Mori mentioned, “It’s like professional wrestling. The nice ladies have all the stamina, and the guys have to tag out and trade places.” She snorted, “That is if she doesn’t flip them over and bite the hell out of them.”

The Black Eagle chuckled. “I am enjoying this conversation. My own father claims that my mother locked him in her nest, and they didn’t emerge for six days.”

Mori looked at him. “Nest. Huh.”

He clacked his beak.

She chuckled.

Khytten paused. “So, the heat is a problem?”

Cadence shrugged. “Well, she’s already nearly naked, in heat, and about to be mindless. She’s on leave right now from Z-Corp, so I guess she doesn’t have to call in to work.”

Raek said, “I think I might need to notify Zera of her whereabouts.”

Cadence patted his arm. “Solid idea. You got an omega into your household, and then you gave her away... for free. Zera’s going to have an aneurysm.”

Esme chuckled. “So, if I were working for Z-Corp, they would come and get me?”

The two alphas flanking her were tense.

Cadence said, “She had us sign on to BDC so that the sexual nature of our interactions was taken into account. Of course, she didn’t know that Leska was an omega until Im-bar ran the tests. They are hella expensive.”

Tirra chuckled. “Yes, we are.”

Khytten blinked. “You are, and Nelith is. Oh. Was your dad an alpha?”

Tirra shrugged. “I don’t know. He was a bastardy thug. I am guessing that he sold his genes to Uradda because they were trying to organize their own alpha program.”

Khytten whistled low and leaned back. “Nelith and her kind are making a lot more sense.”

Salat nodded. “They found an omega and made more of them.”

Khytten rubbed her head. “Because they already had one and knew her genetics.”

He put his arm around her and rubbed her back. “Yes.”

“I should have warned Leska about the acceleration.” Khytten sighed.

Mori asked, “You think?”
