“What… Why are you so happy, Polly?” I asked when we were safe in the carriage and making our slow way home. “I’ve not seen you so relaxed…”

She blushed. My omniscient and mysterious sister, who’d more lovers than I’d fingers or toes, blushed.

“Polly!” I couldn’t help the joy that crept into my voice. Her scent! The freshness of mint and a clear winter morning took on a sweeter aspect.

“I… There is perhaps… It isn’t what you think. Not now,” she waved her hands as if batting away my curiosity as she might shoo away a fly. “Tell me, though. You and your mates reconciled. I must say I was surprised to learn you permitted them to sleep in your nest so soon after denying them.”

“That is none of your business, sister,” I warned her.

“Do they mind that you kick? Remember we shared a bed as girls. I’ve memories of the bruises to this day.”

“You wish to change the topic. Well and good… Mama came to the house yesterday. I have learnt all. How she threatened Jack with an accusation of rape.”

“What?” she growled. “That I did not know.”

“It is done. She is barred from my house. Don’t growl like that, sister,” I warned her. “I doesn’t concern you. Nor does it answer your question. Simply, we are beginning to understand each other. Pax bought me pistols.”

Polly laughed. “He ain’t a fool then.”

“None of that alpha cant, Hippolyta.”

She smirked. “You should be proud that I am complimenting your alpha.”

“Oh Polly, you say I was riding for a fall with my mates… Look to yourself before you find a pack of alphas unwilling to let you go.”

“I’ve no need of an alpha.” Her blush returned. The only one I could think of was Jude, the beta had waited patiently outside the modiste and now rode with the driver… Yes, Jude was the one who gave my sister this new life, and Goddess but she deserved every happiness he brought her.

I waited in the drawing room, surrounded by priceless paintings, and felt dull and ugly compared to how Pax and Jack made me feel. How strange that a single glance from either one of them gave me confidence in myself I’d never known possible. Years of hiding behind too bold decisions in order to run, for that is what it has been, running from my own disgust at myself. That I was the wrong kind of omega. One who had gambled her virtue away, only to be abandoned by her mate. Only it was more complicated than that. My parents had worked against us

The cream coloured silk clung to my curves in a way that made me self conscious. I wasn’t like Viola, with her long legs and lithe body. I was short, curvier, and infinitely more omega…

“Alpha,” I gasped when I saw us in the mirror. His right hand flexed around my throat. It was just there to remind me of his power. It made me feel so safe. “I want your knot,” I begged.

“Not yet, little Vixen. I’ll give you my knot when I’m ready. And then you will be mine.”

My cunt squeezed down on the welcome invasion. I wanted to weep at the pleasure just his words could inspire in me.
