Crystal is going to test if she can keep them apart at dinner tonight and asked me not to tell her what any of the others made me feel like, she wants to see if she can figure this out on her own. Nikolay makes me feel as if I can tell him all of my secrets and just like his Brothers he makes me feel safe. I really hope the connections Topaz is feeling have nothing to do with the Mate–bond, because that would make this situation very awkward for all of us.
“Have you been able to get a lot of files scanned, Angel Nikolay asks as he walks to the front of my desk and I decide to play with him for a moment. “Yes, I actually did. I thought I would need to scan a few more years‘ worth of paperwork before I would have a clear oversight, but luckily two years was enough. Now all I need is the paperwork from Autumn Pack to combine the reports and hopefully I will be able to present everything on Monday morning.” I answer him.
I grab a graham from the cookie jar before I lean back in my seat and I see a very satisfied look in his eyes, “He probably thinks he was able to fool us, I wonder if he thought you were able to tell he wasn’t Nero and if his Brothers told him how fast you called them out on their bullshit.” Topaz says in my mind and we both laugh as he keeps looking at me. After I have finished eating my cookie I look Nikolay in the eye, “Will you thank whoever baked these? They are delicious, Nikolay.” I say
He has the same dumbfounded look on his face as his Brothers, but unlike his Brothers he doesn’t leave
my office. Nikolay just stares at me as he tries to process the fact that I could tell him apart from his Brothers, I see a twinkle in his eyes before he gets up to walk out of my office. “I wish I could be a fly on the wall to hear their conversation.” Topaz says and I decided that this is worth starting over for, I shut down my laptop before I make my way up to the Beta floor with the cookie jar in my hand.
I take the stairs the Omegas use to get to every floor of the Pack–house and I quickly make my way over to the balcony of the living room, the perfect place to eavesdrop on my Stepbrothers. I don’t hear a sound coming from the Gamma floor and I wonder if they decided to talk about this in a more private setting, like Nero’s office on the Gamma floor.
After waiting to hear a word for almost half an hour I give up and I go back down to my own office, I still have some work to do. I have more than just a few budgets to go through, I need to make sure this merge of two Packs will go as easy as possible and I need to do this fast. Marc and Crystal will take over the Packs
within the year.
Nikolay’s p.o.v.
I thought I had seen beautiful women in my life, but nothing could have prepared me for Alayah. Nero’s description of her didn’t do her any justice, her emerald, green eyes are so much brighter than he told us and her black hair looks like satin. I wanted to walk over to her and run my hand through it, but I have to admit that Noah is right. If she had been living with us she would have kicked our asses, her Beta aura is strong and I doubt she was really trying.
Walking back up the stairs I link my Brothers that I am on my way back and Nero tells me to get to his office on the Gamma floor. I wonder why he wants to talk about our visits with Alayah in his office, we are the only ones staying on the Gamma floor and I doubt anyone will walk in on us. Nero closes the door behind me the moment I step into the office and he gestures to the sitting area, Noah and Nathan are already waiting for me.
“Noah, why don’t you tell us how your visit went?” Nero asks him and as I listen to him something becomes very clear to me, “Her office looks amazing by the way, it is something I might have picked out for myself.” Noah states and thinking back to the interior of her office I have to agree with him, it is

something that Noah would have picked for himself.

“I wouldn’t get any work done if I had to work in that office, if it isn’t the view that would distract it would be the painting she has on the wall.” Nathan mumbles and I know that both of us would have trouble concentrating on work in that office. Nathan confirms what Noah already made clear and when Nero asks me how my visit went I say, “She toyed with me, because for a moment I thought she couldn’t tell us apart. She definitely knew I wasn’t you, Nero.”
“How was she able to tell us apart? Because according to Yuma even with the connection between us she shouldn’t be able to, the Mate–bons should be in place before she would be able to do that. So that brings me back to my question, how was she able to do it?” Nathan asks and I think I understand why he ignored us after he came back from seeing Alayah.
For a while the four of us sit in silence, letting the other’s visit with Alayah run through our minds and suddenly I remember I wanted to ask Nero something. “Why did you decide to have this conversation in your office?” I ask him and it is Nathan that answers my question, “Because I asked him if there was a more private place to talk about something Yuma and I discussed after meeting Alayah.
Yuma and I haven’t been able to find an answer yet, but what if her family forces her to choose between them and us. I know Yuma and I will never give her up if the Mate–bond forms between us and something tells me that Eiji, Miku and Khal won’t give her up either, but we need to take into consideration that not everyone will be accepting of our Mate–bond. Especially when they find out that our Father and her Mother are Mates.” Nathan says.
I know Dad would never stop us from being with our Mate, but Mara might be a different story. “We could ask Grandma about it, if something like this has ever happened in our history Grandma will know and we can go from there.” Nero says and after talking about it for a little while longer, we decided to wait what Grandma has to say.
