Page 95 of Choosing Their Omega

The Alphas said they would take care of my car when they brought me home, but with everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d forgotten about it. I certainly forgot about a lot during my heat just now.

They haven’t, though. They haven’t forgotten about my car. In fact, my loyal girl has been completely fixed up. She looks brand new.

I can’t even imagine how much all the repairs and cosmetic updates cost. My jaw is open, and I just can’t stop staring. This car was my reliable companion all these years, and it might seem silly, but it almost feels like getting a friend back.

“You—you really didn’t have to do this,” I stutter out.

“Of course we did,” Knox insists. As always, he doesn’t take no for an answer. “This car matters to you. We were always going to make sure we fixed it up for you.”

I can feel my eyes blurring and I wipe them quickly. “Well… thank you. I don’t have words for how much this means to me.”

“We also took care of something else,” Lawson says. He looks slightly nervous as he takes my hand. “We took care of your debt.”

All the breath leaves me. “What?”

“We couldn’t leave you living under the weight of that,” Cruz explains. “We had to do something. We’ve got the money, and we figured, why not use it? If we have it, then we should use it to help others. And we want to help you most of all.”

“Being in debt is crippling, and you only did it to help out someone you love.” Miles smiles at me gently. “We were happy to take care of it for you.”

I can’t even speak. I swallow a few times, trying to find words. “But I’m… I’m not even bonded to you yet. I’m not even officially your Omega.”

Knox clears his throat. “It’s not about that,” he says, his voice gruff. “Even if you didn’t choose us, we’d still want to do this for you.”

I can’t get over how selfless this is. These men are truly amazing, and wonderful. My heart feels so full like it’ll burst out of my chest at any moment. I can’t speak. I just launch myself at them instead, kissing and hugging them tightly, reveling in the feeling of their arms around me and their lips against mine.

I don’t know how I ended up so lucky as to find these amazing Alphas, but I know that I won’t take it for granted, ever.

The doorbell rings. Lawson grins. “That must be the food.”

We all head back into the main house, but it’s not the food, it’s Andrea and Ben. “Lily!” Ben rushes toward me and I crouch down to hug him. “You’re not sick anymore!”

“No, I’m not, I’m feeling much better.” I didn’t exactly feel bad during my heat, at least once my Alphas were fucking me and knotting me, giving me what my body needed, but I admit when it first came on it was pretty scary, to feel so out of control.

I’m glad I had my Alphas there to look after me.

“I missed you,” Ben confesses, and I hug him tighter, suddenly batting my eyes against the wetness in them. I’m not going to cry, damn it, but Ben is just so sweet. I can hardly believe how lucky I am that he cares about me.

“I missed you too,” I tell him. The moment I could think clearly again and realized he wasn’t here, I wanted him home with us.

The doorbell rings again, and this time it really is the food. “He was well behaved,” Andrea promises Knox as Miles and Cruz grab the food and bring it into the kitchen. “We had a fun time. He’s just glad to be home.”

“Thank you for looking after him. It means a lot to us.”

“He missed you too,” Andrea adds, looking at me and winking. “He really did.”

I didn’t doubt Ben’s honesty in saying he missed me, but it’s still nice to see how much Andrea wants me to know about it.

“Thank you.” I stand up. “Really. For taking him.”

“Of course. I couldn’t let you five try to deal with something like that while also taking care of a kid. And I’m sure you had fun.” Andrea winks at me and I get to my feet, leading Ben into the kitchen.

Everyone settles in to eat. I look around the table, and the only thing louder than my growling stomach is my hammering heart.

I talked about how I wasn’t even really their Omega. How we hadn’t bonded yet. But as I look around the table at these men, and their adorable child, I know that it’s too late. Bonded or not, I’ve chosen these men. They’re my family. My Alphas.

I can’t imagine my life without them.
