My father was more like a politician. He cared about his image and nothing more. He let everyone else run his business for him at this point. I wasn't sure why he was so adamant about including me when he wasn't even doing it himself.

"Fuck him," Colt said. His hands were curled into fists as he paced back and forth between us. "I never thought I'd see anyone stand up to him like that. And we fucking did." He sounded like he was running on adrenaline.

"He doesn't get to insult her like that," Vince said. "I'm glad he fucking left. I'm ready to get back to our omega, I don't give a fuck if we walk away on good terms."

"Maybe we should part ways," Sawyer pointed out. "Why deal with this?"

"It's not that simple," I reminded him. "He can't let us go anyway. We make him too much money. We're invaluable to him and he fucking hates it, so he pushes back because he feels like it gives him control."

"Fuck that, we've done this all ourselves," Vince protested.

"No shit," Oaks protested. "I'm pretty sure we're the only group that hasn't had complaints. We bring in twice the money as the other crews."

"We do," I confirmed. "But if we branch out, we're alone. We have to do both this and the business side. It'd be like building from the ground up. I'd rather spend that energy on our omega. If he can behave and let us handle things, then it's a win-win."

I didn't see my father again until we successfully made it back to the dock. My betas stepped off first but my father lingered, waiting for me.

There was a begrudging respect in his eyes as he glared at me. I held out my hand for my father, waiting for him to shake it.

"Do we have an understanding? This vessel is ours without the babysitting. We continue to do the numbers and respect your rules but you will not speak to me in front of my pack like that again and you will not speak ill of my omega. I'm happy with where my life is. We are successful and I have more money than I know what to do with. I don't need more than that. It's either this or nothing."

My father eyed me for a moment before reluctantly putting his hand in mine.

"This doesn't mean you get free rein."

"We never did," I said. "We will still submit what we need to your teams but you won't do this again." My voice was firm and he didn't look back as he walked off the ship. It was his way of agreeing and showing his distaste for it. My father could dislike it all he wanted. This was a reality he'd have to embrace. I wasn't backing down and it seemed he was finally realizing that.

I joined the guys on the dock and we walked back to our car. I hated leaving Serenity like this, especially when we didn't know what could happen. I felt like she was vulnerable back there and the alpha inside of me was urging me to move faster.

The moment we drove away from the harbor our phones started dinging.

"I have a missed call," I said, handing it over to Colt since I was driving. He put it on speaker, playing it. Amos's desperate voice filtered through.

"It was my brother. He showed up and Jackson nearly killed him but we stopped him. The police came and carted him off," he started, the entire SUV filling with our curses. We just realized what we'd done. "The stress put her in heat. We need you guys back. Now."

"Fuck, when was that?" Vince asked, his voice full of anxiety.

"Two hours ago," Colt said. My stomach churned at the thought. My omega needed me and I wasn't there. That was unforgivable.

I broke every speed law there was to get to our house. The moment I pushed through the front door, I could smell her.

“I’m coming, sunshine!”

Serenity

When I woke up again it was to the smell of almonds, cherries, and the mix of all of the Sulley Pack. I let out a sob, my eyes popping open. My head was spinning as I sat up, but Isaac was there to steady me.

"I'm so sorry, sunshine," Isaac said, his hand rubbing my back.

"We're here now," Colt reassured me, his lips trailing over my shoulder.

Oaks and Sawyer moved in closer, each of them giving me a quick kiss as Vince's hands trailed over my skin. They were all back.

Isaac started to speak again, more apologies, but I didn't want his words.

"No more," I rasped out as I straddled his lap, glad to find he was already naked. They knew the moment I woke up that I'd need them, and they were right.

There were no more words spoken as I claimed my alpha, nipping at his bottom lip before kissing him deeply. My wet pussy rocked over his hard cock as his hands wrapped around my waist. He lifted me up and sank me down on his cock. We both let out a sigh of relief. I didn't need any more encouragement to take what was mine, bouncing on his cock and chasing my own pleasure.
