He hisses.

Then I slip my hand down the front of his pants, grasping his cock.

His cock is shockingly hot in my cold hand.

“Never stop touching me.” He bucks into my hand, as I excite him further with slow, hard strokes. “I love you.”

Then a deep, rumbling sound vibrates from my throat. It’s contented and satisfied.

I’m purring…

For the first time in my life, I’m actually fucking purring.

I can feel against my chest, how fast Cygnus’ heart is racing.

His heart is pounding as fast as mine is.

“You’re purring.” His voice is watery with tears. “It’s beautiful. You’re adorable.”

Knowing that Cygnus can’t purr, his grace in this moment makes me love him even more.

My cheeks are wet, as I nuzzle his neck as he does mine.

I never want to let go.

I thought that this wasn’t possible.

But maybe, I’ve just never been happy or safe enough before.

I was trained that Omega instincts were weaknesses. I was conditioned out of them.

But one by one, I’m claiming them back.

And here, with my Omega in my arms, I know that I’ve finally found my happy place that can make me purr.

I’m never going to lose this.

He’s my swan.

“So, while your Alphas play the most important game of their life, you’re playing with each other.” A harsh voice cuts sharply through the peace, and my purring abruptly stops. Cygnus’ shoulders hunch. “Well, brother, I guess that she’s playing with you, which answers the question of who wears the pants in your relationship. I should have known that it wouldn’t be you, when you’ve failed at all your Omega duties. After all, even though she’s a Reject, she’ll likely birth your Alphas’ babies. Do you think that they’ll care about you then, when you have no proper role in the pack? When you’re nothing but their fucktoy, and she’s the mother?”

Cygnus whimpers in distress.

Anger curdles my stomach.

How can someone’s own sister say such a malicious thing?

I slip my hand out of Cygnus’ pants, before pulling him defensively behind me.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I bare my teeth. “Shouldn’t you be happy? We won against the Panthers and got into the finals. Or did you just feel like kicking your brother?”

Sydney swaggers closer, crunching over the snow in her heavy boots.

I square my shoulders.

As she approaches, her shadow swallows me.

Sydney’s mouth pinches, as she replies bitterly, “A legendary game that I missed because your bonding meant that you remained here, and so owing to optics, one Alpha from the pack had to remain on the estate as well. Lucky me, I’m the least important and had to stay here. Do you think that I felt like searching the estate to find you? Why the hell are you out here?”
