Chapter 23

The Omega: Mated To The Four

Twenty Three

The morning sun peeked through the windows of the classroom as lid into my usual seat, hoping for a quiet start to the day, of course, that was too much to ask.

"Good morning, carrot head," Alex's annoyingly chipper voice greeted me as he plopped into the seat beside mine.

I didn't respond, keeping my eyes fixed on my notebook. If I didn't engage, maybe he'd take the hint and go away.

"Come on, don't be like that," he said, leaning closer. "At least pretend you're happy to see me."

I flipped a page in my notebook, ignoting him.

"What are you writing? A love letter to me?" he teased, his grin evident in his tone.

Still, I didn't answer.

A moment later, Austin appeared, setting a steaming cup of coffee on my desk. "Here," he said, his voice softer than Alex's usual banter. "To stop you from catching a cold after walking in the rain today."

I glanced at the cup but didn't touch it.

"Don't ignore me," Alex said, reaching over and grabbing the coffee. If you're not going to drink it, I will." He took a dramatic sip, smacking his lips with exaggerated satisfaction.

"Alex," Austin muttered, his tone laced with irritation.

"What? It's good coffee," Alex replied, grinning at his brother.
