Following Lira and Amias's exit, the Luna tilts her head, her soft brown curls bouncing as she looks at Heidi one last time. Her smile is almost mischievous, like she knows something nobody else does.
"Well," she says brightly, her voice lilting in the air like a bell, "I'm quite sure she won't continue to be called an omega at the end of today."
The words are bold. She sounds so convincing, considering the subject here, Heidi is an Omega. Her words float over the gravel of the Alpha's courtyard.
Heidi's breath stumbles in her throat. The statement feels like someone just pulled a rug out from under her. Won't be an omega at the end of today? What on earth is that supposed to mean? She doesn't dare ask. She doesn't even dare blink too loudly.
