When I glanced out the window and saw Colt’s green Subaru Outback pull up in front of the house, I hurried out to greet him.
Colt chuckled when I threw myself into his arms. “I’ll never get tired of your welcomes,” he said, giving me a squeeze before letting me go. He looked at the rental car. “They’re here, huh?”
“Yeah, come meet them!”
I pulled Colt by the hand into the house and introduced him to Carter and Jackson.
“Nice to finally meet you,” Colt said. “I’ve heard a lot about you from David and Ben.”
“Likewise,” Carter said. “You’re an old friend of Maddox’s, right?”
“We grew up together, but I guess you’d say I’m more of Angus’s friend.”
I looked past Carter to Angus, who was watching Colt with a proprietary look on his face.
Jackson looked confused, and I realized no one had told them about me and Angus and Colt.
The three of us went into the kitchen and I began setting the table while David checked on the food on the stove.
“What am I missing?” Jackson asked.
David looked over his shoulder at me.
“What do you mean?” I asked Jackson, because I wanted to hear what he’d picked up on.
“Well, I might be wrong, but it kind of feels like you’re with Colt, but it also kind of feels like you’re with Angus. David told me a while ago that he thought you’d formed a partial bond with Angus.”
“Did he tell you that Angus and Colt had something going on?” I asked.
Jackson glanced at David. “He might have said something like that.”
“He was right. What you don’t know is that Colt and I were getting close, too. They told me they wanted all three of us to be together. So, we mated.”
Jackson’s eyes widened. “Really? You’re an omega with two alphas?”
“Is that weird?” I asked.
Jackson shrugged. “Who knows when we barely know anything about omegas? If it feels right, it must be.”
I smiled. “I agree.”
Later that night, after everyone got settled in their rooms, Jackson, David and I went into David’s sewing room to talk. Throwing some pillows and blankets on the floor, we made ourselves comfortable for a chat. Jackson and David both had a lot of questions about what it was like being mated to two alphas.
“It hasn’t even been a week yet; how would I know?” I asked. “I’m the one who is newly mated, you so two have to answer my questions. I want to know how long I’m going to feel all weird when they’re away from me.”
“It gets better, although if Carter’s gone more than a day or two, I feel pretty bad,” Jackson said.
“Yeah. All squirrelly. And no appetite,” David agreed.
That sounded awful.
“At least with two alphas, if only one is gone, you probably won’t feel too bad,” Jackson reasoned. The sound of a baby crying had David getting to his feet. “I need to go feed Ollie. Sometimes he has trouble getting to sleep.”
“Goodnight, David,” both Jackson and I said. I was suddenly reminded of the years we lived together in Gleesa’s house.
Jackson leaned close to me and whispered, “Have they any clue about Oliver’s biological character classification yet?”
I shook my head. “Maddox thinks he acts like an alpha, but who knows?”
