“So good,” I purr out contentedly, practically rubbing myself against the alpha, wanting the scents of him and Van together all over me while also marking him with my own.

While I distract him, I reach for Van and jerk him out from behind Lake and over to me. Pulling away from Lake, I shove my nose in Van’s throat next, sighing in relief as I rub against him as well.

I mark both alphas with my scent, and boy, is it strong with the way they have me perfuming. Neither of them stops me, but I can feel them looking at each other over my head, confused yet aroused at the same time.

Before I know it, I’m on the bed cuddled between them both.

They looked at me in wonder after that and we spent the night getting to know each other. With our clothes on.

Obviously, I don’t tell Link about all of that. You know, the part about me catching Van and Lake fucking, but I tell him about everything else. He smiles when I tell him how after that, the two alphas stuck to me like glue.

Ollie and Rule were skeptical at first, but Lake did apologize. To me and to them.

It was completely unnecessary, but appreciated, nonetheless.

“You accepted them, no questions asked,” Link says, slightly awed.

I shrug, chewing on my milkshake straw. Linda must have brought our food out while I was lost in the memory and repeating it to Link.

“I mean… yeah, why wouldn’t I have?”

“It’s just most omegas don’t share their alphas. And to share one with another of her alphas? It’s interesting.”

“Well, like I told them, I’m not most omegas. I’m just me. Who am I to tell them they can’t love each other when I get to love four of them? Ya know?”

“Progressive of you.”

“Yes, well, time moves forward, and the world is ever changing. Get with the times or stay behind and be miserable. There’s nothing wrong with two men or two women loving each other. Alphas, betas, omegas. We’re all the same. We all bleed red. Yeah, we’ve got some different quirks that set us apart, but if you love that person, who cares what designation they are or whether they’re the same gender? Love is love in the end. It’s beautiful in any combination.”

“I like the way you see it,” Link says, almost whispering it.

We spend the rest of our dinner telling each other memories about Lake, and even of Van. He tells me about them when they were younger, and I tell him about who they grew up to be.

Honestly, it’s nice to learn something about their past. It’s something I’ve wished they had told me about on their own for years now.

“Hey, Ramsey?” Lake calls out before I get in my car later that evening.

I turn and look at him, raising a brow. “Yeah?”

“Thanks for loving him. I’m really glad he had you and Van there with him these last few years. He was the luckiest of alphas for that alone.”

My throat gets tight, but I nod and say, “It was never a choice. They were always meant to be mine.”

I get in my car, shut the door, and back out. I can feel Link’s eyes on me the entire time until the diner is completely out of my view.

RAMSEY

Mr. Roberts— the lawyer who was in charge of arranging whatever minor details the guys set him up for in the event of their deathswithout me knowing —has been calling me incessantly since they died, and I’ve done my best to avoid him.

I finally stopped forwarding his calls and answered last week. Now I’m sitting in his office, anxiously waiting for him to tell me what this is all about.My mind is a cacophony of questions swirling round and round.

The image of a twister pops into my head, words amid the raging storm, spinning at such high speeds, they can barely be seen.

What did my alphas ask this man to do for them? What did they plan for should they die? And why didn’t they include me?

It’s not like they could have possibly expected to all die at once.
