1. Reckless
Kathrine
If my parents knew that I was going out to the opening of the hottest new club in town and going to dance my heart out, I wouldnāt be allowed out of the house in the first place.
I went out with my friends while I was still in heat. Okay, Iām not trying to be a baddie, but I truly thought that the heat suppressor was enough since it was my last day. Sage, my bestie from elementary and Augie our reliable Beta, who was studying to be a doctor assured me so too.
But then I was proven wrong when I bumped into the two sexiest men I have ever met. Granted I never go out much because I was an Omega, but I went whenever I could. Though tonight was definitely not a good night for me to go out.
āI can smell you from the entrance.ā The taller guy with the black leather jacket growled seconds before he took me away from my friends and I squeaked.
Panic mode...on.
Fuck...this is not good.
āWhy are you in a crowd in your heat? Are you trying to get yourself raped?ā The man exuded Alpha dominance as he asked while his friend who was wearing a brown leather jacket and supporting the sexiest long hair Iāve ever seen in a man, flanked my other side. Damn, he can surely rock that manbun. I watched the Beta as he easily calmed my friends and both Sage and Augie looked like they were ready to kneel and kiss his ring. Okay, I may have been bingeing too many mafia movies.
āHey, look at me,ā the hot Alpha demanded as he took my attention away easily to his beautiful grey eyes. Hell, I didnāt know how I got my brain to even function when my hand felt his chest. The man was strong and muscular, he was a very strong Alpha. My Alpha.
Wait...what the hell?
Okay...what was he asking me again?
āW-what? I...I took my suppressor. Augie said studies show that it works on other Omegas.ā
āBut not on you, because I can smell your heat.ā He whispered in my ear, leading me from behind, while his hand was on my curved waist. And out of nowhere, the long-haired Beta was on my other side. āAnd I can smell it because Iām your mate. Because weāre your mate.ā The blue-eyed Beta took us into a room. It looked like an office. A deserted one.
āY-you? W-we? Where are my friends?ā
The Beta moved back, he too seemed to be overwhelmed by our situation.
The hell? Whatās with all the stuttering? I was such a mess that my legs were giving up on me. Luckily my grey eyes Alphaās hands were there to hold me, and damn, the man can hold me all night long. It felt so right, so perfect, so goddamn good that I donāt ever want to leave his side.
āTheyāre safe.ā
āOkay...ā I didnāt know what else to say when suddenly my heat flared and I felt wet between my legs.
Fuck...not good. My heat is coming in strong. But how?
āMy mate.ā His lips went down on mine and I instinctively opened up for him. My Alpha. Maybe it was the heat, but I couldnāt care less. I wanted him, my body wanted him.
And...when I was just about to return his kiss. I felt it. My wolf.
Mate. Mate. Mate.
What the heck is going on?
I was so surprised that I pushed him away, making me fall. I waited for the pain of my back touching the floor, but it never came cause the Betaās arms were there to keep me from falling.
āDonāt. Donāt pull away. Weāve been waiting for you for far too long.ā Once again the Alpha claimed my lips and this time I let go of my fears and kissed him back with all my twenty-one years of suppressed sexuality.
My sheer top was unbuttoned, my bra was peeking from my blouse when the tattooed Alpha hunk with the big body nestled to my side. I was so fucking screwed. I shouldāve lost my virginity a long time ago. Handling two men would be easier with a bit of experience.
āWhat the hell, Reeve! Get the fuck away from our mate. Sheās in heat, sheās not thinking clearly!ā
Reeve my Alpha.
āShit, Tristan, I just...sheās just....ā
Tristan the Beta, my other mate.
āI know, but we have to...ā
āWait, wait...what are you guys talking about? There hasnāt been a mating ceremony in over two decades.ā I knew I was not supposed to be questioning my mates...okay, I was definitely not compatible enough for the conversation. I was too horny to care and I wanted Reeveās lips back on mine. And Tristan too.
āYouāre an Omega, correct? Whatās your last name?ā
āY-yes,ā
Damn it, Kathrine, enough with the stuttering.
āHolloway, Kathrine Holloway.ā
āThe Holloway. Of course. Your family is among the oldest surviving shifters in the country. They had breed Omegas dated back from hundreds of years ago.ā
āWait...wait, not that Iām not proud of my lineages, but youāre talking about my family like weāre cattle. We donāt breed. Humans donāt breed and talk about my kind like weāre a fine pedigree.ā
āOh, but Kathrine, you are one. A beautiful one too.ā Reeve put his hand on my neck, his dopey mischievous smile made my heart race faster just like in the black and white cartoons, it was so ready to break out of my ribs. Reeveās thumb caressed my cheekbone with such affection that I felt like putty in his hold.
But what I didnāt expect was Tristan stepping in front of me and sweetly kissing the tip of my nose. āNow that we have found you, weāre not letting you go. We will go to talk to your parents in the morning. I will have our driver take you and your friends home. Wait, Iām not comfortable letting her go with just a driver,ā his eyes met Reeveās and the man told Tristan that he was going to assign Garth to us.
āDone, come on letās go.ā Reeve was about to escort me out of the room when Tristan stopped him. With the gentlest touch, the man buttoned up my blouse and I mustāve whimpered in delight when the two men growled telling me to stop.
āI canāt, I think Iām just too horny. Maybe youāre right. The heat suppressant isnāt doing anything for my heat.ā
āI donāt think thatās true, baby. I think itās because your wolf recognizes ours and your heat is making you succumb to the need to breed us an heir.ā
āOh...ā My stupid brain just short-circuited and I could feel my insides yearning for my mates. Yep. Greedy little Kathrine wanted not one but two mates for her baby daddies.
āAre you in a relationship with anyone?ā
āNo.ā I blushed as I answered a bit too quickly and too eagerly, without any lady-like finesse. Both men chuckled and Reeve went to kiss my lips again and Tristan gave me the sweetest peck on my forehead.
He mustāve felt my inner self questioning why he didnāt want to kiss my lips when the man replied with the softest peck on the top of my hair. āI wonāt be able to stop myself from claiming just a kiss, Kathrine. Iām not as disciplined as Reeve. Even he too got carried away earlier.ā His thumb caressed my lips and he let out a sexy grunt when I licked his thumb wanting a taste of the man before me.
Reeve chuckled beside him. āYou better stop that little wolf or heās going to lose it and spread you across the table and have his way with you. I know Tristan, and this is not how he wants our first time to be. But donāt worry, Katherine, youāll be ours soon enough.ā
Iāve never felt so drenched in my entire life that I knew I was letting out my scent when the two men groaned and adjusted their groin area.
Wayyy....to take my mind out of the gutter.
āChange of plans. Youāre going out the back. Garth wonāt be escorting you. He will take your friends home.ā It was Tristan who was on the phone seconds later barking orders like he had been doing all his life.
āCome on, weāre taking my car and you will introduce us to your parents. We will talk to our elders tonight and visit you in the morning. Iād like the ceremony to start sooner than later.ā Reeve talked so fast as he escorted me to his black truck. It was so fancy and big, that I almost laughed. My parents would send me packing when they saw the kind men wanted to mate their daughter.
Not that I think my parents were bad, but theyāve been struggling financially. And the mansion we live in barely had heat in it. Dad had to close one wing, making me and my younger sisters stay in one wing where we huddle up in one bedroom to keep ourselves warm.
Another family was living with us, my uncle from my dadās side of the family with their three daughters. Mom had lost her family in the great war over four decades ago. We never speak of her family ever again to steer clear of her depression.
Back then, my uncle ran to my dadās place to save himself after going through the harsh hormonal procedures by the government to suppress the number of growing shifters living within the human territory. With the messed up situation of taking care of his brother and his wife, Dad had never been the same man again. His work had taken less priority and our economy changed drastically. But Dad loved his family and heād do anything to save them all.
Huh...okay, maybe just maybe things would finally work in our favor and my family can once again go back to being wealthy. Ugh...who am I kidding, weād be happy just to be able to provide heat in the other wing so we donāt have to live on top of each other.
My thoughts ended with a buzz on my phone with a text notification from Sage telling me that she and Augie had arrived back at their home safely and they demanded that I call them as soon as I was able to.
āEverything okay?ā Reeve looked at me from the rearview mirror.
āGood...everything is good. Itās just that, my family... weāre not...ugh, Iām just going to say this. Weāre poor as hell, so you donāt get to judge them. I wonāt have my mates looking at my parents like they need a handout. I will choose my family over my mates and you donāt have to bother with the elders.ā I huffed and crossed my arms in front of my boobs like a true little brat.
A chuckle came from the front passenger seat, Tristan. āSheās a little feisty wolf, isnāt she? Weāre going to have so much fun with her.ā
Anddd...there goes my anger as my mind went straight to horny ville.
Damn it!
