Cole grunts in agreement, his huge arm draped possessively over my hip as he pulls me closer to him so we're facing each other since we're still knotted. Damien pulled out already, but he's still close, pressed against me from behind. Lake is a little further down, his head resting on my thigh so I can reach down to stroke his hair.
This is bliss, Asher's terrible dad jokes aside.
Who am I kidding? I love that I'm the only one who gets to see this side of the famous, put-together musician. The reality that at home, he's a complete dork.
It just makes him hotter.
"He's right, though," Lake muses, tracing circles up my spine as he gazes up at me. "She has brought us together. In a way I honestly didn't think was possible."
"Me either," Damien admits quietly. When he nuzzles me, his breath falling against my throat, I feel the affection in his embrace. The adoration backing up his words. "I never knew it could be like this."
I bask in the warmth of their bodies, their scents mingling with mine. The air is thick with the musk of sex and satisfaction. My skin tingles where they touch me, little sparks of electricity dancing across my flesh.
"I never knew it could be like this either," I whisper, my voice hoarse from everything that just happened. "You've given me everything I ever wanted... and so much more."
Cole's arm tightens around my waist, his lips brushing against my temple. "You've given us more, Evie. You've made us whole."
His words settle deep in my chest, filling a void I didn't even know existed. I think back to the scared, insecure omega who first stepped into this house, desperate to prove herself worthy. How far I've come since then.
"We still have a lot to learn," Lake says, his voice thoughtful. "About each other, about being a pack. But we'll figure it out together."
"Together," I repeat, tasting the word on my tongue.
It doesn't feel scary anymore. It feels right.
We lie there in comfortable silence, our breathing syncing up as we bask in the afterglow. I can feel sleep tugging at the edges of my consciousness, but I fight it off, wanting to savor this moment for as long as possible.
"What are you thinking about?" Cole asks, his voice a low rumble against my skin.
I smile, tracing idle patterns on his chest. "Everything. How much has changed. How much I love you all."
"And we love you, too, Evie," Damien whispers, pressing a kiss to my shoulder. "More than you could ever know."
As I drift off to sleep, surrounded by the warmth and love of my alphas, I realize something.
I am home.
The End.
