"Holy fuck! Holy fuck!" she screams, jumping up and down, her hands flailing in the air.

I laugh so hard my sides hurt as she launches herself at me, hugging me so hard I almost fall over. Her scent wraps around me—bubblegum and fresh air—and my omega instincts soak it up like a sponge.Pack. Family. Mine.

"Best sister-in-law ever!" she shouts.

My stomach flips. My eyes go wide.

Sister-in-law.

When I bond with the guys…

She’ll be my little sister, too.

Bettie will be like my mom.

I’ll have a family again.

A real one.

For the first time since I was little.

Holy shit.

"Brydgett, so, for real! This is mine?" Dillon says, practically vibrating.

"Yes, Dillon," I laugh. "It’s yours. But I want my GTO back."

"Done." She grins, immediately sliding into the driver’s seat and honking the horn like a maniac.

"Thank you so much!" she yells.

"You’re welcome, Dillon."

She pulls out her phone, already babbling about calling her friends and showing off. I shake my head, smiling so wide my cheeks hurt.

"I’m gonna head back in," I tell her, stepping back toward the door. "You have fun."

"I will!" she calls after me.

I head back inside, ready for another drink and a night full of fun with the people who are starting to feel like my real family.

Finally.

I go straight for the bar and Keg grins wide when he spots me, already wiping down the counter like he’s seen it all tonight.

"Another?" he asks, grabbing a clean glass.

"Yeah," I say, sliding onto a stool. "Might as well keep it rollin'."

He chuckles as he pours. "You sure know how to keep a party going, Brydgett."

I flash him a smile, feeling loose and warm. "Planned it earlier this week."

Keg snorts, shaking his head as he sets my drink down in front of me. "You're driving those three alphas of yours insane," he says low. "You keep touching other alphas, they're bound to fuck someone up."

I wince, hard.

Shit.
