Chapter Three

Finnley was in his room, getting ready to go pick up Cherry for their date when his dad knocked on the door.

"Hey dad," Finnley said, looking at him through the mirror.

"Be careful tonight, I told a friend you had a date and who with, she told me that the brothers have a claim to their sister," Champ said.

"They are the ones who said it was fine," Finnley said.

Champ nodded and walked further into the room.

" Finn, her father," Champ started.

" it's the talk of the school; I know what Cherry's dad does to her, but I also know that I'm the only one who smells lavender and warm cinnamon when I am around her. Cherry calms my head, I know that I sound obsessed, but I can't help how I feel," Finnley said, turning.

" No, son, it sounds like you found your mate," Champ said.

Finnley was taken back by what he dad said there was no way he had found his mate that was insane Finnley was sure he didn't have one.

" Pure Omegas have one scent to everyone except their mate. I like to think it's so they can weed out the not so good ones," Champ said.

" they are going to kill me," Finnley said, sinking into the bed.

Champ sat next to his son, shook his head telling Finn they weren't getting married, it was a date, and if it ends well, then that's a good thing, and he could bring it up and some point further down the road. Finnley nodded as he told his dad he was right, and there was nothing to worry about grabbing the keys to his truck and a few other things before heading out.

Finnley took a deep breath pulling up to Cherry's house, it was shabby and worn down, but that didn't matter to Finn what mattered was the Omega of his dreams was going on a date with him, and he was going to show her how amazing she could be treated.

He parked the truck, got out, and walked up the steps pressing the doorbell. Nothing happened, Bo opened the door.

"Doorbell doesn't work, but Cherry smelled you. So, where are we going?" Bo asked as Axel pushed his way out the door.

Finnley had forgotten that they were tagging along to keep an eye on things, "I found a clearing perfect to look at the stars, and my dad had the cook pack us a dinner," Finn said.

"Sounds like fun," Cherry said.

Her scent smacked him the face. There was some underlined distress, but he would ask about it when they were alone. Cherry shouted bye to their dad as she shut the door and walked down the steps.

Finn opened Cherry's door for her, she smiled and thanked him, keeping her head down. He thought that was strange because she always took a peek at him. Finn was going to wait to ask.

The boys followed in their truck as Finn pulled away from the curb.

"Are you ok? If you don't want," Finn started.

Cherry moved her hair out of her face, and she had a huge black eye, Finn was surprised that it wasn't swollen shut.

"What the fuck?" Finn yelled. He tried to pull over.

"Don't, pretend everything is fine, I'm going to tell you, but they can't know," Cherry said.

"Ok," Finn said, trying to keep his calm.

Cherry took a deep breath, "I told daddy you smelled like a mate," she said quickly.

Finn nodded, telling her to go on and tell him more.
