Goddamn, she was a stuttering mess, and I was enjoying every evil second of it. I wanted her terrified and dripping with slick. I wanted to look into those hazel eyes as they overflowed with tears, my cock rammed down the back of her throat.
And the thing was, I knew she wanted it too.
I could smell how aroused she was, the deep, musky scent of lust blooming as her scent flooded the air around us. I imagined stuffing my mouth between her thighs and licking up all that delicious honey, imagined tasting her heat on my tongue, imagined bathing my cock in her cum…
“Dangerous? No doubt, princess.” I growled in her ear, rubbing myself against her as I dragged one hand up to her throat and gripped hard. “But you love that, don’t you?”
Her scent flared, and Jean whimpered, struggling to nod against my hand.
Click.
The door to the room opened, and shit, I’d completely lost my damn head. I should have heard Cane coming back with Kai, but I was too damn wrapped up in everything that was Jean.
“Well, well,” Cane drawled, and I fought to turn my head toward him, still unable to release Jean’s throat.
“And you were worried she wouldn’t go into heat for you,” Kai smirked, already pulling off his suit jacket and headingacross the room toward us. “I think our new Queen will be just fine.”

CANE
I hadn’t beenable to leave that fucking ballroom fast enough. There were far more important things than saying good evening to the gaggling crowd of sycophants who had gathered to witness the wedding. There had been too many who were vocal enough about this distaste for the arrangement and not enough resources to deal with them all at present, so I would have to wait for a later date to rid myself of them.
And again, much better things to do than pruning a few bad apples had awaited me in my chambers.
On our walk down the long hallway, both Kai and I had scented the perfuming fragrance of our omega wafting stronger and stronger from my room. It had been all I could do to keep myself from fucking sprinting in that direction.
Now that we’d arrived, Kai was wasting no time getting to work, releasing his own heady aroma–red velvet and sugary sherry–and as much as I didn’t want it spreading around that I wasthatintent on Jean going into heat right the fuck now, the excitement that Kai could guarantee it was more than enough to overpower that annoyance.
A hungry growl reverberated through me as we walked in to find Reed gripping our sweet Jean’s slender neck, and I stalked up to her, crossing the long room in a handful of strides. Arousal dripped from Jean’s scent, and my cock throbbed, my knot swelling just a hair in anticipation.
I hadn’t been with a female in a long ass time, not since the last beta volunteer had left our little trio a bit less than satisfied. This was sonotthat. Jean was immaculate, that impressive gown moments from being shredded and left on the floor. And for as much as we all knew she was our scent match, it was the way Jean was hanging there on the edge, desperate for more in Reed’s grip, that really sealed the deal.
She wanted his darkness, darkness that I was quite fond of myself, and oh my, would she be taking quite the fill of it tonight.Perfection.
“Well, now that the cat’s out of the bag,” I snarled, unable to keep myself from sidling right up to Jean’s front and nipping near her neck, “Kai, please ensure our perfect mate here goes into heat immediately. I need to fuck her within an inch of her life, knowing that our Queen will be well on the way to carrying on the Cartalga line.”
“I…” Jean squeaked out, her scent flaring so damn bright as Reed wound his hand through her hair, gripping hard enough to make his knuckles go white.
“What, little omega?” My cock ached to be inside her as I began to toy with the edges of the lace on Jean’s dress, sliding the pad of my finger across the seams along the sheer sections. “What’s distracting that pretty head of yours while your mates are trying to claim you?”
She whimpered, and I could sense the warring, conflicting emotions powering through her. Jean wasn’t one to submit easily, but in the presence of her scent matches, she had little choice. Her exquisite omega physiology melted for her Alpha,carrying it right along to our beta and the unique wonder that was ourmaleomega.
As if he could read my thoughts, Kai knelt at Jean’s feet, his hands traveling up her legs as that sugary confection scent of his swelled. I couldfeelthe warmth radiate off him like standing in a patch of sunlight. He’d initiated his heat, and fucking hell, it rocketed the lust in this room well past the stratosphere.
Kai’s also giving our feisty Queen someone to lord over. Such a good boy.
“I can’t, umm…” Jean struggled to form the words. “Dermal implant. No…pregnancies.”
Cocking a brow as I stared down at our magnificent omega, I dragged a finger along Jean’s cheek. My erection pressed against her hips, where I pinned her back to Reed, who was undoubtedly grinding his own erection against her ass.
“Where?”
Jean’s eyes flickered open as she tried to concentrate around the potent hormones, that gorgeous hazel color like rippling water reflecting a forest scene. A tremor of fear licked through her, creating a bitter tinge to her scent. It wasn’t enough to spoil the spicy black currant fragrance, though. If anything, it added a layer of complexity and allure.
Reed wasn’t the only one who liked them to be a bit frightened, after all.
Some of the haze affecting Jean’s mind backed off, and she jerked slightly between Reed and me. “Why?”
