“We came for you. You’re ours, Lilah.” Atlas’s voice drips pain that aches in my chest, our strained bond twinging from miles away. “We want to take you home.“
“Your omega’s home alone and probably tearing out his hair. That’s where you should be. Not here.”
It’s like the sky opens, turning Lilah gold with angel-blessed sunlight.
Somewhere, a heavenly choir bursts into song.
Fucking when has one of my mates ever stood up for me?
Lilah should loathe me.
If I hadn’t been drugged, if I could’ve gotten my shit together for five fucking seconds to explain to the guys what was going on, then she wouldn’t have had to spend what should’ve been a sweet first heat floating in a barrel.
They would’ve bitten her, and she and I would still be snuggled up in the same nest instead of locked in separate prison cells.
Finn growls something, but all I hear is Lilah’s answer.
“I’m not even mine. Go take care of Orion. Then you can book an appointment to see me like all the other alphas.”
“You don’t need other alphas,” Atlas growls. “Let us take care of you.”
“You can’t even take care of yourselves!”
It’s official.
Love her.
Want her forever.
“Lila—” Jett sounds like his soul’s falling out, but I have zero sympathy when it’s at least fifty percent his fault how things played out.
“Don’t call me that name.”
“We had a mission,” Atlas insists. “We had to—”
“You didn’t have to. You chose to. Shocking concept, but you chose to leave me and you chose to leave Orion.”
“Lilah.“ Hunter has that look like he’s about to drop an insight bomb, but he should’ve been the one to start this intervention instead of coming in on the clean-up crew.
“Learn to take care of the omega you already have.”
“We’re sorry.” Atlas rumbles. “Don’t do this to us.”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Way to make it selfish, asshole.
I know what Lilah’s going to do before she twitches. “You’re not sorry. You want to see me? Back of the line.”
She struts into the sunset, shaking her ass and leaving total fucking devastation in her wake.
Do I scream?
Give her a one-man standing O?
Long after she’s gone, the zombified guys finally drift back to the car. Hunter drags a dead-eyed Finn, shoving him into the back seat.
I pace.
