All heads snap my way. Both Alphas stand tall, with looks of confusion on their faces.
“Lulu!” the twin brother says. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Gavin,” Lulu reassures him.
“Ally?” Liam’s voice sounds broken and confused. My heart breaks for him. This is something he’s always dreaded and hoped for at the same time.
Taking a deep breath, I lead Lulu over to Liam. “Lulu, this is Liam. Liam, this is Lulu.”
Liam looks down at Lulu like she’s some lost gem he’s been looking for his whole life, and I’m not going to lie, it fucking kills me. But I need to remind myself, they have no control over this.
“Hi,” Lulu whispers.
Brady lets out a low growl, getting my attention. He looks at Lulu and Liam like he’s ready to rip his head off.
But when his eyes meet mine, there’s an undeniable force between us. Fuck me. This is my scent match. My Alpha. He’s mine.
“Hi.” I step towards him. “I’m Ally.”
He swallows hard. “Brady.” His voice comes out all gruff, and I’m not sure if it’s always like that or from all the shouting. Either way, my body reacts.
“So,” I laugh, feeling like a giddy schoolgirl. “Guess we’re scent matches?”
“Ahh.” Brady’s brows furrow together.
“I’m sure there’s a lot going on inside that head of yours.” I look him up and down. “That sexy head of yours,” I grumble, making his brother Gavin chuckle. “But here’s the deal. YourOmega over there? She’s Liam’s scent match. Now, before you freak out, no, this does not mean you lose her. And just because you’re mine now, too, doesn’t mean I’m going to make you break up with Lulu.”
“You're not?” Both Brady and Gavin ask me.
“I’m not a monster.” I cross my arms. “I know how much you care and love Lulu. I’d never try to come between that.”
“And how do you know that?” Gavin asks with a playful smile on his lips.
I just wink at him before I continue talking. “You see here, your girl over there–” I point to Lulu, who’s standing next to Liam, unsure if she should climb him like a tree or keep her distance. This is going to take some getting used to. “She’s someone I’ve been wanting for a very long time.”
“Ah, the same goes for me.” Lulu pipes up, making both Gavin and me smile.
“And the same goes for her.” I grin. “So. We’ve decided that because I’m scent matched to you.” I point to Brady, really, really wanting to climb into his lap and ride him like a pony. Seriously, how is Lulu resisting Liam right now? I mean, the man is a fucking snack.
Focus, Ally!
“And she’s scent matched to my bodyguard over there. We’re going to join packs.”
“Oh, are you?” Nate chuckles from nearby.
I spin around and grin at him. “Yup!”
“You want this?” Gavin asks Lulu.
She looks up at Liam, then over to Brady, then back to Gavin. “I do.” Her voice breaks. “I can’t lose you two. But—” she looks up at Liam with need in her eyes.Oh, babe, I know that feeling well.
“But you can’t be without your Alpha,” Gavin says knowingly.
“And while technically Liam isn’t my Alpha, I’m very much madly in love with him. And despite what he’s let himself believe for years, I’m not giving him up.”
“Ally,” he says my name, making me shiver. “What are you talking about?”
“I’ll be right back.” I place my hand on Brady’s arm, and fuck me, there’s this zap that has me nearly cumming in my pants. “Wow,” I whisper before shaking my head and going over to Liam.
