“Both of you are perfect,” Eleri slurred. “And I want you both to bite me. Now.”
Devlin sighed heavily. “We can’t bite her out here.”
“No,” I said. “Let’s get inside.”

I WOKE UP to Maguire shaking me.
“They’re gone,” he said, the minute my eyes were open.
I sprang up out of bed and started—stupidly—moving all the blankets out of the way on the bed as if that was going to fix something. Nobody was hiding under the blankets.
Maguire was leaving the room. “I found their clothes in the living room, okay, and there are footprints in the snow.”
I hurried out after him. “What are you saying? They took off their clothes and went out in the snow naked?”
“Looks like it,” said Maguire.
“What the fuck? Why would they do that?” I stalled in the room, though, breathing in the scent in there. It was Eleri’s scent but different, better, more intense. It went right to the root of my cock and made me knot up. I staggered for a minute, and then I knew. “She’s in heat.”
“Oh, is that what heat smells like?” said Maguire, giving me an expression that mirrored mine—pure need and arousal.
“Well, they’ve gone insane with it,” I breathed. “I’ve heard… I’ve never… there’s a reason they use those implants on the omegas.”
“What are you talking about?” he said.
“Well, since you don’t pay attention in history class, you probably don’t remember that there was a war that was kicked off in the 1600s over an omega’s heat. She was the daughter of a duke who ended up with warring countries’ princes in her bed at the same time, and they fought over who was going to claim the heir.”
“As fascinating as this is, shouldn’t we be going out into the snow to find them?”
“Well, what I’m saying is heat makes people go a little crazy,” I said. “And if we go out there, we might just end up in the middle of an orgy in the snow, so…”
“Fuck this,” said Maguire. “I’m going after them.”
I considered. “Yeah. Should be you. You’re the steadiest of us, and I’m badly affected by Sinclair, and he’s going to be…” Fuck, Sinclair in a rut? What the hell would that be? Would he attempt to kill us all? “I’m going to stay here, on the porch, and we’re going to stay in contact with phones, and if you need me to call for help, I will.”
“You think it’s going to be that bad?” he said.
I lifted my shoulders.
“Fuck,” he said. He went and put on his shoes and a coat. I did too. We both went onto the porch.
Carrying his phone, he trooped off, following the footprints.
I stayed where I was, clutching the phone.
Maguire disappeared around the house.
And then, I waited, staring into the sun as it reflected off the snow.

I FOUND THEM staggering back toward the house, all of them shivering, all of them knotted together.
She was facing Sinclair, but both of them were carrying her. They were walking sideways with her pressed between them.
