I deserved it.

Pulling out my phone, I texted the one person who I knew would help me make this place mine.

Eliza:I have a mission

Teagan:Do I need a shovel? Wine? Or just myself?

Eliza:Yourself… actually, we might need the wine.

Teagan:Color me interested. Hit me with the details.

I snapped a picture of my sad room with its blank walls and boring, basic furniture and sent it.

Teagan:Are you in jail??! You didn’t mention bail money.

Eliza:No, this is my room Teag. But I’ve barely been in here. I need to make it my own. Make it cozy.

Teagan:I’m in. Just say when and where.

Eliza:Maybe tomorrow after riding today I think I’ll need some time alone and process everything.

With that out of the way I tucked my phone in my pocket and walked out. I couldn’t hide away anymore.

Even as I tried to steel my spine, my hands shook when I pushed the garage door open and stepped inside, instantly stopping short at what waited for me.

What I didn’t expect was to see Damien, Loki, Bane, and Romeo waiting inside each watching me expectantly.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. My voice was sharp and I winced. “Sorry that came out wrong, but my question still stands.”

“You’re getting back on the bike today,” Damien replied incredulously, a dark eyebrow raising at my tone. “You thought I’d miss this?”

“What if I can’t?”

“Then we can wait—” Bane started but was cut off.

“No, fuck that.” Damien stalked forward and put his fingers under my chin, tilting my head up so I had to look at him. “Get your ass on the bike.”

“Nice pep talk,” I said with a burst of laughter. His eyes sparkled but he was completely unrepentant.

“If you want babied call someone else. I know my omega is strong and confident. She also happens to be a bad bitch on a motorcycle, so get your hot ass up there and show off,” he challenged.

Damien was great at pep talks when he wanted to be. He raised his eyebrows at me, silently challenging me to get on with it. Such a fucking pushy alpha.

I simply pushed past him and got on my bike. For a moment I just appreciated the feel of the powerful machine under me before I turned the key and revved the engine.

The sound had a smile spreading across my face.

All my insecurities fell away and I turned to Romeo, knowing he didn’t have a bike here.

“You getting on?”

“Hell yes, I am!” He grinned, letting out a whoop before sliding on behind me. His arms circled around me and I snuggled into him for half a second before raising an eyebrow at the other three.

“Catch us if you can.”

“If you ride out of here like a bat out of hell after years of not riding I’ll spank that ass of yours, Eliza!” Loki thundered but I just revved my engine in response to drown him out.

“Go,” Romeo hissed in my ear.
