Chapter 183

I feel even more terrible and guilty that Jack is saying it's okay.
"Something else," I say.
He waits.
"Uhm... I usually have my heat like four times a year. Every couple of months." I look down at Lanny. At his tiny fingers curled around Jack's shirt.
Jack looks at me.
"How often do you have your ruts?" I ask.
"How often do you have your ruts?" I ask.
He pauses, as if to think about it.
For the duration I've known Jack, he's never really had his rut. Not once. Not even a hint of one.
"It should be the same, but I'm on suppressants, so I'm not sure," he says.
Right. Omega suppressants can only reduce symptoms and control pheromones. Alpha suppressants can totally control their biology and hormone levels.
Another imbalance in society.
"So why are you asking?" He shifts, careful not to jostle Lanny.
I exhale.
"I'm a dominant omega." The words feel heavy. "So even if the chances are low, there's a chance I might get pregnant."
Jack freezes.
