“And if you get caught up in anything, I’ll be by your side. Deal?” I love the promise in his eyes.

“Fuck, no,” Jasper cuts in. “It’ll be me with her, and I’ll burn every fucker for even so much as looking at you. We’re never leaving you alone again.”

“Okay,” I say, then smile widely. “Maybe we should get in the car and get out of here now.”

“You bet,” Seth says, opening the back door for me.

Reed and Jasper climb into the back as well, one on either side of me.

“Um, I don’t think there’s enough space,” I protest, but they’re making it happen, squishing into the back, me practically sitting on their laps, their arms around me like a safety belt. I guess they were serious about not letting me out of their sight.

“Really?” Seth snarls while rolling his eyes. “You’re all in the back seat?”

Jasper clicks his fingers. “Better hurry up and get us home if you want any piece of our Omega.”

I giggle at them, thinking I could get used to being treated like a queen by these three Alphas.

As Seth navigates the car down the street, the pace frustratingly slow due to the surrounding chaos of fans, all three men roll down their windows and lean out. Their calls to their fans turn heads and all the attention to us. The excitement in their voices is contagious. It’s also terrifying to see them all coming in our direction, and anxiety knots in my stomach.

Phone cameras flash, and a sea of faces presses close, their screams calling out for the three guys, their excitement a deafening storm. God, is this a good idea?

Locked in the car and moving ever so slowly, the sense of exposure leaves me scared, especially with me sitting on the laps of two of the band members. A flicker of panic rises within me at being exposed, at Fever being sued at having to admit in public they have an Omega. Jasper, sensing my unease, tightens his hand reassuringly around my hip.

“No more hiding, little mouse,” he whispers, an admission that’s slightly terrifying. “You are ours, and fuck the consequences. We want the world to see.”

His words have emotions crashing over me. Is this really happening? The thought of being thrust into the public eye, of the impact on Fever facing legal issues, of Nexus finding me, it’s all daunting. But I also know if Fever opening declares they now have an Omega and claim me, register me as theirs, Nexus can’t touch me. Of course, that comes at the cost of them being sued for breaching their contract. That part sits like a boulder in my chest, but staring at my men, I have to believe this is somehow going to work out for us.

“I really would love that. I’m tired of hiding and running.”

“Me, too,” Reed and Seth say simultaneously, which makes me laugh.

As we inch past the house we’ve just escaped from, a glance out the window reveals a scene of justice in progress. Police officers have a group of men detained on the ground, their hands bound behind their backs, a sight that brings a rush of relief. There’s no sign of the other captives, suggesting Casey and I might have been their only targets in the house. The sight of our captors subdued by the law is a huge victory. I just wished I could have caught up with Casey before she disappeared.

The excitement of the fans distracts me back to reality, and it borders on frenzy. Their adulation for Fever is insane. There are hands reaching into the car to touch the men.

I watch the excitement from their fans, but Seth doesn’t stop the car. He keeps going slowly, and once he has a free path on the road, he picks up speed. Reed sticks his head out, yelling that he loves them all and to keep on rocking! They go ballistic, and I glance back to see a dozen chasing us on foot.

Madness.

I settle into their arms, breathing easy, feeling like when I’m in their arms, nothing in the world can harm me.

Reed and Jasper are leaning into me, kissing me, with Seth keeps glancing back at me, his hand reaching toward me, touching my knee.

“Missed you,” he says with that seductive voice, with that wink where I stand no chance to push away from him.

I’m smiling so much, my cheeks hurt. This day has been a whirlwind of fear, but at this moment, surrounded by their love and support, I feel a sense of belonging, of home. For so long, I’ve felt lost, losing pieces of myself along the way. But now, with them, I dare to hope for a future where I can be unapologetically myself.

Being treated like a queen by these three Alphas, despite the madness surrounding us, feels like the first step toward reclaiming the parts of myself I thought were lost. Maybe, just maybe, this terrifying day is also the beginning of something truly incredible.

Chapter

DANICA

Waking up with a smile is new for me, but it’s there, bright and undeniable, after a long, deep sleep. But it’s more than that. The uncertainty that once clouded my thoughts about Reed, Jasper, and Seth has cleared, leaving behind just their love, me being cherished, of belonging in a way I never imagined possible.

Rolling over onto my back, I expect to find Reed’s familiar warm body next to me, but it’s Jasper who greets me. He’s made it a point, somewhat possessively, that I spend my nights in his bed, except for the nights Seth stakes his claim first.
