“Is something wrong with the Palace?” Rook asked. “Do you want us to buy a house elsewhere?”
Rook has always insisted that we need to live in the Palace for his political career, so this was shocking.
“Buyyourselfa house elsewhere,” Piper said, opening the door. “Be sure to make it big enough for all the women you’ll need to bone.”
“I have no interest in other women,” I called out to her as we followed our Omega hastily inside. And it’s shockingly true. What I want is to sleep next to Piper, scent her delicious body all night long, find out what she loves.
I know I can fuck her better than that stupid Beta. But right now all I feel is incredibly jealous of him.
Even though I’m used to women, used to fucking them and giving them pleasure, I can’t stop the way my cock hardens at the sight of my Omega walking in front of me, her confident, seductive stride, the way her long legs move, the way her slim waist curves out into perfectly-shaped hips and ass.
When I see some of the Palace staff staring open-mouthed at me, I look down and hastily put my hands over my crotch.
I’m sporting a full fucking boner, my heavy cock bobbing along totally to attention.
Piper doesn’t even look back.
Her rooms are luckily clean and fresh after the staff has been in, and she enters them still without another backwards glance.
I looked around anxiously. Big sitting room, large kitchen, big dining area, two bathrooms, the most expensive furniture and furnishings, a luxury view of downtown. But is it enough?
“Is your nest comfortable?” I asked eagerly. “Are your quarters to your liking?”
She shrugged.
“Because you can have any other room you want,” I said, and I didn’t even recognize the unfamiliar tone in my voice, the desperation breaking through like magma flowing from a crack.
“They’re comfortable enough to live there while I find new Alphas,” she shrugged.
“New Alphas?” I cried, feeling sweat break out on my neck and begin to trickle down my back.
“You cannot break the mating bond now,” Rook said harshly, crossing his arms over his chest. “It is permanent and life-long.”
“We’ll see,” Piper said with unconcern, stretching the long elegant lines of her arms above her head. “I bet I’ll be able to break it once I find some Alphas who will be loyal,”
“Wewill be loyal!” I said, wanting so badly to touch her, but I know that wouldn’t be appreciated. “We screwed up but we will be loyal.”
Piper scoffed. “All you care about is knotting me. You don’t really give a shit about me.”
“That’s not true,” Rook said, his voice low and gravelly. “We fucked up but we want a chance to make it better. It’s my fault as First Alpha for not facilitating our bonding properly. Let’s just agree to start getting to know each other now.”
“No,” Piper said, and her eyes were on Erain. “I fucking dare you to say you care about me as a person and like my personality.”
And goddamn Erain who is supposed to be so intellectual and good with words, stumbled over everything and said, “It was just a culture shock at first. You know, how you were dressed and stuff. We want you now!”
I saw Piper’s face harden.
“Fuck you, Erain.”
“I didn’t mean it like that. Shit, I’m sorry, Piper. No, please, don’t go away.”
His face twisted with pain and he grabbed at her arm.
“Why shouldn’t I go away?”
“It—hurts when you go. It gives me pain to be away from my fated mate. I know you are now. I don’t care what you’re wearing.”
Idiot
