Page 53 of Knot So Broken

“Are you going to come get ready?” he asks, quirking his eyebrow. There is a hint of a smile on his lips that peeks through the stubble on his chin; I know that I was caught ogling his chiselled chest. I mean how could I not? It was right there for my viewing. He reaches a hand up for me to take.

Putting my hand in his, I discard my wandering thoughts as I let him lead me to my bedroom where he leaves me with a sweet kiss on the cheek and tells me to make sure that I am ready in twenty minutes.

I rush into the room, throwing the clothes that I am still wearing from yesterday into the hamper. In a way, I wish my Alphas had taken me out of my jeans and at least left me in a tee but I am also thankful that they didn’t; I’m sure not wanting to make me feel uncomfortable if I was to wake up with clothes missing.

Standing under the rainfall shower head, I take a moment to let the water rush over my head in the hopes that it will continue to help me calm myself. Jax, Theo and Ledger's words were all reassuring but I can still feel a spark of anxiety in my chest that just won’t budge. It still hasn't, no matter how many times they have tried to set my mind at ease.

I grab the shampoo and conditioner that has been left in my shower. The contents smell delicious and I know the sweet smell is going tocompliment my natural Omega scent, giving it bit more of a sweeter edge to the musk.

Turning off the shower, I quickly dry myself with the cozy towels provided. I can’t stop myself from snuggling into them. I’ve never been granted something so fluffy to dry myself off with.

Walking into the walk in wardrobe, I instantly feel overwhelmed at all of the choices I have. I knew we got a lot the other day but I didn’t think there was this much. The guys thought of everything, right down to scandalous pieces of lace that have me blushing just looking at them in the drawer. I find a simple black sundress and grab myself a set of matching black bra and panties.

Once I am dressed, I stand in the bathroom mirror debating on what to do with my hair and makeup. I eventually decide on blow-drying my hair and leaving it natural. I do the same with my makeup, only applying mascara and some lip gloss.

As I walk back into my bedroom, I find Jax waiting for me. Without any kind of subtlety, he looks me up and down, taking in my outfit. His dark eyes heat as they return to mine.

“Fucking perfection.”

His voice is no higher than a whisper but it didn’t have to be. I heard him loud and clear, the words sending butterflies through my stomach nonetheless.

In an attempt to hide my blush from him, I rush back over towards the wardrobe and grab a pair of converse.

Walking back over to where Jax is standing against my bed, I sit down on the end. What

I don’t expect Jax to take the shoes from me and kneel on the ground. Grabbing my foot, he places a gentle kiss on the top of itbefore gently sliding it into the shoe. I don’t say a word as I watch him tie the laces before repeating the steps on the other foot, kiss included.

He remains kneeling in front of me once he is done. His hands slowly begin to rub up and down my legs as he looks up at me.

It’s strange to see such a large man on his knees like this doing such a menial task for his Omega.

“Are you ready?”

His voice is still gentle which helps put me at ease. Something I know I need desperately right now.

I nod as I let go of a breath, “I think so. I think I just need to know. To put myself out of my misery once and for all.”

Jax gives me a stern look which shocks me.

“You understand that it doesn’t matter to us what the results come back as today right? Each of us just wants you to be healthy. As long as that's what those results say, we are content with everything else.”

I nod but I still don’t feel satisfied. I know that they don’t care but I do. I want to provide them with children that are their own. Even though I have no doubt that each of us would absolutely love a child if we were to adopt, a part of me still feels like it is a failure if I can’t provide that for them.

He must see the war inside my head and know that no matter what he says, he won't be able to change my mind.

“Come on, Angel, let's go get some answers.”

We pull up in front of a townhouse in a quiet suburb near the centre of Vadena. I watch as a pack plays with their children out the front of their house. Another elderly couple sits out on their porch, taking in the neighbourhood.

The last thing I would expect to find here is a doctor's office. Theo, Jax and Ledger were pretty cagey about why we were going to this particular doctor but I decided just to trust them, and hope that they won’t lead me astray.

We all get out of the car and as a group walk up to the front door. Theo knocks a few times, surprising me when a man not that much older than us opens the door.

“Theo! Hey man, how are you!” He turns his head and sees Jax and Ledger. He greets them as well with a bro-hug and smiling face. Turning towards me, his eyes blow wide as he looks at my three Alphas, a cocky look on his face.

“So, you guys are finally tied down then. Took you long enough.”

He reaches out a hand towards me that I hesitantly shake, “You must be, Kennedy. I’m Doctor Young but you can just call me Maddox.”
