Forbidden: Part One (Luna & Sol Omegaverse, #1)

by Emilia Emerson

“Oh my gosh, Ben! Cinnamon rolls and coffee. Is this all a ploy to get me to slip up and tell you what your scent is?” she asked, her eyes lighting with laughter. I arched my eyebrow. “I would never be so diabolical,” I said, placing my hand on my chest in mock horror. “Although, if you want a cinnamon roll, you better tell me what I want to know.” I snagged the plate of rolls off the counter and held them above my head.

Josie gasped. “You would deprive me of breakfast?” Her lip jutted out in a pout, and she blinked quickly. “What? No!” I exclaimed, setting down the plate on the counter and placing my hands on either side of her face. “Never.” Suddenly, Josie’s sad expression transformed into laughter as she leaned into me with a giggle. I slumped over in relief. “Fuck, precious, I thought I made you upset.” Josie wrapp...

“You know how you can make it up to me?” I murmured. “Hmm?” “Tell me what my scent is.” Her laughter started again, and it was the sweetest sound in the world. “Pleaasse.” “Don’t do it!” Theo yelled from the next room. “Make him work for it,” Cam added as he entered the kitchen.

He went straight to Josie, shoving me aside to pull her in for a heated kiss. “No breakfast for you,” I said, glowering at Cam.

Josie sighed happily in Cam’s embrace. “You’re right, Ben, there is something missing. And it would be perfect now that it’s getting to be fall.” “Aha! A hint,” I said, rub...

“This looks amazing, you two,” Theo said, kissing Josie’s forehead. “Ben’s a creative genius in the kitchen,” Josie said easily. “That he is,” Cam said, slinging his arm around my shoulder.

Happiness bubbled through my body. After years of waiting, our family felt complete, and it was better than anything I could have dreamed.

I glanced over at Cam. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes kept sweeping the restaurant as if he were ready to jump into action. I realized he probably was. He hadn’t told me much about his past, but I knew he had served in the military for several years. It wasn’t hard to imagine Cam commanding people in dangerous situations. And right now, he was acting as if we were at imminent risk of being under attack.

When we arrived at the restaurant, one owned by a friend of Ben’s, Cam had demanded they seat us in a booth in a far corner where he could see the exits. He also insisted I slide into the booth first so he could better protect me.

In contrast to Cam’s casual outfit, Theo wore a black suit and a green plaid tie. His dark brown hair was neatly combed back and the candlelight danced across his chiseled jaw. God, he was like an even sexier James Bond.

Ben cleared his throat. I had been staring at Theo without saying anything for an inappropriate amount of time. My cheeks heated as I finally tore my eyes away. “Next time, I’ll know to wear a tie,” Ben said, his eyes dancing with amusement.

“If Ben’s in charge, he’ll just order every entrée and make you try them all,” Cam snorted, squeezing my thigh again. Was I imagining it or had his hand moved closer to my core? “Not all,” Ben responded with a glint in his eye. “Josie doesn’t like shrimp, so we’ll skip that one.”

I froze when I saw it was my mother and a group of her friends. Sam and I had dubbed the group the Omega Bitch Squad as teens—OBS for short. Sam’s mother, Victoria, was part of the group, along with several other omegas whose alphas were all Designation Traditionalists.

“If we stay, I’ll do something I regret,” Cam said, pulling me out of the booth. “Probably best we go unless you want to pick me up from jail.” I wasn’t sure what it said about me that his words didn’t remotely frighten me. Instead, I pulled him down for a kiss, uncaring that the OBS was watching.

For the first time, I left an encounter with them feeling like I came out on top. They could do their best to insult me, but I was the one leaving with three hot alphas who cared about me, while they all had to go back home to cruel alphas who didn’t give them the time of day.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” “We like seeing you happy and knowing you’re safe and fed,” Theo said. I blushed. “I haven’t had much of that in my life.” “No kidding, if that’s who you grew up with,” Ben said.

“What’s the deal with them?” Cam asked. “Didn’t seem like your mom’s friends are very nice to her.” “Yeah. I’m not sure they’re nice to anyone, but they’ve always treated her like an outcast.” I responded, taking another bite of the mac and cheese. “Sam and I call them the Omega Bitch Squad.” Ben choked on his drink, snorting out in laughter. “Perfect name.”

“When she finally got up to leave, she stopped in the doorway and said, ‘I wish you and I had died alongside him so we wouldn’t have to live this misery.’ I think it’s the only honest thing she’s ever said. She said she hates looking at me because I look like him. He had green eyes.”

“My mother didn’t have anywhere to go. She had a two-year-old and was an omega alone. So she returned to her parents’ house. I think they’re the ones who set up the match between her and Jericho and Richard. I don’t know if they ever loved each other, but they certainly don’t now. I knew I wasn’t biologically theirs because they told me all the time. My grandparents did, too. They made sure I knew, even as a child, that I didn’t really belong with them.”

“What, sweetheart?” Cam asked, cradling me closer to his body. “I don’t know. It’s probably stupid. But one time, my grandmother was talking on the phone when I was at their house. They had locked me in a closet. I think she forgot I was there, so she was standing nearby and said, ‘It was good we got rid of him.’ I don’t know if she was talking about my dad, but what if she was? What if they did something to him?”

“They locked you in a closet?” Cam growled, outraged. I scrunched my nose. “I feel like the possibility of them murdering my dad deserves more of a reaction than them locking me in the closet.” “Fucking does not,” Cam bit out. I looked at Ben and Theo for support, but their faces were both hard with anger.

“Did they do that often?” Theo asked, his voice low and cold. I squirmed. “Umm, no.” “Josie,” Cam said. “Don’t lie to us.” “I mean, sometimes they would. But it’s actually a good thing because it forced me to lea...

I saw Cam out of the corner of my eye sneaking sips of my martini when he thought I wasn’t looking. Finally, I turned around fast enough to catch him in the act. His cheeks blushed furiously. “Next time, you have to order one for yourself,” I laughed. I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. “But don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.”

Cam set down the drink and gripped my chin with his thumb and forefinger. “I guess I just like tasting sweet things.” My body heated at his words and I swayed closer to him. His firm hand on my face guided me into a deep kiss. I could taste the cotton candy on his tongue.

Theo and Ben’s eyes were on me, their deep scents swirling in the breeze. I knew I wasn’t ready to have sex with all of them yet, but a gush of slick soaked my underwear at the thought of all their hands on me.

“Look at his hand! He touched her bare hand, and he’s feeling things,” I shouted, pointing at Mr. Darcy from my perch on the den sectional. “I thought he hated her,” Ben said, his arms wrapped around me and his chin resting on my head. “Classic enemies to lovers,” Theo said, squeezing my hand.

“They’ll be back before you know it, love,” Theo said, tucking me into his chest. “I’m being silly.” “Not at all. Being separated from your mates is always hard, especially at the beginning. If it makes you feel better, those two will be miserable the whole time.” I scowled at him. “I don’t want them to be miserable.” But my omega preened at the thought of them missing us. “You’re sweet,”

“Can’t wait to be inside you, to feel that sweet pussy coming on my cock, hear more of those breathy little moans you make when you’re close.”

I swear I almost came just from his words. The guys had been careful not to pressure me to do anything sexual, but hearing Ben didn’t make me anxious. It made me want to strip and have him fuck me right here, against the wall.

“Thank you,” I said, pressing kisses up and down his neck. That he wanted to support me in going to class because it was important to me, even though he wasn’t comfortable with it, filled me with warmth. “It’s nothing,” Cam said, looking shy again. He was wrong. It was everything.

“Fuck, angel, I can’t go into the gym covered in your scent. The other alphas will lose their shit.” I whined. I wanted him to be covered with my scent, wanted everyone to know that he was mine. Theo smirked, taking in my scowl. “You’re a possessive little thing, aren’t you?”

“Have I mentioned how much I love that you’re possessive of me, angel? Because I’m possessive as fuck over you.”

“Fuck! This is all your fault for being irresistible. Now I’ve got to use fucking de-scenter spray. Get inside before I put your cute little ass back in this car and take you home.”

asked, her earnest eyes meeting mine. “Yeah, I am,” I said. “I was so scared to join a pack, scared to even be around alphas. But they’re the best. They make me feel so safe.”

“I don’t know,” I groaned, flopping back on the mat. “I’m scared.” “What are you scared of?” Clementine asked, her eyes wide. “Mostly that I’ll freak out… that it will remind me of what happened at the DA.” My voice was a hoarse whisper, my gaze focused on a crack in the cement brick wall. Clementine’s hand gently landed on top of mine. “I don’t know exactly what you went through, but I’m sorry it happened.”

“There’s no rush to do it,” Westin said gently. “Do you feel like they’re pressuring you?” “No, not at all,” I said, biting my lip. “But I think I want to do it? I don’t know.” I covered my face with my arms. “I want to have sex with Theo. With all of them. I don’t want what happened at the DA to control me, to make me scared forever. But what if I lose it on him?” “So what if you do?” Poppy said. “If he’s worthy of you, he’ll understand and be kind about it.”

“Look, I don’t know what happened at the DA after I left, but I’ll never forget what you looked like when I saw you after you got out. You scared the shit out of me. It was like you were dead. And the past few weeks, it feels like you’ve come back to life again,” Poppy said.

“There’s nothing wrong with you for being scared. I had issues trusting my alphas at first. The DA really messed us up.”

“Yeah. I freaked out anytime I was alone. I cried a lot. And they didn’t really know what to do, but they were there and kept trying. They earned my trust over time. Remember that I’ve been with them for almost three years now. We weren’t like this at the beginning.”

“Okay, so hypothetically, if I decided to have sex with him tonight, what would I do? I don’t want to mess it up,” I said, glancing at Westin and Clementine. “You can’t mess up sex,” Westin said with a small smile. “As long as it feels good and you’re comfortable, it’s right.”

“But what if he doesn’t think I’m attractive?” My friends snorted and rolled their eyes. “I’m serious!” “Josie, come on. They already know what you look like. And you’re fucking hot,” Poppy said with a confidence I didn’t have.

“I don’t know what to do to make it good for him,” I confessed. “Alphas are so easy,” Poppy said with confidence....

“But I’ve never even seen a… you know,” I said, gesturing at my crotch. “Do you need me to draw you a diagram of a cock?” Poppy asked with a giggle. “Ugh, no! I just don’t know what to do with it.” Westin giggled. “Well, mainly put it inside you, right? But you can also give a blow job. They’re easy—you just grip the base with your hand and move it up and down for a bit. Keep gripping the base and put your mouth on the tip. Use y...

Clementine nodded. “You can touch their balls, too. Some guys go crazy with that.” “Am I supposed to, like… swallow it?” I asked, my voice getting high-pitched. “That’s up to you. But you’ll probably want to. Alpha jizz tastes r...

“Fuck, I’m missing out being a beta,” Clementine said, tears streaming down her face. “I think it tastes so gross.”

“Maybe that’s an incentive for me to try alphas,” Westin said, her face pink. “Because beta males do not give me that dreamy expression.”

“Fuck that!” Poppy said. “You’re hot and amazing. Any alpha should crawl on his knees to be worthy of you.” Clementine raised her eyebrows at me. “Poppy has strong opinions,” I said with a smile. “But she’s right.”

“Why am I so nervous?” “You just have to do it,” Poppy said. “Just get home and seduce him.” “Seduce him?” I squealed, quickly covering my mouth at how loud I’d been. “I can’t seduce him,” I hissed.

“Just walk up to him, grab his cock through his pants, and say, ‘Daddy, I want your big, fat cock inside me,’” Poppy said, forming a pout with her lips and blinking her eyes.

“Oh my god, Poppy!” the three of us shrieked. She fell over with a cackle. “Okay, that might be a little advanced. Why don’t you suggest giving each other massages? And then, i...
