Page 315 of Omega for the Pack

“Hey, Mom,” I said, matching her smile. “I can’t believe we’re on this yacht. What are you doing here?”

“Your alphas invited me and your fathers,” she said.

“Wow.”

“Your alphas are doing an amazing job,” she said. “Come say hi to your fathers.”

I hugged each of my dads and caught up with them for the first twenty minutes of the trip. Then I spoke to Keera next. Her alpha Jatix’s arm was around her.

“Where is the rest of your pack?” I asked her.

“Shawn gets seasick, and the rest of them are working,” said Keera, looking up at Jatix with adoration. He gave her a one-sided smile and kissed her on the lips. I smiled at how cute they were together.

“You look ready to pop,” Keera said, her eyes wide when she noticed my belly.

“I feel like I am,” I said.

“Why won’t you find out what the baby is?” asked Keera, who was flabbergasted about my decision not to know.

“We just want to be surprised, that’s all,” I shrugged.

I felt my belly tense up suddenly, and I placed a hand on my belly as I looked out to the water. I took a couple of short breaths waiting for the sharp pain to pass. As the sun began to set, it cast a warm golden glow across the vast expanse of the ocean. The gentle waves crashing against the hull of the ship was a sight to behold.

“You really shouldn’t be out here on the ocean,” said Keera as she watched me. “You’re out here having contractions.”

“It’s not the real contractions,” I said, gulping with fear that she could be right. As an ex-nurse, this was the dumbest mistake I could make. We were out in the middle of the ocean, but the chances of me having a baby within a three-hour span was unlikely.

But also possible.

“Ladies,” said Vanessa, my sister-in-law, strolling up to us with a drink in her hand. We hugged, and Vanessa was careful not to squish my belly. “You’re so big!”

My brother Jack and his pack were socializing with my alpha pack. It made my heart warm to see that.

“Thanks,” I said sarcastically, and she laughed. “How’s my brother treating you?”

“He’s wonderful,” said Vanessa dreamily, sipping her drink. “He makes sure I’m not being pushed around by the Royal Pack whenever I visit them for my son, Gabe.”

“How about Alex, is he less of an ass?” I asked.

“I love Alex,” she said in a low voice. “Don’t let him hear that. We got into an argument this morning.”

“Oh gosh,” I said, shaking my head.

“Jade,” said Caleb from behind me.

“Yes?” I asked, turning around.

He cleared his throat and looked around at everyone. I was confused. Dravin, Nick, and Bruce stood around him, looking at me with love in their eyes.

What was going on?

"My dearest Jade,” Caleb’s voice was rough but filled with love. My heart began thumping in my chest. “From the moment I met you, you’ve become a light in my heart. A light of hope, laughter, and love. I couldn’t imagine spending my life with an omega who isn’t you.”

He took a step closer, and his kiss on my hand sent a warmth radiating down my body. He went down on one knee.

“Oh my god,” I whispered, my hand to my mouth. I couldn’t have imagined that he would propose today like this.

He reached into his pocket, retrieving a small velvet box. Then one by one, the rest of his pack went down on their knees, each presenting a single rose.
