“It’s here,” Heath reassured me. “That’s why we need to talk now.”

“You won’t be in your right mind,” Gage interrupted, as tactful as ever. “Not for the next five days. And during that time…”

He looked over at Heath for help.

“You’re going to beg us to fuck you in every way possible.”

“None of us will do anything you don’t want,” Flint reassured me. “We’ll know it’s the heat talking.”

“That’s why you have to tell us what you do and don’t want.” With an alpha snap in his voice, Gage added, “Now.”

I scoffed, looking from him to Heath. “What about the deal? You get to do whatever you want, remember?”

“No time to argue, princess,” Gage growled. “Say it. If you want me and Heath to sit this out—”

“No,” I growled, my wolf lunging inside of me.

I blushed as my body began heating up again. My three alphas just waited, listening.

“I… think I’ll need all three of you.”

Glancing over at Flint, I felt my whole body tense up. This was the first time I’d actually admitted out loud that I wanted them all, not just him.

Flint stepped forward to run a hand down my back, his fingers sliding through my long hair. “Whatever you need, moonbeam. You know I’m okay with it.”

I let out a long sigh. “This is really happening?”

It had been looming in the distance for weeks now, and it was hard to believe it was actually here. My wolf was bottled up, along with my magic. Why wouldn’t my heat also be stuck? Part of me had assumed this was a false alarm.

“Definitely,” Heath said. “No question.”

An unexpected sense of relief washed over me. In five days, one of the major threats hanging over my head would disappear — no need to worry about attracting rogue alphas. And Ironwood would have a more challenging time tracking me by scent as well.

“Two of us will stay with you at all times,” Gage said with as much detachment as if he were setting up their turns at watch. “One of us will go out to get food. You should rest now while you can and then eat to keep up your strength for what’s coming.”

I chuckled. “You make it sound like I’m about to turn into some kind of insatiable sex monster.”

Heath grinned. “You are.”

He stalked toward me on the bed, and I instantly tensed.

Gage straightened, squeezing my hand. “Freya…”

My pack alpha had sensed something even I wasn’t aware of inside of me. Reluctance.

Gage hooked his finger under my chin, pulling me to face him as he searched my gaze. “Do you want Heath to sit this one out? He will if you say the word.”

“No,” I whispered. “I just…”

I shook free of Gage’s grasp to face Heath.

“We just…” I shrugged. “I don’t know where we stand anymore.”

Heath nodded, his disappointed expression instantly disappearing behind a neutral mask. “I understand.”

Complicated feelings for him made tears well up in my eyes. My newly arrived heat made me feel like I was standing at the edge of a precipice.

I trusted Flint to catch me when I fell. Gage would break my fall with his own body if he had to. But could I trust Heath or not? I wanted to…
