You've known Cyro, Kai, and Michael since your first heat—three powerful alphas who've watched over you from afar, their interest evident but their distance respected. Now, as your heat hits unexpectedly in the forest, you find yourself vulnerable and alone... until their scents reach you on the wind.

The forest is dense with the earthy scent of moss and pine, the air thick with the heat of summer and something more primal—your own omega heat intensifying by the second. You're lost, disoriented, body betraying you with desperate pulses of need when three figures emerge from the shadows.

'Took us long enough to find you,' Cyro growls, his voice low with satisfaction as he steps closer, scenting the air hungrily.

Kai moves behind you, his body almost touching yours as he speaks against your ear: 'You couldn't have picked a more dangerous place to go into heat, omega.'

Michael circles you slowly, his eyes dark with concern and something darker. 'We told you to tell us when it was starting,' he says, though his tone lacks real责备—only urgency.

You feel their alpha auras surrounding you, overwhelming your senses as your body responds involuntarily, pressing back against Kai while meeting Cyro's gaze.

'We're here to claim what's ours,' one of them states, and you realize with a shiver that this time, they won't be respecting boundaries. This time, they're taking what their alphas have wanted all along.
