The front door to the house swings open, getting my attention. Lifting my head, I raise a brow when I see my beta come busting in here like the Kool-Aid man.

“Everything okay?” I ask, putting my pencil down and closing my text book.

“Yup,” he gives me a beaming smile. “Everything is perfect. But, I need you to be ready to leave in about,” He looks at his imaginary watch. “Five minutes. Less would be wonderful.”

“Okay?” I ask, brows furrowed as I stand. “Can I ask why?”

“You could,” he grins. “Doesn’t mean I’ll answer you though.”

“Of course not.” I chuckle. “Alright, I’ll do whatever crazy thing you have planned.”

I head to the room and change out of my sweats and into a pair of jeans.

“Are casual clothes good for whatever we’re doing?” I ask, heading back to the main part of the house, a new clean shirt halfway over my head.

“Fuck me.” A voice groans and my stomach flutters.

“I mean, if you want.” I slip the shirt over my head and give Lee a grin. “But I thought we had somewhere to go?”

“We do.” Lee licks his lips before grinning. “And I think you're going to really enjoy it.”

Huh. By the look in his eyes, whatever we’re about to do may be worth abandoning my much needed studying. School work can wait. Because with how Lee is looking at me, I think we’re both going to enjoy whatever is about to happen.

* * *

“What?” my brows furrow as Lee hands me a piece of paper and a basket. “What the hell are these for?”

As soon as we got out of the car, Lee grabbed my hand and dragged me towards a group of people.

It was then I knew whatever we had planned wasn’t going to involve sex. Am I disappointed? Yes. I really thought by the way he was acting we might have been heading towards the club or something.

But no, we’re here at some park I think? Not sure, I’ve never been here before.

“These are the things you need to look for.” He answers me.

I blink, staring at the piece of paper. “Lee, is this a scavenger hunt?” I ask, raising my eyes to meet him with a very unimpressed look.

“Oh, come on! It’s gonna be fun. Look, I completely forgot the student council had this planned. Seeing how this was pretty much my idea, I kind of have to be here. It’s a fun thing for all the new students to do, get to know one another. Bond.”

“You want me to bond with people?” I ask, cocking a brow.

Lee’s face falls. “Good point. You’re on your own.”

“What?” I groan. “Lee, come on. Where’s the fun in that? I don’t want to be here, let alone do this shit on my own.”

“Please,” he gives me those big puppy dog eyes and for a moment I ask myself who’s the omega between the two of us.

He’s being surprisingly… good. Like he’s on his best behavior. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re around other people we go to school with, or he’s up to something.

“You won’t be alone,” he continues. “I’ll be with you.” He grins. “Come on. It will be fun.”

“Fine.” I sigh. “You know what, maybe it will be.”

“That's the spirit.” Lee wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me towards the other group of people. He introduces me to a few other student council people.

Once everyone is here, they do this big speech, break us up into groups and tell us what we need to do.

“Alright, ready?” Lee asks, looking at his own paper.

“Sure, why not.”

It’s not that I hate the outdoors, I enjoy it, I do.

But going on an evening hike isn’t what I had planned. What's the point? It’s going to get dark in like an hour or so.

We head down one of the trails, my eyes slowly scanning the trees.

Everything on this list is very generic when it comes to scavenger hunts. Feather, leaf, flowers, rocks. But there’s a twist. They can’t just be any, but a specific kind.

The one I think is going to be the hardest is the eagle feather. Like really?

“Baby, you need to cheer the fuck up, because your funk is putting me in a funk.” Lee bumps my shoulder.

“Sorry.” I blow out a breath. “You're right.” I nod. “Alright. Let’s get started.”

Over the next hour, we blow through the list. Lee’s keen eye is amazing. And, oddly enough, the eagle feather is one of the first things we get. Just so happens there’s a nest nearby. Lee climbed the tree and lucked out that there were a few in there.

The thing I’m having the hardest time with is finding wild roses. Not a single one in this damn park. How? They're all over the surrounding area of the school.

“Holy shit!” My eyes widen when I see a field just down the trail. “I think I see some!”

Leaving Lee, I take off down the trail towards the field. A rush of pride fills me when I bend down and grab one of the flowers, adding it to the basket.

Grinning, I stand, eyes finding the sun that's starting to set. “And just in time too.” I murmur to myself, then turn around to go back to Lee.

Only when I look around, I don’t see him.

Maybe he hasn’t caught up yet. He was pretty focused on texting River. The guys got caught up with work, that’s why they weren’t here.

I think they just didn’t want to be. Scavenger hunts don’t seem to be something they would enjoy. Brooks would get pissed off the longer it took to find things. He would have probably cheated and just taken items other people already found.

“Lee?” I call out, a little unease filling me as I walk back in the direction I last saw him. “Henley?”

Panic starts to creep in as I realize I’m alone. Where the fuck is he? Where did he go? He wouldn’t just have left me out here alone would he?

“Lee!” I shout, heading back down the trail we came down. “Lee, this isn’t funny.” Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I pull up his contacts and call him.

Bringing the phone to my ear, I stop walking and look around as it rings. After a few rings, it goes to voicemail.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me.” I grumble. I’m not familiar with this park, and with the sun going down, I don’t want to go looking for him and get lost.

I think the best thing to do is go back to the meeting point and let them know about Lee and call the guys.

Worry takes over me. What am I even thinking about? I can’t leave Lee out here. What if something happened to him? What if he’s hurt?

None of this makes sense. He was right there. I didn’t go very far. I was only gone a minute. How could he just disappear in the blink of an eye without a word?

Maybe he didn’t hear me about the rose and found the mushroom we’ve also been looking for. “Henley!” I call out. “I have the rose!”

With every passing second, chills prickle up and down my arm. Wrapping my arms around me, I rub them to try and get rid of this odd feeling.

“Where are you?” I grumble, trying his number again. Nothing. “Fuck it.” I call Brooks and he answers on the second ring.

“Camden, baby,” he purrs and a bit of that unease settles. “What's up?”

“Lee told you we’ve been doing the scavenger hunt, right?”

“Yes,” he says slowly.

“Well, I took off to go grab something on the list and when I looked back he’s gone. Brooks, I’m worried. I can’t find him anywhere.”

“What?” he growls. “Let me text him.”

“I tried calling, he’s not picking up.” I look around as the feeling of someone watching takes root.

“He just texted back. He said he thought you went back to the group. Fuck. Okay, I’m texting him, telling him to come find you. Stay there, okay?”

“Okay.” I hate how small my voice is. I’m starting to freak out. I don’t like the dark. I don’t like being out here alone. My eyes find the setting sun, and that unease prickles back.

My brows furrow when I realize Brooks hasn’t said anything in a good minute. “Brooks?” I ask, but I’m met with silence. “Brooks?” I ask again, pulling the phone back to see that we’re still connected. Maybe he’s doing something, talking to someone.

I give it a moment but when he still hasn’t said anything, I try again. “Brooks?”

My heart drops when the line goes dead. “What the hell?”

I’m instantly calling him back. But it doesn’t even ring, going right to voicemail. Fuck, his phone must have died.

Trying River, I curse when his phone does the same. And so does Lee’s.

“I have the worst fucking luck.”

A branch cracking has my head snapping up and my stomach dropping out my ass. “Lee?”

With every passing second, my breathing starts to come in quicker pants. I’m starting to freak out, real fear filling me.

Do I stay put, or start heading back?

“Fuck it.” I mutter. I don’t wanna wait in the dark. Lee can meet me back with everyone else.

Turning around to head back in the right direction, my eyes widen and a whimper slips free as real fear paralyzes me.

Right in the path stands a man. Not just any man. A fucking man in a mask.

Nope. Not happening. Today is not the day I fucking die.

Spinning back around, I go to take off in the opposite direction. But I don’t get very far, because there’s another fucking man.

“I don’t want any trouble.” I hate how my voice shakes. “Please, just let me get out of here.”

I want to go home. I want my alphas, my nest, my beta. I don’t want to do this anymore.

The sound of footsteps has my head snapping to the side. Another man. No. This cannot be happening.

What the fuck is going on?

Oh god. My father’s men. Is this them? Have they found me and now they’re fucking with me before taking me back to my father?

I’m too busy watching the newest masked man that I don’t hear the other ones approaching me.

Spinning around, I scream when the two from before are right in front of me.

My heart slams against my chest, tears springing to my eyes. I back up, only making it a few steps before bumping into a hard body.

My eyes fall shut as I swallow down the sob that threatens to tear from my throat.

“Shhhh.” One of them murmurs. “We’re not going to hurt you.”

“No.” Another one says. “Never hurt you.”

“We just wanna have a little bit of fun.” The third one says, “What do you say, Little Omega. Wanna play a game?”

“No.” I whimper, my body shaking.

“Come on.” The first one says. “It’s gonna be so much fun.”

“All you gotta do is run.” The second one whispers.

Just as I think I’m fucked, that I’m going to die tonight, the wind blows and three scents I’m very familiar with hit me like a bag of bricks.

Coffee, campfire, and chamomile cinnamon.

My eyes snap open and my breathing comes in quick heavy pants.

What the hell? It’s them. I know it’s them. But why the hell is my pack dressed up in masks, terrifying me.

“When we first started to get to know one another, after we marked you, made you ours for life, you asked us what we like to do for fun.” Brooks reaches out and runs his fingers through my hair. It’s gotten a little longer, but I just dyed it pink again last week. I groan when he tugs on my hair. “Well this is it, Little Omega. We love to hunt. And tonight, you're the prey.”

Holy shit. Is this really happening?

“Be a good boy.” River growls. “And do as you're told. If you do, I promise you’ll be greatly rewarded.”

They all take a step back and I suck in a few heaving breaths as my head swivels around, trying to look at all of them at once.

“Now run, Little Omega. If we catch you, we fuck you.”

Eyes wide, I lick my lips, my brain trying to process what the hell is happening right now.

“One.” Brooks starts.

“Two.” River adds.

“Three.” Lee chuckles.

Something inside me has me snapping into motion. Turning on my heel, I run. Not having a damn clue where I’m going but knowing even if I get lost, my pack will find me.

And when they catch me, I want them to do whatever the hell they want with me.

Because the idea of my pack hunting me turns me on far more than it should.

HENLEY

Oh little mouse, you’re running so fast!

Whooping loudly, I chase after Camden, my alphas and I weaving through the trees.

“Remember, Little Omega!” I yell.

“If we catch you,” Brooks adds, jumping over a log and stomping hard on the ground so Cam will hear. His harsh breaths make me smirk.

“We’ll fuck you!” River finishes in a creepy fucking sing-song voice.

They’re enjoying this so much.

To be honest, I am too. I was really into the scavenger hunt, but my alphas kept texting me like impatient children, wanting to know if it was time yet. I had to keep them from blowing our cover, and I needed to ensure the scavenger hunt was just about over before giving the all clear.

Camden’s pout and brattiness throughout the entire thing was adorable, because I knew that he wanted to be fucked. His tears will be streaming soon, his mouth stuffed wide by one of us in the near future.

We aren’t very patient. It’s a miracle I was able to let Camden move ahead when he did so that I could give the go ahead to my alphas.

But now, it’s all coming together.

“Oh, fuck,” Cam gasps, almost tripping over a rock.

My alphas and I almost stop chasing him, worried he may be hurt, but his burst of speed has me grinning. Our little omega is enjoying this as much as I am.

His sweet mouth watering cotton candy scent permeates the air, leaving a trail that leads right to our prey.

We play with Camden to draw this out, forcing him to pivot and slide to avoid us. His whines of frustration get louder as we chase him, and that’s when Brooks strikes. Leaping at Cam who is already getting tired, he twists in the air to ensure our omega isn’t hurt before he turns again to push him into the ground.

We are very careful with Cam, even when we’re pushing him to his limits.

Brooks pulls our omega up onto his knees, holding him tightly as he squeezes Cam’s mouth so it’ll open.

“You’re going to be our good little omega and suck your Alpha’s cock, aren’t you?” he asks.

River saunters over with a lazy grin, slowly unzipping his pants and pulling out his cock as Cam’s eyes widen. His pupils are blown with fear and arousal, and his body gives himself away as he perfumes for us.

“Oh I think you’re going to enjoy this, Baby Boy. Let go, don’t think, be our little play thing. Your holes belong to us, and we’re going to take very good care of you,” Brooks growls in his ear.

River traces the crown of his dick over Cam’s lips, and our omega sticks his tongue out, desperate to taste him. My alpha’s hands fist Camden’s hair, groaning as he thrusts into his open mouth. The greedy boy keeps his tongue sticking out so he can drag it down the underside of River’s cock.

“Fuck, that’s it,” River groans. “You’re gonna get dicked down so good, baby.”

The whine that comes from Cam is so cute, I smirk as I pull my cock out as well and begin to stroke myself as I watch them. I can be patient if I need to be.

Brooks pulls down Cam’s pants, and I groan as I move slightly to see that his tight ass is already slicking.

“Fuck,” I rasp. “You’re going to get a nice, fat cock, Baby Boy. I know you’re gonna take every damn inch.”

“I know he will,” Brooks growls, squeezing Cam’s ass before smacking it.

Cam chokes a bit in surprise, rallying as his eyes begin to water.

“He’s already taking my cock like a champ,” River praises, using Cam’s hair to draw him up and down his shaft.

Every time he bobs his head, he sinks further down River’s dick. His throat bulges as he works harder to get to his alpha’s knot, and it’s so fucking sexy.

Brooks is impatient as he pulls his pants down to release his cock, grinning up at me as he turns.

“Come get my cock wet, Lee,” he says.

Eager to please, my dick bobs against my shirt as I drop to my hands and knees and crawl for my alpha.

“Fuck, you look so good like that,” Brooks groans.

My mouth sucks down his cock, making sure I drool down it in a sloppy blow job. My hand goes back to my cock to masturbate, groaning at how aroused I am. I fucking love every single second I get to have with my pack.

I don’t ever want it to end.
