Page 85 of Omega for the Pack

“Yes, of course,” said Shawn, looking at me with wide eyes as he carried the pot of spaghetti to the table. “Were you never allowed to go into the kitchen before?”

“My dad said it would bring out my nesting instincts,” I said quickly, like it was common sense. But apparently, it wasn’t.

“Did he allow you to have a bed?” asked Jatix slowly. There was pressure in his voice, tension, and anger. I knew it was weird the way I lived. But I thought most omegas had to live the way I did.

“Well, not exactly. But I had a mattress, though,” I said.

“Blankets?” Darius pressed, cracking his knuckles.

Fear spiked through me at the intensity of the men around me. My omega nature wanted them to be calm. Naturally, an omega’s job was to please her alpha.

“No,” I whispered, staring hard at the vase of roses on the table. I wanted to look anywhere but at them. Without the pills, I could smell my orange scent permeating the room, getting stronger with my shame.

“There’s no reason for you to feel ashamed of anything,” said Shawn, sensing my energy. He pulled a chair out. “Come and sit.”

Grateful to do something than stand there in front of their watchful gazes, I sat between Silus and Darius at the dining table. The last time I had a proper meal with a family was a long time ago. The tomatoes and oregano wafted in the air as Jatix poured a heapful of pasta on a plate for me. I grabbed a fork and began digging in.

It tasted like heaven itself. The first bite melted on my tongue.

“Wow, Shawn, you can cook. Very tasty,” I said around a mouthful of pasta. Shawn was watching me with satisfaction in his eyes, barely touching his plate. It made me feel a little self-conscious but also caused tendrils of arousal to rise in me.

“Thanks, Keera. I enjoy cooking,” said Shawn. “It’s my profession during the day, actually. Doesn’t do well for my belly, though.” He tapped his belly, and I smiled.

“And it doesn’t help me either,” said Silus. “This pasta is going to slow me down during my workout later. Why couldn’t you make something healthy?”

“Why don’t you fucking cook then?” said Shawn, waving his fork around threateningly. I couldn’t help but smile at the twins’ exchange. They were twins but so different in every way. While Silus liked to stay in shape and covered in tattoos- Shawn was more domestic and lighthearted. Silus was intense every time he looked my way, and when I met his gaze, I was always the first to look away. I didn’t understand Silus yet and had no idea what went through his mind. Jatix was more transparent. His dark, lustful gazes assured me that he wanted me in every way, causing my thighs to clench in arousal.

The dining room was quiet as everyone slurped up the pasta, devouring the food. The clink of forks upon plates was the only sound apart from all the chewing and grunting of the males.

Jatix cleared his throat and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Tomorrow will be the introduction ceremony,” he announced, gently setting his napkin down.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“We are going to explore every crevice of your body,” he said like it was something normal that they did all the time. “Tonight will be your last night sleeping alone. After tonight you’ll always have one of us around you.”

“Umm, are you joking?” I asked.

“No, that’s what our pack does,” he said. “We are going to get acquainted with you. Before we impregnate you.”

“Get me pregnant?!”

“Yes, sweetheart. That’s how pack life works,” said Jatix. “You’re going to carry multiple babies for our pack, and our pack will be powerful.”

I took another bite of pasta to avoid replying to that.How would he feel knowing my fertility could be messed up?Ibegged my dad not to make me take so many heat suppressant pills.

“My mother would be happy once we tell her we’re in a long-term relationship with an omega,” said Silus.

“Have you ever been in a long-term relationship?” I asked curiously.

“Na, we went through females like candy,” said Silus.

“What?” I said, blinking. Was I just another one of thosefemalesto them?

“Yes, Jatix never looked for anything serious,” explained Silus. “Commitment issues, that one.”

“It’s not like that,” said Jatix, his eyes flashing at Silus.
