Nursing the mark. It was something they had mentioned in one of the classes at the Omega Center, but they skipped over it because they didn’t want to make me uncomfortable. When i arrived on the ranch, I regretted no knowing everything I needed to know as an omega, but looking back, I was glad that Tyrone, Michel and Bella were the ones who were teaching me about all those things. They were much better teachers. But there were things I wished I knew. Like what it meant when Tyrone said that he would nurse my mark. He didn’t mention that it would involve us snuggled up in bed with a movie playing on the T.V that none of us were paying attention to while he licked at his mark. I was trying my best to keep still, but the feel of his tongue on my skin was making my stomach clench with what I now recognized as desire. My thighs were wet with my slick, but it didn’t seem to bother Tyrone at all. Things got ever worse when Michel entered the room and joined us on the bed. “My mark n
Her heartbeat hadn’t slowed at all. It made me second-guess everything we had just done. She said that she was okay, but had she been lying to me?Giving my mark one more lick, I pulled back to look at her. Her face showed no sign of any panic but then again her eyes were squeezed shut. My eyes locked with Michel’s. He winked at me and shifted his hips, making Sin’s body jerk and her eyes snap open. She blinked at me, and then the most unexpected thing happened. She smiled. The worry faded. “For a moment, I thought we had scared you,” I told her. “Are you okay, doll?”“You do scare me sometimes,” Sin croaked. “I’m sorry.”“It’s not bad scary.” She licked her lips. “It’s just scary because you make me feel a lot of things I would rather not be feeling. And you make me overthink things a lot, and sometimes you make me wish that I knew more things about being an omega.”I gripped her thigh and guided her leg higher up my hip so I could press our bodies together. “You are perfect
I have a family. I have two alphas and a beta. I have a home to call my own. They love me. I had what I never thought I would get, and it was even better than I had imagined. I wore my Alphas marks on display, but my Beta had not yet marked me. There was still hope, I knew that. Bella’s feelings were as mixed as mine so I wasn’t going to ruin things by asking for her mark when I already had her bond. It wasn’t as clear as Michel and Tyrone’s bond, but it was enough for me to get a clue as to what she was feeling. Everything was still…new, and it felt strange, but if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was meant to happen this way even if my arrival on the farm hadn’t been the best. My smile faded when I looked up and spotted David on the couch. I froze for a few seconds and then took a step back to get away before he saw me, but David looked up at that moment, making me freeze again. “Sin,” he greeted softly. I stared at the mark on his neck. It looked
They didn’t approve. It wasn’t that hard to see. The woman was clearly disappointed in Sin, and she wasn’t trying to hide it. It made Sin feel sad although she didn’t show it. I squeezed her hand tighter as we followed the woman across the yard to the medical building. We had already filled in the forms so our mating could be added to their records and Sin’s name be removed from the Omega Center’s resident list. Now Sin needed to get her check-up, and then we could go back home, something that Sin was eager to do. She didn’t specify her reason for wanting to stay at home, but it wasn’t hard to guess. Jackson was still out there. But she wasn’t the only one who was worried about him. My worry had increased when I checked my phone this morning to find over fifty missed calls from Draven over the past week. Jackson and my brother were good friends, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Draven was helping Jackson with whatever he was planning. Truth was, I wasn’t worried about my b
It took a lot of effort for me to force my eyes open when I heard the door creak as someone entered the room. I blinked until my vision cleared and I could make out the man hovering in the doorway. “I picked up some clean clothes for you and some food.”Although my stomach was grumbling from hunger, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to stomach even a bite of whatever David had gotten. “Did you find him?” I questioned. “No,” he growled, lowering the bags onto the single couch pushed against the wall next to the door. “Nobody had seen him.” My hand curled into fists. If there had been any doubt of Draven’s involvement in Sin’s kidnapping, it had been cleared now. He disappeared at the same time Sin was kidnapped. “Jackson’s name has been removed from the suspect list.”I tensed, muscles tightening as I fought the urge to jump up and wrap my hands around his neck. “What did you just say?” I questioned through clenched teeth. David slowly straightened and turned to face me. “He was awa
The rumble of Bella’s truck made me clench my jaw. I thought that I had made it clear that bringing an omega to the ranch again was a big fucking mistake, but they didn’t listen. Throwing the tools down on the table, I grabbed the clothe to wipe my hands and then made my way towards the door. I leaned against the doorway as I watched Bella park her truck under the tree. They didn’t immediately get out of the truck, and I hoped that it was a sign that Bella had changed her mind. But Bella’s door finally opened, and a second later so did the other door. The air locked in my throat when the omega climbed from the truck. She was nothing like I imagined her. Smaller. Thinner. Her eyes darted around and then locked on Michel who was standing on the porch. Muttering a curse, I stormed towards them. If I wasn’t there for the introductions, Bella would never let me live it down. Daisy barked as she ran around the side of the house, straight at the new-comer. Kate hated animals, and it
Water.I could almost taste the cold liquid on my tongue. The drug they had been injecting me with was starting to wear off. I dreaded the moment they would come back to inject me again. They barely gave my body time to recover before injecting me again. Whatever they gave me made me feel like I was floating and then it would make me fall asleep. Thirst was the first thing I felt when I woke up after the drug wore off. And then the pain would register. The pounding headache, and my aching muscles. If I moved my feet just a little, they would touch a wall. The wood felt rough against my sensitive skin. Loud laughter suddenly broke the silence, making me flinch. They always stayed close by. I could hear them talk and argue and laugh. The man who injected me smelled like sour milk and beer. I hated the smell. It reminded me of him. I had been drugged when they kidnapped me from the truck, but the dosage had been mild compared to the drugs they had been giving me. During the drive
It was halfway across town at the old motel where Draven first found Sin. I ran a hand down my face and looked at the bed where Tyrone was fast asleep. The doctor had sedate him an hour ago after he tried to leave. I understood his eagerness to go search for Sin, but he didn’t understand how important it was for him to stay at the hospital where they could keep an eye on his wounds. He needed to be in the best shape when we find her because Sin was going to need him. Midnight. It was five hours away. I stood and walked over to the window. My eyes darted over the dark clouds in the sky and then down to the people below, running for cover as the first drops started to fall. “I got some coffee.”Turning, I watched Bella as she placed the cups down on the small coffee tabel. Midnight. Walking over to her, I waited for her to straighten and then gripped the back of her neck to pull her lips to mine. I kissed her like I hadn’t kissed her in months. I kissed her as if it was the last
I will not be like my mother.I’ll be good for our baby.I’ll love it and care for it. It’ll have a family with two moms and two dads.“Okay, let’s get a look at this baby.”I gripped Tyrone’s hand tighter as the doctor squirted some cold gel onto my stomach. His eyes locked with mine when he raised my hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. “Is this your first scan?”Tyrone looked at the doctor. “Yes.”“The baby is growing accordingly, and your weight is right on point.” I flinched when the doctor pressed the wand to my stomach and spread the cold gel around. “And there’s your baby.”My eyes stayed glued to his face. I watched as his eyes widen and his lips slowly curl up into a smile. His hand tightened. “Look at our baby, doll.”I didn’t want to look. But I wanted to look. Our baby. I slowly turned my head to look at the small screen. My heart slowed to a stop before it began beating erratically a few seconds later. There it was. So small.“Your baby is fully f
“Did Sin ever get her birth implant?”I paused for a few seconds and then slowly continued to lower the bag to the floor. “Why?”Michel shrugged. “I’m just asking.”“No, you’re not.”Michel swallowed loudly. “David said that there are a few possibilities for Sin to want her nest.”I pursed my lips, stopping myself from mentioning what Bella told me about Kate and David. We had agreed not to mention it to Michel and Sin because we didn’t want to upset them on the trip. And what a trip it was. A damn fucking mess. “You think she’s pregnant.” I leaned against the back of the couch and frowned at him. “There are a lot of reasons for an omega to want her nest, Michel. Just because she wanted to come home, doesn’t mean that she’s pregnant.”He growled at me and then stormed out of the house. I watched him as he grabbed the last few bags from the car and stormed back into the house. Dropping them next to the others, he straightened to glare at me. “Don’t look at me like that,” I muttered.
Having sex in a hotel bathtub was not ideal. Especially a tub so fucking small. The one in the master bedroom was custom build. Maybe we should’ve stayed at home. This trip was a damn waste. Tyrone hurt his foot before we even made it to the hotel and Sin wanted to go back home. She never said it straight to us, but I could sense it. When I planned this trip, I never took the other people into consideration. I had been thinking only about us. Our first night wasn’t so bad, but the start of our second day wasn’t a good one. Breakfast in bed, and morning sex, that was great. But Sin’s anxiety rose the moment we left our hotel room. Tyrone decided to stay back and rest while we went to the beach. Walking between us, she clung to our hands, eyes darted nervously around us. Some of the anxiety faded when we made it to the beach where only a few people sat. We chose a spot away from them. Bella spread the towels out on the sand while I set up the umbrella. Placing the cooler box down,
I felt bad. Tyrone not only twisted his ankle, but he also had an ugly cut on his heel. I had accused him of throwing us into the water on purpose and I had called him an asshole. My eyes drifted towards him where he lay on the bed, bandaged foot propped up on a pillow. It looked like he was sleeping. The doctor had given him two small white pills to drink before he left. For the next two weeks, Tyrone was supposed to stay off his feet as much as possible.Our first day on vacation was a bust. I sighed, turning to look back out the window. The hotel was located a few feet from the beach so I had a perfect view of the ocean and the activities below. There were a lot of people. More than I had anticipated when Tyrone mentioned a vacation. My anxiety levels spiked the longer I stared at them. Would they stare at me if we go down there?“Are you done unpacking?”I shrugged. “What’s the use of doing that if we won’t be staying for long.”Bella appeared at my side. She stared out of th
It’s not what you’re thinking.How could he know what we were thinking? All I got from David was that stupid text right after I tried to call him. He has been avoiding our calls since. I was tempted to drive out to his house and demand answers from him, but Sin’s excitement for our trip prevented me from doing that. She had been the one asking questions about Kate. She was right about worrying about Kate. Somehow she had managed to worm her way into David’s life. If Bella hadn’t seen them, would David have ever told us? He said it was not what we were thinking, so if they weren’t trying to tear us apart, what was it then? Were they dating? It would tear our friendship apart if she ended up being his mate. “Are we there yet?” My eyes snapped up when the soft question filled the air. To keep our destination a secret, we used blankets to cover the back windows. Another one had been used as a partition between the back and the front of the car. For most of the drive Sin and I had been
We’re going on vacation.Well, more like a short getaway because our trip was going to be a short one--only four days. I wanted it to be longer, but beggars couldn’t be choosers. It would be fun, only the four of us. Away from everyone and we would be able to forget everything that had happened the last few weeks. I was excited and despite not showing it, I knew that Sin was too. She told us that she had never been to the beach before. In about two days, she would. We had all agreed that our destination would be a surprise which was why I was in town.Sin needed some new beach clothes like a bikini. Michel had asked me to pick up a few other things that we needed because he was busy going over things to make sure that nothing went wrong on the ranch while we were away. “Bella?” I tensed. Pursing my lips, I slowly turned around. My eyes widened in surprise. The girl standing a few feet away was not the girl I remembered. I blinked, eyes trailing down her body and then back up to
Tyrone kept one hand pressed to the back of my head as he carried me out of the club. It took a few minutes for the sound of the club to fade and cool air to brush against my skin. Another few minutes passed and then we were back at the car.“Let go,” Tyrone ordered softly. My hold loosened when he started lowering me. After a moment he placed me on the seat. “Scoot over for me,” he ordered softly. I moved back across the seat, glancing around the dark car. Tyrone climbed in and then closed the door behind him. The lock clicked into place. He looked at me again and then held out his arms. He didn’t have to ask me twice. When I was within reach, Tyrone pulled me onto his lap and against his chest. My body instantly relaxed against his when he started purring. I hated and loved how an alpha’s purr affected an omega. Silence surrounded us until he broke it. “Tell me what happened,” Tyrone said softly.I swallowed. “I…I don’t like the b-bondage. It triggers m-memories.”Tyrone rub
Sin had a tight grip on my hand. She hadn’t let go since I took hold of her hand when we left the ranch. I was worried that she would have a panic attack, but she didn’t. Bella had done a great job at distracting her by playing a music guessing game. It was a surprise when Sin actually relaxed, but she tensed again the moment we arrived at David’s club. There were only a few cars parking in the lot which set me at ease a little. We had made arrangements for a private room but decided against the private tour because we wanted Sin to get the full experience of the club. Tonight the club would only be open for club members. There would be a few performances that we could watch if Sin wanted or we could head directly to the private room we had booked. The bouncer at the front door greeted us by name and barely even spared Sin a glance but I noticed that he did a double-take at the burned side of my face. Once we signed in and received our armband, we were allowed to enter. Bella
The things we ordered online started arriving two days later. I was busy unpacking the boxes in the bedroom when Bella joined me with a few more bags and a box. By now I recognized David’s club logo.“New toys?” Bella questioned when she dropped everything next to me on the bed. Colour flooded my cheeks. “I got some for Tyrone.”She raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Can I look?”I hesitated a few seconds and then nodded. Trying my best to ignore her, I continued pulling the clothes from the boxes and placing them aside. When the box was empty, I threw it to the floor and reached for another box. “I can’t wait to watch him try these out,” Bella muttered. “That is if you allow me to watch.”My eyes snapped up to hers in surprise. “Why do you say that?”“Because despite all of us being together there are times when someone would want some privacy.” Bella’s eyes dropped to the clothes on my lap. “Primarily you and Ty are mated so we’ll understand if you would like to spend time without us.”“Lik
