With one last kiss on my forehead, we say goodnight, and she heads to bed with my dads, closing the door softly behind her. I fall back on my bed and stare at my ceiling for a few minutes—what a day.
Getting up, I quickly find a change of clothes, getting out of the clothes I put on when I changed from the ceremony. I climb between my sheets and turn on my side, staring into the night sky and letting the stars help me drift off to sleep. I dream of a female alpha and a sexy beta ravaging me while a faceless omega watches by my side.

I watch as guilt flashes through Syn’s eyes. My omega brain is screaming at me, wanting me to get up and throw the biggest fit I’ve ever thrown while simultaneously wanting to climb back on top of her and burrow myself so deep inside of her we’d become one person. I try to think rationally.
I know Syn. She’s my alpha. I love her, and she loves me. Whatever that look is, her mind is making it out to be worse than it is.
I just can’t figure out why she’d feel guilty. Her and Kian hooking up with another omega behind my back isn’t even a concern. I know they would never do that to me. Besides, the intoxicating scent of blackberry cheesecake is faint, not nearly as strong as I would have liked- like they’d spent time close to the omega and the scent just fell around them. And that reaction right there is strange in itself. Me, practically going feral over the perfume of another omega.
It’s unheard of to see an omega-omega pairing. I mean, I suppose it’s a possibility. The world is changing. It’s strange because although we can interact with each other generally with no issues, we are definitely territorial over our mates and nests. To imagine another omega in my nest is unfathomable.
Then that scent hits me again, and I rethink. Maybe this one could be in my nest, especially if I get a taste. I can just imagine their taste with how mouth-watering their scent is. I feel warm, like my heat is nearing, but that’s impossible. I’m not due another heat for several more months. I’m just incredibly aroused at the idea of this omega in my nest at my mercy.
Kian clears his throat, reaching up and rubbing the back of his neck. I raise a brow at him, and he flushes, but still offers me a smile.
“It’s not too bad, really. There was an omega at the ceremony, unattended. She ran into Victor and appeared to need some rescuing. Syn stepped in and helped her escape him since it didn’t seem like anyone else was concerned.” Kian is the first to speak.
Her. So, it’s a female omega. I’m even more intrigued now. I wonder what she looks like. Is she pretty? What is she like?
Well, that doesn’t sound too bad. Why is Syn looking like a kicked puppy over something like that? It shows how caring of an alpha she is to protect a lone omega. Especially from Victor. Nasty alpha, that one.
I glance back at Syn and see a frown on her lips. “What’s wrong? That’s not such a big deal. It just reinforces why I love you so much. You’re the perfect alpha. You have a big heart, even if you want everyone but us to think it’s made of ice.” I tease.
“It’s not that, really. It’s-,” She pauses, a crease forming between her brows. Knight runs a hand down my bicep, purring and soothing me.
She sighs and continues, “It’s the reaction I had to her when I caught her scent, River. It was like finding you all over again. I don’t understand what’s going on. I nearly went wild. Kian had to drag me from the room and find an empty office to calm me down.”
My eyes widen, my mouth parting and forming an ‘O’. Knight tenses behind me.
“What?” He barks out.
Kian talks before Syn can continue, looking at Knight.
“It wasn’t just her, man. I was affected, too. Not nearly as strong as Syn, since I’m not an alpha, but enough. She was two tables away, and her scent still made it to us over all the others. I don’t understand it any more than Syn does. It shouldn’t have been a problem. We have you, River, and we don’t want anyone else, I swear. I doubt we’ll ever see her again, anyway. We walked her to the dorms to ensure she was safe, but since she wasn’t being courted by a pack, nor had she chosen one, she was going back to her parents. We only know her name.”
“What is it?”
It pops out before I can even think. But I want to know, so I won’t take it back.
“Ripley. Ripley Jacobs,” Syn whispers.
Her gaze goes far away for a minute before she shakes her head, her brows furrowing in anger this time over her reaction to this omega. It is strange. I should want to hunt her down to make sure she understands that I have a claim on Syn and Kian. Like some crazy person, even though she has done nothing wrong. I don’t want that, though. I want to find her. I want to see how they react to her with my own eyes. And I want to know how I react to her in person.
I bite my lip, contemplating. They’d all have to be on board with that, not just Syn and Kian. I’d have to see how Knight and Nico feel on the matter, but ultimately, it’s really how I feel about it. And what I feel is curiosity and... a hunger that I haven’t felt since I bonded with my alphas and my beta. I want to meet this omega.
“It’s too bad,” I say airily.
“What is?” Syn asks, confusion lacing her words.
“That you don’t want to see her again. I think I’d like to meet her. She smells... delicious.” I lick my bottom lip, smirking, and Knight growls behind me, nipping my ear.
Syn and Kian’s eyes widen in surprise.
“But-wha-... River, why on earth would you want to meet her? We just told you that your alpha and beta had an intense reaction to another omega. You should be screaming at us or- or- something.”
