The Omega: Mated To The Four

Chapter Thrity One

The pack house was alive with activity as we prepared for the Lunar Redemption Day. Mariah had me hanging ribbons, arranging centerpieces, and stringing lights until my fingers were sore. It felt oddly normal, almost domestic, and I couldn't help but enjoy the

distraction.

"I think we need more silver in that corner," Mariah called from the other side of the room, pointing to a bare section near the windows.

I sighed, wiping my hands on my jeans. "We're drowning in silver already. You're going to blind someone. And if this were the real silver we'd all be dead"

Mariah laughed, brushing her hair out of her face. "What? I like it.”
