“Tons more! I’ll text you things my guys did for me that I liked. Some of their presents were awful, but they were from the heart, making me love them even more. You’ll have to buy your own bad gifts for her to fawn over.” I didn’t like the sound of that. I wanted her to praise me for all of them. “I’ll also tell Mom and the rest of the family so they know you two will be going MIA. Why am I not at all surprised that you called and my brother didn’t? You are a loving, worthy Alpha, and I guess my brother’s alright.” I could hear her smile. “Don’t forget to call work. You won’t be going in for a while.” She laughed again. “I’m so excited for you two. You are going to make her so happy and be wonderful daddies! I can’t wait to meet her.”
After that discussion, I felt better. I took her advice, which helped with my present shopping and how we decorated her nesting room.Daddies. We were about to start our family. It was wild. We’d been hoping for an Omega and a family. It’s why we moved from freelance work to a company. Fewer hours, and someone else was in charge of all the administrative details. This neighborhood had zero crime, was full of families, only fifteen minutes from the local wolf academy, and forty-five minutes from the Omega Center and Hospital in Devilswood. It’s an amazing suburb to grow our family, together.
Ryder and I didn’t care who fathered which child. We were going to be one big family. We were ready to spoil our little bird rotten.
I walked around the master bedroom, our ongoing project, and felt pride. Even knowing that we could’ve met our mate anytime, we never took steps to make our home Omega ready. But each time we saw Melody from afar, we each had the desire to make a place just for her. What started as new paint and blinds quickly morphed into a renovation to create the perfect nest.
To the human world, to already have a life planned out with someone you’ve never spoken to would be insane. For us, when our inner wolves talk, and the goddess pulls you to your mate, you listen. Mating magic was stronger than logic. We didn’t know her favorite dessert or music yet, but we understood we would be a perfect match.
The reason for my existence was to protect, cherish, and breed my mate. Second to her happiness was rearing our future children, then keeping our world safe from monsters. However, considering where we now lived, with only one tiny state forest to run, I didn’t foresee any monsters stumbling out of those woods. Now, Devilswoods had more activity, but we were only backup wolves for that area if a crisis arose in our realm.
Time passed quickly as I filled the custom-ordered bed with more blankets and pillows that Ryder and I covered to smell like us. Both nightstands had toys and lube that were recommended for an Omega's pleasure, and considering how she fucked herself with her vibrator, I’m sure she’d like them.
I was curious about how experienced she was. At her age, I’d had sex, but never a threesome or had a female let me stick my cock into her ass, which I would be doing soon to my little mate. During heats, inhibitions became nonexistent, and an Omega begged for all kinds of pleasure. They would cry out in pain if not sexually sated. It wasn’t ideal to have sex for the first time with your mate during a heat, but I don’t think we had a choice. Well we did, we had the choice to wait until after her heat was over, but I don’t think any of us would want to choose that.
The courting would have to be after her heat ended. To find out more about her, we used our skillset. We watched her constantly and heard her singing. Her name was fitting, and she was our little bird. She received a scholarship to one of the three main wolf campuses, Devilswood University, which was far south of the city and nearly two hours away from our home. The other two were Hollow U and Imperial State. They allowed students to live their wolf lives while experiencing college life. I almost felt bad; our little bird wouldn’t get to experience dorm life or college parties, but she would be kept in luxury with all her physical, emotional, and sexual needs met. Almost no other college student can tout that experience.
Ryder and I already discussed that we could use one of his family’s apartments in the city during the week to make sure she was able to go to classes easily. It would also be close to the Omega Center and Hospital. Shifting can happen during the birth, so it’s best to be at a wolf facility or home. We had no plans on clipping her wings. We wanted to enhance her life. I bet she’s in her room now, thinking of a new life, something different from what she dreamed of weeks ago. But we will talk about all of that after her cycle ends. I rechecked the fridge to make sure we had enough drinks. We had high-protein meals and sweets prepared to give her strength during moments of clarity. The bedroom and ensuite bath were equipped and ready for her.
The sun was lower in the sky when I heard male voices coming from next door. I saw Richard and a man that looked a lot like him get in a truck and leave. That meant our Omega was alone at last. Excitement and heat raced through my veins as I ran back downstairs to Ryder, who had cleaned up his mess and was dressed in a new shirt.
“We’ve waited long enough. Let’s go get our mate.” I grinned from ear to ear as I picked up the box with her name and shook it.
Ryder chuckled. “You grab the box, and I’ll grab our mate. Let’s go.”
CHAPTER FIVE
MELODY
Iwasrelievedtobe alone. I got out of bed, removed my slick-coated clothes, and pulled out a box from under my bed. I’d ordered some lingerie. I knew it was pointless because little bits of lace didn’t have a chance with Alphas, but at least I could look pretty for the first time. I looked over to Ryder’s room. Sadly, it was empty. Where was he? Did they get called in on an assignment tonight? I couldn’t freak out. They would come and be here for me. I knew they wouldn’t leave me like this. I know they scented my perfume last night, and seeing how needy I’ve been for them, they had to know what was coming.
I quickly checked my phone. I had a notice about a package delivered to the front porch. I sighed. I'd at least have something if I had to get through this alone at first. Shit, then I’d have to drive nearly an hour to the Center and take whatever Alphas they had on standby. I wasn’t going to let these negative thoughts invade my mind yet. There was still time. I knew in my heart I had mates that were going to save me from being alone during this.
I went down the hall to take a scalding shower that felt so good. My muscles were tense, and my mind was racing in fear. But the soothing water calmed me. I eventually sunk into the tub as the water ran down my body into the drain. When it turned cold, I dragged myself up and dried off. I normally loved our towels, but today they felt itchy. They lacked their usual fluff. Goddess, I was turning into a snob, I wanted to cry, but I knew I couldn’t help it.
Once I returned to my soft, purple-covered room, I threw my towel to the floor and stood naked in front of the mirror. I dragged the lingerie out, working it onto my feverish body. I adjusted my breasts in the white satin and lace push-up bra. With a little jiggle they were in place, and damn, I looked good. My body was rounder, fuller, making me look more feminine and fertile. I’d never been so happy to spend a stupid amount of money. The luxurious fabrics and fit made me happy and relaxed. My fingers drifted over the material, sending chills through me, and I felt sexy. I grabbed the matching thong off my bed. It glided up my legs and settled between the globes of my ass. It was a new sensation, I was usually a practical cotton hipster kind of woman, but I was entering a new world. Last was the short, white satin robe.
I was tempted to rumple my new attire by reaching into my nightstand, but that thought was interrupted by a loud knock at the front door. Each bang sent a flutter directly to my core. My heart raced in excitement as I felt slick trickle down my thigh. These panties were useless. I whimpered and ran down the steps to the front door. I didn’t bother looking out the peephole. I knew. My body knew what was waiting on the other side. My hand was on the cool metal of the handle and lock. I just had to turn each.
“Melody, we have something of yours.” Ryder’s low, husky voice made me whimper.
“Sweet songbird, open the door. You’re in pain. Let your Alphas take it away.” Cody soothed me as I flung open the door.
“Goddess, you are even more gorgeous in my arms,” My tall, dark male sank to his knees as he pulled me into his arms and inhaled. He nuzzled my neck, coating his face with my scent. “We’ve waited our entire lives for you, Melody.”
Cody growled as he snatched me up and cradled me in his arms. I turned my body into him, soaking up his strength and comforting dreamy scent as he started moving. “We need to get you home.” His mouth was next to my ear as he whispered, “Luckily for all of us, it won’t take but a minute.”
I giggled. “I never expected my Alphas to smell so sweet.” They didn’t stop walking. I turned to see the confusion on Ryder’s face, along with a big brown box that was still sealed under his arm.
“Our warm cinnamon cookie, what do we smell like?” I could hear a smile in Cody’s words.
“You,” I dragged my hand down his chest, and he growled, “smell like one of my favorite summertime treats, a sweet and creamy strawberry pie.”
“You want to eat me up?” Cody’s words were laced with desire.
“Oh yes. I want to taste it directly from the source.” I was baiting him and loved it.
“Melody, love, you are going to be in so much trouble later for how you have mercilessly teased your Alphas. You’ve been downright bratty. How does my hand on your ass sound?” Ryder joined in the conversation.
