Getting out of the truck, I groan when I find the back door shut, leaving me to have to walk around to the front.

“Let’s head back in there,” a gruff male voice says. It has the hairs on the back of my neck standing straight up.

“We wouldn’t have to leave if you didn’t need a smoke. A bad habit you’re going to have to quit if you’re going to be around Lexi.”

At the mention of my girl's name, my lip curls up into a sneer. Turning around the corner, I find two men leaning against a big,expensive truck. I don’t have to be close to them to know they’re Alphas. The ones that were probably seen with Lexi.

Anger bubbles up inside me, and I don’t stop to think rationally. I should go inside, find Lexi, and talk to her, but my protective instincts override any rational thoughts.

“Hey!” I shout, hands fisted at my side as I storm over to them. It’s dark, but the street light above them is enough for me to get a good look at them.

They both turn their heads toward me, and my heart stutters.What the fuck was that?

The blond one with the cigarette takes a drag before blowing out the smoke. “Can we help you?” He raises a brow.

“Who the fuck do you think you are?” I snarl, stopping a few feet away. I don’t trust Alphas any more than Lexi does. But I’ve been around them enough to be able to handle my own.

“I’m sorry, there must be a misunderstanding,” the dark-haired one replies. “We haven’t done anything.”

“Really?” I narrow my eyes. “I’ve been told otherwise. What do you want with my girlfriend? And be careful how you answer that question.”

“Your girlfriend?” The blond flicks his cigarette butt to the ground, blowing out another stream of smoke before stubbing it out with his foot. “If you’re talking about the redhead in there, she came on to me, buddy.” He holds up his hand. “I told her I was taken, not my fault.”

“Lexi.” I glare at him. “Who the hell are you? What the fuck are you doing in my town? And what the fuck do you want with Lexi?”

The blond guy's eyes light up. “Oh, ho, ho,” he chuckles. “It’s Emmett, the Omega boyfriend.” He nudges the dark-haired one on the arm, whose eyes widen in surprise. “We’ve been wondering when we were going to meet you. I gotta say, baby,” he says to his Alpha friend. “He’s fucking hot. Say...” He cockshis head to the side, eyeing me up before licking his lips. “Do you like men?”

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I snarl, taking a step forward.What a fucking creep.“Just get in your fucking truck and leave.” I point towards the road. “Or I’ll call the sheriff and have him escort you out.”

“I’m gonna have to politely decline,” the blond one chuckles.

“Sloane.” The dark-haired one looks at him with a stern expression, but his friend ignores him.

“You see, that pretty little Omega is gonna be ours.” He grins. “Looks like you’re going to have to share.”

My nostrils flare as fury shoots through me. I reach for my gun and aim it right at him. “Stay the fuck away from Lexi,” I demand, my voice low and dangerous.

“Whoa,” the dark-haired one steps in front of Sloane. “Ignore him, he’s a fucking asshole. We are not here to steal Lexi. There’s a lot she has to talk to you about. How about we go inside and find her? We can talk this out.”

My hand is shaking, my head snapping side to side between the both of them. What does he meanLexi has a lot to talk to me about?

What is going on? Does she know these men and it wasn’t just a conversation that happened today? Has she known them since they’ve gotten into town and not told me?

“Put the gun down,” Sloane says, putting his chin on the dark-haired Alpha’s shoulder, then wrapping his arms around his waist. “No one needs to get hurt.” He grins, kissing the other Alpha's neck. “Aiden, I want him,” he groans. “My cock issohard right now.”

“Fuck off, Sloane,” Aiden growls. “Or I’ll let the poor guy shoot you. Do you not understand how confusing all of this is? Lexi is going to hate us,” he curses. “Please. Put the gun down.”

My head is spinning, my heart racing. I’m so fucking confused right now.What is going on?

“No.” I shake my head, getting closer. “Not until you tell me what you want with my girlfriend.”

I’m right in front of them now, they’re so close. And that's when it hits me. The cool autumn night air blows, sending two very intense smells my way.

Apple cider and burnt marshmallows.

The hand with the gun starts to shake, my lips parting in shock, eyes widening in horror.No.

My cock thickens beneath my jeans as slick gushes free.
