I’ve had a blast being an omega. I highly doubt my alpha and beta siblings have people offering to pay them merely for their company.
Alex flirted until I laughed, Mason kissed my forehead, and Des brushed his fingers through my hair so gently like he feared I might break.
Then they left me alone in a bed made for a pack. Two nights of empty space and too much silence.
It was only the second night. I need to remember we’ll be spending a lot of months together; there is plenty of time to snuggle.
I should probably also come right out and request puppy piles at night. I’m an omega after all. I thrive on touch and attention from alphas.
Especially ones who smell so delicious and look like they were carved out of stone.
They told me last night they would be gone before I woke and that I was more than welcome to roam the house at will. Alex scheduled for one of the guards to escort me back to my apartment to get the rest of my clothing and a few nesting items I’m overly attached to.
Oh, and I’m supposed to go through some websites and make a shortlist of vehicles that interest me.
Will they want it back when this is over? Mason told me in no uncertain terms he wants the carrier of his child to be as safe as possible, but what about after I’ve given birth and return to my life away from them?
Definitely don’t plan on selling my Honda. Just in case.
Ella said she’ll meet me at my apartment to help me pack. Okay, she might have given me an earful and demanded she meet the alphas, but she really did say she’d help. I just have no doubt she’ll continue to argue all the reasons this is a bad idea.
Throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I go about my morning ritual. After a quick shower and jeans-and-tee combo, I pad barefoot into the hall. The house hums with distant movement, someone vacuuming, maybe one of the staff Alex mentioned.
It’s easy to get lost here. Three alphas built this mansion for a family that never came. Until I put up that ad on a whim.
In a few weeks, I could be pregnant. That thought sits warm and heavy in my chest – terrifying and somehow right.
But one way or another, I’ll be actively helping these three men achieve their dreams. Kind of a heady thought.
After a few minutes of roaming around, I find my way to the kitchen and slow to a stop. A beta woman who looks to be in her mid-twenties is standing over the stove, stirring eggs and flipping bacon.
“Um, hi,” I say softly so as not to startle her.
She glances over her shoulder and smiles. “You must be Hudson. I’m Amy. I’d shake your hand, but I don’t want to burn your breakfast. Have a seat and I’ll make you a plate.”
I smile back but feel a little…uncomfortable. Not that there’s a woman in the house, but because she’s behaving as though she’s my servant or caretaker.
“Are you going to eat with me?” I ask as I make my way to the six-seater table positioned in the kitchen near a set of French doors.
As she plates the breakfast, she glances at me quickly then returns her attention to her task. “Do you want me to?”
“I mean, I’d rather you not think you’re my servant. And I’m feeling a little…”
“Lonely? Out of sorts?”
“Yeah. That. Both.”Among quite a few other emotions.
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed the alphas left me alone, that they work all day and night while I’m expected to live here and spend my days by myself.
But they did tell me I could have Ella over any time, and they left me a credit card to go shopping whenever I want for whatever I want.
How long will the buzz of new possessions last, though?
Amy fills a plate for her then carries both to the table, sitting across from me instead of beside me. Even with the distance, I detect her soft pear scent drifting from her. She’s really pretty, too.
Did the alphas bother offering her the same arrangement? Suppose that would be weird to offer your employee money to carry a child. It could probably be seen as some form of workplace sexual harassment.
What’s really weird is the twang of possessiveness that turns my stomach at the thought of Amy having sex with Mason, Alex, or Des. Hell,Ihaven’t even had sex with any of them.
