Knot Their Darling (Knotting-verse #1)

I stand off to the side, in the small courtyard in the center of what used to be Solus Academy. The sign outside says it still, but it won’t for long. My guys stand near me, crowding around me but giving me enough space that I don’t feel claustrophobic. They aren’t the only ones from Alabaster Security here; once things settled down after my first true heat, the guys and their father worked on expanding Alabaster Security in sectors that have previously gone overlooked.

In short: Daniel Alabaster bought Solus Academy, kicked out the old management, and installed some of his own men and women, people he trusted, ones Darius vouched for.Kellogg Academy will be next.

I’m not the one standing front and center in the courtyard, though. Delilah, the woman who runs the Omega Garden, is. She wears a bright, genuine smile as she greets the omegas watching her with wide, nervous eyes, her hair pulled back in a high bun. She wears a fitted dress that falls down to her knees and heels that were never meant to walk on uneven gravel, but she manages to make it look effortless.

There aren’t many omegas left. A lot were sold off before the Alabaster money went through. There are maybe fifteen or so girls left of varying ages, but I know in time the number will only grow. Warren and Nic spend most of their days searching for the omegas who were sold off, to make sure they aren’t in a bad place. Darius oversees a brand-new branch of Alabaster Security, one meant to provide strictly for omegas in need, even if they themselves can’t pay for it.
