The last thing that I would do would be to force an Omega. With me, Cricket has choice and consent. He has to make the decision to leave his pack and join the Wolves. And he just has.

I nod.

Chase smiles, before his expression darkens again, as he redirects his attention to Hudson. “Thanks for the kind offer. But we want something more precious than diamonds.”

Possie snorts, slipping her arms around her Alpha sons like she’s the picture of the loving mom. “The knothead means Cricket. He must be the one that our little slut has been whoring himself to. I told you that I thought he’s been earning some secret money for himself through being a cam Omega on something like OnlyOmegas.”

One of the Alpha boys snicker.

I glare at him.

Cricket’s blush deepens. “I d-didn’t. I h-haven’t…”

Chase shrugs. “Shame. I’ve been considering having fun as a cam Alpha. I have the ass for it.”

I choke on my tongue.

I’d love to see my brother’s uber dominant and possessive Alpha, Feral’s, reaction to that.

I’m certain that Chase is joking to make Cricket feel better.

Still, I never know with my brother.

To my surprise, Cricket chuckles.

He darts a glance at Chase and then me. “Your Alpha?”

“My brother.”

“He’s nice.”

Warmth floods through me.

I’m not sure that anyone has ever called Chasenicebefore.

Unhinged. Cocky. Self-destructive.

But notnice.

I push Cricket’s wet curls out of his face, glad that his shivering has reduced.

I pull him even tighter against my side to share my warmth. “Chase is your pack now. I have an Omega brother too. He’ll be excited to meet you.”

“Excited?” Cricket whispers in shock, as if he can’t imagine that anyone would be excited to meet an Omega like him.

He’ll need to get used to it, especially with Piper.

Hudson’s contemptuous gaze settles on Cricket, making him shrink back. “I don’t care what you do with my son. He’s worthless. If you want him, take him as a fucktoy. Why would I fight for my son, when he’s going to be dead soon anyway?”

CHAPTER FIVE

Bliss’ Bedroom, Haven

Dead.

Dead soon anyway…

I hold Cricket closer to me in the nest of my bed, wrapping my arm around him.
