“But you have a nest in your house, why would you have that if you didn’t have an omega?”
“We hoped that one day we would have an omega, and in the meantime it was a comfort to Kane,” Gage admitted.
“But please, Lavender, just ignore Kane getting his panties in a twist,” Archer said. “He’ll get over it. How are you feeling?”
“Not great, but a lot less shitty than a few days ago… uh, thank you for that, by the way.”
Why was it so awkward to thank someone for cuddling you?
“If you need anything, please talk to us,” Gage said.
“I need Kane to take a long walk off a short pier, do you feel like helping with that?” I asked with a smirk. Archer laughed loudly and Gage just rolled his eyes.
“I miss peace and quiet,” he grumbled.
“Not my fault you kidnapped me!” I laughed, getting up with a stretch. Exhaustion was creeping up on me, and I needed to sleep or I would be impossibly cranky.
ChapterTwenty
Lavender
Iwas about to get up and go retrieve my comfy projectile when an intense cramp rippled through my midsection, making me bend at the waist. Clutching my stomach, I groaned in pain.
Shit. It’s happening.
I had noticed the warning cramps, but I had pointedly ignored them, as if pretending they didn’t exist would stop my heat from ever coming in the first place. The idea of a heat without my nest or familiar toys to get me through wasn’t pleasant at all.
It’s not like I could go wandering up to any of these alphas and ask them to procure me sex toys, they would look at me like I had grown three heads. Well Theo might cackle like a madman then get me some…
I shook that idea out of my head. I would have to make do by myself. It wasn’t going to be fun, and my heart could literally give out, but there wasn’t much more I could do.
Well, you could always go the old fashioned way and use some alpha dick. A small voice in the back of my head invaded my thoughts. I quickly shoved that down. I wasn’t that desperate. Yet.
Everything ached. My bones felt sore, my joints stiff and I could not, for the life of me, stop sweating. One second I felt boiling hot, I threw off my blankets and starfished on the bed. Then the next I was freezing, and nesting down in the blankets turning myself into a toasty burrito.
I didn’t know how much time had passed. I couldn’t focus on anything to do with my surroundings. For all I knew, an army of people could have trampled their way through my room and I wouldn’t have known.
Deep, gut wrenching cramps came and went, increasing in intensity every time. My eyelids were heavy. I was so goddamned exhausted. Every time I started to drift into the peaceful oblivion sleep offered, another cramp ripped through my body, and sleep would be long forgotten.

It could have been hours, or it could have been days. All I knew was pain and misery. My skin felt electrified, but not in a sexy way. It itched and ached at the same time.
Large, powerful hands gripped my forearms and hauled me up in a gentle manoeuvre. I felt my body moving, but didn’t bother opening my eyes.
“Come on, little nuisance, you need to eat,” the soft voice muttered. The rim of a water bottle touched my lips and I whined. I didn’t want water, I wanted knots! The buttery leather smell filling the air could only be an alpha, so why were they trying to give me water? I didn’t need water.
“Omega!” The voice growled, commanding. Powerless to deny an alpha I opened my mouth and drank, but I wasn’t fucking happy about it. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I realised that it was Kane holding me. I chalked it up to my brain being messed up thanks to the heat. There was no way he was the one handling me gently.
“Good girl,” he rumbled, taking the water away and bringing a sandwich up to my lips. I tried to turn and face him. I could convince him to knot me. I’m sure I could, if I tried hard enough. What alpha could resist an omega in heat?
Kane. That’s who. With one arm banded around my waist keeping me in place with my back against my chest he slowly fed me bites of sandwich, ignoring me whenever I grumbled.
Halfway through the sandwich I was sick of it. I hurt and he was doing nothing to help.
“Just knot me, goddamnit!” I growled.
Kane’s only response was to chuckle. Chuckle! Even that low vibrating sound in my ear made another rush of slick leak between my legs.
