Ah, but that was the beauty of things, he didn't actually ever have to do anything to Alpha... the threat was enough.

He watched her and felt his anger fade away to be replaced by relief. Months of obsessive worry could be finally shed... though one point remained. One painfully sharp failure on his part.

"Look Tex, I know I'm pretty shit at this sort of thing and I want you to know I don't expect anything... but, for what it's worth... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened. I should have paid more attention to the date and well, done things differently."

He knows she had Omega at the time, but he also knows that a lot of her anger with him was genuine and in some ways justified.
