"Angelique, you should go," Maximillian told his little sister once they were alone. Julian, who disliked strangers, opted to help Eugene clear the table after breakfast.
Sipping at a cup of latte, Angelique pursed her lips unhappily.
"What are you being so protective over your lover for? I am also an omega. I won't harm him in any way."
"I never said that you would harm him. Julian is shy around strangers. I would rather not have you overwhelm him with your... extraordinary presence."
Angelique, failing to catch Maximillian's implied admonishment, puffed her chest up proudly.
"Are you starting to see your little sister as the heavenly beauty she is???"
"..."
With an expressionless face, Maximillian tipped his cup of coffee slightly in Angelique's direction.
