My bed is doused in sun beams. Oh, I love this time of year when the angle of light is perfectly on my bed.

I’m grateful that last night played out the way that it did. I needed to dosomethingto feel a little less guilty about being a shit mate to these two.

Being at that dinner yesterday really showed me that I was just being plain stupid. Everyone was so happy and in love. I had been denying myself and my mates that for nothing.

But where do we go from here? How do we become like everyone else at the dinner?

“I’m not really sure what happens now.” I break the comfortable, languid silence.

“What do you mean?” Matilda asks, contentment lining her tone as she sighs in the sunlight, her golden coloring shining.

“I mean… I don’t really know what you’re supposed todowith a mate.”

“Well,” Aspis takes over. I scooch over to him and snuggle in so that I can feel his voice as he speaks. “We can spend our time together now, if you’d like that.”

“We’ll hopefully have sex properly soon. Aspis and I have waited to do that with you.” Matilda chimes in.

They have? I didn’t expect that, with how close they are with one another. I’m surprised by both of their restraint last night, especially.

“We would all move in together, when you’re ready.” Aspis continues, trying to veer us back off the sexual commentary. “We can get somewhere new, or maybe live here. I know both mine and Matilda’s places are too small for all three of us to live in.”

“I really like living here, and I wouldn’t mind some company.” I admit. I’m also in shock that Aspis doesn’t have some mega mansion. He must be worth a decent amount of money. I keep that observation to myself, time will tell all of that and it doesn’t matter anyway.

“Do you know about Alphas and Omegas? About going into heat?”

“Umm… no?” I answer truthfully. “I know that other people in the label are mated, obviously. But I haven’t been close with anyone who is. So when I say that I don’t know what to do with a mate, I truly mean that.”

“Shit, OK.” Matilda sounds a little worried. “We can explain all that.”

Aspis pulls me closer against him and I feel like I just admitted something wrong.

“Is that a bad thing?” I ask.

“No, princess.” Aspis kisses the top of my head. “It’s just worrying that you didn’t know because there are some things that could have happened that would have affected your safety. Things we stupidly assumed that you knew about.”

I sit upright at that. “My safety?”

“Let’s just start from the beginning…”

Aspis goes on to explain that he is an Alpha and that Matilda and I are Omegas. Basically, an Omega goes into ‘heat’, which leaves them very vulnerable and extremely horny.

The only thing that can break this ‘heat’ is knotting with your Alpha. Aspis’ dick will swell to lock us into place, but that happens regardless of heat. Then there are mating bites and sealing the bond…

It’s honestly a little too much information to take in.

I am happy that Matilda is also an Omega and will go into heat with me, most likely. At least we are in it together. Although, it does sound kind of fun.

By the time I am finished with my coffee we have moved onto other topics of conversation.

“I was so shocked by yourroom!” Matilda almost squeals, jumping onto my lap.

I can’t help but giggle, pulling her onto me properly.

“That was the whole point.” Aspis chimes in, seeing right through me as he seems to be able to do often.

“I want to hear more about your listening kink thing.” Matilda asks, whispering in my ear.

“You little tease!” I chuckle, settling back against Aspis. “It’s calledauralism. I’m basically just really turned on by certain sounds and voices. When I’m masturbating on my own I usually listen to porn rather than watching it…”
