“Daddy.”

“Yes, pup?”

I pressed a kiss to his suit jacket. Marveling at the man in my arms, who I was lucky to call mine.

“I miss our omega, can we have dessert and eat her out?”

“Let’s call her.” Walden nodded.

We were so needy without our omega. My perfect moments were curled up in Walden’s bed with her sweetness between us.

“Alpha?” Tully’s breathy voice came through a second before the screen did.

The tone went straight to my dick. Being an alpha didn’t feel so unsteady now, not with my omega threaded through it. Walden still put me on my knees, but it wasn’t a desperate, secret hunger anymore.

Tully’s gaze was glassy and her cheeks red. Lloyd dabbed a tissue over her dewy cheeks.

“Good timing.” Lloyd pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Our beta had thrown himself into expanding Hartlock Foundation with several smart investments, like Campion scent wipes, which were one of the most profitable, privately owned companies in Starhaven. He made weekly trips to The Barracks to visit his mom, and didn’t break so much as a sweat doing it.

“You look flushed, angel.”

“I-I think my heat is here.” She panted, and her eyes lit up as Ajax walked, something in his hand.

He fastened a collar, pink with glitter, around her neck.

“Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you to get home before I use this.” He held up an equally pink leash.

Walden and I both groaned.

Ajax and I had both gone no contact with our parents and I swear, it was like a lifetime of weight was lifted off us both. He was focusing more on his Historical Society, working in collaboration with Tully to make sure her family history was remembered. So it could be passed down to our children.

“It’s early.” Walden checked his calendar with a frown.

Lloyd held up his bullet journal, and tapped the heat tracker he kept in his. We all maintained the creative outlet, and it was helpful for me to make something, even if it wasn’t music like I craved. Plus, Tully liked to sit on our laps while she did hers and there was nothing,nothing, better than that.

“About a week. Seph said you had a high temperature at the beach last week.”

“I thought it was the sun,” Tully wailed, sliding her fingers underneath Lloyd’s buttons.

“We’ll be there soon, promise.” Walden was about to hang up when Tully made a noise.

“What is it, honey girl?” Lloyd stroked down the side of her face.

“Hurry. I want you to breed your omega.”

My knees buckled and my cock hardened immediately.

“Are you being serious?” I choked as Walden pulled me into his arms. A look of utter elation spread across his face.

“Yes, I want our pack name to go on.”

Ajax took the camera from her and aimed an evil look in our direction.

“Better hurry,” he whispered. “I’m fucking her first.”
