The thing that pisses me off most?
Scorpio’s right.
All the dads are right.
I’m not good enough for the guys. But goddamn it. They’re already mine and I’m not giving them up, even if I’m a shameful fucking disaster.
They are mine.
After a mission, we always reconvene in the kitchen to decompress, but when I walk into the room, the tension thickens until it feels like I’m drowning.
Even Finn is stressed, twisting a fisted hand like he’s hitting the gas on his bike.
The same Finn who, after barely surviving a spray of gunshots to the chest, asked the doctors to stitch him up so his scars healed like a shark bite.
That Finn is so serious he’s tweaking.
“Just tell me.” I lean against the back of a tall barstool, braced for the blow I know is coming.
I try to meet Atlas’s eye, to pick up a hint, or the tiniest bit of reassurance, but he turns away.
Rejection washes over me hard. I grip the stool until my knuckles crack.
How bad is it if he can’t even look at me? “Are the dads making me leave the pack?”
“What? No!” Atlas’s head snaps up.
“It’s fucked that you think we’d let that happen, O,” Hunter says.
I shrug.
What am I supposed to expect after years of comments from the dads? Years of them throwing other omegas in my mates’ paths? Jamming fucking Craig into our house and our lives.
I knew something bigger was coming.
“They’re sending us an omega. A female,” Jett hisses. The hate in his voice is the only thing that keeps me from spinning off into space.
“You agreed to this?” I see nothing but Atlas, my big strong pack leader who only shuffles his feet.
I wonder if I should walk away.
I mean, I can’t, we’re bound and they’re it for me forever. But would they all be happier if me and my hormones just fucked off and never came back?
“Kind of,” Hunter says, breaking the tension. “We screwed up the mission. Scorpio gave us an ultimatum. It’s her or a permanent vacation.”
“And you chose her.” My voice sounds miles away. That’s probably the only reason they don’t realize I’m panicking, my breathing high and shallow, a soft whine building that I’ll kill myself to suppress.
They chose her.
Of course.
Of course they chose her and not me.
“She’s not awakened,” Atlas says like that should numb the knife cutting open my spinal column. “We can’t take a break when we’ve pissed off the cartel. I made it clear we won’t bite her and we can kick her out at any time. For any reason. It’s a temporary evil.”
“I’m just supposed to stand aside?” Watch her pant over Atlas and charm the guys with her magical omega vagina?
“I say we have fun with her first.” Finn’s sparkle is another brick to my face. “Then cut her loose. She’s gotta be a bitch if she’s signing up to poach mates.”
