Chapter 15

Ella

B rody has been acting rather odd these last few days, and when I detected the scent of ozone on his clothes, it gave me pause.

Has he been talking to Theo again?

Has the Omega finally learned to forgive the Alpha?

However, Theo's lingering scent is still laced with shame and disappointment, rather than relief and satisfaction, so if they haven't made up, then what could they possibly be meeting for?

It's fine if Brody has decided to forgive him. It's still going to take me a good while, though.

Brody has been giving me pointers on ways to get Theo to make it up to me, and I keep adding to the list daily.

The nest is nearing completion, and, in the end, Brody and I decided to camp out in the basement to avoid all the noise and cursing.

Don't forget Kellen's awful singing too.

Brody pitched an old tent and grabbed all nineteen of his pillows from his nest, and we haven't left since.

While it may be a temporary nest, it's cozy and all we need.

I wouldn't care if my nest was hanging off the edge of a cliff, I'd still be happy, so long as I had Brody. We'd just stumble to our deaths together.

Brody plays cat videos on his phone, and yet again we laugh at the silly antics of those feline creatures.

"You know, when I first got here, I asked the guys to get me a cat," Brody announces next.

My eyes bug, looking like one particular cat on the internet in question. "Really? What happened?"

Why aren't we playing with a real cat now? Videos don’t quite cut it.

He shrugs, meeting my startled cat eyes. "I guess once you arrived, that all changed. You became my new priority."

Guilt cuts through me like a knife, and I turn away, closing my eyes.

Brody and the Alphas really had it good before I arrived. They were going to get a cat! A huge commitment.

"Hey, don't you dare blame yourself, Ella." He grips my chin and forces me to look at his face, but gently, of course.

There is nothing rough or forceful about Brody.

Well, unless he is fucking me with his tongue and fingers.

"You were all I needed after that. I would wager that I didn't even need the guys either."

"Don't say that. They really are trying to earn back your forgiveness…”

He shakes his head. "It's not my forgiveness they should seek."

I sigh, shutting my eyes again.

I'm not sure if I wholly agree. I still feel like an outsider, and I know I shouldn't.

Kellen is upstairs busting his ass just so I can have my own nest.

At the moment, I share Brody's. It has become our sanctuary, and the guys pretty much need a permit to enter.

Alastor won Brody's challenge at the shop, but I'll be honest, I think they all did pretty well.

Theo's glass slipper still echoes. It was a promise.

You will get your Cinderella story…

Can Theo really be a Prince Charming? Is that why he and Brody are meeting in secret? Is Theo hoping to get pointers about becoming a possible prince?

Could I possibly want four princes one day?

I never believed that I could even have one prince, but then I met Brody.

Changing the subject, I roll onto my side, facing him now. "We should do it."

Brody shows his dimples. "Do what?"

"Get a cat."

The Omega blinks. Then he chuckles and fixes his glasses. "Everything's a little hectic right now, but yeah, I don't see why not."

I almost squeal in happiness, and now I can't help but get excited for the future when I think about our cat.

"Anything for you, Ella," he whispers, kissing my lips.

Then he moves down my neck and I lean my head back on the pillow, arching toward his touch.

"So, what kind of cat would you like?"

"I… I don't care… so long as it's ours, I will love it…"

Brody smiles against my neck. "Anything you want, Ella. I will talk with Alastor since it was always his idea to get a cat."

The Omega stops at my breasts, wrapping his lips and teeth around my right nipple. My body trembles as anticipation shudders through me.

"Alastor likes cats?"

I suppose it does fit; he's just as mysterious and cunning, and when he smirks, it's almost feline.

I recall the time the Alpha found me in the closet under the stairs, and the way his green eyes glowed when he pressed his knee at my crotch.

He loved teasing me back then, but I was just his little plaything in the end.

Theo had said he'd never cared about me the day I left, but I like to think things have changed.

Alastor found me in the underground and even saved me from drowning when I was dreaming of Brody in the tub.

Would he save me from drowning now? Especially as I have the real Brody making his torturous way down my body.

"Oh, yeah," Brody says as he removes his lips and teeth from my nipple and makes his way to my belly button. His tongue vanishes inside. "I read it in his profile."

Profile?

Brody looks up, and his eyes are molten behind his glasses. "All the guys had written profiles when they first signed up for an Omega."

I would like to read those someday.

"You're not missing much. I think they were just trying to fill space. Theo said he liked elephants."

I laugh but stop short when Brody starts his way to my legs. "E-Elephants?"

"Yeah. I think it was code for something personally."

In my hazy state, my mind can't even think straight.

"Code for what?"

Brody chuckles, his breath tickling my wet pussy as he burns me with his gaze again. "For his big cock."

My heart pounds, and then arousal flushes across my skin when I think of that big cock in question.

"Fuck… you are really wet, Ella. Who knew talk of Theo's big cock would get you so aroused like that. Don't know whether to be jealous or aroused myself."

I try to distract my thoughts, thinking of something else. I may not be able to stand being around the Alpha right now, but I’d be lying to myself if I didn't think he was hot.

They all are. Alastor’s glowing green eyes, Kellen's wild red locks…

They all do things to my body. Even if they are assholes.

Maybe one day I can have a relationship with each of them.

"W-what did Kellen's profile say?"

Brody licks the seam of my sex, and my Omega mewls in excitement. "That he liked dogs."

Figures.

"Dogs are cute too, I suppose. But I'm more of a cat person."

"Me too, it seems. Never thought I'd be so invested in pussy until I saw yours, Ella."

Oh, fuck. He just turned this into another sex euphuism.

Finally, he slips his tongue inside me, and I explode at last.

Just one flick of his tongue at my clit and I come undone.

The Omega doesn't stop, and now his tongue thrashes me as he uses his teeth too, and when he pushes a finger inside, I come once again.

My toes curl when the lights dance in my eyes, and when I fall from my high, he returns to my face, letting me taste my slick on his tongue.

"One day, I am going to take you all the way, and I'll be damned if I’m not your first."

He's talking about my virginity.

Of course, he would be my first. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, I wrap my arms around his neck, meeting his kiss. "And I can't wait."
