Chapter 13

Ella

I spend all my time in Brody's nest now as Kellen is busy refurbishing my room.

There was smashing and hammering at one point, and I looked at Brody seriously concerned once the drills began.

The Omega just shrugged, then wrapped me up in his arms as he told me to trust the process.

This is what devoted Alphas do for their Omegas, and have I really become Kellen's Omega?

I still don't believe it. He never showed much interest in me before and he would always snarl at me when he entered the room.

The Alpha even blamed me once after Brody cut his finger on a knife, and he was pretty ridiculous.

"So, Kellen is just going to build my nest all by himself?" I ask, drawing a pattern around the tight muscles of Brody's chest.

He really is one ripped Omega. Apparently, I have the Academy to thank for his physique.

All the Omegas were expected to work on their bodies to appear more attractive to their Alpha suitors.

"That's right," Brody replies, eyes tapered as I continue my pattern around his neat six-pack.

"Won't he let the others help?"

He snorts at that and opens his eyes, peering at me through his glasses. "You serious?"

Of course.

How could I forget?

They're all in competition with each other.

"But wouldn't it be better if they all worked as a team?"

Brody sighs, reaching up to push his glasses back on his nose. "It would be, but they're all so dominant. They've been like this since I met them."

Which was pretty much around the time I met them.

Brody had literally just moved in when I turned up, and I still feel so bad about that.

Maybe I am the reason why they all don't see eye to eye. Perhaps the Alphas could have learned to work in harmony if I hadn’t arrived.

I would have been sent to the gallows, and all four men could have lived happily ever after.

"Stop that."

Alarmed, I peer up at Brody.

His light brown eyes are incensed as he looks at me through his glasses.

I bow my head. "How?"

He raises a brow. "How did I know you were stewing in self-hatred? You get that adorable fold of skin between your eyes when you think too hard, Ella. Trust me, not even I could have saved those Alphas on my own. That's why I need you to help me fix them."

That's if they still can be fixed. I saw how pissed Alastor was when Kellen let me braid his hair.

Did he want me to give him matching pigtails too?

"You're right. They do need fixing," Brody sighs, gazing up at the ceiling of his nest. "It was actually Kellen who made the suggestion that they should get an Omega."

Now I do find that quite surprising. The Alpha isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, yet even he could see that they needed the softness that an Omega can bring.

Something sweet that could balance out their roughness.

"He had already built my nest before I arrived… and now here he is, building yours…"

Just then, we hear Kellen breaking out in song at the other end of the hall as he sings along to his radio, and Brody and I laugh.

I speak again, "The thing is, they're all trying to prove individually how they can all be the Alpha I deserve, yet I want them to do it as a team."

"True, but we can work up to that. I think Kellen needs this."

Well, at least Kellen is trying. He is almost catching up with Alastor now.

Theo is still leagues behind. At times, I'm not sure if he is even interested in me, but then he got me that glass slipper.

The Alpha does care, but he keeps to himself now. He’s even moved out of the house and is living in the garage now.

Upon Brody's instructions, I wrote a list of all the ways the Alphas can make it up to me, and Brody even gave me a few pointers.

When Theo finally finds the guts to look me in the eye again, facing up to his mistakes, I can read it out to him.

He is not going to like what I suggest. I even have suggestions for all three of them.

Something they can do together.

"So,” Brody whispers, running the pad of his finger up my arm. "Have you decided which Alpha you want to be bitten by, yet?"

My heart thumps and I close my eyes.

He shakes me. "Come on, don't be shy."

I open my eyes and meet his gaze. "Have you?"

He bites his tempting lips, and I just want to suck on that plump skin and sink my teeth into it. "I have… and I think I know who I’m going to choose…"

My eyes widen. "Ooh, who?"

He meets my eyes, and I already know his answer. Alastor.

He found me in the underground. But he can't bite both of us at once.

Brody said he wanted us to be bitten at the same time, and I guess this is going to be awkward.

He smiles. "It's fine, Ella. You can have Alastor."

I shake my head. "No, he is your Alpha."

"And he is yours too. I meant what I said when you returned. It's all about you from here on out."

It's not fair. We should both get to pick what Alpha we want.

Brody snorts. "It's a shame Alastor doesn't have two sets of teeth. Because that sure would have come in handy…”

My face crumples as I try to imagine such an anomaly, and Brody laughs even louder.

"Or two dicks to be more precise," I blurt.

Brody looks at me. "Two dicks? Someone's been reading monster smut."

Monster what?

He guffaws, and now he yanks up the sheets and buries us both.

The Omega starts sucking on my neck and I arch into his kiss, gasping for air when his lips trail down my throat, then past my breasts.

He slips his tongue in my belly button and then vanishes between my legs, licking my clit.

Just as I throw my head back, Kellen curses, and now his shouting can be heard all over the house.

"Oh, fuck! My finger…"

Brody lifts his face from my sex, and my lust glistens on his Cupid bow lips. Those lips purse next as he holds back another snort, and I can't help it anymore.

We both burst into a fit of laughter as the poor Alpha nurses his finger out in the hall.

These were the moments I missed most.

It's just so easy with him.

Finally, he returns to pleasuring me, and I come at last when his teeth find my clit, and then his finger, no, two fingers slip inside me, finding their mark as he brings me to new heights, and I wouldn't trade this moment for the world.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if it just ended up as the two of us.

But I do hope the Alphas come around.

Because I can’t help but wonder what all their fingers would feel like inside me at once.

My Omega may just explode.
