“Don’t worry, he will,” River murmurs, putting his arms around my neck.
“I’m not worried,” I assure him. “If Frost isn’t back here in five seconds, I’ll go grab him while Kellan warms you up.”
“I’m not sure our mate needs warming,” Kellan admits. “It feels like he’s ready to be knotted.”
I turn to catch him stripping out of his shirt, his gaze on us.
Brooke lets out a soft sigh. “He’s definitely ready to be knotted.”
“Then I guess Frost’s out of luck,” I tell River as I lean in and give him one last kiss. My jeans feel so damn tight it hurts to move, but I roll off my Omega and get back to my feet, stripping out of my T-shirt and unbuttoning my jeans automatically. I push my jeans down and I let out a sigh as they hit the carpet.
“We should wait for him,” Kellan says, sighing softly as Brooke kisses his naked shoulder, one arm wrapped around him from behind. “We haven’t exactly talked about who the pack leader is.”
“River’s ready to be rutted unconscious by a big, fat Alpha-knot,” I remind him. “Do you really want to keep our sweet, little Omega from his prize?”
River groans on the bed. He loves it when I talk dirty.
I could almost make him come without touching him.
Too bad that’s not going to be enough.
“Take care of River, while I go find out what’s happened to Frost.” I tug on the waistband of Kellan’s pants as I pass, undoing them and bumping the tip of his cock against my fingers. No underwear. Naughty boy. Brooke slips her hand down to grasp our Alpha’s cock. She lets out a needy sigh.
“Help Kellan with River,” I tell her, making her eyes flash when I teasingly add, “Don’t be greedy with this one’s knot.”
She growls lightly at me. “Go find Frost.I’mtaking care of River. Don’t worry about that.”
I hold up my hands before I open the door and leave the room.
Frost isn’t in the hallway. I close the door behind me and let out a sigh.
Where the fuck did he go?
KELLAN
As much as I want to help River through his first heat, I can’t fight the feeling that Frost should be in my place right now, that he should be the one stripping our Omega, getting him ready to take his knot. There’s an order to everything in a pack. I don’t know much, but I know Frost isn’t going to relinquish hold as the leader of this pack, and if I’m being honest, I wouldn’t want him to.
Being second Alpha to a pack with two Omegas and a Beta with Alpha-energy isn’t something I ever thought I’d want, but that’s only because I had no idea Brooke and I were fated for life together in a pack. What we’ve found together is more than I could ever have imagined possible.
Brooke is naked before I’ve gotten River halfway stripped, and she climbs onto the bed beside him, a wicked little smile on her pretty lips, and a world of intent glimmering in her sapphire eyes.
He turns to watch her while I toss his jeans to the floor.
“I’d like to claim my mate while he’s knotted,” Brooke murmurs, as she moves in close to River. “If that’s okay with him?”
River’s breath catches and I know there’s no way Frost’s going to be back here fast enough to stop me from locking my knot in our Omega before he can get the chance to take the first rut.
“You mean …” he starts, his voice a reedy whisper.
She nods as she grabs the front of his shirt and tugs. “I want you deep inside me while Kellan gives you his knot.”
River moves onto his side and kisses Brooke, his arm closing around her.
God, the sight of them together ignites something primal inside me.
These perfect, sexy Omegas belong together, and they belong with me.
They’re both mine, and I’ll do everything in my power to love and protect them, always.
