“Count your days, Detective Davis,” I murmur, leaning back in my seat. “Because they just might be numbered.”
Chapter 15
Nova
The sounds of kids laughing fills my heart. Standing next to Will, I watch with a big smile on my face as the kids run around carefree. Clean, well fed, and happy.
“Look at her.” I laugh as Rica grabs Tyler’s hand, pulling him towards the bouncy castle. The teenage boy doesn’t look too happy about it, but he goes, pleasing his little cousin. He loves her so much. That little girl has him wrapped around her finger. “She’s so happy.”
“All thanks to you,” Will murmurs, wrapping his arm around me. I sigh softly, sinking into his touch. His eggnog and cinnamon scent settles over me like a comforting hug.
Things between me and the guys have slowly become... normal? If you can call it that. For the most part, I hang out with Ian while Will and Nick do club stuff. I’ve been spending less and less time here. Not that I don’t like it, it’s just I feel like I’ve been neglecting my needs to put the MC first.
I was determined to get the kids taken care of and for the most part, things have been going well. They have everything they need and their mothers have been working hard to change. Most of them lost their fathers, but I don’t think it had a very big impact, at least not on the women. I highly doubt they played any part in taking care of or raising their children. Not that their mothers really did much of that before we showed up. But again, they’re showing they meant what they said, they’re changing. That's what matters.
Well, most of them. Julia has been keeping Rica cared for, but I can tell she’s only doing it because she has to. I don’t seeany love in her eyes for her daughter. It’s so damn sad, it breaks my heart.
My eyes find the woman in question. She’s not watching her kid, no, her eyes are on Will and me. She looks jealous, like she wants what I have. It makes my stomach turn and also makes me want to claw her eyes out.
She’s supposed to be seeing these men as her stepsons, but the vibe I’m getting is she wishes she was me. That she was their Omega instead.
Fat fucking chance you crazy bitch. Touch my Alphas and I’ll fucking kill you.
Just to piss her off, I give her a big smile and wave.
She scowls harder before looking away.
“Don’t poke the bear, Little Rabbit,” Will warns.
“Why not?” I pout up at him. “It’s fine. Plus, I hate how she looks at you guys. Like she wants you,” I scoff.
His body stiffens, eyes darting away.
“What was that?”
“Huh?” He looks down at me.
“You reacted to me saying she wanted you guys.”
Will growls. “I don’t give a fuck what she wants. You are my Omega. I don’t want anyone but you, least of all her. She’s a snake, Nova. She might look harmless but she only cares about herself.”
“I believe it.” I look back out at the kids. “This is her child's birthday party and she looks like she’s being forced to get her nails pulled out.”
“Kane should have left Rica in our care. We can raise our little sister better than she can.”
“No arguments from me.”
“You would be okay with that?” he asks, looking down at me with curiosity.
“I mean, yeah. I love Rica, she’s a good kid. I mean, I never wanted kids before but that was because of the life I was living. Now?” I smile. “I don’t know. If it was something you guys wanted, I’d be down to pop a few babies out.”
Will turns to face me, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me flush against his chest.
My heart starts to race and I’m glad I’m wearing scent blocking panties because I am so wet right now from the way his intense green eyes are staring down at me.
My nipples harden into stiff peaks, pussy clenching with need. Will grips my chin and my breath shudders. “You have no idea how much I want to see you big and round with my baby,” he growls, and fuck me, I whimper, my knees growing weak. “To fill you up, mark you as mine, show the world whose Omega you are”
“Will,” I whimper, panting heavily now.
