. It\'s far enough to avoid the usual people while not leaving the city."

I nodded before looking to Asher, "Can you get me a job at the bar across town?"

He smirked, "Of course. That will also make it so I can make sure no one finds you. You can work the night shift so that you can blend in with the large crowds."

"All that\'s left is to change my looks."

"Ty could do that. We know she won\'t go against us."

I stood and grabbed my throbbing head. "We should get this done as soon as possible. Who knows what kind of connections that Alpha has." I began pulling things out of the kitchen cabinets but stopped as Asher grabbed my arm.

"We can do this. Go sleep off the hangover."
