Page 6 of My Omega's Miracle

Noel seemed to shrink down like he was attempting to make himself smaller. A sure sign that wherever he came from wasn’t the most positive place.

My alpha instincts told me to calm him in any way that I could. I resisted the urge to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “You aren’t any trouble.”

I found my phone and dialed the number I knew, only to reach an answering machine.

“Due to the inclement weather, our offices will be closed for the next several days. Good luck.”

Seriously, “good luck” was all they could say?

“Inclement weather?” he asked, raising a brow.

“Oh, there’s a big storm coming,” I replied. “You hadn’t heard about it?”

“Apparently not,” he said. He bit his lip and looked out the window. Snow already coated the ground. Soon it would be a whirlwind of white if the weather was going to get as bad as they said.

He opened the fridge. “There are some things I can whip up quick if you’d like some breakfast. Eggs, pancakes... I might have sausage links too.” The omega bit his lip in the most adorable way as he thought to himself. I cleared my throat and had to look away.

“Sure, I’ll eat pretty much anything. Don’t feel like you have to cook for me.”

He smiled. “It’s the least I can do.” A small shiver went through him.

“I’m going to grab some wood and get this place warmed up.”

“Oh, I can help with that, too.”

“You don’t need to—you’re making breakfast. I’ll make the cabin warm.”

He blushed. “Thank you.”

I thanked my warm wolf blood for keeping me halfway warm while I was outside gathering wood. I piled as much as I could into the carrier on the front porch, stacked what I didn’t need outside, then carried the rest inside to get the fire started. Thankfully, it was all dry, and it didn’t take long to get a roaring fire going.

The omega hummed to himself as he cooked. When I came back into the kitchen, he smiled at me. “Ready,” he said and handed me a plate.

“Thanks.” I sat down at the counter—the only seating in the whole cabin besides the loveseat. It was a tidy little place, great for a getaway, but not ideal if you needed space.

I pulled out my phone to check the weather app.

“As soon as breakfast is done, I can get out of your hair. I’m sure there are other—”

I stopped him before he could continue. “I don’t think you’ll be going anywhere,” I said, turning the phone toward him. Even if he tried to leave, I wouldn’t let him go. It was too dangerous out there, and he needed to be here, where I could protect him.

A red banner scrolled across the top of my weather app: *Winter Weather Advisory.* I had the radar pulled up, showing the storm that was rolling in.

“Oh, dear,” he said, glancing out the window. Snow had already begun to fall outside, and soon we’d have a ton more. It was going to turn very, very cold.

He bit his lip, and I had to fight the urge to reach out, gently ease his lip from between his teeth, and soothe that tortured flesh with my thumb. I shook that thought away. This was an omega who clearly needed out of a bad situation—I couldn’t go pouncing on him.

“We’ll both be staying here,” I said. “We’ll make it work.”

“Are you sure? I can sleep on the couch. You’re much too… I mean, that’s… you’re very large.”

I chuckled. “We’ll figure all that out later. For now, I think we have a little bit of work to do before the storm hits completely. We’ll want as much firewood inside as we can, and we’ll need to take stock of our food. I brought plenty with me. We’ll get it all inside. We may need extra blankets too.”

“Of course. I’ll help with whatever you need.”

I smiled. “It’s a plan.”
