I can tell that even the Alphas in the crowd are struggling not to fall to their knees.

No one dares to step forward to stop us.

Pride rises in my chest that this is my Alpha.

Lincoln slinks from beside a cheese stall. I see a flash of furry white and realize that he’s left Sugar to eat the wares. Lincoln’s dragging Ghost beside him.

They slip next to me in our strange procession through the town folk.

My cheeks prickle with warmth.

I’m used to being in the shadows, unseen. So is Ghost.

This must be hard for him.

We’re both stepping into the light here, in the most controversial way possible.

I hope that this works.

“I can’t leave you alone for a minute.” Lincoln nudges me with his shoulder.

“Shut up,” I mutter. “You knew about this.”

He doesn’t deny it. “Are you okay, fated?”

“Tom isn’t.”

Lincoln stiffens. “But you should see the other guy, right? Still, it was agonizing to feel…all that…through the bond and not be able to come and protect you both. But I made a promise to—”

“Tom, I know.”

“Not Tom.”

Confused, I glance at Lincoln.

Then Ghost growls and quirks his brow.

“This whole thing…take down…plot…was orchestrated on the order of an Omega,” Lincoln explains. My eyes are wide with wonder. If Dad knew that he hadn’t only been outwitted by an Alpha who he respected like Thomas but also by a Reject Omega like Ghost, then it’d blow his Traditional Alpha mind. I never knew that an Omega could have this power. “You’re a dangerous, dangerous Omega.”

Ghost smirks, chirping in delight like it’s the best compliment that he’s ever heard.

He winds his arm around my waist.

“If you love,” Lincoln rumbles, his gaze piercing, “then you should love dangerously.”

Fuck, I adore these men.

Vito glances between them in amazement. “Wow, Dy, you’ve found the most badass male Omega and claimed him for yourself. Greedy. To think that I worried about Lincoln and you finding a pack who could look after you together.”

Ghost reaches out, pressing his palm against Vito’s chest over his heart.

Vito’s gaze softens. “I believe that you’ll forever love her, and Dy’s the most loyal person in the world. You deserve each other.”

Ghost taps Vito’s chest: You too.

Vito ducks his head. “I’m too busy being a baker and saving the fucking world. Oh yeah, I’m badass too. Look at me now, taking on both Snakes and Saints in front of the whole of Haven.”

Yet Vito’s loneliness radiates from him.
