Gift Giving

Sophia's birthday was quickly approaching and Luca had told the others in the penthouse that he was taking her away for the entire day and the following night. Depending on how it went, their time might bleed into the following day so it was best for everyone to give any gifts or well-wishes before.

Since the dominant alpha had spoken, there was nothing the others could do but fall in line. 

Rachel had a bittersweet feeling of shopping for someone so much like her omega. It felt even worse with her rut approaching and, as she chose items she knew would suit both Sophia and her late wife, she had to hold strong or she was going to have a breakdown in a shopping mall full of people while Gus waited in the car. 

The physical side of her broken bond had mostly healed except for the issue with her rut. It was her emotions that were still all over the place.
