“Fuck off!” Lappen barks at me then turns and yells at his men, “Back in the fucking car!” He scrambles to his truck door. “You had better watch your back, Stan,” he growls the weak threat. “I’m coming for you.” He slams his door shut, then his truck engine roars to life.

I smile, watching as they all file back into their SUVs. A few of the alphas give me an interested look, and I know I’ll be hearing from them soon. Of course, I wouldn't place any of them inpositions of real power, but Rossi could use the extra manpower right now. As could my southern territories. There’s always room for an eager young alpha, desperate to prove himself.

Bear stays quiet at my side as Lappen backs up his truck. The fucker pops it in and out of gear, making the damn thing grind. The SUVs behind him drive off before he eventually turns around and speeds off too. The second all three vehicles hit the service road, Bear turns to me.

“That went well,” he says, walking back to the car. But I know all the things he’s not saying.

Lappen is right. I finally have something worth losing. Something precious and fragile that would destroy me and my pack if anything were to happen to him.

“Do you want to go by the warehouse?” Bear asks as he slips into the driver's seat.

“No.” I get in the car, then stare at the trees in the distance. My bond with Stefan is still firmly closed. My fear that he might get hurt is way too strong. I can’t open it and risk him feeling me. It would make him panic. “Let’s go home. I want to check on Stefan.”

He pops the car into reverse.

“And send Lappen a message.” I glare into the distance, where the alpha drove off. “Make it very clear his threats don’t mean shit to me.”

The secondI set foot in the house, I can tell something is off. The air just feels different.

“Sir!” Jessica’s eyes go wide when she appears around the staircase. “You’re home.” Her voice pitches high. “I would havehad the kitchens prepare you something to eat.” Her wide eyes flicker toward the stairs.

“Where’s Stefan?” I ask, watching her reaction carefully.

“In his room.” Her throat works as she swallows hard, then her voice drops to a whisper, “Ms. Ito and Lucy are with him.”

Bear frowns, cutting me a curious look. And I have to agree. Jessica is acting very weird.

“Is something wrong?” I pull my phone out of my pocket. I have two missed calls from Yuki but no text messages.

“Nothing is wrong.” Jessica quickly shakes her head, then she takes a few steps back. “I’ll let the kitchen know you and Mr. Cosner are home.” She inches toward the main hallway.

“Did Stefan eat?” Bear asks, and Jessica’s mouth pulls into a thin line.

“I didn’t want to interrupt them.” Her voice is barely a whisper, and my suspicions rise.

“Thank you, Jessica,” I say, moving to the staircase. “I’ll let you know when we’re ready to eat.”

The beta bows then rushes off.

Determined to know what’s happening, I slowly open my bond as I make my way to my bedroom. And the sensations that slam into me are wild. Stefan is filled with lust-fueled emotion. There’s an edge of nervousness deep within him, but the omega is mostly excited, both physically and emotionally.

I can hear Yuki’s breathy moans from down the hallway. Bear and I share a look, then I open my bedroom door.

Yuki is on her back in the center of my bed with Stefan’s head buried between her long legs. I stare at his perfect ass for a second, shocked at the amount of slick that glistens on his skin. Lucy lies next to them, her big tits on display as she watches my omega eat Yuki out.

Bear’s hand immediately moves to his cock, squeezing his already hard shaft. I want to do the same, but if I touch myself, I won’t be able to stop.

“Just like that!” Yuki moans, rolling her hips against Stefan’s face. “Don’t stop!” The she-alpha’s breath hitches and her body begins to shake. “Fuck!” she screams as she comes. Stefan doesn’t stop, continuing to eat Yuki to perfection. I’m proud of him. Making a she-alpha come isn’t always an easy feat.

“You did so good!” Lucy praises Stefan as he slowly lifts his head. Then she pushes forward and kisses him. I wish I could see his face. I bet his lips are wet with Yuki’s arousal. The she-alpha doesn’t produce much fluid, but she does when she comes.

Yuki lets out a breathy hum as she watches them kiss, then I see realization grip her. She turns to us, suddenly aware that she’s being watched.

I narrow my eyes at the she-alpha, pretending to be pissed. “Are you three having fun?”

Lucy lets out a frightened squeak as Stefan spins, looking at me with big, scared eyes. His hair is messy, his cheeks flushed, and his lips puffy. He looks so fucking sexy.

“I called you,” Yuki says, her chest still rising and falling, breathless. “Stefan went into heat.”
