Her eyes light up so bright it breaks my heart to say this next thing. “But I fear what I’ve done has ruined it all.”

Her face falls and she licks her lips. “Come inside and fill us in.”

Nodding gravely, I take her offered hand and follow her into the house. With each step, I feel dizzy, like I’m going to pass out.

Nash and Ledger are sitting on the couch when we enter the living room. They both jump to their feet with worried faces.

They both step toward me but I hold my hand up, stopping them. “Just wait.”

Stopping, they give each other a look then look back to me. “Willow, baby, what's wrong?”

Aubrey stands at my side. Not too far away but not as close as I need her. Swallowing hard, I decide to rip off the bandage. “I’m gonna just say it. I love you. All three of you. I tried telling myself going into this that it was only for my heats. That we would have some fun, and become good friends but that's not what happened. I fell hard for you. And now I can’t see my life without you. I want to be a part of this pack. I want to be your omega.”

I have tears spilling down my face at the look of hope and excitement in their eyes. “Fuck. Willow.” Nash runs a hand through his inky black hair. “You have no idea how much we’ve wanted to hear you say that. We love you too.” The admission makes me cry harder. “Baby, don’t cry.”

“We want you to be ours, Willow. Our omega, no one else,” Ledger says.

“That's the thing.” I take a shaky breath. “I don’t think that’s possible.”

“What do you mean?” Aubrey asks.

I can’t look at any of them when I say this. “When I went home to see my brother, I went into heat that night.” Shame washes through me. “I was so upset because none of you were there and I’ve been so excited to spend this heat with you.”

“That's okay,” Ledger says. “So you had this one alone. As much as it kills us, we will be with you for the next one.”

“That's the thing.” I lift my gaze to meet his and whisper this next part. “I didn’t go through my heat alone.”

Ledger's face morphs into anger and Nash’s jaw ticks. “Who?” Nash asks.

I lick my lips, trying not to pass out with how fast my heart is racing. God, I feel sick. “My scent matches.”

“Fuck!” Nash shouts, grabbing handfuls of his hair. “Fucking hell!”

“I’m sorry,” my voice breaks.

“You’re ours,” Ledger snarls. “Our omega. Not theirs.”

“I am yours. I am,” I cry. “I didn’t want this to happen. You have to believe me.”

“Who are they?” Aubrey asks, her voice a little too calm for my liking.

“Their names are Chandler and Dane.”

“How did you meet them?” she asks.

“I’ve known them my whole life.” I wipe the fallen tears. “They’re my dads’ friends.”

“What the fuck?” Ledger's face has a horrified look. “How old are they?”

“I think about my dads’ age. Maybe a few years younger. But, at least eighteen years older.”

“Holy fucking shit.” Nash scrubs his face. I hate that I’ve upset them all.

“How do you feel about this?” Aubrey asks me, still cool as a cucumber.

“I don’t know when it comes to them. I had a crush on them in the past, so being with them didn’t freak me out. They helped me through my heat.”

“I don’t want details.” Ledger shakes his head.
