I figured, though, that he’d be with Johannes. And that would be good, because I could kill two birds with one stone. I didn’t know what exactly I was going to do. Maybe I’d just bark at them and order them to realize I actually loved them both.

I did love them.

Johannes and I hadn’t had a sexual relationship before, and maybe I’d always been envious of him. He was so easy to get along with and so popular. Everyone liked Johannes. I wished, sometimes, I could be like that, instead of gruff and bristly and frightening.

But even with that friction of envy, there was true regard there. I’d always been attracted to him, and I’d always seen his value. I think the foundation for love had been there all along.

I wasn’t sure why it was that having him obey me in bed solidified my feelings for him, but it did.

It was the responsibility thing again. They were all mine, all four of them, and I wanted to protect them and care for them. And to take care of them sexually, to make them all very turned on and to make their scents go crazy in the air and to get them all to come for me. They were my pack. I couldn’t help but feel a tenderness for them.

Maybe…

Maybe I could say something like that?

I was afraid the words would get stuck in my throat or that they’d come out wrong. I was afraid if I said it that they’d lose some respect for me. But maybe I needed to try to say it anyway.

I practiced it, over and over again, as I walked through the halls to Nikolai’s room. “You are all mine, and I love you and want to make you happy. I feel tenderness for each of you.” I licked my lips and whispered it aloud, again and again. “I love you,” I said. “I love you.”

There was only one man I’d ever said that to, and it was Nikolai.

I got to Nikolai’s room, and it was empty.

Also, I scented traces of Aurelie there.

Huh.

I left the room and went downstairs. I asked one of the servants about Nikolai and Aurelie. Were they together somewhere on the grounds?

Part of me felt hurt that she’d gone to him and not to me, but part of me thought she’d done exactly the right thing. Nikolai had needed her more in that moment than I did. I wanted Nikolai to experience her, the way she could make a man feel. Nikolai deserved to feel that feeling. She had been exactly what he needed in that moment, and I knew it.

That made me feel a swelling feeling of happiness, thinking of her and him together. The tenderness rose as I pictured her comforting Nikolai. The images quickly turned to a swirling mixture of the two of them naked together. I’d been fantasizing about them together for a long time. My omega and my Nikolai. I loved thinking of her sucking him or taking his hard cock in her wet pussy—in my wet pussy.

I shook myself.

Fuck, the problem with everything was that they all made me incredibly turned on, and when I got turned on, the alpha part of me got prominent, and I couldn’t stop myself from being a little bit demanding. Maybe a lot demanding?

Anyway, now I was in a conversation with the staff while my cock was straining inside my pants. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing, but embarrassment was weak, so I refused to feel that feeling. If they disapproved, I’d show them that they needed to respect me. If they wouldn’t respect me, they’d fear me. End of story.

Luckily, the woman I was speaking to seemed oblivious to the bulge in my pants. “They left about an hour ago. They took a car, and they seemed to be in a real hurry.”

“Left?” I furrowed my brow. “Where were they going?”

“They didn’t share that information with me,” she said.

I thanked the woman and went back up the stairs. I was going to talk to Johannes. As I walked there, I got out my phone and dialed Nikolai.

He didn’t answer.

I called Aurelie.

She didn’t answer either.

What the fuck? When they got back here, I was going to teach them that when their alpha called them, they answered the damned phone. I was going to smack both of their asses until they were red and sore and then knot their tight little assholes in succession until they got the message. They would both apologize to their alpha and swear never to do it again.

Maybe if they resisted, I’d consider keeping them tied up for a while. A few days locked in the nest, handcuffed hand and feet? I thought about stretching each of them up to the ceiling, hands above their heads, their beautiful bodies stretched out and nude for my viewing pleasure.

My cock pulsed.
