But he’s not mine.
Could he be my second scent match?
Does that make me the luckiest or unluckiest Alpha?
What will Phantom do when he returns and discovers that another Alpha is in his territory and claiming his Omega…and his Beta?
Because if I am honest with myself, I want both.
Joker shrugs. “Phantom would have had to travel into Washington to find someone to patch him up. It’s not like we can go into hospitals or use the usual doctors when we’re shot, you know?”
“Hmm.” I make quick calculations in my head, as I undo the other Rogue’s boots and toss them onto the floor.
Joker is already squirming on the bedding. His heat is coming on faster and harder than any of my heats.
At this rate, not only won’t his Alpha return in time but he’ll be away for the entire length of it.
Joker arches on the bed, whimpering.
“You’re okay,” Bird murmurs, stroking Joker’s hair back from his face. “If you want us, we’ve got you. We’re not going anywhere.”
“You’re crazier than I am,” Joker mutters. “This is your best chance to run. You could do anything to me. Why aren’t you?”
“Because I may be a killer but I’m not that type of Alpha,” I reply, firmly.
Joker cracks open his eye and scrutinizes me; it’s unsettling. “I’m beginning to understand that.”
I glance at Bird, who is still stroking Joker. “You do know that you’re petting a deadly Omega.”
“More deadly than Switch?” Bird asks.
I snort. “No fucking chance.”
“Then it seems danger is my kink.”
“Funny.” Joker perks up. “Mine too.”
I stare at them. “I have two unhinged Omegas in my bed.”
The two Omegas exchange a proud glance like I’ve praised them.
“Keep dirty talking,” Joker rasps. “Luckily, I also have a degradation kink.”
Bird chuckles, but I think that Joker is being serious.
“Good, because praise kink for someone like you isn’t my style,” I deadpan.
“I would never have guessed,” Joker replies.
“Hey, be nice.” Bird nuzzles against Joker, who licks up his neck.
I stare at them in surprise.
How have these two Omegas become allies?
Bird told me that he loves being with Omegas, growing up in a household with a large number and then again, in the hotel. He adored meeting me when I was Switch.
Is this what has been missing from our pack?
