Knot Their Darling (Knotting-verse #1)

While the others helped Pax and his team clear the house, I follow my gut to the basement. Darius had Jay in a chokehold the moment he saw him, and no amount of über alpha bullshit on Jay’s part could make it stop. No one tells Darius Alabaster what to do; Jay will learn that very soon.

My heart is in my chest when I throw open the basement door, and when I step into the stairwell that heads down, it’s like I walk into a wall. Yes, a literal wall. The air is so thick with slick, so pungent with the desires of an omega, that it goes right to my dick and hardens it just like that.

But what’s more, it isn’t any omega’s arousal, not some random girl off the street. No, that sweet, strawberry scent can only belong to one omega in particular: ours.

So I race down the stairs, coming into a mostly-empty, wide-open basement, where my girl is chained to the ground, a thick manacle around her ankle. She’s huddled into the corner of the room, but when I make it about ten feet away from her, she tosses a glance over her shoulder, and I see she’s hazy-eyed.
