I draw back, staring up at him.

He looks like he is struggling to deal with the flood of my emotions.

He has gone too still. “This is…a lot.” His brow furrows like he is sorting through the bond. “Your emotions are inside me without me needing to ask what you mean. I can hear you. I was scared I’d hate that.” Then his expression softens with wonder. “I don’t. It is like I finally understand someone.”

I purr in delight, baring my own neck.

Eagerly, Luca sinks his teeth into my skin underneath my scarred bond bite.

I keen in pleasure.

“Welcome to the Cole pack.” Rhett climbs off my thighs and crawls up the nest.

He sprawls in the center, until I am caught between the three Alphas.

I have never felt safer.

Luca kisses over his new bite, while Angel settles across my chest, still locked to me.

Rhett casually grabs me by the chin, examining my throat before licking over the sensitive bites.

I whimper, as more slick drips from my pussy.

Angel groans, fruitlessly attempting to rut into me harder, as my muscles clench against him.

Then Rhett moves my lips to his neck. “Go on. There ain’t nothing I want more than to belong to you. I’ve been your Alpha longer than I’ve had the damn sense to admit it.”

My lips ghost his throat.

I kiss the skin, before I allow my teeth to graze him.

He shivers.

Then I bite.

Rhett hisses out a breath. “Harder.”

Then the bond snaps into place.

Love crashes over me so hard that I gasp. It is raw and painful like the grief Rhett carries around with him.

It is like holding up a mirror.

I pull back.

Startled, we both stare at each other.

“Hell, darlin’,” Rhett’s voice is stripped back from its normal gruffness, “looks like we are well suited. Reckon two hearts like ours were fated to find each other.”

“I didn’t reckon you believed in fate.” Angel quirks his brow.

“When it comes to this Omega, maybe I can be convinced.” Rhett’s smile becomes dangerous.

He winds his fingers through my hair, tugging my neck to the side.

Then he plunges his teeth deeply into my skin.

I howl, delirious in pleasure, as all my bonds deepen at once.

Finally, I am in my nest with three bonded Alphas.

I purr. I smile. And I am finally free to live again.
