Page 37 of Knotting Before Them

“Lower your voice, boy,” Tio cut in. He sighed, shaking his head before his eyes locked on me, pointing a finger. “I told Carlo that was going to happen when he escaped with that girl.”

“You mean my dad was an alpha, but my mother wasn’t an omega?” I asked, lowering my voice as he asked.

“Your father had a pack and responsibilities. Our father was the leader, and your father was the oldest son. He fell in love with a girl outside the village and left.”

Theo whistled, and Noah winced. I'd learned a lot about their way of life in the last months, and leaving a pack isn’t something that was done. I couldn’t imagine anyof them abandoning the others. They were extremely loyal to each other. Thinking that my dad broke that trust was a hard pill to swallow.

“He was in love, though,” Wylder said, looking directly at me.

I nodded, concentrating back on my uncle. “I had no idea about, well… anything until I met the guys.”

“There was a chance that you’d be a beta.” My uncle shrugged. “Maybe your dad was betting on that. The last we spoke, I warned him. You were young, before puberty, so I couldn’t be sure, but there was something about you.”

“Even if I wasn’t an omega,” I breathed out, “I deserved to know where I came from.”

Tio watched me for a moment too long, his eyes narrowing, making the boys uneasy beside me. I touched Noah’s leg, trying to calm him down. They were protective, and I usually loved it, but my uncle was all the family I had left.

I wanted this meeting to go well.

Finally, he nodded and let out a slow breath. “I’ll bring you to the village. You’ll meet everyone in the morning.”

Nothing could spoil my smile. “Thank you.”

It was our lastnight at the hotel before we met the village and spent time with my family. I was giddy, excited, nervous. I was so self-conscious, even with all the months of my three mates reminding me I was enough. I sang it to myself all the time, getting my nerves to relax. I didn’t want to ruin the moment with anxiety.

Warm arms closed around my waist from behind, and I inhaled deeply, a smile coming to my lips.

Theo.

“Are you excited?” he murmured in my ear.

“Yes. Nervous too.”

Theo kissed my shoulder. “They are going to love you, Jules. No one can meet you and not love you.”

I chuckled. “You’re biased.”

He nodded, his hands going up to my breasts as he took one in each hand. “I am. I think you’re the most perfect woman in the world.”

I sighed and didn’t argue. I was slowly learning to take their compliments with a smile instead of arguing. It was great. It was okay to feel great, too.

Theo kissed my neck slowly, playing with my nipples over my summer dress. I rarely wore a bra. It drove them nuts, so it was another reason for me to go without.

Soon, Theo slid the straps down my shoulders, exposing my breasts to the warm room. One hand slid down and found me without panties, too.

“Jules,” he growled in my ear. “The whole day without panties? Are you planning on killing us?”

“They get soaked anyway.” I smirked as he started playing with my clit. “What is the point?”

“You’re delicious, my mate.”

Theo brought me to the window, placing my hands over the glass and pushing my legs apart so I felt his thick cock between my cheeks.

“Hold on,” he instructed.

I whimpered as he lowered to the ground, spread my ass, and licked me so well, my knees went soft.

“Shit, Theo!”
