“Oh please, no blushing over liking to shop. We’re experts at spending money here,” River said, waving off the other alpha’s hesitation.
“Oh, do they have leather jackets?” I asked. “I always wanted to own one. Maybe I can see what they have and save up.”
“They do,” Nash agreed, “but Yuri might kill us if we don’t follow his plan.”
“Oh, my cousin is working on that whole rigid structure thing. Leather shop, then jewelry, then you turn us loose in the clothing shops,” River challenged.
“Sold!” I grinned. “Lead the way, Nash.”
We followed the tattooed alpha through the crowd and into Iron and Leather. The store was much bigger than I anticipated, and it smelled amazing inside. It looked like they carried everything from belts to boots.
“Oh, we should all get one. You think Loki would take issue if we started our own biker gang?” River joked as they pulled on a fringed leather jacket that only they could pull off.
“You’d need a bike for that,” I pointed out. “We would just be a stylish pack.” They grinned as I pulled on a form-fitting jacket that was cinched at the waist. It hugged what small curves I had and felt great, so I walked over to the mirror.
“It’s perfect. Let me buy it for you?” Nash purred in my ear. “Then you can pay me back by letting me peel it off you and fucking you next time you wear it.”
I bit my lip as a surge of heat spread through me. Yeah, that idea would do quite nicely.
“Oh, you getting me one too, big boy?” River teased They obviously weren’t expecting anything, but Nash surprised us both by plucking River’s out of their hand, then mine off of me, and taking it all up to the counter. I had no chance to protest, and River could only laugh with delighted shock. Nash threw a new belt and something else on the pile before paying.
“You’re getting better at this, Sienna,” Yuri said gently. I glanced over at him and swallowed hard. In truth, them making purchases for me still made me uncomfortable, but when Nash turned around with the happiest smile on his face, I let it fall away.
This was what it felt like to be in a pack, to take care of each other.
Maybe I could get used to this.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Sienna
Neon Nights was almost unrecognizable. Hazel and Teagan had put up all the decorations, and there was a full buffet set up.
What I hadn’t expected was for Loki to shut the club down for the night to host our private party, though I definitely wasn’t going to complain about the lack of handsy patrons.
Usually, we only saw a member or two of the MC at a time, or just Loki and Bane, but now the club was crawling with men in leather jackets.
And they were all here for Eliza. She was living a whole new life that we barely knew, it felt so strange how far apart we could grow, yet staying close friends. I guess that was adulting in a nutshell. Hazel was too. Her pack was amongst them talking with ease to all the people there.
A motorcycle club and the mafia… who would have thought?
The music was already blaring, but our birthday girl was missing, which provided the perfect opportunity for my other besties to pounce on me while we waited.
“How is the pack?” Teagan questioned. “Who has the biggest dick?”
“Oh my god, Teag!” I hissed, glancing behind me to see if my guys heard. From the red faces and choked laughter, theydefinitelyhad.
“You can’t ask that when they’re right here,” Hazel said before dragging me away from my pack. “But really, bestie, how are you holding up? I know it’s overwhelming sometimes, and I can’t even imagine how it is with so many alphas and no previous experience…”
“I think the most overwhelming part is letting them do shit for me.” I groaned. “And I didn’t think early heat was a thing when you formed a pack, but they swear I smell like it. They won’t even let me leave without using scent blockers.”
Hazel’s eyebrows dipped down in concern. “Not to alarm you, Si, but youdidget drugged with Rapture. Some of the omegas in THC would get more frequent heats outside of the norm,” she explained. “Did you talk to your doctor?”
“Not since that first visit,” I admitted. “Do you think it’s permanent?”
“I don’t know, but you haven’t had many other issues since. Maybe it’s just a temporary thing? Every girl reacted differently. I don’t have additional heats, but they arewaymore intense than they’re supposed to be.”
“Let’s not worry tonight. It might not even happen,” I said quickly, refusing to let my anxiety bubble up to the surface. “I’ll talk to my doctor this week, okay?”
