So, it’s better to enjoy this time with him, no matter how long we have together.

Then I’ll enjoy the best final heat that I can.

I’ve beaten the odds before. Now, I truly have a reason to live.

If anyone can survive, I can.

Gabriel briefly rests his hand softly over mine. “Do you like it?”

“It’s incredible,” I reply. “Everything in here is sensory. This is why Omegas should run companies. They understand what we need. Didier is a genius.”

“Well, it’s a small company, and since we bought up pretty much everything that he sells, then we’ve definitely supported him.” Gabriel slots the last piece of the bookcase into place.

See, this is how I know Gabriel’s ex-military; he fitted together a flat-pack without help or cussing.

I turn to watch Lark, who’s happily rolling around in the biggest bed that I’ve ever seen.

It lies in the middle of the Omega Chamber, low to the floor.

It was our biggest purchase, and the best thing that I’ve seen in my life.

The bedding is made up of every soft fabric that you could imagine woven together, but the mattress is functional and waterproof. What I love best about it is the silk rope around the edges that comes with it, which means that you can tie on your pack’s clothes and add them to your nest.

The Alphas’ scents make me feel safe.

Lark is sprawled on his stomach, weaving Gabriel’s polo necks and Kai’s smart suits around the bed to raise its sides into a proper nest.

Antonio pointedly arrived an hour ago with a wink and an armful of his own silk scarves, which he wound around the bed with a flourish.

I love that it smells of the whole pack.

It’s perfect.

Now, Antonio’s kneeling next to a large oak chest, which is padlocked shut with a number lock next to the bed.

He’s been trying to break the code for the last twenty minutes with intense concentration.

I squeeze Gabriel’s shoulder, before strolling past him to the bed.

I itch to dive onto all those snuggly blankets.

Who am I kidding?

I long to dive onto Lark, pin him down, and kiss the pale column of his throat.

He looks delicious in his new suit.

The clothes that Kai ordered for us arrived as well today.

To be fair to both Alphas, they offered that Lark and I could keep sleeping in the guest room, until we’d made the final decision about bonding.

I already have.

I want to be part of the Devils.

I’ve loved Gabriel for as long as I can remember.

I’m falling for Antonio.
