An Omega is possessive of the people in their nest.

Two Omegas, it turns out, are doubly so.

I kiss River, deeply and thoroughly.

He melts.

I want to kiss the sadness out of my gentle Beta.

When I draw back, I rub my cheek against River’s, breathing in his warm, citrus scent like it’s life. “You’ve never beenonlyanything, Riv. You’reeverything. The heart of this pack. You’ve brought the joy and sunshine into Fer’s life and mine for years. Every day, we’ve looked forward to seeing you. You’ve been the one bright spot that we’ve clung to. But you were our brother’s best friend, tutor, and his ward. Our love was forbidden. I wasterrified of getting you into trouble. But I still knew that I was your Omega from the moment that I met you.”

River takes a deep breath, before his shoulders finally relax under Laurent’s clever, massaging fingers.

He submits to his two Omegas, at the same time that his eyes crease at the edges. “L’anima gemella, I knew that you were mine in my soul.”

“Do I get a kiss?” Laurent lets go of River’s shoulders, hovering over River looking hopeful.

“Please...” River sighs.

“Begging already? Pace yourself.” Laurent kisses River tentatively.

River raises his hands to cradle Laurent’s face and draw him into a deeper kiss, encouraging him.

Laurent moans.

But then, River is an amazing kisser.

Also, an amazing tutor.

Yet these two men are both virgins and exploring things together.

They can support each other in their first experiences. I glow at the idea that I can be the one to direct them.

Finally, when they break apart, they’re both panting.

And equally hard in their pants.

River continues to cradle Laurent’s face like he never wants to let go.

“You don’t know me from before I was brought to the Underworld.” Laurent nips at River’s lower lip, making sure that he has his full attention. “But the ballet academy was filled with Betas. They were astounding. So was my Beta best friend who taught me to dance. I have never seen Betas asonlyanything: servants or Companions.You’re my Beta. Harley and Fer’s Beta soulmate.”

At last, River releases Laurent. “I’m nothing to Harbinger.”

“Don’t you remember how he stood up for you in the tunnels?” I ask. “He’s clearly interested in you. What do you think about him?”

River’s eyes twinkle, before he says in a breathy voice, “Knot me now, Daddy.”

Then he laughs brightly at Laurent’s haughty, shocked expression, before attempting to scramble away.

Bad luck, naughty Beta.You’re in the nest of a cage fighter Omega.

I smirk, grabbing River’s ankle and yanking him back.

River mock yells, as Laurent sits on his chest and glares down at him.

“I’ve hunted a Beta,” I declare. “What should we do with him?”

River is attempting to look scared, but his pupils are dilated.
