“I dub theeb, /bable bto /bsit on a bed,” Kiraughs bas /bshe pulls the Omega up from the floor.

“Pleasee sit with bus/bb,/b” I beg bas /bbI /bsit cross–legged on the bed.

“I don’t have any,” I say as I look down at my in nailsb. /b

“Haven’t had time for nail polish,b” /bKira sighs as she holds up her hands.

“Well, I brought some. I wasn’t sure what you wanted to do. I figured painting nails might be a good bonding idea,” Kim says with a small smile as she pulls several colors our of her purse. “I bwasn’t /bsure if it would have been a good ideab, /bbut my boyfriend encouraged me to bring them bas /bit would be a good idea.b” /b

“You are a doll!” Vickie cheers bas /bshe scrambles off the bed. “I’ll be back!” She dashes from the room and leaves the door open.

I smile bas /bhe leaves. I have the feeling that he wanted toe in and give me a kiss before he left.

“You are so cute,” Kimughs bas /bshe watches me.

Chapter 167 Amalie

I pick out a green color. It’s almost the exact shade of the twins‘ eye color. Kim giggles as she set the other colors aside. She gives me a knowing look.

“What’s with the look?” Kira asks as she looks between the pair bof /bus.

“It matches the Alphasb‘ /beyes,b” /bKim bsays/b.

I fight my blush even more now. “It’s my favorite color,” bI /btry to defend.

“Sure,” Kiraughs bas /bshe starts to look through the options.

Kim says nothing as she shakes the polish. Once done, she opens the polish and takes one of my hands. “I haven’t done anything like this since high school,” she admits as she starts to polish my nails.

“Never had any friends to do this with. Then with the unwanted attention from my old Alpha, I did not get close to anyone,” Kira admits.

b“/bbYou /bhad no friends in your old pack?” I ask. I find the statement to be not true.

She sighs before she answers me, “I had a few that I thought would have been my best friends. But once that bastard started showing interest in me, they betrayed me. They snitched my movements to him. They did his bidding, and I know it was not Alphamanded of them. One girl even went out of her way to get me alone with him.”

I pull my hand away from Kim. I pull Kira towards me and engulf her in a hug. “I’m so sorry that you had to suffer through that,” I tell

her.

Kim’s barms /bfind their way around bus /bbas /bshe joins the hug.

“What did I bmiss/bb?/b” Vickie asks bas /bshees back into the room.

“Questionster, hug now,” I tell her.

I hear the sound of her putting the bowl down before she joins us on the bed. Vickie wraps her arms around us.

We all sit there, holding each other. No one wants to break the hug first,

“Okay, I’m suffocating here,” Kiraughs.

bAs /bwe break the hugb, /bI watch her wipe away tears. I don’t say anything, it’s not my ce to point out her tears.

Kim grabs my hand again and inspects my nails. She continues to paint my nails.

“Okay, Kira what color am I painting your nails?” Vickie asks as she brings the popcorn bowl to the bed and sits down.

“Well, let’s go ck,” Kira says bas /bshe picks out a color.

“Boo,” she jeers with a smile.

b“/bCan you do designsb?/bb” /bbI /bbask /bthe room.

“Hell, yes! ck with silver designs!” Vickieughs triumphantly. She grabs the colors that she needs and starts to shake them.

I share a look with Kim, and we smile.

“Gossip timeb,/b” Vickie cackles bas /bbshe /bstarts to paint Kira’s nails.

b“/bWell, the twins don’t let me out and about on my own, so I don’t know any,” I admit.

“Oh, that’s not true,” Vickieughs.

b“/bThe twins aren’t ready to share the news yet,” I say with a re.

“But Kim is trustworthy,” she pouts.

b“/bTrustworthy about what?” Kim asks bas /bshe looks around at everyone.

bI /bsigh and look at the ceiling. “You have to swear not to tell anyone,” I say as I look back down at the Omega, who has quickly be a friend.

“bI /bswear,” she tells me. She doesn’t hesitate and her eyes shine with sincerity.

“I’m pregnant,” I whisper to her. fn887a Readplete version only at find?novel/fn887a

“Oh goddessb! /bAre you really?” Kim asks, her voice full of excitement.

“Yes, we just found out the other day,” I tell her.

“That is amazing! Have you started to n the baby shower?” she asks.

“Not byet/b,b” /bbI /btell her.

“What ever you need, let me know!” Kim says excitedly.

“We need to get together with Gretchen and start nning the baby shower,” Vickie says excitedly.

“This weekend we will have to get together with her and start nning,” Kira says with a conspiratorial look.

bI /btake a deep breath. “You will have to clear it with my dads,” I say to the girls.

“You’re calling them dad! That is great news!” Vickieughs.

“The finalization is supposed to be done today. I think that Mike, dad, is nning a dinner party for the celebration,” Iugh.

“I bet he is. Those two love you so much,” Vickie says, her voice bing bsoft /band warm.
