Kane approaches, stroking my hair with unexpected tenderness. His eyes, now back to their normal blue, hold a satisfaction I've never seen before.

“This is just the beginning, Mia,” he says quietly. “The first of many heats we’ll help you through.”

The thought of going through this again and again, of eventually carrying their pups, of being bound to these three men for the rest of my life is scary. But as I lie here, filled with their seed and locked to them by their knots, I find that fear is the furthest thing from my mind.

Instead, there’s only acceptance. And beneath that, something that feels dangerously close to belonging.

I press a gentle kiss to the side of Mia’s neck. As the afterglow sets in, I bask in the knowledge that this omega is all ours. After years of waiting, she is finally in our arms. And god, she was made for us.

Mia’s body is limp against me, her breaths soft and even. My fingers brush against her delicate skin, and she draws in a sharp breath. I know how sensitive she is to touch right now; her system is overloaded, drowning in pleasure. I lean back, taking it all in.

Jace leans in, taking Mia's chin in his hand as he kisses her. The kisses are wild and intense, and the sight turns me on.

Mia lets out cute little moans as Jace kisses down her neck, and it's music to my ears. I revel in it.

“I am so in love with you, Mia. Since you walked into my life, everything has gotten so much brighter. You mean everything to me,” Jace declares.

Even though Mia looks spent, I can see her face redden. It’s kind of cute how easy it is to make her blush.

“I love you too, Mia,” I say, pressing a kiss to her cheek while brushing a lock of hair away from her face. “I never want this to end.”

After thirty minutes of making out, cuddling, and soft touches, my knot finally releases Mia. I exhale slowly as I slide out of her beautiful pussy. Later, I’ll play with her some more. Even now that we're physically separated, I still feel so closeto her. Possessiveness tightens in my chest as I stroke my fingers down her arm.

Mia’s eyes barely flutter open as she mumbles something incoherent. I smile and brush strands of damp hair from her face.

I don’t want to leave her. But a strange feeling won’t leave me alone.

For a moment, I just stand in the living room, watching Mia with Jace while Kane snores on the couch. Jace is holding her in his arms, murmuring how beautiful she is. Her eyes are closed, but there's a faint smile on her face as she basks in the praise.

Eventually, I leave the two of them to have this moment.

I pad into the hallway. A faint buzz sounds from the nest, and my eyes lock onto Mia's phone, abandoned in the corner of the room. The screen is lit up with several unread notifications.

My blood runs cold.

I pick up the phone, and my eyes narrow. All of these missed notifications are texts from Justin. Each one is more vile than the last.

Justin

You think I don't know where you are, Mia?

Justin

You're disgusting, whoring yourself out to those men. They don’t give two fks about you, Mia.

Justin

Don't ignore me, bitch. The rent is due.

The last one nearly makes me break the phonein my fist.

Justin

I'll be waiting once they kick your fat ass out of the house.

White-knuckling the phone, I scroll up to read the previous messages. Each one is hateful and cruel, and my heart aches. This is what Mia has been dealing with for years. This pathetic man takes joy in tearing her down, making her feel small.
