But Scarlett comes first. I will not allow this to ruin what should be days of passion and love. Of bliss.

I don’t want her to even think about the world outside of us. I just have to get her somewhere safe. To prove that I’m a worthy alpha.

I will ensure Scarlett doesn’t have to face Chaz again.

I just hope I can follow through.

Scarlett deserves the world and pure happiness. And looking at my beautiful omega, feeling her closeness and sensing her body calling to mine, I know I deserve the same.

We deserve a perfect life together.

Scarlett

Bonding Moment

“Youneedtoeatsomething, amore.” Ezra kneels on the floor outside of the small empty closet of our temporary apartment. “Leo said you haven’t eaten since you left this morning.”

I clutch the feather pillow to my chest, trying not to think about the fact that he’s offering me something to eat in this moment.

I moan and reach down, petting my fingers through Jonah’s hair. “I’m not hungry. I just...come join us. I’m so fucking horny.”

“Amore, I don’t think I can fit.” Ezra stretches forward and caresses his knuckles to my cheek.

“That’s not what she said,” Jonah mutters against my apex.

I gasp a laugh, moaning as he returns to sucking and rolling his tongue across my clit, the act pacifying both of us in the heat of the moment. Jonah hasn’t left my side for even a moment, carrying me to the bathroom when I need to go, cleaning me off when I’m there, and returning me back to the place I chose, not letting the pain of my heat return.

“Amore, I promise if you let me feed you, it’ll be worth it. Jonah would never admit it, but he could use something to eat, too. Don’t unintentionally deny us the satisfaction of being with you. It’s so easy to get lost in the moment until it’s gone.” Ezra closes the space, kissing me softly. “Plus, Leo is about to snatch you out of here and pin you to the bed.”

I squeeze Jonah between my thighs at the thought. “He can—”

Leo growls from outside the closet, locks his hands to Ezra’s sides and drags him away. Everything happens so fast that I can’t even release a whimper at losing the pleasure of Jonah’s mouth before my back hits the bed. Climbing on top of me, Leo slides his hand behind my head and into my hair, bowing close.

“Listen, dirty girl. You’ve been coddled enough. You’re going to be good and allow us all the honor of taking care of you. Do you understand?” Growling against my lips, Leo inhales a breath, keeping an inch of space between us.

I huff and squirm, feeling the length of his arousal against my leg. “Give me your fucking knot. That’s the only way I’ll be good for you.”

The bed shifts as Adrian appears in my line of sight. The intensity of lust pouring from all my alphas circling around me sets me off in an unexpected way. It’s as if I’m their sexy little prey to be devoured. I purr and grab Adrian’s hip, clawing my nails into him.

“Teach me how to be good for him,” I murmur, my desire fogging my mind. “For all of you. Claim me as you please. Show me what you need.” Where this sudden audacity and demand comes from? Well, the ache inside me. The deep-seated need to breed with my alphas. To show the world that they’re mine and no one else will ever mistake otherwise.

“Come here, Scarlett. You can lay on top of me. I’ll hold you how you need for Leo,” Adrian says, hooking his arm around me.

“Nice and still. I’m going to fuck you and fill you with my seed, dirty girl. We won’t stop until you’re knocked the fuck up, and no one will try to mess with us again. You’re our omega. Our beautiful, horny omega.” Leo locks his hand to my ankle, hoisting me up. He smacks my ass, sending hot tingles through my body. “Isn’t that right?”

Dominic steals my attention, kneeling so close that I can reach out and grab his cock. I do, stroking my fingers over him, getting him to moan for me. He pinches my nipple, making me arch. “Unless I knock her up. Because I’m next.”

Talk about teamwork.

We never discussed my heat in detail, but we all knew we’d want to start a family immediately. It’s been an innate desire I’ve dreamed about. Not because it is my duty, either. I felt so lost after my first heat, knowing that nothing would come out of it, and it hurt me on a soul level. I’ve desired children for my short adult life. I wanted to do better than my parents. I wanted more than the incentives or obligations. I wanted—and still want—the freedom of raising a pack against societal norms. I want this moment, this act, to be one that changes everything.

Some of my sisters don’t want to bring life to the future because of our obligations. I want to as a way of breaking the cycle. I know I can do it. My alphas and I can make waves, starting here and now with our love and loyalty. With our unending devotion to each other, built on sensibility and not power.

“Nice and wet. God, you’re soaking.” Leo ignites pleasure between my legs, banishing my thoughts of everything apart from him.

“Let me see,” Ezra says, kneeling beside him.
