I stop at the head of the table on the other end and pull out my own chair, plopping down. “I’m not choosing either of you right now. There are too many things I don’t know, and I don’t want either of you to think that you suddenly have control over any of this. You guys are fighting over a woman who is pregnant with another man’s baby. You can’t just start beating your chests and saying you are in charge of me. I didn’t choose this life.”
Ravi opens his mouth, and I raise my hand, cutting him off.
“I know what you’re going to say. I know I bowed to you, but you manipulated me into doing so. We are no longer in Sunset Pointe. I am no longer in danger. The hold you have on me already weakens here. So don’t try to use that against me.” It feels so incredible to say it. I want to put him in his place. “You need to earn the right to be my alpha. Both of you.”
“You can’t have more than one alpha, pup. It’s impossible. There is a reason we have our hierarchies. We all have a role, and too many in one position will leave other spots weak in our pack.” Slater rests his elbows on the table, looking from me to the full plate in front of me.
“Do you think I care about your hierarchies? I care about my future children. I care about the men I’ve been tossed into this crazy situation with. I barely know either of you. If I’m going to choose anyone as an alpha, it’s going to be me. I don’t care if my body tries to persuade you guys otherwise.” I tremble with my nerves, knowing that this could go either way. It’s not a smart idea to test two dominating men, but I don’t know what else to do. Mirabel told me that I need to make it clear. “The only thing I will accept from the both of you is trying to grow something between us. I will give you that. I have an understanding with the others, but you have to accept that they’re mine and I’m theirs too. You will have one chance each. If you fuck up, you can go jump into the damn ocean or whatever. I don’t give a fuck. This is my life. You’re welcome to join my pack, or you can go back to being the wild animals you are.”
I lean back in the chair and stare at the plate of food, realizing that the two of them are still waiting for me to take a bite. It makes me want to eat less and less, punishing them for their behavior. But my stomach twists at the thought of not eating. I’m starving. All I want to do is stuff my face, go back to bed, and cuddle with someone warm.
“You expect us to bow to you? Do you know what kind of danger that will open our packs up to? You are an omega, whether you want to be or not. You’re to be cherished and protected by an alpha. You don’t need the stress that comes with leading an entire pack, princess.” Ravi crinkles his nose with his words as if the thought of me rejecting being taken care of pains him. “I will not bow, but I will come to an agreement if the Ice Meadow pack backs down.”
I’m not sure this is exactly what I want. I am a leader.
“You can be a leader. I will not deny you the ability to make decisions, but you have to understand, if those decisions don’t work to keep everyone safe, I will overrule them. I will do what I can to ensure your future is one you and the rest of us can be happy with.” Slater reaches out and rests his hand on top of mine, gently taking the spoon from my fingers. He scoops up some of the soup from the bowl next to my plate of vegetables and offers it to me, waiting until I part my lips to allow him to feed me.
Ravi watches the whole time, his muscles bulging with jealousy. He wants to feed me too. He hates that I allow someone that isn’t part of the Sunset Pointe pack to do so.
I motion for him to hand me the basket of bread. I know exactly what he plans, and I wait for him to tear off a piece of one of the rolls before he offers to hand feed it to me.
My wolf loves this too much. I can’t stop the hum escaping my mouth. I’ve never had so much attention in my life. It’s always been me serving others. Maybe being an omega won’t be so bad. If only the leader in me wouldn’t put up such a fight.
“I can take care of that, princess. I know how to tame you. You won’t even think about having to do anything except enjoy everything I have to offer as your alpha.” Ravi caresses his fingers over my cheek, really getting to me good. I think he might realize he can’t get away with bossing me around with the competition of another alpha.
And damn it. It makes me want to test him by denying him. See if he throws an alpha-sized tantrum for not getting his way.
“A tantrum from me, princess?” Ravi thinks to me. “No. Bending you over and punishing you for being a naughty girl...absolutely. You’ll like it.”
Fuck me. I might have a thing for assholes, especially ones who can be a softy like Ravi. He does care for his pack. For me. Even if it is a weird way and he struggles to show it.
“What about guys who choose to be kind all the time, pup? I don’t find the appeal of being an asshole to anyone who doesn’t deserve it.” Slater hears my thoughts, and I wonder if Ravi does too.
One look in his direction proves he does, and his cocky grin widens. The bastard. I really hate how open my mind is. I’m far too comfortable with both of them, and I know I shouldn’t be. They could easily overpower me, cast out the other guys, or do something crazy like cage me. I don’t have much leverage. All I have going for me is the fact that they aren’t disgusting like the other alphas who want to see me bent over and bred or dead. Well, they probably do want to see me bent over, but by my free will and not theirs.
My fucking vagina. The thought of it sends a wave of lust through me. Heat builds in my core and pours through my veins. Blush creeps up my chest and into my cheeks. A mixture of delectable scents—like frosted berries and something wilder like moss on trees wafts into my nostrils with my breath. I inhale deeper and close my eyes, savoring the scent that I can taste and what it does to me.
Both Slater and Ravi flair their nostrils, each sucking in a mouthful of the air. They’re sniffing me like I am them. I know that I release some sort of weird-ass pheromones, and so do they. By the looks of it, it sets us all off. I squirm and squeeze my legs together as goosebumps pickle over my skin. Holy shit.
I slam my palms on the table and push my chair back, trying to abandon the table before I throw myself across it and ask to be devoured. My chair catches on the rug, and I trip backward with a shriek. I don’t hit the ground. Slater steadies the chair while Ravi snatches me. I can’t stop myself from clinging to both of them, one of my hands gripping Ravi’s shoulder and the other on Slater’s side. I scramble out of the chair and onto my feet only to find myself the meat in their muscular sandwich. I face Ravi but feel Slater pressing against my back. Both of them have raging erections, poking at me because their closeness leaves no room for either to go.
A small, cooing sound escapes my mouth. Did I just fucking whimper? I did. It’s as if my wolf starts to get restless, threatening to break free. My desire steals my good senses, working me up.
It takes every ounce of my willpower to slide out from in between them and cross my arms over my chest. I didn’t think just their closeness could make me so damn horny. I feel as if I need to find relief, or I’ll do something crazy. There is no way I’m asking either of them. I can do it my damn self.
“But why do it when you don’t have to?” Ravi closes the space to me again, his consuming presence enough to weaken my knees. He licks his lips, drawing my attention to his mouth. “You did say you wanted to grow something between us. We have some catching up to do, princess.”
Oh my fucking goddess. Please help me. I don’t know what’s going through my body, but I might give in. All either of them would have to do is ask me. I’m fully ready to see if any of this could be possible with them.
Slater releases a deep groan, shifting closer to me. Reaching up, he tucks my hair behind my ear. “You’re testing my restraint, Eliana. I ache to give in to what your body wants. What your heart desires.”
I shudder a breath, shivering at his closeness. How Ravi cages me against Slater as if they’re silently challenging each other with me in the middle. “We shouldn’t,” I finally manage to say. “If I ask, I know you’ll give in, and then...”
“You will not have to worry about that. There will be no asking from either of us until you truly want it. Because if we ask and you say yes...things will get more complicated, considering your condition.” Slater whispers his words, his voice low, deep, and sensual.
“I’ll knock you up, princess. There is no doubt in my mind. It’s all I want. All I can think about. Once you let me slide inside you...” Ravi moans, his words dampening my panties. “You’ll always have a part of me. You’ll be mine forever.”
I gasp and moan, the thought exciting yet terrifying. His words remind me of what Kellan said about him becoming obsessed with impregnating me, knowing someone else had, and I can’t help imagining my moment with Chase.
