Epilogue
Lila
Three months later
“The Count… Oh my,” I whisper, eyes wide as I stare at the letter, reading it out loud. “ I killed them both, but if you've found this, then I'm already gone… My husband preferred the butler, so I buried them both, ” I gasp, looking up at River, my mouth hanging open. “His wife killed him!”
“Seems a bit excessive,” Wes murmurs, and I turn, glaring at him.
“Excessive?!” I snap.
“Murder? That's a little wild.” Wes shrugs, and my glare deepens.
“If you cheated on me with, I don't know, a maid, I can't say I wouldn't do the same as the Count’s wife,” I growl, making my alpha smirk, as I prop my hand on my hip. I lick my lips, contemplating murder myself, when Wes winks at me.
“Ooooh, someone's the jealous type, huh?” Wes teases, wiggling his eyebrows at me, before pulling me against him. His hands rest on my waist, and he nuzzles into my neck, before marking me with his scent.
“Are you saying you wouldn't do the same?” I tilt my head up, pushing him back so I can look him in the eyes. “And I wouldn’t say I’m the jealous type.
I don’t think any of you would ever hurt me, but I would be willing to stab a bitch if I needed to.
” I lift my chin, waiting for him to dig this hole deeper for himself.
“You would never hurt us, Lila. But if you hypothetically did cheat, then I'd want to know what I did to fail you.” Westley always knows exactly what to say to cut off whatever tantrum I’m about to throw.
“So, no. I wouldn’t murder you, Lila. At worst, I might lock you in a room with me until you love me again. ”
“Westley, that's sad, and sweet…and maybe a little concerning.” I press my palm to his cheek, before pushing my fingers into his hair. “I wouldn’t cheat. I’m not the type.
If our relationship got to that point, we’d break up long before I felt like I wanted someone else.
” I tell him honestly, and then yelp when Harrison smacks my ass.
“We aren’t ever breaking up,” River announces in a way that sounds like he was announcing our dinner plans. Matter of fact, no room for argument. “Ever,” he adds, making me giggle.
“Ever, ever,” Harrison tacks on, and I snort, pulling away from Wes and rolling my eyes at the men and their dramatics.
“I’m glad we all agree.” I nod, placing the wife’s letter back in the box. I rest my hand on top of the box, taking a second to absorb the moment. This room, this place. Everything. How we started. All of it.
“Thanks for bringing me back here,” I say, turning toward the guys. “Oh, what the–”
“Lila Dove,” Harrison says, reaching out to take my trembling hands. He, along with Wes and River, are all on one knee before me.
“Oh my God…” I can’t help the tears that fill my eyes, because even though it hasn’t been a long time, I know these men are my forever.
“We can’t imagine our lives with anyone else,” River says.
“And we want to make our bond official. We’ve wanted to bond with you since day one,” Wes adds.
“But we wanted you to be sure that we’re the alphas for you. So, Lila, if you’ll have us, we’d like to bond you into our pack, for life,” Harrison says, taking a ring box out of his pocket. River takes the box from him and opens it, revealing a beautiful ring.
“Say yes, Lila. We’ll make you the happiest omega alive,” River begs, tears filling my eyes, as Harrison takes out the ring and places it on my left-hand ring finger. “Yes,” I say, nodding my head. “Of course!”
The three of them hug me against them, and I love the way it feels to have them practically crush the air out of my lungs.
“Come on, one last stop, baby,” Wes says, leading me out of the escape room.
“Surprise!” The first person I see as I step into the bar is Wendy. She screams, popping a party bomb, as streamers and confetti fly in the air. She’s wearing a short, emerald green dress that hugs her curves perfectly. She looks stunning. “Congrats, girly!”
I squeal, hugging my best friend tightly for just a second because she’s yanking my hand up, and inspecting my ring.
“Do you have any idea how many hours I spent on the phone with those three trying to get you the perfect ring?” Wendy shakes her head, chuckling. “This was the one. I just knew it.” She grins, taking in the sight of the simple gold band with a princess cut diamond framed by tiny sapphires.
“Let me guess, they wanted to get something the size of a planet,” I chuckle.
“Yes! I told them you wouldn’t want a ring you couldn’t wear every day. And something that costs more than a house is not an everyday ring,” Wendy scoffs.
“Thank you.” I pull her in for another hug, this time squeezing the fuck out of her. When we break apart, she tugs me further inside.
The guys have reserved a section of the bar just for us, and I follow Wendy as she leads me to the VIP area. The guys follow us up, and Harrison pours a drink for Wendy and me.
“Thank you,” I press a kiss to his cheek, before taking a sip. It’s fruity and delicious.
Wendy and I head down to the dance floor, giggling and having the time of our lives. We sway to the music, just enjoying the moment, our arms wrapped around each other.
My eyes are closed, but I can feel the gazes of each of my alphas firmly fixed on me. It makes me smile, knowing they can’t keep their eyes off me.
“Congratulations on your engagement, Lila,” a deep voice behind Wendy says, and my eyes pop open. I squint. Her stepbrother is here? What the fuck for?
“Thanks…” I murmur, looking away from the broody alpha to meet Wendy’s eyes.
“Um?” I know who he is from pictures of him over the years, but I’ve never met him or anyone else in Wendy’s family. I never questioned it because she’s never met anyone from my family either. I know she’s got a good relationship with her mom, but her stepbrother being here is a bit weird.
“It’s a long story, but don’t worry. I have a plan, ” she growls, and I turn my narrowed gaze back to the alpha hovering behind her.
He’s attractive. Ridiculously so. Tall, with white hair and piercing blue eyes.
He’s wearing pressed black slacks and a white button-up that's rolled at the sleeves. Is that a Rolex on his wrist? Sheesh.
I knew her family was well off, but that's actually kind of insane for someone our age. He works for his dad, I think? Wendy and I don’t exactly talk about her stepbrother. Or what her family does to earn their wealth.
“Do we need to ‘ Mary Anne and Wanda’ this guy?” I ask, lifting a brow. Wendy snorts a very adorable chuckle, but shakes her head.
“Trust me, I can handle him and his asshole friends.” Wendy pulls me away from her stepbrother and passes me off to my men, who have joined us on the dance floor, and I melt into Westley’s arms.
“Let's go to the supply closet,” Wes whispers in my ear, and I can’t help but giggle.
“They’ll notice if we disappear from our own party.” But the offer is very tempting.
Every day with these men is a temptation. Happiness, love, joy…
“We want to mark you,” River growls, taking my hand, and pulling me away from everyone, and further into the crowd of bar goers.
“There's a room in the back. No one will notice.” Harrison grins as we make our way to the back. I don’t dare make a sound as I follow River and Harrison into a darkened room, Wes close behind me.
The door clicks shut behind us, and I’m pulled into strong alpha arms.
River. I kiss him back, as Harrison and Wes tug my panties off under my skirt, so River can lift me into his arms. His cock is already free from the confines of his jeans, and in one thrust, he’s inside me.
I gasp, head falling back as he thrusts hard into me.
“Mark her,” Harrison growls, and a second later, teeth are sinking into my neck. I come so hard, screaming out for River, forcing Harrison to cover my mouth with his palm to contain the noises. River grunts as he fills me with his cum, and my body trembles, wanting his knot.
“Mine,” River growls, pulling away from my neck, blood dripping down his chin.
“Yes,” I nod, but he’s pulling free. I whimper, but Harrison is right there, bending me forward and pushing into my slick pussy from behind.
With one hand in my hair and the other on my waist, he fucks me hard and fast. I’m not doing a good job keeping my screams quiet, so Wes steps in front of me and fills my mouth with his cock.
“Can’t have the whole bar hearing the noises our girl makes for us,” Wes growls. The warmth from the mark on my neck spreads, and then I feel him. River. His soul wraps around mine in my mind. The bond snapping into place.
“Fuck…” River grunts, but I speak around the cock thrusting into my throat.
“Come for me, Lila. I need to mark you, baby,” Harrison begs, his fingers finding my clit. He yanks me up, forcing Wes to step back, and with his cock still thrusting into my pussy, I come hard. Harrison comes with a growl, then sinks his teeth into my neck on the opposite side from River.
Our bond is instant, and I feel his pleasure and happiness throughout my entire body.
“Fuck,” I whimper, pushing back, desperate for their knots.
“One more baby, then we can get you out of here, and you can stay locked to my knot all night,” Wes promises.
“Bite me,” I beg, as Harrison pulls free, and Wes catches my shaking body.
“Anything for you, Lila,” Wes vows, lifting me with ease and pressing my back against the wall. “I’m going to fuck you, baby, and then I’m going to complete the bond,” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to my lips.
“Okay,” I nod. Ready for the knots I was promised. Fuck, Westley’s piercings feel cool as he slips inside me, all the slick and cum providing lube.
“I can’t wait to fill you with my cum, and give you my bond, Lila, but tonight when I get you home, we’re taking our time with you,” Wes growls, as he thrusts hard, fucking me so good I see stars.
“Yes,” I breathe, gripping his shoulders for support. I’m so close again… His teeth pierce my shoulder, and the pain is so exquisite that I come hard, crying out once again.
The bond feels like coming home.
Like everything I never realized I was missing, is finally found.
“Take me home, Alphas.”
The end
