Chapter 30

“Wow. Never heard of tuo, uh…”

“Tuohygans.” Troy smiled. “We’re pretty rare. So are omegas” Here goes,Troy thought. “My omega is your brother, Beck, uh, Beckett.”

Asher didn’t react. Troy tried reaching out to scan his mind but without success. “Did you hear what I said?”

“I did. But why are you telling me? I haven’t seen Becket for years.”

“I know, but…”

“He doesn’t want anything to do with me, so,” Asher shrugged, “I guess the feeling’s mutual.”

“What?” Troy stopped walking and eventually Asher did, too. Thinking quickly, Troy asked, “Did your parents tell you this? That Beck doesn’t want to have anything to do with you?”

Asher nodded.

Troy shook his head. “Not true. Just came from Beck’s house this morning and he very much wants to speak with you, be a part of your life if you’ll let him. He always has.”

Asher opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
