Chapter Nineteen

I dreamt of a beautiful nest. One large enough for all my alphas, filled with their different but delicious scents, and decorated to perfection, exactly how I liked. Nests were the ultimate symbol of control. I chose who went in, where things went, what it smelled like. And my dream nest had three alphas in it, filling it with their scents and wrapping me up in their limbs so if anyone peered in, they wouldn’t know whose arms were whose and whose legs were whose. I dreamt of a perfect morning in my perfect nest.

The gentle rise and fall of my mattress was nice at first, but the out of sync rhythm with my own breathing quickly became annoying. I tried cracking an eye open but immediately realized it was too bright and shut it again.

When I tried to roll off, I extended my leg, which had apparently been bent all night, and it didn’t take too kindly to the quick movement. A cramp in my thigh all the way to my right ass cheek woke me up, however. I tried rolling over onto my opposite side to rub my ass, but something stopped me. No. Someone.

“Koda, what’s wrong?” Jenson’s voice finally resonated with my sleep-filled and pain induced mind.

“Cramp. Cramp. Ow.” I tried massaging the ass cheek, but Jenson’s fingers moved mine out of the way and dug in deeper. It hurt more at first and I tried to move away from his prying fingers, but Jenson didn’t relent. Finally, the knot seemed to work its way out until I could bend and straighten my leg without pain.

But just as soon as the pain disappeared, the memories came back from last night. The club. The drinks. The car ride with the subsequent tacos. My orgasm. Being claimed.

I covered my breasts, but Jen pulled my arms away, dragging me toward his chest. His purr was immediate, loud, and strong, pulling all of my attention and washing away my worry.

We sat there for a few minutes, my head pressed against his chest, and his hands rubbing up and down my spine. When his hands rubbed along my shoulders and down toward my collarbone, a dull prickling sensation spread from his fingers, feeling like the spot on my collarbone had been rubbed raw. I definitely needed a bandage to cover the bite wound.

And then the realization really hit me. I remember being claimed, remember Jenson demanding I ask for it, and then begging for his bite. More than just facts—I was bound to this alpha, to this pack. As a half-beta, half-omega, I had an alpha mate. When Monday came around, I’d be a mated half-beta, half-omega student.

Jen inhaled deeply, as if he was enjoying my plain beta scent. “Don’t be scared, little bear. Everything will work out just fine.”

“You can hear my thoughts?” I squeaked. I wasn’t aware the bond was that … intrusive.

“Not exactly. But the bond lets me feel every emotion you have, and I can piece the puzzle together.
