Consider The Lilies (Broken Omegas #5)

Yuki

Even as the words leave my mouth, I can’t believe them. And apparently neither can Stefan. His mouth hangs open, shock stealing his ability to speak.

But seeing him laid out with his legs wrapped around Bear’s waist and a knot lodged deep in his ass has me struggling to concentrate. Stefan’s body is amazing. The soft outline of a few abs line the sides of his cum-soaked stomach and his legs are long and well-defined. He’s such a sexy man.

“Are you shitting me?” Bear asks. The anger etched between his eyes falls away as he looks up at me. “Are you really pregnant?”

“It’s true,” Jack says as he settles right behind Lucy. He wraps his arms around the naked beta, palming her soft tits. “She’s about two months along.” He smiles at me like I’ve done something amazing. But I haven’t. It was just dumb luck.

“We got to hear the baby’s heartbeat.” Lucy lets out a happy sigh. Her blue eyes sparkle when they meet mine, and her smile grows.

I hate how happy everyone is. Especially since Stefan has yet to say a word.

“Stefan?” I look at my shocked omega. Desperate to know what he’s thinking.

“I…I…” Stefan stutters, his bright green eyes still locked on my face. But he doesn’t say anything else.

Silence drags out between us and my fear begins to spiral.

About a year ago, Stefan had told me how bad he felt that he couldn’t give us a baby. I, of course, told him that I couldn’t care less about having a baby. But the truth was that I knew exactly how he felt.

As a female alpha, I have the same struggles with fertility that he does. The fact is, she-alphas rarely conceive just like male omegas. He said it was nice having someone that he could share that struggle with, but now I’m pregnant and all I can think about is how devastated Stefan must be that he isn’t the one carrying our young.

Bear lets out a joyous laugh, pulling me from my thoughts. “This is amazing!”

“Careful,” Stefan winces, then he lets out a sigh of relief as Bear’s knot deflates. The alpha’s long, hard cock slides from Stefan’s body, followed by a stream of pretty white fluid. The smell of sex hits the air and my clit begins to pulse.

Fuck, I’m horny.

Unable to stop myself, I sit down next to Stefan, happy when he scoots a little closer. “Tell me what you’re thinking,” I say, bracing myself for the worst. I just hope he doesn’t hate me too much. “Please, Stefan.”

“I…” He shakes his head for a second, then a slow smile fills his face. “I’m so happy.” His voice cracks and tears gather in his green eyes.

“Really?” I search our bond, unable to find anything other than genuine happiness. No jealousy. No anger. Just pure joy.

“We’re having a baby!” Stefan flings his arms around my neck, holding me tight. I instantly pull him to me, wrapping my legs around his hips. The cum on his stomach squishes between us, making me shiver with excitement.

Calm down, I silently command myself. But it’s no use. Having my omega near pulls the tension from my shoulders and eases the knot in my chest, allowing me to concentrate fully on my growing lust.

“This is unreal,” Bear’s voice is soft with awe. “I can’t believe you’re pregnant.” I can hear the smile in his voice.

I’m relieved to know that he and my other packmates are happy, but right now all I can think about is my omega’s sweet floral scent. I drop my head into his neck, inhaling deeply. Deep fear has consumed me since the second the doctor told me why I was throwing up, and right now, it feels like I can finally breathe.

“You don’t hate me?” I whisper against my mating bite. I kiss it once, making him shiver.

“Hate you?” Stefan leans back so he can see my face. “Why on earth would I hate you?” He looks genuinely offended by my question.

“I told you,” Lucy says with far too much sass. “Stefan could never hate you.” She looks so smug wrapped up in Jack’s arms. The pack alpha seems oblivious to the conversation going on around us as he kisses her neck and shoulder, nipping at her flesh.

She and Jack spent the whole car ride home assuring me that Stefan would be overjoyed, but I just didn’t believe them. It also doesn’t help that I’m terrified that I’ll be a horrible mom, but Lucy also pointed out that there were five people in this pack who were going to raise this baby, and the burden of being a parent doesn’t sit solely on my shoulders. I know she’s right. My sweet beta always is, but the fearful voice in the back of my head is sometimes louder than she is.

“You once told me that you felt bad for not being able to give us a baby,” I say to the omega. I feel bad for reminding him of that sad conversation, but I can’t keep this in. It’ll eat me alive if I do.

“Yuki,” Stefan says my name like I’m being silly. “I feel bad that my body doesn't work the way it’s supposed to. I’m an omega. My kind are supposed to have babies.” I open my mouth to protest, but he quickly speaks up, not giving me the chance. “But now my gorgeous she-alpha is having our baby.” He presses his palm to my still-flat belly. The simple touch makes heat bloom between my thighs and I hold him a little tighter.

“And now,” Stefan presses his forehead to mine, “I get to love and cuddle and adore this baby because that’s also my job.” His face brightens like it’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to him.

Bear snorts loudly. “With Yuki’s genes, this kid is going to be a terror. There will be less cuddling and more sparring.” The alpha smiles like he can’t wait.

“Not necessarily,” Jack says. “The babe might take after our sweet omega.”

“Me?” Stefan snorts as I press my nose to his temple. His scent is so sweet and addicting. It takes everything in me not to lick the side of his face.“There are two alpha males in this pack,” he says. “It’s more likely that you’re?—”

“Nope,” I whisper in his ear, excited to share this part of our news with him. “Lucy realized the timeline in the car,” I say. “Jack and Bear haven’t come inside me in months.” I stare deep into Stefan's eyes, waiting for him to realize what that means.

Stefan’s hands fall from my body. The poor boy looks floored—eyes wide, mouth open, and arms hanging limp at his sides.

Finally, he looks up at me and gives me the sweetest, most brilliant smile. “Holy shit.”
