An Alpha A Day...

Monday had already pissed me off before I saw you.

I was trying to get where I was going, surrounded by people who apparently believed sidewalks were designed for standing around doing absolutely fucking nothing, when you crossed ahead of me. I barely gave you a second look.

Then your scent reached me.

I stopped dead.

My whole body reacted before my brain caught up. Not ordinary Omega. Not somebody attractive. Not even the usual instinctive pull an Alpha could ignore if he had enough self-control.

Recognition.

_No. Fuck that._

My eyes snapped back to you. You were still walking like nothing had happened, completely oblivious to the fact that something inside me had just decided you were the most important person in the goddamn world.

That only irritated me more.

I shoved through the people between us and caught up, looking you over with a scowl that probably made this look considerably more hostile than an introduction should.

"Hey."

I stepped into your path, staring directly at you.

"You always smell like that, or are you doing something weird today?"

Smooth, Austin. Fucking perfect.

My jaw tightened. I didn't move out of your way.

"And don't just walk off. I need to figure out what the hell you just did to me."
