I was so fucking exhausted of being scared and jumpy all the time. Omegas needed touch to survive, but I could hardly tolerate even the slightest physical contact anymore.
She was fucking beautiful. Her hair perfectly framed her round face, and I saw she had the cutest smattering of freckles. I wished I could see her eyes,
Her eyes fluttered open. They were bright green, and I was instantly mesmerized. An explosion couldn’t convince me to look away from her.
Fuck, was she going into heat? Where were her alphas? Because if she doesn’t have any, I will volunteer as tribute.
My body is a good body. My body doesn’t exist for the sole purpose of being thin.
Fictional men would never hurt me or think I’m too fat. Who needs real men?
He sighed, staying crouched down. “Sweet omega, you are a gift. Those alphas don’t deserve you. You deserve a pack that will worship the ground you walk on and gives you whatever you want and need. Do you understand?”
Ben’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. “Josie, I hope you know how special we think you are, and we hope you choose us.” “We know you don’t really know us yet,” Theo added, “But we would love to get to know you more and would be honored if you chose us as your pack.” “We promise to protect and care for you,” Cam added.
“We’ll need to be careful and take things slow if she’s scared of alphas,” Theo said, a deep sadness permeating his voice.
I would find out who had hurt her and end them. My alpha was feeling bloodthirsty and wanted revenge for our mate.
The three of us sighed with relief. Now we had the opportunity to get to know her, court her, and prove to her we were worthy mates. Although I wasn’t sure I could ever be fully worthy of her. She was pure fucking sweetness.
Everything in me screamed to pull my mate into the house and lock the door behind her, leaving her parents on the front porch. And then it could start pouring down rain. With lightning. A little electrocution of your enemies never hurt anyone.
“You’re our mate,” he said, his voice deep and rough. “We’ll do anything for you and want you here more than anything. I’m so fucking grateful we were asked to do the interview because I would murder any other pack that got close to you.”
“That was the hottest fucking experience of my life. You made a grown-ass man come in his fucking pants.”
Cam was being a classic overbearing alpha, but somehow his treatment didn’t make me feel like he thought I was weak. It made me feel cherished.
Her heat had triggered my alpha instincts and I wanted to hide her away, preferably in my bed where I could cuddle and feed her all day.
Josie let out a soft sigh as she blinked her eyes open. She looked around, her little nose scrunching up in confusion. Fucking adorable.
I almost shouted, frantically looking around the room as if a How to Stop Fucking Things Up and Upsetting Your Omega You Dipshit manual would appear.
I couldn’t stop myself from bringing my hand to her face, gently cupping it and brushing the briefest kiss over her lips. It had been ages since I’d kissed someone, and the feel of her lips against mine sent butterflies in my stomach.
“You have to learn to share,” Ben said, his tone adorably sleepy. “I think fucking not,” Cam murmured into my ear.
I had never imagined I could be this comfortable with my alphas. A little jolt of realization shot through me. They were mine.
As I pumped my finger slowly in and out of her, I was struck by the fact that I loved her. My mate, my omega, my girl.
“You’re the most precious thing to me, Josie. The most important, sweetest part of my life.”
I felt a slight vibration coming from Josie’s chest. I stilled as it grew stronger. It was the sweetest, cutest fucking purr I had ever heard. She was purring for me. My mate was purring for me.
“I wish you could see yourself like I do right now. You are an angel.” His voice was a reverent whisper.
“There is no world, realm, or universe in which you or your body could disappoint me. I love every part of you. I’ve never felt this kind of attraction—”
My Theo, reserved, serious, wears-a-tie Theo, had a penis piercing.
“Yes, alpha,” she said, and fuck if I didn’t almost blow my load right then. Her trust was a drug.
I hid my smile at the big alpha asking for cuddles.
A rumbling started in my chest as I began to purr. Everything about this situation was stressful as fuck, but satisfaction filled me as I purred for my mate for the first time.
“I’m not saying there won’t be mornings where we have to get up early or you’ll be in bed on your own. But we’ll do a better job communicating and ensure you’re feeling okay. Before you protest, let me be clear that I want to do this. Beautiful, you’re my mate. I’m completely taken with you. I love you.”
“I want you,” I murmured. “You have me, precious,” Ben said. Okay, direct approach needed. “Umm, no, like I want you,” I said, trailing my hand down his front until I cupped his cock.
“I didn’t think we would be stuck together. I guess I thought when people said they were locked together, they were speaking metaphorically. Like, you know, now we’re locked together emotionally.”
I had no idea what time it was besides too early o’clock.
“You want me to fuck another woman?” I growled, crowding her against the wall. “You’d be okay if I went back and fucked a beta in the bathroom? You would be fine with me putting my hands on someone else? Because baby girl, let me be crystal clear—if you ever touch someone outside of our pack, I’ll fucking kill them. You. Are. Mine.”
“I’ve never in my life wanted someone like I want you. My thoughts are filled with you every single waking moment. I’m fucking obsessed with you, baby girl. I want to do anything I can to make you happy, to keep you safe. And to give you more pleasure than you’ve ever experienced.”
I wasn’t sure how I would get this next part out when I felt a slight vibration run through Josie’s chest. The vibration strengthened, and I realized my mate was purring for me. I held her close, allowing her purr to work through my body. I had never dreamed of being gifted an omega purr, and a tear spilled onto my cheek.
“Cam, I need you to hear me on this. I’ve spent my life around terrible alphas. Alphas that wanted me to be scared and under their control, that didn’t listen to me, that violated me. I know what cruel alphas are like. Do you think I would be here if you were anything like that? I love you.”
My lips twitched, almost breaking into a smile. My sweet cinnamon roll alpha.
If I looked into her bright green eyes, I would be hypnotized, convinced to do whatever possible to make her happy.
The car swerved as Josie turned her head to take in the pink and orange sky. I leaned over to grab the steering wheel and straighten us out so we didn’t go careening off a fucking cliff.
The three of us all turned towards Sam with furious expressions. If our mate wanted to kill us all in a car crash, she could do that, damn it, and no one was going to make her feel bad about it.
