Chapter 10

“This making my heart bang like crazy, is it something you can control?”

Arvid shook his head. “You feel what I feel if you’re close to me.”

“And I can’t block it?” The frown wasn’t what Arvid had expected. Most shifters were thrilled to meet an omega.

“I don’t think so.”

“Do you feel what I feel?”

Arvid shook his head.

“So, it’s a pretty crappy skill.”

Arvid stared. “What?” He was an omega, a luna, a some-other-word. He was a prized possession, an asset for the pack, a something else.

“What do you get out of it?”

“Erm…nothing? I don’t have to obey when an alpha tells me to do something.” That was the main thing. The emotional part didn’t matter to him since he didn’t feel other people’s emotions, but he wasn’t predisposed to do something. He had a will of his own. And he treasured it.

Espen pursed his lips and reached for a third hot dog. Where the heck had the second gone? Arvid bit into his first, it was still a bit too hot.
