“I was afraid he might decide we weren’t right for him.”

“He’s our true mate.”

“That’s the problem.”

“That’s a problem?”

“How did we get so damn lucky?”

Donnie laughs. “I don’t feel the need to question the universe at every turn, but if I had to guess I’d say we’ve done enough good deeds to earn a lucky break or two. Well, three, I guess, if we’re counting Kellan.”

“Four,” I tell him, making his smile widen.

“Is the dark cloud gone yet, or is it still hovering?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

“I think it’s going away,” I tell him. “I don’t want to let him down.”

“You could never let River down. You’re his Alpha. He knows how much you care, and he knows sometimes you think too much and let that get in the way.”

“I fucking love you, Donnie.”

“Well, thank God for that,” he tells me, holding out his hand. “Now come knot your Omega. He wants a real mark from his Alpha, and I have a feeling Kellan might need some help by now.”

BROOKE

The second time I come on River’s dick, I start to get really fucking warm. And I’m pretty sure it’s not just because I’m being pounded while my new mate is being knotted. I’ve been feeling what River’s been feeling, but this is different.

Oh, God. I’m in heat.

His heat has triggered mine.

Damn it. That’s no good. He needs his Alphas. This is his big moment. It’s not mine.

“Brooke?” River asks, sounding vaguely concerned through his lust.

I realize I just closed my eyes tight and pressed my lips together.

Relaxing my face, I open my eyes and give him a smile. “That felt so damn good.”

I’m not cramping up this time, at least. There’s no pain. I’m just warm, and incredibly wet and my pussy’s getting a little desperate to take a knot.

River’s gaze moves down, and back up again. “We need Frost.”

“What?” I ask, feeling my face pale.

He can’t tell I’m in heat, can he? He’s in heat. Anything I’m feeling can be explained away as my empathic ability to feel what he’s feeling. There’s no way he can tell it’s something more than that.

“What’s wrong?” Kellan asks, going still.

River looks me in the eyes. “Brooke’s in heat, now, too.”

“No, I’m not!” I protest.

“You are,” River tells me. “I can feel it. You need a knot.”

“No, I needyou,” I insist, rocking into him a little.

He moans lightly. “Brooke …”
