I need to do some online shopping right now, and pray it gets to my parents' house before they leave to come here.
"I forgot to do something!" I almost yell, running up the stairs before they can stop me. A couple of hours later, I've ordered gifts for each of them, a photo album for Sammy, a set of fancy-looking tumblers for her husband and a stack of children's books for their two sons. Hopefully, they like it.
Chapter Eleven
Vanessa
I'm relaxing in the hot tub while the guys are inside playing video games. The sun went down hours ago, and I haven't felt this relaxed and carefree in forever. Christmas is only a few days away, and our family will be arriving soon. I have to enjoy the peace and quiet while I can.
There's a rustling sound, and a second later, I hear a growl coming from somewhere in the dark. I smirk, thinking it's probably Zayne trying to trick me into thinking there's a bear out there. Like he did all those years ago.
"Haha, very funny, Zayne," I giggle, leaning out a bit to try and catch sight of him. "Instead of standing out there in the cold, why don't you join me in here? The water is perfect."
He doesn't respond, so I lie back in the water, deciding to enjoy the bubbles. There's a creak as if someone is coming up the porch steps, and then another growl. My eyes fly open when I realize it's way too animalistic to be Zayne. Standing on the last step, with its paw frozen in the air, is a grizzly bear, staring at me.
What the fuck was a fucking grizzly bear doing here in the middle of the fucking Winter?
Everything I've learned about how to handle a grizzly flies out the window, and I start floundering around in the water, screaming for the guys. The bear roars at me, but before anything else can happen, Mason runs outside, his eyes widening when he sees our new friend.He starts waving his hands, shouting at the bear. Zayne comes out with a bat and starts slamming it against the floor, making even more noise. I swear, the bear gives afuck this shit, I'm outlook and disappears down the stairs.
Silas appears next to me, lifting me out of the hot tub and carrying me inside. I'm shaking in his arms, either from shock or the cold. Who knows? He wraps a towel around me and sits down in front of the fireplace. "You okay, baby?"
"Why was there a fucking bear out there?" I sob, clinging onto him. "It's the middle of Winter. Shouldn't it be hibernating?"
"Sometimes they wake up looking for food," Zayne says, rubbing my back, the motion calming me. "It must have smelled the meat we cooked earlier and came to investigate. It's gone now."
"I'm never going outside again," I huff out, finally calm but still feeling dramatic.
"How did it even get so close without you hearing it? They usually make a lot of sound."
"I thought it was you trying to scare me again." I'm full on pouting at Zayne.
There is a beat of silence before all three burst into laughter. Mason pulls me tighter into him, and Silas leans down to boop my nose. I try to bite his finger, which causes them to laugh even more.
"You're so fucking adorable," Silas says, planting kisses on the back of my neck.
I'm about to protest when a cramp hits me out of nowhere, causing me to double over in pain. A whine escapes my lips, and I suddenly feel hot. So hot. I swallow down another whine and fan myself, the guys looking at me with concern.
"Ness, what's wrong?" Silas asks, his nostrils flaring. I can see him putting two and two together. My scent was potent.
"I think it's a heat spike." I sob when another cramp hits me. I was so stupid. They taught us what signs to look out for, but I've never had a heat before. You need to be around compatible alphas to trigger one. I didn't realize how quickly it could happen. "It hurts so much!"
Mason kneels in front of me. "It's going to be okay, baby," he coos, rubbing up and down my thighs. "Can I help you get rid of the pain?"
I nod frantically, and he quickly kisses my inner thigh before sliding my bikini bottom down my legs, exposing me to him and Zayne. "Touch me," I beg him, not caring what they see or how I look.
"Silas, spread her open for me," Mason commands and Silas hooks my legs over his, spreading me open. "You have such a pretty little pussy, Ness." He starts feasting on me, and Silas has to wrap his arms around me to keep me from bucking off his lap.
Mason circles his tongue around my clit and looks up at me through hooded eyes as he teases me. I grab the back of his head, my nails digging into his scalp as I pull him closer. Silas undoes my bikini top and starts playing with my nipples while kissing my neck. The two of them touching me at the same time sends me over the edge, and I cry out as I come.
It takes me a second to come down from my high, and shame sets in. They didn't ask for this, and one look at Zayne's face is enough to chase away the haze. He's frowning at us, his fists clenched at his sides.
"I'm so sorry," I sob, trying to get up, but Silas holds me tight. "I'm so sorry, Zayne. Please don't be mad at them. I'll leave."
Zayne marches forward, pulling me off Silas's lap and into his arms. "Ness, that was the hottest thing I've ever seen. You coming undone for my pack mates is so fucking sexy, and I want to see it again and again." He plants kisses all over my face, and I melt into his arms.
"Why did you look so upset?" I ask softly.
"I feel like a bad alpha," he admits, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "You deserve a nest and all the comfy things an omega needs, and we don't have them here. We set up the perfect nest for you to decorate back home, but didn't think to do it here. I'm so sorry, baby girl."
