“You’re not going to tell your alphas?” Keane whispered.
“Elliott only agreed we could tell you,” I said, locking eyes with Elliott.
Camp looked back and forth between us. “Okay, call me crazy, but I think you should for sure tell the guys who are here to protect you.”
After a few seconds, Elliott deflated. “Fine. Might as well. It’s all out now.”
“Don’t worry, El,” Keane said, putting his arm around the smaller omega. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“None of us will,” Riku said.

“That look in your eye’s making me nervous,” Colt said.
“Is it?” I asked, patting the bed beside me. “In a good or a bad way?”
“In every way,” he said, sitting on the bed to face me.
“I had it more in mind for you to lie down beside me,” I said, taking his hand, surprised to find his palm damp with sweat. “Colt, I’m not going to try to get you to do something you don’t want to do.”
Licking his lips, Colt said, “Okay. I wish I could give you what you want.”
My heart clenched. “Youdo.And I’m sorry if I’ve made you think otherwise. Now, come here and kiss me.” I puckered up.
Colt laughed. “You look like Ben.” Leaning in, he kissed me softly.
As the kiss deepened, we fumbled with pajama strings until we had each other in hand. Our soft moans filled the room, and our kisses became sloppy until Colt stilled, cum splattering on my wrist and forearm. When he recovered, he used it to finishjerking me off, and, arching my back, I grit my teeth as pleasure overwhelmed me.
We were cleaning up when there was a soft knock at the door. “It’s me,” Ben’s voice said.
“Come in!” Colt called, and Ben stuck his head around the door. “Ben, why are you knocking? This is your room, too.”
Color filled Ben’s cheeks. “I was afraid I’d interrupt. Besides, the guys are in our living area. We’ve been talking. Can you two join us? We have something to tell you.”
Colt looked at me, a question in his eyes, and I gave him a look to convey I didn’t know what it was about.
“We’ll be right there,” I said.
After Ben shut the door, Colt and I got dressed in silence. I, for one, was trying to think what Ben and the other omegas could want to talk to us about that could have arisen in the past hour, and I was pretty sure Colt was doing the same.
When we entered the living area of our side of the house, all ten omegas sat waiting for us, along with Maddox, who shrugged at me when I looked at him, and Bertram.
“What’s going on?” I asked, perching on the arm of the couch because there wasn’t anywhere else to sit and I was too old to sit on the floor like Colt was doing.
“You tell them, Ben,” Elliott said before leaning into Keane in the chair they shared and hiding his face behind the other man’s shoulder.
Ben began telling us about Elliott’s history. When he got to the part where Elliott’s birth father had been abducted with him and never seen again, and that he was something calledomega xand that both Ben and Elliott thought they were, too, my heart began to pound.
“I’ve never heard of omega x. Does Laura know about this?”
Ben shook his head. “Only Elliott knew until tonight, when he told me.” He gestured to the other omegas. “We just told them a few minutes ago.”
“Have you told us everything now?” Maddox asked.
Ben looked at Elliott. “I have.”
