Page 11 of Raging Heat

That makes me smile, remembering how she offered to mark me to let me know I’ll always be hers.I want to always be hers so much.

“I want to be with her when she’s in heat,” I mumble into Caleb’s chest.

The thought scares me, because the last time I went into heat wasn’t a very good experience.

But with Vera… I want everything.I want to be with her every moment of every day, whatever she’s going through.I want to be with her.

Caleb lets out a soft laugh.“I know that a bond between two Omegas is created differently than between an Omega and an Alpha or Beta.But I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about.I’ve got a feeling she’s claimed you as hers full and well by now.”

I look up at him and he looks so happy, his gaze soft and filled with love.It makes my chest easier and I nod, my cheeks heating up fast.“I think you’re right.She’s pretty good at letting people know what she wants and doesn’t want.”

That makes Caleb laugh more as he keeps his arm around my shoulders and we walk to the office.“It only took her a few hours to make me hers the day I met her.And then we had to wait three weeks before she went into heat so I could mark her.Those were the longest fucking weeks of my life.”

I laugh.Yes, that sounds like her.

I look out to the garden and my heart feels even lighter as I watch Vera and Jorge.

Vera is sitting in the grass, her dress all spread around her —which I can’t imagine can be very comfortable without undies— and she’s animatedly talking about something, her arms moving wildly, making her boobs bounce and her long hair fly all around her.

Jorge is on his back in the grass, his head turned her way, his arms comfortably draped over himself as he’s listening to her every word, like she’s got him under a spell.

No matter how much I’ve been trying to keep Jorge away for years, I’ve always known that it would fail at some point.

And that point seems to be now, with Caleb and Vera in my life, with them at my side.

We’re a pack, all of us.

We’re Vera’s pack.

Vera

The four ofus are having lunch in the garden, almost like a picnic.I’m nestled between Mathew and Jorge, who are feeding me pieces of sandwiches, fruits and veggies, while Caleb sits across from us, cutting the food into perfectly bite-sized pieces.

This is heaven.

The weather and the location are great.No notes.

It’s still early enough in the summer that the heat isn’t too overwhelming at this time of the day even when it’s really sunny, and the slight breeze helps.

The garden on this side of the house is surrounded by trees and shrubs on three sides and the house on the fourth side, so it’s pretty secluded and you can easily sit in the shadows for most of the day.

Flowers and colourful plants line the edges of the lawn, making everything look bright and happy, and their delicate scents form a perfect summer fragrance.

The company is great too.

Mathew and Jorge are apparently competing to see who can feed me the most.I don’t have to do a thing myself, just sit there and try to properly swallow before accepting the next bite.

And Caleb is having the time of his life watching the two compete, while making sure that the bites they feed me aren’t too big.

Every time I look at Caleb, my heart skips and I can’t help grinning.My big Alpha, looking so serious as he cuts a cheese and cucumber sandwich into pieces that are exactly right for me, because he’s done this hundreds of times since we met.

My lovingly doting Alpha, always taking care of me, always looking out for me.

Never before have I been spoiled this much by such handsome men.I’m the luckiest girl alive.

I tug on Mathew’s shoulder and give him a kiss on his cheek before he can feed me another bite, then I do the same with Jorge, before climbing from between them.
