“We weren’t willing to risk them tampering with anything. But, after today, we’re sure who it was, and I won’t risk having them around you anymore.”

My brow furrowed and I chewed on the corner of my lip before I looked straight into his eyes.

“So, you weren’t staying here to avoid me? Avoid how everyone had been sleeping in the nest so often?”

He shook his head and closed the distance even further. My palms were flat on his hard chest now and I was struggling not to be distracted by the way he was letting me touch him. By how close he was and how strong his scent had become. By the fact that he’d kissed me a few moments before.

“I’ve owed you an apology for too long now, Ethan. You know I’ve been talking to the in-house shrink. She’s helped me so much, but I just couldn’t get out of my head when it came to you.”

That flare of hope inside me was starting to fizzle. I knew that what he’d gone through meant that his trauma, all those mental and emotional scars were tied up around Omegas. I would give him as much time as he needed but it hurt to not be able to help him and be there for him. I started to pull my hands away before he pressed his much larger hands over mine to keep them there. His eyes were pleading with me and when I looked up again, I was transfixed.

“I couldn’t figure out how to apologize for the unforgivable things I said to you. The way I treated you. It was out of fear and anger that was never directed at you, really.” He sighed heavily and squeezed his eyes shut before pressing his forehead to mine. “I wanted to tell you how sorry I was. How that first night you came to visit, I nearly broke when I saw you standing there. You were the most beautiful Omega I’d ever seen. And your scent? When I smelled your fucking perfume? Made my cock hard and my teeth ache to sink into your neck and make you mine.”

A whimper slipped from my lips, my skin heated, and my perfume was flooding the space.

“It fucking terrified me. I fought it so damn hard, but I haven’t been afraid of you, or what you could be to me, in a while, Ethan. I know I don’t deserve it, but if you would give me a chance, I’d?—”

I didn’t need to hear another word from his mouth, I just needed to taste it. Crushing my lips to his, I looped my arms around his neck and pressed myself against him as fully as I could. He was so fucking tall. He took mercy on me and gripped my hips, lifting me enough that I could pull myself up and wrap my legs around his hips. He moved forward and my back hit the wall, then his hard dick ground against mine.

I whined at the feeling, and he growled, thrusting his tongue into my mouth deepening the kiss and moving his hand into my hair to grip my curls and move my head where he wanted me.

I needed him. Fuck, I needed him so badly. Inside me. Knotting me. A pathetic whimper clawed up from my throat. Trevor pulled away from my mouth, hands framed my face as his lips tightened.

“Shit, did I hurt you?”

I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts and it hit me.

“Spike.”

“What did you say?”

“I’m having a heat spike. I need, shit, is Theo here?”

Trevor nodded and his eyes widened.

“It’s okay, Trev. I’ll leave, you don’t need to do anything. I won’t be upset. We need more time.”

Nodding again, he closed his eyes and huffed out a breath before setting me on my feet and pressing his head to mine.

“I’ll text everyone. They’ll get you back to your nest and everything will be okay.”

It would. Even now, everything was so much better than I could have hoped when I woke up this morning. Except for the whole traitor thing. That cleared my head enough to remember that I still needed more information about them.

“You never said." Trevor leaned back to look at me. “Who you thought the mole was?”

Trevor’s eyes hardened and his hands tightened around my waist.

“Derek.”

Oh, shit.

“He left as I was coming in, acting really fucking weird too. Does he know you suspect him?”

Trevor shook his head. Then, slowly, like he was giving me a chance to move away, he pulled me into his chest, surrounding me in a hug, and I melted. Yep, I was completely gone for all of them. I felt his arm shift as he pulled out his phone and typed out the text before pocketing it again and ignoring the flurry of vibrations that was no doubt our pack messaging him, trying to figure out what was happening.

“We’ll bring him back in and let him sit in a holding cell until they’re ready to question him.”

“There are holding cells here?”
