“We want to claim you as ours, Little Omega. That has never andwillnever change,” Jamison vowed.
Thane clapped and released a whoop of excitement with a million-dollar smile curling his lips. “I vote yes. You’re stuck with us for life, Darling.”
I laughed. “Good. I want to be stuck.”
“I’m so damn glad we’re doing this.” Leo was up from his seat and across the room, scooping me up and swinging me in a circle before setting me back on my feet. Silver-blue eyes stared intently down into mine. “I love you, Honey, and I can’t wait until you’re wearing my mark.”
“I love you too.” I beamed.
Slightly more reserved, Knox narrowed his attention on Chaddrick Hurst. “Can you promise that we’ll be matched at the end of this process?”
The man steepled his fingers and tipped his head to the side. “As long as it’s what’s in her best interest.”
Hades looked a step away from pummeling the dude and ending the whole situationhisway.
With a sigh, Mr. Hurst appealed to their logic. “Look at it this way. If you are what she wants after looking at all her options, there won’t be anything standing in your way.”
“Why doesn’t that make me feel better?” Hades grumbled.
“I cannot give you an unequivocal yes because ultimately, the decision lies with Demi. But if you are scent-matched, as you say you are, there’s truly nothing to worry about.”
With a huff, Hades ignored the man and gave me his full attention. “You really want to do this, Baby Girl?”
“There’s no rush. We have time to think about this,” Knox reasoned.
“But,” Eli narrowed his eyes on the two hold-outs. “We’re on your side, no matter what, Love. The decision is yours,” he promised.
For once in your life, trust yourself.
Glancing at each of them, I nodded. “Yes. I want to make you mine, as long as you’ll all still have me?”
Jamison surged forward and scooped me up, hugging me to his chest as the rest of my mates surrounded us. “No more doubts, Sweetness. When this is over, you’ll never question our intentions again.”
With a kiss to the top of my head, Knox strode over to the director, who stood and took his outstretched hand. “We have one thing in common, Mr. Hurst. We all want what’s best for Demi. But make no mistake, we intend to prove that’s us.”

DEMI
The OMA officewas modern and comfortable, but I couldn’t stop myself from freaking out, regardless. Located a few towns over, the hour-long ride had been stressful. My guys were tense, and though they tried to remain upbeat, their scents belied their anxiety. I was a mess of nerves and nausea by the time we arrived later that afternoon, freshly showered and dressed.
“Everything is going to be okay, Darling,” Thane promised as we sat in the cushy waiting room. His hand collared the back of my neck, squeezing with just enough dominance to ease my growing panic. I basked in his chocolate and caramel scent, letting the warm notes remind me I wasn’t alone.
My mates surrounded me, either sprawled in chairs or pacing the lobby. I took comfort from their nearness and focused on my breathing.
“C’mere,” Thane commanded. Pulling me into his lap, he braced my back against his arm as I curled up sideways and rested my head on his chest. “We’re not going to let anything bad happen to you. You’re safe,” he murmured. “And when we leave heretogether, you’ll finally be free. We won’t have to hide anymore.”
“That sounds too good to be true.” I wanted to trust it, but until I walked out of here with my name officially attached to theirs, I’d hold my breath.
“It does. But it’s happening. And you know what?”
“Hmm?”
“When this is all over, we’re going to take you on a date.”
I perked up, lifting my head and gazing down into his sparkling cerulean gaze. “A date?”
“Absolutely. You deserve it, Darling. You’ve been so damn brave and strong. I think a little pampering and a good time on the town is overdue.”
