Micah shouldn't be feeling this way.
He isn't hers for her to be feeling like this. But she didn't know what she felt or should be feeling when she saw that omega straddling Severo like that. They both look ecstatic, laughing without a care in the world.
Micah can't help but wonder who he is to Severo. Maybe he could be his friend…or something more than that. But there's no retreat from the way her heart drops into her stomach or the jealousy crawls onto her skin like a creepy insect. Micah didn't know it would pain her so much to see Severo with someone who isn't her.
God, she almost rejected him. There's no reason for her to be feeling this way. Yet all she sees behind her closed lids as she lay here in her bed, trying to catch the sleep that had abandoned her a long time ago, are them sitting in the garden. laughing, touching.
