Okay, Knight. Time to get this shit done.
Sighing, I crack my neck and dive back into my work, buckling down and finishing up the few design issues my team had brought up and dealing with the bugs that were brought to my attention. I love what I do, but all the design issues and bugs that pop up are the worst when I take too long to fix them. I don’t know why this game is giving me such a shit-hard time, but that ends today.
A few hours later, I finally finish everything and send it all off to run through more tests. For now, I get a break. Once this game launches, I’m not doing fuck-all for a while. I want to give everyone the attention they need and deserve without spending days fixing software problems.
I stand, stretching out my tight muscles, and go in search of my tease of an alpha mate and our omega. Instead, I find Nico, my pack brother, and fellow alpha lounging around in the den, scrolling mindlessly on his phone. He looks up when he hears me enter and smirks.
“Finally emerged from your cave, I see.”
“Yeah. About fucking time, too. Pretty sure I was going to turn into my desk chair if I had to sit there any longer,” I grumble, heading to the fridge to grab a bottle of water.
He barks out a laugh.
“Where is everyone?” I ask, finally noticing how quiet it is as I peer into the fridge.
“The Omega Center called earlier today. Seems they needed some help at the ceremony tonight. Something about the event coordinator getting food poisoning or whatever. Kian went to fill in, and Syn went with him for moral support. River is probably still sleeping off the sex coma Syn put him in earlier.” He snorts when he says the last part.
I huff out a laugh, shutting the fridge with my leg as I crack open my water. “Syn came and told me what they got up to today. Apparently, our omega has been extra bratty lately since I’ve been working so much. She said she tied him up so he couldn’t touch her or pull any of his usual tricks to get what he wants,” I smirk.
Nico groans and throws his head back against the back of the couch.
“I always miss all the fun.”
“Where were you today? Clients?”
He puffs out a breath and runs his hand through his ink-black hair, the tattoos there still as remarkable as the day he tattooed them himself.
“Yeah, man. I had a difficult client come in. Honestly, I don’t even think she wanted a tattoo; I think she just wanted to get into my space and try to come on to me. She was extra flirty and kept trying to touch me. Hated every design I showed her. Finally, I told her she needed to leave after a couple of hours of jack shit. She wasted valuable time that I could have used elsewhere. Like here, torturing our omega with Syn.”
I chuckle and shake my head. “Try being locked in an office for thirty-plus hours straight, staring at a computer screen until your eyes nearly bleed.”
He scowls at me. “Fuck that, man. Your job sucks. At least I can kick people out and tell them to fuck off when they waste my time. You have to deal with software and, fuck, I don’t know, coding or some shit.” He shudders in disgust.
Nico has always been a kind of free spirit. As a tattoo artist, it works for him. He has his own shop and is his own boss. Not that I’m not my own boss, because I am. Which is why I get to work at home and design and build what I want, but still. If someone pisses Nico off, he gets to just tell them to get the hell out. I envy him sometimes. Other times, not so much.
“I’m going to go cuddle our omega and get some fucking rest. I haven’t slept in days. You gonna join us?” I ask.
He turns back to scrolling on his phone and nods.
“Yeah, I’ll be up soon. Just winding down for a few.”
I nod before heading upstairs in search of my omega. I follow the scent of coconuts and honeysuckle to my room and find him there, curled up under a mess of sheets and blankets. Syn and River’s scents consume the extensive area, and my cock works to immediately stand to attention. Oh, she’s going to get it when she gets back here. She did this shit on purpose.
Shaking my head, I strip out of my clothes and crawl under the sheets, wrapping myself around River’s naked back. My cock nestles against the seam of his ass perfectly. He groans in his sleepy haze, pushing back against me, but doesn’t wake up. As much as I’d love to wake him by spreading him wide and shoving my cock deep inside of him, I push it back, leaving him to rest. I breathe his scent deeply, feeling my body relax and my eyes close—just a little nap before I make up for all the time I’ve spent working.
My mind blanks in moments, and I doze off to my omega’s steady breaths and the scent of Syn and River together swirling around me.

Kian
I walk around the sizable ballroom, checking to ensure everything appears how it should, and that everything is running smoothly. I’d rather be at home with River. Waiting on Knight to finally leave his den and come fuck us in his bed after being so busy for so long. Instead, I’m back at the Omega Center, helping to make sure tonight’s ceremony for this year’s graduating omegas goes according to plan.
Of course, the room is done up beautifully—only the best for the omegas. Fairy lights twinkle around the room; sheer curtains delicately draped along the windows and walls; pieces of ivy interspersed within. The chandelier hangs proudly above, crystals hanging daintily from it and sparkling as the lights hit them. The tables all have beautiful centerpieces with bouquets of lilies and baby’s breath wrapped together, sitting in crystal vases. Soft music tinkles around the room for the time being until the band starts up later.
An area designated for dancing sits off to the opposite side of the tables. Omegas will eat and dance with their packs, and later, Director Khan will call the omegas up, listing off a few things about them before declaring them graduates and sending them off. It’s just one big going away party for them all, really.
Everything shines and gleams, freshly buffed and polished just for today’s event. The delicious scents of garlic and herbs waft in from the kitchen, causing my stomach to rumble and making me realize I forgot to eat lunch today. I sigh. It’s going to be a long evening.
