her face. So | let my brow crease.
“A little. But it’s within what I can handle.”
Her cool expression shifted, just slightly, into faint frustration.
“When we get back, I'll try to make something to help with the pain,” she said. “But... the truth is,
the later stages of treatment will only get more painful.”
Something soft brushed against my heart, like the gentle scrape of a paw. My omega was always

there are looks people give me... and when | see them, | know I’ve already becan outsider. Isn’t
