He gave me a small smile tinged with melancholy as he untied my other bun. “You caught me.”

My parents and I used to live in Chinatown. That was the last place he’d seen me. At the bus stop that would take him out to the suburbs at the edge of the city. I couldn’t believe that never occurred to me before.

I felt stupid all over again.

“Hey, don’t do that.” Liam combed out my hair and gave me a soft, sweet kiss. “My mother made sure all traces of me and my fake name were erased. There’s no way you could have known.”

I lay back down, finally understanding why I’d never been able to find anything about the boy I went to school with. That anxious curiosity in the back of my mind finally faded away when it all clicked.

“I like the house in Chinatown, but there’s no room for me there.”

“You only think that because you’ve never been up to the third floor.” Cas slid his fingers through my hair again and again. It was soothing and I almost felt sleepy.

“What’s on the third floor?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?” I cracked an eye open to study Liam and saw the glittering red of Liam’s eyes staring at me with such predatory intensity I suddenly didn’t feel the littlest bit sleepy.

“Nothing,” he confirmed. “I left it alone and completely empty so you could design your own nest when I finally found you again. I didn’t know if you’d be an omega or not, but I figured it should be yours regardless since you would no doubt have at least one weird hobby.”

My heart skipped a beat when the full scope of my new reality hit me like a brick.

This was all real.

Liam had spent all these years looking for me, planning for this very moment—ensuring I would have anything and everything I needed. He had really, truly planned for everything.

“I am an omega, but I don’t know if I want kids,” I blurted out.

Cas snorted at that, more amusement flooding the bond. “Okay. And?”

And…

“I don’t know. Doesn’t that bother you?”

“Nope.” Cas kissed the top of my head and ruffled Liam’s hair. “This one’s a little disappointed though, isn’t he?”

I tried to understand the feeling coming from Liam and decided it wasn’t sad or disappointed, but…wistful.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Liam insisted. He kissed my cheek and gave me such a brilliant smile I felt like I had to believe him. “Whatever you want, remember?”

Right, whatever I wanted.

It was still a shock to know I could still do what I wanted even though I was bonded to two alphas. And one of them was a legacy alpha.

“So, where do you want to live?”

I contemplated that as he kissed every single one of the spider lilies on my back, moving up my spine toward my neck. “The house in Chinatown. But not until sometime after the meeting with Lopez and Valor. I can’t abandon Frankie.”

“She can just move in with us.” Liam kissed the spider lily on the other side of my neck, carefully holding up most of his weight so he didn’t squash me.

“My pheromones make her sick,” I reminded him. “You’re not going to want me to wear scent blockers.”

“We’ll see what Nathan has to say about your new levels. If she can’t handle them…” Liam trailed off.

I watched him lean back and prop his head up with his hand as he thought about that. Then he smiled down at me and I was almost nervous about whatever it was he decided.

“I’ll just buy the townhouse next to ours then. We can put a door in between them so you don’t even have to go outside to see her if you don’t want to.”
