Page 68 of Knot Their Soldier: Part Three

My poor Alpha.

The door closes behind them. Weapons hit the table, and boots thud beside the door as they strip off everything that could snag or hurt me, and the sounds makes my body clench in anticipation.

My hips buck, desperate for friction to ease the aching. The fever makes my vision haze at the edges.

Knox takes two steps closer and stops.

"Princess," he says, and his voice lands heavy in the room. "Sorry we're late."

My body leans toward him, but my anger spikes at the same time.

I clamp the blanket higher and glare at the three Alphas like I am not so horny that I'm shaking from head to toe.

"You took too long," I say, aiming for imposing but sounding petulant instead.

Knox’s gaze drops to my breasts, exposed and peeking out from the blanket clutched to my chest, and his mouth parts. He licks his lips, eyes flashing vibrant red as he tastes the scent of my slick in the air. "Halley, we had to."

"I know you had to," I snap, and my voice comes out loud, and it makes my head throb. "I know you had to fix the problem you made."

Viper flinches like I hit him. I swallow down my next accusation. I really don't like the kicked puppy expression on my big Alpha's face.

My body lurches with another wave, and I press my knees together hard, trying to hold myself in place. My hips twitch anyway, and for the first time since my heat started, my hand dips between my legs.

I press the heel of my palm against my aching clit and grind down. My eyes roll back, and my face burns with the need, with the humiliation, and the fact that my traitorous Omega won't let me be angry at them for much longer. I need. I burn. And they're right there.

Knox’s voice stays calm. "We’re here now."

"Fantastic," I say brightly. "Should I congratulate you? Should I throw a party?"

"You’re being a petty brat." Shade laughs.

I internally wince. Perhaps I've been too harsh on Shade. The poor guy has really tried his best to look after me, and judging by the relief in his voice, I think he was genuinely concerned I would turn them all away in childish anger.

And I am angry, but I'm also feeling bad about making Viper guilty, and I'm desperate for my Pack to touch me and make me come.

However. A larger part of me wants revenge more.

I simply wish for them to feel a touch of the same misery they caused me. If that makes me a brat, then sure, but this spoiled brat is going to mess with them. Just for a bit. For as long as I can hold out.

"I'm in heat, I'm allowed to be petty," I snap, and gesture at myself. "You did this to me. With your stupid hot muscles and delicious scents. This is your problem. All of you."

Blaze grins, licking his lower lip and stepping closer to the nest. "Aww, has our little Omega been desperate for cock?"

I know he's teasing me, but I nod anyway. "It’s been awful. I was abandoned in my hour of need, and I will be accepting apologies now," I insist with a pout.

A low sound comes from Knox that is both restraint and amusement, and it makes my stomach flip. Just the sound of him makes my pulse race faster.

Viper finally speaks, voice careful and laden with guilt. "Pretty girl, I’m sorry."

The bond reacts to the apology, encouraging me to forgive him instantly, and I almost give in, which annoys me on principle. It was his dumb Alpha possessiveness which started my heat!

"Are you?" I ask, and my tone turns sweet on purpose. "Or are you sorry because you want to touch me and I’m about to make you beg?"

Viper stiffens. Shade's nose makes a sound that's almost laughter. Knox stays controlled, which makes me want to push harder.

Blaze doesn't try to hide his laughter. He lets it ring out openly as his grin turns sharp. "She wants us to grovel. Don't you, Sparkles? You want your Pack to beg for your pretty pussy."

I sniff delicately, my nose raised imperiously in the air. "Shade can join me. He didn't abandon me when I needed him most."
