But the question was answered quickly enough when I found one tucked into my couch nest near the remote. I hurried over as quickly as a pregnant lady could and pulled open the pretty lavender envelope.
Maple girl,
You know every time you watch a TV show and you get really into it, your nose scrunches up in the most adorable way? You are such a bright and vibrant person, and in the short amount of time you've been in our lives, you've improved them exponentially. I love you so much more than I ever thought I could love anyone. You are smoking hot, but you've got a sweet, killer personality to match. I've considered running headlong into a wall to see if I'm actually fast asleep and this is all just a dream, but thankfully, you are very real.

Tears stung my eyes. I was both so incredibly flattered and laughing to myself because Jasper was so adorable. He was right, though. This sometimes felt like a dream, and I was very glad that it wasn’t.
Scanning over the penthouse, I tried to spot the last letter, the one that would be from Devin, my sweet grump. Over toward the kitchen, on the small dining table, was a mint green envelope positioned so that it lay against the decorative bowl of fruit I’d put there. I scampered over and yanked it open.
Mable Maple Garnett,
We are so unbelievably lucky. Firstly, the fact that the sweet omega we were talking to online turnedout to be you, and not an old smelly man living in his mother’s basement, is a miracle in its own right. But the fact that it was you, the sweet, caring woman who completed our pack in a way we didn’t even realize we needed, is by far the best thing that’s ever happened in my life. In any of ours. I can’t wait to build our family together because I know, with you, every moment will be better than the last.

Unable to contain my smile, I wandered around the apartment, gathering the notes. They were everywhere, from the TV screen to inside the box of tea I had become obsessed with. Each note held a few sweet, loving sentences from the alphas. They’d taken the time to write and hide all these little love notes…just for me.
It was hard not to feel so insanely loved reading those words.
On the door to my greenhouse, there was one taped to the glass, so I couldn’t miss it.
Mable,
Our lives are busy and messy, and I’ve been okay with that for so long. Between classes and games, I found comfort in a sassy and painfully sweet omega online. For a while, that was enough tokeep me sane and content, but something changed. We met you. Our lives were infinitely better for it.
I was always more interested in classes than hockey, but I played because I liked being on a team with my pack mates, and I could fit it around my schedule.
Well, that’s changed. You came into our lives, perfect, sweet Maple. You and the baby made me reassess what I want from life.
As of next week, I am no longer on the California Chargers. Devin has been working on nullifying the contract for the last week, and until contract renewal at the end of the season, I am a free man.
I thought long and hard about what I wanted, and that’s you. I'm not making the decision out of obligation. I promise. I'm doing it out of genuine desire to be home with you and our baby. When you fell sick, I felt like the ground had fallen out from underneath me. I never want to feel that way again. I want to be there for all the firsts, when the baby burps for the first time, when they have a blowout diaper, when they go to the doctor, when they smile.
I want to be there for you. You have done so much for us. You moved into our apartment, you'velived with us, and dealt with our pack dynamics, even though you didn't ask for this. You filled a hole in our hearts that was painfully empty. You have been sweet and kind and gracious and you deserve everything.
I’m not arrogant enough to think I'm everything, but I am ready to give it a shot—for all of us.
I love you, and one day I hope I can call you my bonded omega. If it were up to me, I would be biting you as soon as possible because I cannot imagine a life without you.
Percy.
I paused, looking up from the paper and back several times. The thought of being alone had been keeping me awake. This… this was a solution.
But was Percy really okay with it?
The light caught the back of the paper, and I noticed there was more on the other side. I flipped it over, and the handwriting changed to scribbles from the rest of my alphas.
We know this is a lot, but please say yes. We adore you, we love you, and we want you forever. —D
We have all promised to ensure the house is stocked with all the goodies, and I promise to bethere for each and every heat moving forward with sex and cuddles. —S
You’re ours to keep forever, Maple girl. I’m not letting anything so sweet get away. And I’ll show you just how much I adore you whenever you ask. —J
“My guys…” Tears were making things blurry. “Oh my god…”
When the elevator pinged, letting me know Percy was home from school, I waddled over as fast as I could to meet him.
