Ruby

I woke up the next morning to strong arms encircling my body.

"Mhm," I muttered, enjoying the warmth of whoever was holding me in bed. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I saw Wayne holding me in his arms while Rufus and Davy looked like they were sniffing my body.

I was so disoriented I thought for a moment that this was some kind of wild dream I was having. I blinked twice, confirming that they were indeed sniffing my every body part. Davy was literally smelling my armpits while Rufus was sniffing my pussy.

"Good morning, beautiful," rumbled Wayne.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" I asked, suddenly aware that I hadn't showered since yesterday's fair and our wild romp last night.

The two alphas exchanged confused glances before Wayne's face broke into a smile. "Ruby, I believe that you're pregnant," he said.

Shock washed over me, and I was instantly awake.

"Wait, what? How the hell would you even know that?" I demanded, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Some alphas can smell when an omega's scent changes even slightly," Wayne explained, his tone confident. "It might be too early for a pregnancy test to pick up on it, but I'm pretty sure."

"Oh damn," Davy said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "She's going to look so cute while pregnant."

"Are you sure, Wayne?" Rufus asked, his voice slow and deliberate. "We don't want to get ahead of ourselves."

"Don't believe me then," said Wayne as he stretched in the nest. "Damn, we need to make our omega a bigger nest, huh? My legs are fuckin' cramped."

"Look, I'm not believing anything until I take a pregnancy test. And right now, I need a shower," I announced, desperate for a moment alone to process this bombshell. There's no way he could tell if I was pregnant. My scent changed because I was sweaty as hell from the fair yesterday, that's all.

"Want some company?" Rufus asked.

"I'm sorry, but I need some time alone," I said, hoping not to offend him since all he'd ever shown me was care and love. Rufus nodded and kissed me softly on the lips before releasing me. I felt his growing emotions from the kiss, and I blushed unwittingly, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks as I rushed to the bathroom.

Leaning against the bathroom sink, I stared into the mirror, searching for some sign of the life Wayne believed was growing inside me. But all I saw was my flat belly and firm breasts, knowing in just a few months, I would never look the same. Was it possible that Wayne could be wrong? I gently touched my belly, contemplating the possibility of a baby on the way, and tears welled up in my eyes as I grew emotional.

A baby would change my life forever.

After a long, steamy shower, I emerged wearing only a white towel around my breasts. Davy sat on the edge of the bed, dressed in jeans and a shirt, holding out a pink pregnancy test as if he'd been waiting there the entire time for me.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"Wayne and Rufus are in the spare room," Davy replied just as I heard the whir of a screwdriver. Curiosity piqued, I looked into the room to find Wayne already building a crib with Rufus' help.

"Are you seriously doing this right now?" I exclaimed in disbelief when I saw the mess of all the crib parts on the ground. "You're all being ridiculous. We're not having a baby."

"Better to be prepared, Ruby," Wayne said calmly, not looking up from his task and hard at work preparing for this phantom baby.

Shaking my head, I retreated to the bathroom to take the test.

Setting the timer on my phone, I busied myself by blow-drying my hair while waiting for the results. When the timer finally went off, my heart raced. Flipping the stick over, I blinked back tears as the word ' pregnant ' stared back at me, clear as day.

My mind felt hazy as I returned to the bedroom, clutching the positive test.

"Ruby, are you okay?" Davy asked genuine concern in his voice.

"I…I always wanted to start a business. I wanted to have something before I mated with a pack," I admitted, my lips trembling.

"Hey, we'll never hold you back. We'll do whatever we can to help you," Davy said earnestly, and I looked at him with a newfound appreciation. We talked for a few minutes about my dream of opening a café or a service for omegas, and my heart felt lighter.

"I feel a little better now after talking to you," I said as we held hands tightly.

"I'm glad I helped," Davy said, smiling warmly, but as we looked into each other's eyes, my stomach clenched from shyness.

I drew closer to him.

His scent flooded my senses as I leaned in, planting a soft, hesitant kiss on his lips. Davy wrapped his arms around my back and pulled me in closer. His lips tasted like sweet citrus, and I suddenly couldn't get enough of him.

His hands roved over my breasts and waist, reaching down to grab my ass, pulling me onto his lap, and pressing me onto his growing need. I gasped against his lips as I felt his hard dick underneath me. He groaned into my mouth as he flipped me over onto my back.

He placed himself between my legs.

"I want you," he whispered, and I also felt a surge of need coursing through me. My heart pounded faster at the look in his eyes.

His usually shy demeanor had morphed into a primal alpha intent on claiming his omega. He traced a path of kisses down my neck, causing tremors to pulse through my pussy as he unwrapped my towel.

His warm hand massaged my damp breast, squeezing and kneading.

"Ruby," he growled in a husky voice.

"I'm all yours," I assured him breathlessly. He took one hardened nipple into his mouth as if he were a starved alpha. My hands clutched his short red hair as electric waves of pleasure swept through me.

Davy suddenly pulled back, leaving me panting and wanting more. He quickly unzipped his jeans, tossing them to the side. His cock stood straight out, ready to enter me after he had rubbed my pussy. Slick immediately dripped from me, ruining my clean skin from the shower. Heart pounding, he spread my thighs far apart before pushing his finger into me.

"You're ready," he grunted as he pulled his finger out, inspecting my wetness. Clear slick coated his finger, and heat bloomed from my chest.

"I am," I moaned.

"I won't make you wait long, baby," he said, climbing on top. Slowly, he eased into me, stretching me and filling me in a way that had me crying out with every inch of him.

His thrusts were slow at first but gradually picked up pace as I urged him on by clawing at his back. Feeling his length pounding into me, I widened my legs as he thrust to the rhythm of the hammer in the next room .

"Oh my god," I gasped as he pounded into me.

"Fuck," he groaned as his knot began swelling rapidly inside of me, hot streams of liquid invading my being as I climaxed at the same time. The sensation of him pulsing inside me took me over the edge as I cried out.

Davy collapsed on top of me, still buried deep within, as he tried to catch his breath. His fingers traced gentle circles on my back. As his knot gradually stretched another inch, locking me to him, he rolled me onto my side and wrapped his arm around me.

Our hearts were beating as one as I pressed my soft breasts against his hard chest and snuggled against him contentedly.

"I love you, Ruby," Davy whispered. I was shocked he was saying he loved me already while I was hesitant to say anything to the pack.

"I'm getting there. Soon," I said quietly, and he kissed the top of my head. Our moment was suddenly interrupted when Wayne showed up.

"Ah, Davy, you took care of her already. Thought I heard some knocking around going on," chuckled Wayne at the bedroom door, still holding his tools. He walked into the room and glanced at our conjoined, sweaty bodies on the bed.

"Oh no, I'm going to need another shower," I whined, and Davy grinned proudly.

"I see you've taken the pregnancy test," said Wayne as he sat on the edge of the bed. He had a direct view of my stretched pussy, and I could feel my face heating up as he stared at me. My right leg was hooked over Davy's waist as his knot was still holding me in place. Wayne patted my exposed bottom. "So cute and stretched out nicely for your alphas."

My pussy twitched around Davy's cock, and Davy groaned in pleasure at the movement.

"I want to tell my family about the pregnancy," I said.

"What?" said Wayne, taken aback by my words. "When do you want to do that? Isn't it too early?"

"Today," I said .

"Looks like she misses her family," said Rufus, joining us in the room.

"That too," I said. "But I think we should visit."

"Well, that shouldn't be a problem," said Wayne. "We will go as soon as you get cleaned up, or if Davy prefers you dripping in his cum…"

"No, I'm going to shower," I said firmly.

"That's settled then. We will take you to your family after I knot you in the shower," said Wayne with a grin.

Later that day, we were all sitting in my family's living room as I sat curled up on the couch, my pack sitting around me protectively.

Memories of the last time I was with my family flooded back- a heated argument with my father, tears streaming down my face, and my last kiss with Jasper. But now, Dad sat across from us, his eyes full of pride as he looked at me and my new pack.

"How are you doing, Ruby?" he asked, genuine concern lacing his voice.

"Better," I replied with a small smile, but my gaze conveyed how I was still heartbroken about Jasper. He nodded.

"I'm proud of you for making the right choice," he said softly. I looked down, not wanting to dwell on that painful chapter of my life. Then he looked at Wayne. "Why haven't you marked my daughter yet?"

"Dad!" I shouted, embarrassed as I jumped off the couch. Why did he fucking care if I was marked or claimed by my pack? Once I was marked, it meant I was going to belong to the pack forever, and we just weren't ready to take that step.

"This is very serious," my dad pressed as he kept his eyes on Wayne. He didn't even bat an eye. "You know why."

"What?" I said out loud as Wayne nodded .

"We're nearly there, but I get what you're saying," said Wayne cryptically.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I confronted Wayne.

"Daughter, don't curse."

Just then, Mom wandered into the living room, her expression lost and distant. I walked over to her and hugged her despite her smell. She didn't believe in using soap due to her delusions.

"Hey, Mom," I said, feeling sad that she was still the same. The alphas continued talking with my father while I focused on Mom.

"Ruby," she whispered, her fingers gently running through my hair. "I'm so glad you're safe."

She had always been overly concerned for my safety since the day I was born.

"Yes, I'm always going to be here, Mom."

"That's not guaranteed," she said, starting to panic. Julie walked into the living room to join us. A cloud of smoke followed her, and I knew she'd been smoking outside.

"I'm pregnant," I announced, and both women gasped.

"That's fast!" exclaimed Julia while the living room erupted in cheers. My dad's face was overjoyed, and he looked relieved for some reason. I was never going to understand his obsession with getting me mated off as fast as he did.

I looked over at my pack, and the alphas were grinning from ear to ear. For the first time in a long while, the house felt alive and happy. As we all mingled and chatted, I couldn't help but glance at the window, a pang of sadness hitting me as I remembered Jasper spying on me from outside. But that was the past, and it wasn't time to dwell on it as a new chapter in my life had begun.
