Now seemed like a particularly good time for that.
Aric watched me with an expectant curiosity as if my behavior was completely normal and not weird at all. He didn't say anything more as he casually watched me make my bed to my liking.
When I was finally satisfied, I stilled, flicking my gaze up to his as a sickening realization came over me. My mouth felt dry and I drew in a very shaky breath.
I was nesting, something that omegas instinctually did in preparation for estrous. I wasn't ready to accept what that might mean. I didn't even want to think about it. Alphas didn't nest. That couldn't be happening to me. It wasn't possible.
He still looked at me like he understood. I hated that he was looking at me like that like he knew me. As if he knew me better than I knew myself.
