“Fuck,” Finn gasped. His arms banded tightly around me, hugging me to his chest, shielding me. “My naughty girl, being all greedy and taking your alpha’s knot.”
“Mine,” I said, scent-marking his neck.
Finn’s laugh vibrated against my cheek. “That’s right, sweet girl. All yours.”

I groanedas the mattress dipped and someone slipped into the bed behind me. In my sleepy haze, I forgot to be panicked. And then I was surrounded by Lars’s scent.
“What?” was the only word I could mumble.
“Fucking Finn didn’t come home. No way am I going to be the last one to spend the night with you.”
That was absurdly sweet.
“Where’s—” Before I could find the energy to form a full question, the mattress dipped again, but this time, a body was trying to squeeze between Finn and me from the bottom of the bed.
Finn tightened his hold on me. “Easton, get off me,” he groaned.
Easton stopped when his face was level with my pussy. He wrapped his arms around my legs. “This is the perfect sleeping position for me.”
“That can’t possibly be comfortable.” My voice was soft as sleep clawed at me again.
A tender kiss pressed to the back of my neck. “Just go to sleep, sweetheart, with your whole pack around you.” Lars’s words were so precious, I collected them up and held them closeto my heart.
It would takea while for me to get used to waking up in a tangle of limbs.
I couldn’t believe Lars and Easton snuck into bed with us. Maybe I should be upset with them for breaking into my home and coming into my nest uninvited, but my omega was too busy basking in the glory of having her alphas around her to muster up any irritation. Besides, Easton had been honest about his stalking tendencies.
My alphas.
My chest clenched at the thought. Were they really mine?
For the first time, I let myself imagine what life with the three of them could be like. Waking up like this every morning, spending time with Lars’s family, going into town because it wasn’t so scary when they were with me… Maybe even going through a heat together.
A thread of anxiety worked through me, wrapping itself tightly around my heart. The voices of those other alphas filtered in.
Too needy.
Too loud.
Too whiny.
Not enough. Not enough. Not enough.
My guys wouldn’t be like those alphas during my heat. They wouldn’t speak to me like that, wouldn’t treat me howhedid, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t think the same things. And regret being with me.
I scrubbed my eyes with my hands. It was too early in the morning to dwell on something that was still weeks away.
I was tempted to stay all tucked in with their warm bodies against mine, but the ocean was calling me. I was already feeling a little off-balance and needed my morning routine to get me back on track. I started my slow wiggle to escape the guys’ holds. I didn’t want to wake them, but they had me trapped. I’d almost managed a full extraction when a large hand grasped my ankle.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Lars’s deep growl sent a shiver through me.
“Just out for a quick swim,” I whispered. “Go back to sleep. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
Easton let out a groan. “Baby, please,no. This is anevery morningthing? Must put a stop to it. The morning is for sleeping and cuddling, not freezing cold water.”
