Julian guided me back until we stood behind his desk. The last of the guards fell, and the muzzle of a rifle appeared around the doorframe. Levi then poked his head around and his eyes swept the room to find me.
A million things were said in those few seconds we locked our gazes. He was the only one who hadn’t claimed me yet, but I’d already felt he had. He was a wicked tease, but his heart was so big.
Levi motioned with a flip of his hand.
Talis and Evander eased around to stand just in the door with their weapons pointed at my father. My father had placed me completely in front of him and pressed his gun harder against my cheek.
“Let her go!” Evander roared. Blood and dust splattered his clothes and face. His eyes shone with rage.
“You drop your weapons and get on your knees. I will not hesitate to shoot her.” My father’s words made my stomach churn. He would kill me. He’d murder his own daughter so they couldn’t have me.
All I wanted to do was be with the Alphas I loved. Was that really such a horrible thing the universe had to deny me? My vision blurred with fat tears.
“Everyone needs to calm down. We can talk this through.” Talis’ voice was even and calm. I loved how in control he was even in a life or death situation. He lowered his gun, but Evander and Levi did not. “Mr. Birk, sir. I have laid claim to Callista, and we all know what the laws say. Release her, and let us have a chat.”
Levi remained crouched in the door, keeping watch down each side of the hallway. His lips were thinned and his jaw tight. Usually he was the one who talked the most, but he was strangely silent.
Julian grunted and tightened his grip on me. “The second I let her go, one of you will shoot me. Since I know none of you will risk her, and yes, I did know all of you claimed her, I will keep her here with me.” A whimper escaped me as he jammed the muzzle deeper into my cheek. Sirens sang outside, and he chuckled. “The police have arrived. Lower your weapons and put your hands on your heads, or they will kill you.”
My world was ending. There was nothing they could do. I wanted to tell them to shoot through me to kill him, but they wouldn’t listen.
Evander let out a shout of fury and punched the wall. He pointed his gun at my father again and growled. “If you harm one hair on her head, I will kill you.” He then jerked his hand holding his Glock down and looked at me. “We’ll find some way to get you out of this, angel, but I can’t… I can’t take the chance with your life.”
People shouted outside. Was that Kienna’s voice? Please let her be alright. No shots rang out, and the sirens cut off. Talis hissed between his teeth and set his gun on the floor. “We will figure a way out of this, Callista. I promised to never let you go, and I meant it.”
My father started moving with me toward the door. “You’re all going to let me and my daughter pass. One move, one little twitch, and I will kill her.” He started walking more confidently, making me choke with his fierce grip on my throat. “This is why an Alpha shouldn’t share an Omega. Your instincts won’t let you endanger her. It’s made you weak and useless. None of you are good enough for a Birk.”
If none of my Alphas were good enough for a Birk, I didn’t want to be a Birk any longer. Since they couldn’t do anything, I swallowed, closed my eyes, and rammed my elbow into my father’s stomach.
A shot cracked so loud, my ears went numb with its echoes. Then I was falling to the floor. There was no pain, but Julian must have killed me. Death felt like a slow motion tumble, and all I could think about was my Alphas. I never got to tell my incredible men I loved them.
Muscled arms wrapped around me and I was pressed against a hard body. I opened my eyes and blinked, gazing up at Evander. “I have you, angel. You’re ours forever.”
What?
Talis grabbed my hand and kissed it. “Everything’s going to be okay, my brave Omega.” He nuzzled my neck. “So very brave.”
The heat of their bodies surrounded me. There was no pain because I hadn’t been shot. I twisted my head to see my father lying facedown on the floor. Blood pooled around him, rich and ruby red. An immense weight lifted from me. I wanted to cheer that the great evil Julian Birk was dead, but a sob shook me seeing him lying there like that. The loving father I’d always wanted never existed, and I mourned that I’d always longed for him to be the one. I took in a great, trembling breath.
Levi stepped in behind Talis and caressed my cheek. “Good thing I hadn’t claimed you yet, sweetling. And that Kathryn made me do extra practice on the firing range this past summer.” His mouth curved into that marvelously sexy grin. “But we’re going to change that as soon as possible. I know the most delectable spot I want to claim you with my bite.”
Julian Birk was dead, and Levi had killed him. It slowly started to sink in. Evander and Talis couldn’t fight their Alpha instincts and endanger me, but Levi hadn’t claimed me yet. My little white lie to my father had made him believe he had the upper hand.
We were free. I could be with my Alphas now.
My tears came with a burbling laugh as I pulled all three of them to me, holding them tight. The police shouted as they came into the house and down the hall.
No one would be able to take me away from Talis, Evander, and Levi. Not ever again. Finally, after a lifetime of knowing I’d never get what I wanted, I could live my own dream. I would never need to run away from my life again.
Epilogue
Talis had offered me the master bedroom, but my Omega instincts refused to let me move out of the nest I’d already created. I joked that the blue guest room could be considered a second kitchen with the amount of food I’d stored in it. Yet it didn’t really matter which room I had as long as I was with my Alphas.
A month ago, my father had a gun pointed at my head, and I truly believed he would kill me. Everything had changed since then. I now lived with three gorgeous Alphas who loved me as much as I loved them. I had never known happiness such as this.
I slipped out of bed, putting aside the pillow I’d been hugging. It still smelled like Talis. He’d shared the bed with me last night, and he’d just vacated it to get ready for work less than twenty minutes ago. I wasn’t in heat any longer, but being horny all the time seemed to be my new normal. Kienna did say that if she had three hot hunks like I did, she’d never not have a dick in her somewhere.
Grabbing a few grapes as I went by a fruit bowl on my dresser, I paused at the door of the bathroom. A pregnancy test sat on the edge of the sink. I couldn’t see the results from where I stood. I didn’t know if I was ready to see what it said.
