That's fine, I wasn’t going to give them.

“What else?” Aubrey asks.

“I’m so mad, so, so mad. I didn’t want this, but I did ask for it and…”

Aubrey steps forward as I pull my hoodie down. “A fucking mate mark!” Nash shouts.

“I’m sorry!” I shout again, sobbing into my hands.

“Shhh.” Aubrey pulls me into her arms. “It’s okay.”

“No, it’s not. I lost you. I lost the best thing that's ever happened to me.”

“You love us?”

“Yes, so much it hurts,” I sob.

“You want to be with us, have us be your pack?”

“More than anything else in the world.”

“Then we can deal with everything else together. Because Willow, I love you, so fucking much it’s driving me crazy. I’m not letting you go. Scent matches or not, you're ours.”

Her words make me cry harder, because god, I really want them to be true.

Chapter Nineteen

AUBREY

Willow stands in our living room, her sobs filling the air, and my heart aches for her. I can't even begin to fathom the emotions she must be experiencing. She thinks she betrayed us and that our feelings have changed or will change now that we know. They won’t. I need this woman as desperately as I need oxygen to breathe.

“Nash, Ledger. We don’t think differently about our omega, do we? We want her just as bad today as we did yesterday, right?” My brows raise, and I shift my gaze toward the two alphas in question.

“No. I’m shocked. I won’t lie about that. I’m not mad though, and if you’ll have me, I still very much want to be your alpha,” Nash tells her.

“Blowpop, you’ve owned me since the first time I smelled you on Nash. You are mine, ours. Nothing changes that.”

"I really am sorry," Willow says, her voice trembling as she sniffles and wipes her tear-stained face with her sleeve.

I grab her face, forcing her to look at me. “You have nothing to be sorry for. Scent matches aren’t something you can control. The marking is a little weird. I'm honestly surprised that you still want us, considering you have scent matches.”

“You are the first and only people to see me for more than an omega. To see me as Willow. Nothing more, nothing less. My love for you is beyond scent matches that the universe chose for me. I chose you that day in the cafeteria and if you’ll have me, I’ll choose you again today.”

Nash gets up and strides across the room, his presence commanding attention as he approaches us. “You can’t act like you don’t have scent matches though, babe. Sure as hell can’t act like you don’t have a mark. Have you thought about what you’re going to do? Sever the bond? Wait it out and see if you want more with these guys?”

“You say that like it’s an easy choice,” she whispers, her words filled with uncertainty.

“It is, Willow.” Nash wraps his arms around her and nips her neck. “You’re in charge here. Not me and Ledger, not those other two alphas, you. If you want to sever it, I’ll take you tomorrow. You wanna see if you want something with them. I’ll support you.”

"You'd actually do that for me?" she asks, her voice filled with surprise.

“If it means I’m yours, I’ll do whatever. I just want you to be our omega,” Nash growls.

“Same. I just want you. Nothing else matters.” Ledger gets up and joins our little pack pile.

“I love you all so much. Ever since I came out of the haze of my heat and realized what I’d done, I was sick to my stomach thinking that I ruined everything with you guys.”

“Then we didn’t do a good enough job showing you just how much you mean to us. How bad we want you,” I tease, leaning in to kiss her lips. “I guess we should prove just what you do to us. How bad we want our omega.”
