ALEXIS

The thick fog of arousal slowly lifted as Antonio’s words finally penetrated my brain. I stiffened in his arms.

“What?” I whispered. Rage slowly began to course through my veins.

I was no one’s omega. Much less one that went into heat and begged for cock or cum.

No fucking way. That was not happening. Not now or ever. With the haze of a potential heat gone, I could now rationally say that. I could process the situation before me and realize how off the rails I was.

And what had almost happened.

Did I want it to happen? Or was it just all the heat? My thoughts were jumbled, and my emotions were out of whack as the hormones raced through my bloodstream.

Antonio and Miko chuckled, seeing the confusion and horror probably written all over my face. “It’s okay, Angel.” Antonio gave me his megawatt smile and smoothed back my hair.

Placating me.

Nope. Not happening. It had always worked when we were teens, but it wouldn’t work now.

With an annoyed huff, I pushed away from Antonio and scrambled to my feet. I immediately mourned the loss of his body heat and the closeness of his scent.

He let me go. I know he did. And it just pissed me off even more.

No, Alexis. You have to be strong. Don’t give in to these alphas just because they smell nice.

But don’tyou remember how talented Antonio was with his fingers and tongue? And that glorious cock?

Fucking hell, now was not the time to be thinking about this shit. It only made me want them more. How would Miko react? Would he be as talented and as dominating as Antonio? Probably even more. But he was submissive to Antonio. That much was certain.

The head of the Cavalori was the alpha in every way.

“Alexis,” Antonio rumbled with his brows raised. “You can fight it all you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that you were mine years ago, and you’re still mine.”

The conviction in his voice made me flinch and drop my gaze. The truth was, he broke me ten years ago. I didn’t know who I was for so many years. I was utterly lost.

Fuck, I was still lost. Hacking kept me sane most days, but my inner omega had withered and died without him. I wandered in a sea of emptiness, just surviving the days from when I woke until I went to sleep again.

A hollow and lonely existence.

“You left me.”

The small confession hung heavy in the air.

Pain blossomed over Antonio’s face for a fraction of a second before it hardened. He shook his head. “I had no choice. They would have killed you. I did what I had to. To protect you.”

Miko kept his mouth shut, but fury radiated from his body as he climbed off the bed. He barely looked at me, his jaw clenched, and his hands balled into fists.

Annoyance radiated off of him as he glanced at me. Then he shook his head. “You have no fucking clue, Robin.”

“What?”

“Miko, enough.” Antonio was off the bed in a flash and strode to the door. “Alexis, please be ready for dinner at five pm, and we will discuss what will occur this week.”

They left the room without another word, slamming the door behind them.

I startled, my heart racing as I tried to piece together what just happened.
