“More sure than I’ve been about anything,” Logan explains, his stare intense.

Nash snuggles up closer. “This is everything we’ve wanted… an Omega, yes, but more specifically, you. Only you.”

“You crashed into our lives, and nothing will ever be the same, in the best possible way,” Axel adds, his usual playful tone stripped away to raw honesty. “And now? Now, I’m not sure any of us could survive letting you go.”

Tears blur my vision as I look between them. “It still feels surreal sometimes. That men like you would want?—”

“Don’t,” Logan cuts me off gently, cupping my face. “No words like that.”

“We’ll spend eternity showing you exactly how deserving you are,” Nash murmurs.

Axel’s fingers brush away a tear that’s escaped. “Of the world and so much more, baby.”

“I want this,” I whisper, my heart so full it might burst. “I want this so much, it scares me sometimes.”

“Good thing you’ve got three Alphas to keep you safe then, to show you the world, to care for our children,” Axel says with a tender smirk, lightening the moment.

My shoulders pull back. The conversation is moving super fast, but then I did just have sex with them for days with no protection. Yet, saying it out loud makes it real.

He chuckles and leans over to kiss me sweetly. “Don’t overthink it. For now, how about some swimming? Maybe a race?”

“Agreed,” Logan barks, and Nash rolls his shoulders.

I welcome the distraction and stare out toward the old fishing boat that rests on its side near the shoreline, maybe fifty yards away. The water between here and there stays relatively shallow, perfect for a swimming race.

“You think you can win?” Axel asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

“I was pretty good at school,” I say, unable to keep the competitive edge from my response.

“Oh, really?” Nash smirks, his eyes clear and bright without his glasses—they’d been wisely left up on the beach before we even got in the water, him insisting he can see, just not sharply. “Care to prove it?”

I can’t help but marvel at how this has become my life—three incredible men who adore me, who make me feel safe, loved, and cherished.

“Oh, and tomorrow,” Logan adds as I am getting into position. “We’re going for a drive to see our properties around the city and surrounding areas. You can pick your favorite for our main home.”

I blink at him, stunned. “Wait, really? I’m shocked! And excited because the two I’ve seen so far, I absolutely adore!” I pause for a moment, and they all watch me. “I’m still coming to terms with my new life, I guess, us four together.”

Logan arches a brow. “Do you not see how much each of us loves you? How we can’t be without you? How much we needyou?” His voice drops lower, more intense. “And don’t think we’ll ever let you leave us.”

I laugh, joy bubbling up from deep inside. “Come here, you,” I say, pulling him down for a kiss. Then I break away, moving to line up for our race. “Ready?”

They nod, positioning themselves beside me in the crystalline water.

Just before the final countdown Nash is giving, I call out, “I love you all!” Their stunned expressions give me the perfect opportunity to dive forward, cutting through the water.

As I swim, feeling their powerful strokes closing the distance behind me, I realize that sometimes, the best things in life come wrapped in chaos and confusion. Five days ago, I was running for my life. Now? Now I’m racing through sun-dappled waters with three men who would move heaven and earth to keep me safe, who look at me like I’m their entire world. And maybe that’s exactly what I am—their world, their heart, their home. Just as they’ve become mine.

The sleek black SUV purrs down suburban streets lined with perfectly manicured lawns and cookie-cutter houses. Nash handles the wheel with easy confidence while Logan studies something on his phone in the passenger seat. In the back, Axel’s warm hand rests on my thigh, his thumb tracing absent patterns that send shivers up my spine. I catch him staring—again—and he doesn’t even try to hide it, just gives me that crooked smile that has my heart skipping.

My mind drifts to the Nexus meeting and how surprisingly smooth it all went. Almost too smooth, really. One signature after another, and suddenly, I’m officially their Omega. No questions, no pushback. It should feel like victory, but it just reminds me of all the loose ends still dangling—particularly my friends. The thought of them still out there, maybe in trouble...

“We’re here,” Nash announces, pulling into a driveway that could belong to any middle-class family in America. Perfect camouflage for a safe house.

Before the car fully stops, I’m already unclicking my seatbelt.

Axel chuckles beside me. “Eager much?”

“It’s been too long,” I remind him, but my voice catches. Seeing Kai again after everything... my stomach is doing backflips.
