I whimper as I nuzzle my face against him. I need him so much it scares me.

He’s my Alpha. Mine. A piece of me, my heart and soul.

“Untie my hands, baby. Please, I want to hold you, okay?”

Nodding, I pull back with blurry eyes and use the knife to release his wrists.

The moment they're free, he wraps his arms around me in a tight hold.

It’s exactly what I need. His scent and touch calm me.

I love this man. I don’t care if I’ve only known him for less than two weeks. He’s mine. I don’t want to be without him.

Caleb holds me while I cry, whispering praises in my ear. “I love you, Savvy, so fucking much.”

“I love you too,” I whimper, clinging to him for dear life.

He starts to purr. The sound mixed with the rumbling of his chest has my eyes growing heavy.

I start to drift off to sleep, his knot still inside me, joining us together as he rocks us. His hand plays with my hair as he continues to whisper to me.

I let sleep take over, knowing that I’m safe in this man's arms and nothing will happen to me.

Maybe I’m dreaming, maybe it’s all in my head, but I swear I can feel one of my broken pieces find its rightful place.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever be whole again, but I think these men, my pack, my everything, are going to try their hardest to do so. They're already doing it.

Chapter 28

Leroy

I’m on my way to gocheck on the baby when the sound of my Omega’s voice has me slowing. A smile slips onto my lips when I peek around the door to the nursery and see Savannah sitting in the rocking chair with Athena in her arms.

“And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee all the way home,” Savannah coos, playing with Athena’s toes, making her burst into laughter as Savannah runs her fingers up her body to tickle her belly.

The high-pitched baby giggles have my heart melting.
