As we walked inside, I took in the beautiful staircase and the spacious white living room. I couldn’t imagine having little babies running around here. It was spotless, and everything was made out of glass. The first person I saw was in the kitchen. He had brown, shaggy hair and glasses as he stirred a pot.
“I have a surprise,” called Jatix. “Our new omega is here!”
The chubbier alpha smiled widely and quickly made his way over to me. He shook my hand enthusiastically, and my face cracked into the first smile of the day.
He exuded joy and infectious energy.
“It’s so nice to meet you finally,” he gushed. “Jatix couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful you were after the Omega Ball last night.”
“It’s nice to meet you too,” I said when he pulled me in for a giant hug. I decided I liked him the most already.
“I’m Shawn. Let me introduce you to my twin, Silus. He’s somewhere outside working out,” said Shawn.
“No need, I’m here,” said another male voice, entering the back door. Shawn’s twin looked almost identical to him, except for the enormous amount of tattoos he had on his body. Even more tattoos than Darius. He walked over to me and took my hand, bringing it to his lips. “I’m Silus.”
“I’m Keera. Nice to meet you,” I said. I could tell that Silus and Shawn were alphas from their thick scents of oakwood.Darius’s scent was more lowkey, and I only caught whiffs of it when he was right next to me.
“You’re beautiful,” Silus said without hesitation. “If Jatix is too much, let me know.”
“How am I ever too much?” asked Jatix, with a shocked look on his face. "Am I too much Keera, my love?"
I smiled, and the men guffawed.
“Just a little bit,” I said.
“Let me show you to your room,” said Jatix. Then he looked at my backpack, which had barely anything in it. “Is that all you have?”
“Yes,” I said.
“Soon, you have to tell us about your family. You are one big mystery to me,” said Jatix, leading me up the stairs.
“It’s nothing interesting,” I said. “My mother died when I was sixteen, and my father raised me.”
“Why did he put you up for auction?”
“We were poor, and our house was going into foreclosure,” I said, my lines rehearsed at my father's insistence during the long car ride to the Omega Auction. The last thing he wanted was the law to come after him for omega mistreatment.
“I see,” he replied, walking down the hallway when we reached upstairs. “This is your room.”
I looked inside and gasped.
There was a bed. An actual alpha-sized bed sitting in the middle of the room. And on the other side of the room, there were curtains sectioning it off from the rest of the room in a round circle. My heart was pounding with anticipation as I pulled back the sheer curtains.
There was a pink circle mattress with pink blankets and sheets. It was a little omega nest. Complete with books in a pile next to it and candles.
“Is this…is this for me?” I asked. I was too scared to ask in case it wasn’t.
“Yes. Do you think any of us would be able to fit in there?” replied Jatix. “But yes, anytime you need to relax and be alone, this is yours.”
I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe that they were being so nice to me.
“Cool,” I said dismissively if they were all messing with me. Everything was happening too quickly, too fast.
“You also have your own bathroom in here, complete with a shower,” said Jatix, opening the bathroom door near the room's entrance. He looked slightly disappointed that I wasn’t gushing with joy.
Inside, I was flipping out with excitement, but I didn’t want to show it.
“Oh wow,” I said, walking into the bathroom. It was spacious and looked bleached inside and out. The toilet and sink were white, and the bathtub looked like it had never been touched. There were even little pink bathroom slippers sitting next to the door.
