Page 110 of Knot Their Omega

“I am,” I agree. “But I can’t do shit all the way in America, now can I?” When he can’t argue back, I smile. “So suddenly, my schedule is wide open.”

“We need the others’ approval!” Icarus emphasizes.

“Aww, look at you, acting like an Alpha,” I sweetly state in a mocking manner that I know makes his blood boil. “You’re going to make it easy for Rebel to pull off a rebellious act like getting a tattoo against her Alphas’ wishes.”

“Shut the fuck up,” Icarus growls.

“It’s Astraea,” she announces, drawing my attention to her as she slips out of Icarus’s hold so she can take the needed steps to stand before me and offer her hand. “Astraea. That’s my name. I didn’t get to introduce myself. I go by Rae for short.”

“Astraea,” I repeat her name, loving the unique power in the name.Goddess material.“Rae the Rebel Princess. Got it.”

“I’m not royalty,” she huffs and watches as I shake her hand, only to further grasp it so I can lift it until my lips press against the back of her hand. I can see the visible shiver that runs through her.

I can also see the primitive hunger in her eyes.

Not to mention the shift in the aroma surrounding us.

Fuck… just imagining her pooling with slick for me…

I have to stop thinking.

“In my books, you most certainly are,” I try to say as calmly as possible and add a wink. “So let me be a good prince and take my leave before my brother comes barging in here because if he uses that brain fast enough, he’ll probably track me down.” I move away despite how my body is screaming against it.

After working on Omegas for a few years, I know my limits, which is why I have to leave, or else my morals will be thrown out the fucking window when it comes to not fucking this beauty in my midst.

“Plus, I’m starving. I’m gonna order takeout for dinner. You guys want Chinese?”

“Sure,” Icarus agrees, sounding tired. “Anything to get you out of here.”

“Just admit you’re horny and want a little appetizer with ‘our’ temporary Omega,” I say as I pass him. I hurry to the door when I hear the safety going off on the gun. “See you downstairs!”

“Icarus! Don’t shoot him.”

“Hmph. Whatever,” he dismisses, but I can tell he’s annoyed he can’t do shit to me. From the groan sound that follows with a quipped moan, I’m confident I’m the least of his concern now that he’s alone with Astraea.

Rebel Rae.

I’m chuckling at that, but the moment I walk away, I realize how my heart is aching at being away.

Shit…

I knew meeting the right Omega could turn your life upside down in an Alpha’s world, but I truthfully never believed the power dynamic it carried.

Taking a deep breath, I pull out my phone, looking at the image of me and my sister.

Stolen from us because she couldn’t be matched with a better set of fuckers…

“It’s only temporary,” I whisper, trying to convince myself the ultimate truth. “No matter what, I’ll treat her right… so nothing bad happens like it did to you, baby sis.”

That’s a vow I know I can commit to.

The only problem is whether Nate Jr. can do the same.

Only One Shot

~NATHANIEL JR~

“Why is he showing up now?”
