“You're laughing at me, omega?”

“Of course not,” I answered.

“No?”

“No,” I tried to stop before the honorifics slipped out, but it was too late. “Alpha.”

I was sure both of our eyes dilated at the name.

He grunted as his hands gripped onto me harder. “Or maybe you’re just a brat.”

A brat?

I wanted to yell and scream of course not, but… for some reason that didn’t sound so bad. Not when it was coming out of his mouth.

Not when he sounded like that.

“That’s okay. I’m sure I’ll get my chance to spank you soon if not before my brothers. Don’t worry though, I like to watch them.”

“You’d watch me?”

“Sure,” he grinned, lips closed.

This was it. He was going to kiss me–

He pulled away. “We should make sure we get to dinner before Marko comes looking for us. It seems he’s already a little touchy. Best hop to it, smart girl.”

Taking a step back and leaving me on shaky legs, I took a step past him as he swept his hand in the right direction.

I had no idea what I was doing anymore, but I couldn’t help it.

I think I liked it.

“Don’t tease me smart girl.”

“Who said that I was teasing.”

The air crackled with tension as Liam and I stood in the dimly lit room. Our gazes locked in a silent dance of desire and longing. I never felt this way before, but I was slowly starting to—and was it possible that it wasn’t just with him.

Cal. Now Liam. Marko with his kind hands and French toast and eyes that looked at me as if…

Without a word, Liam closed the distance between them, his hand reaching out to gently cup my cheek.

My breath caught in my throat as his touch sent shivers racing down their spine, igniting a fire deep within them.

Slowly, almost hesitantly, I leaned into his touch, eyes fluttering shut as I savored the warmth of his hand against my skin. I felt like I was burning again only this time. I liked it.

I liked it more than I probably should’ve.

Was this maybe what other omegas felt when they… when they found alphas or packs like Cal tried to explain to me they could and live happy lives unlike the ones I ever knew?

Liam's lips brushed against my own and I gasped.

The kiss was a tentative gesture, a silent question hanging between them, another word in our very own language, begging for permission to delve deeper into the unspoken desires that simmered just beneath the surface.

Omega. Alpha.

Ella. Liam.
