Did he justpur? It was only for a moment, but I swore I heard it.

It was something an alpha did to calm an omega. And I was feeling a bit more at ease. Still, purring felt so out of the ordinary. Omegas could technicallypurtooifthey found their true mates, not that I felt like purringthoughthe thought was suddenly right here inthe front ofmy mind.

“Come here,” Demetri whispered. “If you’d like.”

I stared before taking one step towards him, and then Itook a stepback and shook my head.“I’mgood.”

“Are you sure? If youwantI can lay down with you.”

“Lay down…”I glanced to our side. Inthe nest.

We were going to lay down in the nest–A nest that wasmore or less empty aside from the thick cushion and pillows lining the outside.

There were no blankets or anythingexactlyspecial, but myheart felt like it was going to burst at even the suggestion, my stomach turning over in somersaults as I looked between Demetri sitting down on the edge and waiting for me to join.

Nests were like a fantasy, and now I carefully climbed on top of the mattress that felt like a cloud.

My eyes fluttered shutandI nearly wanted to melt into the nest. It was empty, but also itwasn’t. The scent of sharp sweetness and clove wrapped around me as Demetri testedwrappinghis arms around me, lowering me back into the pillows.

How did I never realize just how wonderful he smelled? Like rich deluxe chocolate. If I could just…

Why in the world did I want to lick all these men?

“What is so funny? Though I’m glad you’re laughing rather than shaking now,” said Demetri.

I shook my head.“Nothing. Just, um, my omega.”

“Does your omega speak to you loudly?”

“Not much in words.”

“I see.”

“You do?”

“Yes.”

My eyes widened.

I mean, I noticed how Cal looked at meandI remembered what happened between Liam and me, but for some reason, Ididn’tthink Demetri wanted me here for any other reason but out of kind obligation.“Youdon’tknow me.”

“But I’d like to,” he said. “And it doesn’t matter. My alpha’s been thinking about holding you like this since I first made it back in the house.”

“Really?”

“Mhm,”Demetri said.“I left work early because we were uneasy. Youaren’tthe only one ruled by your designation, Ella.It’snatural.”

“Iguess,”I said, resigned to the fact that the beast inside of me was sick of being suppressed with pills and deodorizers.

“I promise.”

“And youaren’ta man who breaks those promises.”

He twisted until he looked me in the eye.“I’mnot.”

“Promise?”

He chuckled with me, seeing thesmallsmile on my face.“Promise. We want you here, Ella. I want you here.”He added the final words as if he heard my previous doubt.
