“Is my sister safe with him?” I immediately ask. “She went into heat and is at his house now. I shouldn’t stick my nose into things, but?—”
“She’s your sister. Of course you should stick your nose into things,” he grunts. “It’s no secret that Stewart and I don’t get along. I think he’s an asscrack dipped in acid without a filter. He’s a fantastic doctor, but any kind of interaction outside of patient care is messy and often insensitive. Outside of that, he’s not dangerous. I also highly doubt that he’ll be doing much talking with your sister.”
“You can still fuck up a heat without speaking,” Felix chimes in. “Is it possible that he’ll be insensitive during her heat?”
“I don’t know,”Adrain says. “Chop his knot off if he is? Somehow I’m not surprised that your pack is invested in this, Hollis. Nova is going to have a lot of guard dogs to contend with. I don’t envy her scent matches in the least. In reality, as long as he doesn’t open his mouth, he’s fine. The nurses sing his praises about how considerate he is. However, he pissed off thescheduler for the ER department, and he’s working the worst shifts now.”
“I’m not the slightest bit sorry for him. Stupid is as stupid does,” I say. “I very much hope that he behaves and is good to her or I’ll have to break my rule about only drawing to kill.”
“I bet it’ll be hell to be your in-law,”Adrain chuckles. “I’m sure he’ll shit his pants if you pay him a visit. While there’s often a mafia presence when I’m working, he’s still getting used to how scary it can be to have patients who would rather stab first and ask questions later when hurt.”
“Yuck. I hate when alphas shit themselves in my presence,” I tease Adrain. “That’s not my kink, Adrain.”
Malcolm sounds like he’s choking, and I can feel mirth through the bond. Smirking, I wink at Brice who shakes his head.
You’re terrible, he purrs in my mind.
Spank me, Daddy.
My pack looks pained, and I wince. I still suck at sending thoughts to just one of them. The learning curve is apparently steeper than anyone bothers to tell you.
“Keep your kinks to yourself, Hollis,”Adrain grunts. “I don’t need nightmares, thank you. Did you at least fill the script for pain meds?”
“I always fill the script, Adrain. I just don’t always take them. I have this running hypothesis currently,” I explain. “I may need to take the medication if Nova wants to come back and not feel my pain. When Emilia’s guys ambushed me, I was under heavy medication. I’m not sure if that’s why Nova didn’t feel my pain then or not.”
“So you’ll only take the meds on the off chance that it’ll keep her from hurting?”Adrain asks. At my grunt of agreement, he sighs. “That’s either the most selfless thing in the world or the dumbest. I’ll get back to you when the jury comes in.”
“Play nice,” Brice growls.
“Yes, Daddy,” Adrain says before coughing and hanging up.
“Well then,” I giggle. “We learned a lot today, didn’t we?”
“We did,” Malcolm murmurs. “I think we all deserve a nap though, baby, don’t you think?”
Knowing that they’ve been up worrying about me, I nod.
“I’ll bring your phone with us,” Brice promises as Malcolm picks me up.
Walking on broken toes sucks. I will gratefully let them carry me anywhere they want as long as I don’t have to do that.
As Malcolm walks me to bed, I hope that my sister can find this kind of love with her scent matches. Unfortunately, it may be a rough ride because as much as I adore my best guy friends, they’re also stubborn shits.
TYDE
I’ve done everything I can think of to avoid sex with Nova. Caleb, Lars, and I seem to have come to some type of unspoken agreement and we’ve fed her our cocks, given her as many orgasms as possible, and fisted her pretty pussy so much that she often comes the moment one of us begins to push our fist inside of her.
Caleb and Lars have gently kept her from biting them, and I have to say that their control has been really good around her. I hate that we have to hold back, but it’s not fair to her. I don’t want her to be unhappy about her lack of choices, and she’s already bonded to me from when she bit my dick.
She’s sprawled over my body, whimpering in her sleep while I dig my fingers gently into her scalp to help her relax. Her heathasn’t broken yet and it’s been two days of orgasms and keeping this odd balance.
“Tyde,” she whispers in her sleep, breaking my fucking heart.
“I’m here,” I promise, blinking rapidly as heat expands behind my eyes. I’m sure Caleb and Lars would laugh at me for my emotions, but I’m obsessed with my omega.
“She’s really attached to you,” Caleb observes, watching us. Whenever Nova isn’t awake, Caleb and Lars find reasons to leave the nest. I don’t understand it.
“Do you want Nova?” I ask bluntly. I know I said that I was awkward, and I am, but I really want to know. “You aren’t acting like you do.”
