Aunt V rolled her eyes at us then waved us away with an annoyed, “Alphas.”
“Oh shit! I almost forgot!” Hazel winked at Valentina before joining us behind the bar. Reaching for a purse, she pulled out a wrapped up brownie. “For you! It’s the last one.”
“Oh, you’re my savior,” Valentina said, snatching the brownie and dancing away as she unwrapped it and dug in.
“She is going to be difficult when it comes time to leave.” Maximo pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. Our omega was a bit of an enabler; her and Valentina were quite the pair together.
“She asked if I made it from stuff from the shop,” she said with a good-natured shrug, leaning on the bar between us. “But thank you guys for coming to help us. It was a bit crazy.”
“How crazy?” Maximo asked. He reached for her and pulled her against his front.
Hazel snuggled into him and laughed, which totally made me jealous. “We live less than a five-minute walk from the bar, and it took us thirty minutes to get here because they’re all light weights.”
I chuckled, imagining those four omegas stumbling down the sidewalk to the biker bar. Right then, Zaven joined us, looking tired, but when Hazel grinned and called out his name, pulling from the alpha’s hold to tackle him, I saw him smile.
“Did I just see you give Valentina a brownie?” Zaven asked into her hair, and Hazel chuckled. The next breath that escaped Zaven was a long sigh, and I wanted to echo the same. The easy way he held her made my chest tighten. He’d had such a hard time accepting Maximo and me when we’d met, I had been a little worried that he would fight this connection with Hazel. But there was just something about her that just seemed to pull all of us.And the twins.
It should feel weird adding them to our dynamic, but it didn’t. Maybe it was because I had known them for years or the fact that they were Maximo’s brothers… Either way, with Hazel, they fit. Of course, we’d only had one group date, but it seemed to be working out. Thinking of the twins… “Your brothers are going to be upset they missed this,” I said to my best friend.
Maximo smirked. “Serves them right after the video call.”
I groaned, wishing I’d seen what he had. Maximo told us all about it as we fucked Zaven that night. Hazel in the hot tub with the betas. Naked. Teasing about a sex store, tattoos, and sex… Fuck, I couldn’t think about this if I wanted to make it through the rest of the night.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Hazel looked at us wide-eyed before she started giggling.
“Hazel!”
We all turned to find Loki approaching us with a concerned expression. “Hey, Trickster. What’s wrong?”
All of us exchanged curious and jealous expressions at her greeting for the other alpha, but the man paid it no mind, pointing at the women’s restroom. “Your friend Sienna needs help, I think. One of the old ladies saw her in the bathroom. She didn’t look like she was feeling the best.”
“Shit,” Hazel cursed with feeling, then she was pulling away from Zaven, running through the crowd to the bathroom.
Valentina rushed over, likely having seen Hazel taking off. “Where’s the fire?”
“Something with her friend Sienna,” I said, my focus completely on the bathroom.
Bane nodded at the three of us. “I’ll keep an eye on them both.”
“We’ll keep an eye on Eliza,” Maximo told him seriously. I nodded in agreement as Aunt V left to approach the other girls. Right as they began speaking, Hazel rushed out, her expression serious. She spoke with her friends before coming over to grab Zaven’s hand.
“I need you to walk with me.”
“Where?” His brow furrowed as he took off the apron Valentina had forced on him.
“I need to get something from my apartment for Sienna,” she said vaguely before pinning Maximo and me with a stare. “Make sure no one goes in that bathroom that isn’t myself or my friends. They can use the men’s room.”
Without another word, Hazel and Zaven were gone. I was confused until someone tried to open the door, then it hit me.Heat. Out of nowhere, Sienna had gone into heat. We had been around her all night, and there were no signs, nothing in her scent to hint she was going into heat.What the hell?!
“I’ll guard the door.” The offer came from the enforcer that had been keeping a silent, keen eye on Eliza all night. He immediately headed that way, not waiting for a word back from us, and set up guard at the door. Another beta from the club joined him a moment later.
“She didn’t smell like she was going to go into heat,” Maximo rumbled, echoing my earlier thoughts.
“What set her off to go from nothing to full on heat?”
“It could be a person?” Maximo proposed, but it didn’t feel right when he said it. The whole situation felt… off. I didn’t know what was going on, but heats just didn’t happen without build up.
Tension built for the next twenty minutes until Hazel and Zaven burst back into the bar, the former heading straight for the bathroom with a bag in her hand. Zaven had a dazed, concerned expression on his face. Maximo and I wiped our hands with the nearby bar towels, eager for an update.
