I grin, leaning over him and pressing my forehead against his rippling back. “I love you,” I whisper, my voice nearly getting washed away with the sound of the shower.

He lets out a content sigh. “I love you too.”

I have no idea what's coming next. But what I do know is I'm going to do everything in my power to keep my Omega safe. And as long as I have my pack at my side, we’re going to be okay.

We didn’t wait half of our lives for our dreams to come true, just to turn our backs on it instead of fighting to keep it.

She’s worth starting a war over. They all are.

Chapter 27

“Sweets, what are you doing?” I hear Nolan’s groggy voice ask from behind me.

“Cleaning,” I tell him as I gather everything off the counter and throw it in the trash. “There’s so much to do. Everyone will be here tomorrow, and this house is a mess.”

“Hey, woah.” Nolan comes up and grabs my shoulders. “Sweets, you need to take a moment and breathe. You’re spiraling right now.”

I blink at him rapidly, my heart pounding in my chest. “I am, aren't I?” I murmur, my shoulders slumping.

“Just a little,” he chuckles. “You tossed Thomas’s wallet and the keys to Aiden’s truck in the trash.”

My eyes widen as they snap over to the trash can. “Shit,” I groan, taking a step towards it to fish them out, but Nolan stops me.

“I got it.” He guides me over to the dining room chair and helps me sit down. “Just take a moment to breathe, then we will make a game plan, okay?”

“Okay,” I sigh heavily.

The girls are getting in later today, and I’m so damn excited to see them. It’s been too long. Texting and video calls just aren’t cutting it anymore.

When I woke up this morning, I decided to let the guys sleep and started cleaning the house. I started with the bathroom. I needed something to keep my mind busy because as soon as I opened my eyes, everything that happened with Sylvia came rushing back.

I can’t believe I pulled a gun on her. I’ve never done that in my life! I’ve never had to. Being within Calling Wood, I was always with one of the girls for the most part, but even when I wasn’t, I never felt unsafe.

But I was so damn afraid she wasn’t going to let me leave. The way she was talking and how she was following me made me panic.

“There’s still so much left to do,” I groan, putting my forehead on the table.

“And we’re going to get it all done. We have today and the weekend. With the three of us, everything will be taken care of.”

“Three?” I frown as I lift my head to look at him.

“Yes, me and the guys.”

“What about me?” I raise a brow.

“You're going to sit your pretty little Omega butt down and let your men take care of you.” He grins, placing the wallet, watch, and a few other things I threw in the trash amongst my cleaning frenzy on the table.

“You don’t have to,” I tell him, but the idea of them setting up for the gender reveal has my heart warming.

“We don’t, but we want to. And yes, we know you’re perfectly capable of setting everything up, but with the day you had yesterday and how eventful we’re expecting tomorrow to be, we want you to take the day to relax. And before you know it, we’re going to be at the airport picking up the girls.”

That has me grinning. “I’m so excited. I miss them so much.”

“I know, Sweets.” He comes over and kisses my forehead. I sigh, leaning into his touch.

“Ugh, I just remembered I need to go back to the store and get the decorations. They probably put everything back. Damn it,” I sigh, scrubbing my face with my hands. I feel like a hot mess, all sweaty and sticky from running around the house.
