I chuckled and hugged her tight. “Whatever you want, my vicious little omega…whatever you want.”

CHAPTER 30

Cas

Holy shit. Liam was this close to killing his mother and somehow Lucy had brought him back from the brink before it was too late. His pheromones were strong enough I didn’t think there’d be any survivors and when he came back to his senses he would have been wrecked to find out Warren was dead, but Lucy…

I knew she was perfect, but it still shocked me every time she dealt with Liam at his most dangerous like it was nothing. This guy was notorious for losing his cool and we’d never found anything that actually helped temper this rage.

Fucking someone only made him angrier and fighting only helped if someone died. There were times both our lives had been on the line because of that but I was used to it. Letting that happen to Lucy on the other hand…

Except he’d melted the second she’d touched him even in front of all these other legacy alphas and the tension in his body that always warned me when he was about to lose control had all but disappeared. She’d even threatened him and we both knew she meant it.

He was chuckling as he held her while five people desperately tried to catch their breath, but Frankie looked smug with her fancy little mask. Sweat trickled down Francisco’s face, but he didn’t seem too bothered.

No, it was Nicolette who was still holding onto her throat like she couldn’t believe her son had just tried to kill her…and his omega had saved her life.

It was pretty fucking unbelievable, but Lucy had always been such a perfect little omega. She knew exactly what ticked off alphas and what settled them so she could make her life easier. If she wanted us at each other’s throats, it would be all too easy for her and she’d yanked Liam around like he was nothing more than her favorite plushie.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. Her scent was helping and so was the bond, but I had no idea what was going to happen next and I had to be ready.

Lucy pulled back and gave Liam this fucking smile that made me want to hold them both in my arms and squeeze until I couldn’t figure out where they ended and I began.

Then she was looking at me and I took an involuntary step forward when I saw the color of her eyes, the entire table screeching as I shoved it out of the way.

Her eyes were purple – a purple so dark and varied I wanted to stare into them forever.

Lucy looked so relieved when she found me right where she’d left me, watching her like I always was. Then she gave me that very same smile and it nearly brought me to my knees.

Did she know what she looked like right now? Did she understand? Fuck me, what was I going to do about this? How was I supposed to pretend I didn’t exist when she looked at me like there was no one else in the fucking room?

I grabbed her face and tilted it up so I could see the way the light made the color sparkle. I couldn’t believe her eyes were purple. I’d been so sure they’d turn some variety of red that it had never occurred to me they’d look like this.

Did he see it too?

I looked over at Liam and realized he was feeling the same way I was about this. Lucy was a dominant omega bonded to a legacy alpha. How was this possible?

“Hey baby?”

Lucy couldn’t look at Liam with the way I was holding her, but she made a small noise of affirmation to show she was listening.

“What happens when you mix red and blue together?”

She frowned and tried to glare at Liam like he was being ridiculous for no reason. “Purple…why?”

I went into this knowing they’d always have something I couldn’t quite be a part of – that their connection was deeper than anything I could hope to have for myself. It wasn’t just Lucy’s connection with Liam either, but his connection with her.

There were days I fucking hated Liam, but I always loved him.

Neither of us were quite enough to fully satisfy the other, but our relationship had always meant the world to me.

I knew my place though. I was a beloved pet who would never stand proudly by his side for the world to see. I’d always stand behind him because I was the shadow cast by his light.

But our omega had purple eyes.

Maybe it was stupid, but for some reason, it made me believe our love was equal when I could see it in her eyes. He loved her just as much as I did – loved me enough that the red didn’t overtake the blue.

I released her and went to stand beside Liam, my shoulder brushing against his.
