“Mickey wants a taste too.”

Oh, we were corrupting this Omega and I couldn’t deny that I loved it.

My lips met my Beta’s, our tongues sliding over each other so he could taste the Omega that was flooding my mouth. Clover between us as his tongue swirls around mine, sucking on it to get as much of Clover’s essence from me as possible.

It was hot as fuck.

“Now that we all are hard as steel. We need to say goodbye until tonight, Clover. We need to head back to get ready for the game. You’re wearing my number, right?” Griffin asks her with all that raw hope in his voice.

She had worn Mickey’s last night and it was his turn for this game.

I was thankful I was the only Otter right now so I didn’t have to worry about whose number she was wearing. Next year, when all four of Mather’s pack were on the ice we’d have to do the rotations. For now I could be selfish with my branding.

“Yes and I’ll wear it tonight too if you score for me.” Vaughn presses his hand to Clover’s head, not seeming to care about the close proximity we’re all in.

He frowns slightly, rubbing over her brow.

“You’re feeling okay, right? You’re a little warm, but you’ve been skating and just came. You’d tell us if you were feeling foggy?”

Ah, Vaughn is worried she is falling into her actual heat. It could hit early. Which was why my parents had stuck around. They were also dealing with the drama that seemed to be surrounding our pack.

“I’m not in heat, Vaughn. I just think that maybe tonight we should take that extra step. I don’t want to lose my virginity during my heat. I want to remember it all. I want to make sure that it matters to me and isn’t just a physical Omega moment.”

Holy shit.

We’re all still. It’s been something we talked about a lot. We’re all been sharing moments with our Omega, but actual sex hasn’t happened yet.

We also knew it would be McKinley actually taking her virginity since he couldn’t knot her. The rest of us were at risk of falling into Alpha patterns, but Mick could be level headed.

Plus we all trusted him.

“You know, now I’m going to be hard all night.” Griffin broke some of the tension, making us all breathe out. “And this isn’t the first time you’ve made me hard in a cup. It’s not comfortable, Omega. You’re going to have to kiss it better.”

“Good. I’ll be waiting for you after the game.” She replies seriously and we all gulp at the way she is looking at us..

This was really going to happen.

She was ready. But were we?

CHAPTER 38

CLOVER

After ice skating, Apollo takes me out to lunch at a small Chinese food restaurant. He says since it’s an off day he can eat a little bit bad.

I had never had Chinese food before and he had gotten so excited that he ordered way too much, insisting he get to feed me bites of different things. After Vaughn explained how Alpha’s like to care for their Omega it made it easier for me to accept moments like this. I enjoy having Apollo feed me and don’t question if he enjoys it too.

We walk around downtown after eating, enjoying the brisk October weather as we stroll. His hand is holding mind and our arms are flush as we move together. His strides are shorter so that he doesn’t drag me besides him. Apollo walks closer to the street, always intent on keeping me safe.

I feel safe like this, cared for in a way that I haven’t felt before.

There is a calmness when I’m with Apollo. I know that he will watch over me and be in a safe space. I appreciate the way he makes me feel steady.

“Halloween is coming up. Do you want to get dressed up?” Apollo rubs his thumb over my knuckles as we walk.

I think about his question. I never really dressed up for Halloween before. Halloween wasn’t celebrated where I’m from and it was considered bad to dress up in costumes. It wasn’t something frivolous that Beta’s wasted their time on. Good church folks didn’t do devil holidays.

Part of me wants to talk about that. How it’s not something that was allowed. Another part of me wonders if he is trying to see if I’m a good girl or if I’m part of the bad crowd.
