It didn’t matter that she was covered head to toe in baggy clothes, no female had ever made me this hard. The smallest actions from her lit me on fire. Soft and warm one moment, fire and heat the next. I wanted to pin her down and show her what I could do to her, but I also wanted her to take whatever she wanted from me. For her, I would be a good boy.

I rarely even behaved for Gage. That was the power she had on me. She had my balls and my brain in a vise-grip, and she didn’t even realise it. Lavender was a sweet little flower that needed both protecting and ruining.

If it was only up to me, she would be ours.

Her little smashing rampage must have only lasted three minutes but when she had eviscerated the bedside table she stood in the middle of the room, leaving her weapon discarded on the floor, looking at me with wide eyes full of amazement as she panted deeply.

Vanilla and lavender bloomed in the air, more saccharine than usual. Resisting the urge to groan I took a deep breath. Fucking delicious.

“That is so fun!” She strode over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. Pulling me into her so her head was just under my chin, every sweet curve of her body pressed up against mine.

The last thing I was expecting was a hug, but I wasn’t going to complain. I quite liked having her in my arms.

She stiffened for a second, no doubt realising that I was supporting a monster boner, which was entirely her fault, but she relaxed only a fraction of a second later. Interesting.

“I needed this,” she admitted, looking up at me with a grin. “How much time do you spend in here?”

Weaving an arm around her shoulder I pulled her closer, refusing to let her break the hug. “It depends on the day. If I’ve been struggling, then a fair bit. I’m pretty sure I’ve destroyed half of the appliances thrown away in this town. A washing machine is good fun to smash as well, I’ll have to get you one.”

Her eyes lit up and her scent intensified at the prospect of doing this again. Fuck, she really was perfect for me.

“If any of the pack members are pissing you off or you just want to come here for fun, just ask. I’ll make it happen.”

“Thank you,” she said softly, finally breaking the intense eye contact. I wanted to whine at the loss as she gently pulled away, stepping back a few inches. She had felt so right in my arms, and I wanted her back.

“They seem like good packmates… when they’re not kidnapping omegas.”

“They are, they felt so bad after everything happened they built this place for me.”

“What exactly happened? If you don't mind me asking,” she rushed the last part, her voice wobbling.

I hardly spoke about it with the others, but with Lavender it felt easier, almost natural.

“I almost drowned. Fuck, I guess you could say Ididdrown.”

Lavender gasped, a frown marring her features. “What do you mean?”

“My heart stopped, I wasn’t breathing, so pretty dead. We were on a job, and it went belly up. The guy we were trying to find had some information we needed. I met them as a potential drug dealer, it was an easy in. They realised I wasn’t who I said I was so they knocked me out with a brick and threw me in a lake. By the time Kane got to me and pulled me out of the water, it had been five minutes.”

I let out a shaky breath. “Things… weren’t the same for a while after that. Everything felt so unbalanced. Before I had been so relaxed and easy going. Now I’m always on edge, quick to anger. I got into loads of fights with my pack. If it hadn't been for the accident they would have thrown me on my ass for how I behaved, but because of how it happened they feel guilty, like they should have gotten to me sooner and helped me before there was any damage.”

“Is there permanent damage?”

“We couldn’t exactly go to a hospital to find out for sure, but the doc checked me out. I can manage, but my brain has probably taken one blow too many.”

Lavender let out a noise of horror. “And I hit you with a lamp, over your head! Oh no, I am so sorry Theo.” Her hand raised to her mouth in shock. I couldn’t help but laugh at her concern.

“I think your reaction was more than fair considering we kidnapped you, I just didn’t expect that level of fire from you, but I must say I wasn’t disappointed. The omegas I’ve known were a lot more… calm in nature.”

“Are you saying I’m not calm?” Lavender chuckled.

“Oh, on the contrary, I feel rather balanced around youbutI wouldn’t call someone who clubs people over the head with lamps and throws things at Kane a calm person in general.”

Lavender pursed her lips in thought. “Okay, I accept that. I can sometimes behave like a feral racoon, but to be fair, you guys seem to bring out the worst in me!”

“The worst? Or the best?” I asked.

“I’m not sure, honestly,” she admitted with a small shrug. Her expression sobered. “I’m sorry that happened to you.”
