The heat still simmers within me, a reminder of my omega nature, but it’s tempered now, satisfied by the shared passion ofthese incredible men. I’m enveloped in a cocoon of warmth and care, a sense of belonging that goes beyond the physical.
In this moment, I realize the true depth of our bond. It’s not just about the fervor of the heat. It’s about the connection, the trust, and the unbreakable ties that bind us together. We are more than just bodies intertwined, we are hearts and souls in unison, a pack bound by something far stronger than mere physical need.
With a contented sigh, I let my eyes drift closed, surrendering to the embrace of post-bliss fatigue. As sleep claims me, I feel the gentle touch of a hand on my shoulder, a silent reassurance of their presence, their promise to always be there. In the arms of my pack, I find more than just pleasure—I find home.
CHAPTER 29
Seraphina
Time loses its meaning,dissolving into a blur. The world beyond our intense connection fades, leaving nothing but the raging heat that sweeps through us. It shatters every last shred of caution, mine included, but maybe it’s just the hormones whispering enticing notions.
This is what a pack embodies—love and security in each other’s embrace.
Something feels off though. Deep in my bones, a sensation stirs, an inkling nudging me out of my heat-induced haze. Gaining a sliver of awareness, I pry my eyes open. Not to the fog of heat, but to clear consciousness.
I can’t tell how much time has passed—hours, days, or maybe even a week—but that niggling warning persists in my veins, a whisper that something isn’t right. Blinking away sleep, I sit up, rub my eyes, and yawn, trying to anchor myself in reality.
Several sensations hit me all at once. The first is the aftermath of our heat, a rather unglamorous scene. In the corner, a small pile of dirty, sticky, and stiff blankets lies abandoned. Surprisingly, there are only about three, fewer than I expected.
The second sensation strikes harder—I’m alone.
An eerie silence engulfs the nest, accentuating that this isn’t how a heat should end. With this realization, my consciousness tightens, pushing through the haze until I feel secure again. Even that thought, however, triggers a sharp cramp, a harsh reminder of the backlash from defying my biology.
Swallowing hard, I crawl over to a stack of water bottles against the wall. We’ve depleted just one out of the five cases, suggesting I’m only two or maybe three days into my heat. Omegas often experience three-day heats, but since I delayed mine, I should brace for at least three more days.
Frustration gnaws at me as I unscrew a bottle and gulp it down in one go. I’m parched—a clear sign my mates haven’t been attentive to my hydration needs.
Where are they?
Then I notice a phone beside the water bottles—Devlin’s phone. It’s a lifeline to the outside world, and right now, it feels like my sole connection to understanding what’s happening beyond this confined nest.
I hesitate for a fleeting moment before snatching it up. I tell myself that I’m just checking the time. That’s all, nothing more…
My finger jabs at the screen.
Two days. That’s all that’s passed.
A sense of unease washes over me. I unlock the phone, punching in the code I memorized just days ago, and navigate to the pack’s group message.
Avery:Breach at the north gate. The gate house security called the land line multiple times. They aren’t even there.
Max:What do you mean they aren’t there?
Avery:I said what I said. I’m not happy about it either, but I’m not going to force another delta to stand out there in this storm. There is five feet of snow outside.
Ashton:They found snowmobile tracks.
Max:How if there isn’t anyone out there?
Ashton:Think straight. Next time Seraphina falls asleep, get your ass down here. I’m not having a fight over text message.
Max:I’ll let Devlin know. He’s knotting right now and glaring at me.
Avery:And for the record, when the alarm sounded, they came out.
Ashton:Stop arguing. We have a bigger problem.
What the hell?What problem?
