She just chuckles as she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.

I didn’t realize that our Little Omega was a little minx too. And dressed in my shirt, she is like my own little snack.

No, she is more than that. She is the whole fucking feast. Catered just for me.

Chapter Fourteen

It feels strange walking into Ridgeview with my Alphas by my side. In high school, I was a loner. Something I carried on with me into university. Where I would have normally been walking through these halls completely invisible, I feel like every single eye is on us now. It feels unsettling having this kind of attention on me. Even more than that, the death stares aimed my way from unmated jealous Omegas feel even worse. There is no form of girl-code to some of them. They only care about themselves and if they need to fuck over a fellow Omega, they will in order to get what they want.

And what they want right now is my Alphas.

I try to reassure myself over and over again that they are mine and they aren’t interested in them but, after years of being told how worthless I am, becoming to believe what I was being told then my life doing a complete one-eighty, I feel more unsure and anxious than I have ever felt.

I bring my hand up to my neck, running my fingers over the raised mate mark on my neck. The touch eases something inside of me. Thatalong with Jax’s hand in mine, I try to level out my breathing that had begun to spike.

We come to a fork in the hallway and stop. I turn, raising a questioning eyebrow to Jax. “We’ve got to head this way to our Home Room,” he sighs, nodding to the crowded hallway. He chews his lip as he looks down at me. I see the indecisiveness in his face, like he doesn’t want to be apart from me. I step up into him, wrapping my arms around his middle. Instantly, he returns the favour, holding me as tight as he can.

“We will only be apart for a little bit right? After Home Room, it's only one class and then we all have Gym together?”

I end it as though it's a question but I already know the answer. It seems Theo was incredibly productive during his phone call to the school yesterday, enough that we are all in the same classes, apart from Home Room and Omega Studies. Something that they each grumbled about. Although the thought of big three Alphas sitting in on a class where we learn how to be the ‘perfect Omega’ is comical to me. I kind of want to see it, just for entertainment purposes, obviously.

Jax bends down, kissing the top of my head before pulling back. It's clear he is reluctant to do so by the disgruntled look on his face.

“If you have any problems at all, you message us, okay? Promise me. Even if it might be nothing.”

The Alpha in front of me is far from the snuggly one from bed this morning. In front of

me is the Alpha that means business. The one that wants nothing but his Omega to be protected. I preen under his care. It shouldn’t make me feel like I am floating on cloud nine, but it does. I know that this kind of treatment is normal, but I’ve never had it before. My fatheronly saw me as a cash grab. Or a nuisance. I guess it just depended on his mood that day.

I nod, unable to react any other way.

His eyes lighten at my submission to him.

“Good girl,” he praises, the words instantly weakening my knees.

Ledger replaces Jax, leaning down and capturing my lips in his. The kiss begins slowly but quickly turns heated.

It seems to be the way with him. After our moment in the store yesterday and judging by the feeling of his body against mine, I’d say that Ledger has a bit of a thing for exhibitionism. My cheeks redden as his hands start slowly making their way down my body before he grips my ass in his hands.

A groan escapes him and I break away before he can continue to get any more ideas. A hand grips mine and I am ripped away by Theo, “Come on, love, before those two get anymore ideas.”

I chuckle before eventually catching up to Theo’s pace. His hand remains firm in mine as we make our way down the hall before he opens the class door to let me walk in first. I smile up at him as I walk past him but instantly come to a stop as I find every single eye on us.

Instantly, I begin shrinking in on myself. It was alright when I had my three Alphas surrounding me, but now, I feel raw. Like I am cut open for everyone to see. Theo slides his hands around my waist, gently pushing my back to get me to walk. He pulls out a chair at the back of the classroom. Instead of guiding me into it, he takes a seat and pulls me into his lap.

I can’t help but curl myself up into his chest, seeking out his warmth and comfort I know that I will find.

I didn’t expect everyone to be like this.

What have they been saying since we left abruptly yesterday?

Anxiety fills me as my thoughts run a hundred miles an hour.

Theo begins rubbing my back and whispering in my ear in an attempt to calm me. “It's okay, love. They are just nosy. They just want to know why we have claimed you. You have nothing to be worried about.”

I nod into Theo’s chest as I try to embrace his words. Eventually, his soothing calms me down enough that I am able to extract myself from him slightly.

“There you are,” he smiles. The look so comfortable on his face, it's hard to imagine him ever feeling any other way.
