“What? There has to be a pizza place nearby!”
Her blush returned, but this time I could tell she was really embarrassed. “There isn’t. Not in this part of the town. And the one on the other side won’t deliver here.”
Understanding hit me like a ton of bricks. Her part of town wasn’t the best area. Obviously, the “better” restaurants wouldn’t get built here. The residents wouldn’t be the ones going out to eat.
“Well, that’s fine. We have the guys’ SUV. Let’s call in an order and by the time we get there to pick it up, it should be ready.”
“Will they let us take it?”
“Sure. We just won’t tell them beforehand,” she said with a wink. “Come on, Riles. Let’s go get some food.”
Still looking nervous, she agreed. I grabbed the keys from the counter and happily scribbled out a note.Gone to pick up pizza, back soon xoxo. We ran out to the Hummer, jumping in and taking off before anyone was the wiser.

Declan
Watching out of Riley’s window, I grinned as the girls took off in our SUV. They seemed to think that they were getting away with being sneaky and I found it hilarious. The Hummer had several trackers in it that connected to an app on Victor’s and my phones. We would find them no matter where they went.
Deciding to not tell the others for now, I stooped down to pick up the blanket I had come over this way for. Victor, Ryan, and I were separating all the different clothes and blankets into piles so that we could wash them easier. The entire house needed airing out.
“Ryan, did you find the washer and dryer?”
“No, I didn’t see one. They must use the laundromat I saw a few miles back on our way in here.”
“Well, damn. We certainly can’t go over there like this.”
I waved down my body. I was wearing as much as the other two were. Boxers. I had a feeling that even in this tiny town, they may have an issue with three men walking around in nothing but underwear.
“I can drive us over,” Victor suggested. “Maybe her brother has some clothes we could borrow for a few hours?”
“Borrowing the brother’s clothes, great idea. Driving, not so much.”
“What do you mean? Why?”
“The girls took the Hummer.”
“What?!” Victor charged over to the window, glaring outside where we had parked. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, almost as if he thought if he blinked, it would reappear. “Why would they do that?”
I shrugged. “Who knows? But they did. So, either we walk or we wait for them to come back.”
Victor sighed. “Alright. Let’s get the rest of these things sorted and then we can decide. Maybe they will be back from their little joyride.”
I chuckled but returned to sorting through the piles. By the time we had finished, a stark difference in the stacks was staring us in the face. Everyone’s piles were massive except for one. Our sweet, curvy omega had barely half of what any of the rest of us had. And that included her blankets and pillows. I couldn’t wait to spoil her senseless and cover her with anything that looked remotely good on her. Which would be everything. That girl was fucking gorgeous.
The girls hadn’t yet returned, so I went into the bathroom to grab a shower while the other two went downstairs to wait for them. When I entered the room, I flinched. In the drywall, right where I had Storm pressed, was a head-sized hole. I had apparently been a little rougher than I meant to.
Thankfully, with my knowledge, that was an easy fix. I jumped into the tub and turned the water as hot as it would go. The pipes clanged and banged for a few seconds before the tepid spray came from the showerhead. I’d look at that, too, before we left. I was halfway through scrubbing my body with Riley’s bar of soap when the water temperature suddenly dropped off.
I jumped around, trying to keep the freezing spray off me, but it was no use. Rinsing as quickly as I could, I hopped out and grabbed a towel from the rack by the toilet. The material was rough against my skin, and I shuddered to think how abrasive this must feel to our omega.
Omegas were notorious for needing and appreciating the softest of materials on themselves, but that came at a price. Knowing my sweet, violet-eyed beauty had been going without tore at my heart. It was obvious her family was doing everything they could, but they just didn’t have the opportunities here. An idea began formulating in my brain. I’d have to run it by Victor, of course, but it just might work. It would benefit the entire town, too.
Wrapping the towel around my shoulders, I pulled on my old boxers once again. I had nothing else, so they would do until we got to the laundromat. Jogging down the stairs, I found Victor staring at the front door, as if willing the omegas to walk through it.
“They will be fine, brother,” I said with a grin and a slap to his shoulder as I passed. I smirked. “Why don’t you go get a shower while you wait? You’ll feel better.”
He grunted but pulled his attention from the doorway. “Alright. Make sure Ryan has some more water. I don’t want anyone getting dehydrated.”
