There was a spot on my chest that throbbed. Groaning, I turned around onto my back and instantly bumped into another body. My eyes snapped open. Definitely not Bella.I turned slightly to glance over my shoulder. Tyrone was fast asleep behind me on his stomach with one arm under the pillow and the other resting at his side. Someone stirred in front of me, pulling my attention away from the man at my back. A sigh fell from Bella’s lips as she rolled onto her back. I waited for her to wake up, but when she remained asleep, I sat up and glanced around. We were in the nest, all naked and still sweaty. But there was one person missing. I frowned. The most important person who should be here was missing. My frown deepened as I stood, and carefully stepped over Tyrone’s legs to make my way into the bathroom. It was empty. Grabbing a pair of pants, I pulled it on and headed downstairs. I searched all the rooms, but came up empty. Worry filled me when I continued to search through the
“I asked him not to bond me.”“So you’re upset because he bonded you when you asked him not?”“Yes,” I growled. Michel sighed. Dropping the cloth into the water, he leaned to the side to reach for so something else. He was silent except for giving me instructions as he washed my hair. “You bit David,” he said suddenly, making my eyes snap to his. “I thought he was hurting Bella!” I yelled. Michel held up a hand. “I know that, sweet pea. Bella told me what happened, but the point is that you bit him and therefore you created a bond with him.”“I can’t feel him like I feel you and Tyrone.” I frowned down at my knees. “I didn’t bite him to bond him.” “I know.” He reached up and tugged on a strand of my hair. “But the point is that you bit him and although your bond is not strong, it’s still there. Tyrone was furious when we got home and he saw your mark on David but instead of doing what his instincts urged him to do, he took care of you.”Letting go of my hair, he traced a line dow
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
