“I mean, if you’re sure . . .”

“I’ve never been more sure.”

“Well, alright. Thanks.”

Franklin took Victor’s black card and turned to go back inside. At the doorframe,he paused. “We’ll just pack up some things and be out of your hair.”

“Take your time.”

“Thank you.”

After his father left, Dell looked at Declan and Victor. “You didn’t have to do that.”

“We know, but we wanted to. It looks like they both could use some relaxation.”

Dell blew out a breath. “Yeah, it’s been rough here.”

“I thought as much. Declan?”

“Got it. Here’s my card. Same as the one Victor gave your father. Please use it. I didn’t want them to feel bad, but money isn’t a concern. We own a business and it is doing well. Please, treat them.”

“My parents might be too proud to accept the help, but I’m not,” Dell said. “They really need a break. Thank you so much for this.”

“You are very welcome. And like I said before, your sister is safe with us.”

“I trust you. Thank you.”

Dell left to go get the family’s car, and Declan looked at me. Let’s go grab some of the luggage. I think Storm and Riley are going to want all they can get to make a nest.”

“Yes, let's,” I agreed as we walked to the car. “What, um, what do we need to do to take care of an omega in heat?”

Declan sighed. “I’m not going to lie to you. It’s going to be a lot. Riley and Storm may be marshmallows normally, but in heat, omegas are demanding. Everything has to be just right. And it is extremely important when we get up there that we do not enter the bedroom until they invite us. Each of us individually.”

“Yes, of course.”

Declan stopped unloading bags and turned to me. “I also need you to know that Victor and I do not like you any less. You are our beta, our first love. If it seems like we are not giving you enough attention, tell us.”

“Oh, no, I realize they will need more right now . . .”

“I don’t care! Ryan, you are just as precious and important as they are. If you need anything from us, tell us. We will do everything we can to meet your needs.”

I smiled happily. “Okay, alpha. Thank you.”

Declan grinned then dipped his head to steal a kiss from me. I wrapped my arms around him and threaded my fingers through his hair, holding him close. I loved their kisses. This one ended far too soon for my liking and I pouted.

“None of that,” Declan said, tapping my lip with his finger. “There’s plenty more where that came from. But for now, let’s get these upstairs to the girls. I have a feeling it’s about to get heated.”

I snorted at his silly joke but grabbed as many bags as I could. Victor and Declan grabbed the rest. We headed inside just as her parents were coming out, a single duffle bag between them.

“I know it’s been said a lot, but please, take care of her and Storm,” Sofia said.

“You have my word,” Victor said to her.

She gave him a half smile, her eyes still filled with worry. Then, with a glance upstairs to where I was assuming Riley’s window was, she and her husband hurried over to the car that Dell had brought to the front. They climbed in and he took off, taking them to the hotel.

Victor looked at me. “Ready?”

“As I’ll ever be . . .”
