Chapter 27
After the concert, the guys found me in the dressing room. To say they were beyond pissed off for Gianna's lack of professionalism was an understatement. Zane went off on a rampage, demanding that Calvin fire her.
Griffin looked crushed and said something about being betrayed by someone who they worked so close with for so long.
But it was Everett's answer that made me want to mount him right then and there.
"The moment she disrespected our omega, she should have been gone," he said.
Calvin said he was going to see what he could do about getting rid of her, but it wasn't going to be easy because she was handpicked by his father.
Me? I was in a shitty mood and still am.
We spent the night at the hotel but boarded the tour bus this morning, which we are using for the rest of the tour.
It's been a few hours, and I've been in the back bedroom in a downright foul mood. I know I shouldn't be taking my anger out on the guys, but I'm just not in the mood to be around anyone right now.
Thankfully, before we left, Calvin was able to get some information on the woman and her child. They were both brought to the ER and were treated for minor injuries that I demanded the guys pay for.
They agreed right away and said they already planned to. They also said she would be compensated for their tickets as well as for their pain and suffering.
The woman refused to sue and was amazing about everything. She should have sued. I would have. I'm sorry, I love the guys, but Gianna dropped the ball on this one big time.
Before we left, the guys visited the woman and took photos and signed things for her on top of everything else offered. I plan on getting in touch with her and giving her life-long free tickets to their concerts. I'd love to see them fight me on that one.
Zane tried to scold me for running off the stage and putting my safety at risk, but he shut up real fast when I snarled at him and gave him a look that promised I'd rip his dick off if he said another word.
There's a knock at the bedroom door, drawing my attention away from the book I've been reading.
"What!" I snap, wincing when I hear how bitchy it comes out.
"It's me," Calvin says.
I sigh and place the bookmark in the book before setting it down next to me. "Come in."
The door slides open, and Calvin steps in. My eyes widen, and I curse the warm feeling in my lower belly when I get a good look at what he's wearing.
Calvin is dressed in a black T-shirt that hugs his body so damn well, showing off his sexy tattooed arms.
But the cherry on top is the pair of gray sweatpants he's wearing. I lick my lips as I memorize the outline of his very large cock, and my pussy clenches.
"Darling," he growls low and pained. My eyes snap up to his and heat blossoms on my cheeks. "Keep perfuming like that and this bus will quickly become full of feral alphas."
"I don't mind." I grin. "I love it when you all lose control." At least when it"s in the bedroom.
He gives me a look that does nothing to help, but I just shrug. "Mhmm," he hums, stepping in. "I have some news. Not sure if it's going to be what you want to hear, though."
My smile drops, and my stomach sinks. "What?"
He sighs. "The guys should be here for this."
I nod and climb out of bed. "I'll go out there."
I didn't even get to enjoy how cool this tour bus is because as soon as I got on, I went and formed my own little nest in the back. It was the only thing that kept me from losing my shit. I'm way too overstimulated and honestly glad we're driving there instead of flying, because I plan on making this bus my own.
When we walk to the mini kitchen, all three guys are sitting at the table. They look over at us and Zane is about to get up when I tell him to sit.
He glares at me but keeps his ass in place. Smart. I'm not pissed at them, they're just having to deal with my shitty mood.
"Hey, Tiny," Everett tries, opening his arms. I stare at him for a moment as he raises a brow at me, but I sigh, needing that comforting touch. Sitting in his lap, he wraps his arms around me and holds me tight. I sigh contentedly and snuggle, cursing myself for not being able to smell him.
I'm about to say fuck it and throw the spray into the trash, but I'm not ready to take that step with Calvin. Not yet. It's only been a week, and I still haven't had a moment of peace. I'm starting to think I'm never going to get one, and I'll have to decide one way or another.
"What"s going on?" Zane asks.
"I just got off the phone with Dad," Calvin tells him.
"Well, that must have gone over really fucking well." He sighs, rolling his eyes as he crosses his arms and leans back in his seat. "What did the asshole have to say?"
"That he's putting me in charge of managing the band for now, but he will not be firing Gianna," Calvin informs with a grim look on his face.
"Are you fucking kidding me!" Zane snarls as my stomach sinks. "Why the hell not? She's been nothing but an issue since Jade came into the picture."
"That"s another thing." Calvin's jaw ticks. "He's not too happy that Jade is here. He said that Gianna never had an issue regarding her job until... recently."
"So, he's blaming it on me?" I ask, hurt filling me. "I didn't do shit."
"I know, my darling," he says in a soft voice. "I told him just as much. That Gianna was acting a little too out of sorts and that maybe it was a jealousy thing on Gianna's part."
Maybe?Nah, that girl would have pissed on these guys if she could.
"It's not a maybe. You do know that she's in love with you three, right?"
"What?" Griffin asks. "I knew she had the hots for us. But in love?"
"You don't see the way she looks at you when no one"s paying attention. She sees me as a threat."
"Well, tough fucking luck for her because she never had a chance to be with us, and she knew it. We made it very clear from the start, our goal was to find you."
"And you think that would have stopped her?" I ask, raising a brow. "Fuck. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the reason why you never found me."
The whole room goes quiet as they all look at each other.
"You seriously haven't considered that?" I gape at him. "You mean when you looked into people who could have been involved, she wasn't one of them?"
They all give me a guilty look, and I'm up off Everett's lap in less than a second. "God, you guys are fucking stupid."
"That"s mean," Griffin mumbles with a pout.
"Calvin," Zane says his brother"s name in a warning tone.
"I'll look into it." He nods.
I sigh, shaking my head. God, they're so sexy but sometimes I think they share a single brain cell between all three of them. She was my first suspect.
"What else?" Everett asks.
"Dad is putting Gianna on social media management for now."
"Oh." I laugh. "Because that"s even fucking better. I might not know much about how this type of shit goes, but putting her in charge of their online image? That"s a shitshow waiting to happen."
"I know," Calvin sighs. "But it's the best I can do for now. Dad really fucking likes Gianna for some reason. Might have to do with the fact he's best friends with her parents and doesn"t want to piss off his business partners. What matters is she's not going to be in charge of anything on this tour anymore."
"But she's still going to be around?" Everett asks.
"Only at the concerts to take photos. My father doesn't see a big enough reason to fire her. In his eyes, Gianna made a mistake in not hiring enough security, and being rude to someone who isn't in the band doesn't warrant being let go."
"Yes, it fucking does if it's our omega. We should have fired her the first fucking day," Zane growls.
"I already said that." Everett glares at his boyfriend.
"That"s not all." Calvin turns to look at me. "You"re kind of all over the news."
"What?" My eyes widen.
He nods and shows me his iPad. There is a video of me rushing off stage and running over to help the woman.
"It's nothing bad so far. They all see you as a hero. But they also want to know who you are. And what you mean to the band."
"Is that good? Or bad?"
"It's good," he assures. "When we get to Paris, we have a press conference set up to address the incident and who Jade is to you guys. That is something you need to discuss between all of you."
I look at the guys as they all stare back at me. What do they mean to me? I love them, they love me. I know in my heart there"s no way I can leave them behind and move on with my life, why would I even want to? I finally have them back. If I lost them again, I don't think I'd recover.
"Are you okay with the world knowing I'm your omega? I don't think the fans who are like, in love with you are going to take too well to it."
"We're not hiding you, Jade," Zane tells me. "You"re not our dirty little secret. The only reason I haven't shouted it to the world yet is because everything has been going at warp speed for you, and I didn't want to scare you off."
"Thank you for that." I huff out a laugh. "Seeing how you kidnapped me to get me here, I didn"t think you had any self-control."
He gives me a low growl, but I just smile and flip him off.
"If the guys are alright with going public about me, I am too."
Everett's face lights up. "So, is this you saying that you"re officially our omega?"
"You don't want to wait until the end of the two months like we agreed?" Griffin asks.
"Dude, shut the fuck up!" Zane hits Griffin on the arm.
I laugh, biting my lower lip. "Are you okay with sharing me with Calvin?"
"Yes," Everett replies.
"It doesn"t matter to me," comes from Griffin.
Zane looks at his brother. "Just remember she was mine first."
I sigh, rolling my eyes. "Are you two ever going to get along?"
"No," Zane says bluntly.
"I wouldn't hold my breath," Calvin agrees.
"You didn't answer my question," Everett interjects. "Does this mean you"re officially our omega?"
A stupid, loopy grin takes over my face. "Yes," I answer, without a second thought. Because I am theirs. I was always theirs. Even when I didn't think they wanted me, they always owned my heart.
Everett jumps up. "Fuck yes!" I shriek with laughter when he scoops me up and carries me into the back room. He tosses me on the bed, then locks the door.
"What the fuck, man!" Griffin bangs on the door. "You are not fucking our omega without us."
"Watch me," he retorts with a smug grin as he pulls his shirt off over his head. A thrill rushes through me as liquid heat fills my belly. "Oh, wait. You can't."
Quickly, I get naked because this sexy tattooed rock star wants to fuck me, who the hell am I to say no?
