Cordelia's POV
I walked between them with my head high. The rain had slowed to a light drizzle, but my clothes still stuck to my skin. Five huge alphas surrounded me like a living wall. Their bodies were warm and their scents were everywhere deep, woodsy, and strong enough to make my head feel light.
I could feel their eyes on me. All five of them. Pablo walked on my right, Sergio on my left. Pedro, Nolan, and Luca stayed close behind. Every step they took felt heavy with power.
My heart was beating fast, but I refused to show it. I am Cordelia. I am not some scared little omega who cries and submits the moment big alphas appear. Let them look. Let them want.
"You are very quiet now," Sergio said. His voice was low and rough. He kept glancing at my neck, then lower, at the way my wet dress clung to my breasts.
I gave him a small smile. "Why should I talk? You all look like you want to eat me alive. Is this how you treat every girl you find in the woods?"
Pablo growled softly. "Not every girl. Only our fated mate."
I laughed a little. The sound came out bold and teasing. "Fated mate. You say that like it means I have no choice. I always have a choice."
Nolan, the quiet one with the darkest eyes, spoke from behind me. "Your scent says something different, Cordelia. Your body already knows who it belongs to."
I felt heat rush between my legs when he said that. My nipples got hard against the wet cloth. I hated how right he was. Their smells were making my skin tingle and my core feel empty and wet. But I would never admit it so soon.
We left the trees and reached a big black truck parked on the side of a quiet road. Pedro opened the back door for me. Instead of waiting, I climbed in by myself and sat in the middle of the wide seat. The five of them filled the truck quickly. Pablo drove. Sergio sat beside him. The other three sat in the back with me Pedro on my left, Nolan on my right, and Luca right behind us in the extra row.
The truck started moving. For a few minutes, no one spoke. The air felt thick and hot.
Luca leaned forward. His breath brushed my ear. "How long have you known you were an omega?"
"Since I was fifteen," I answered, looking straight ahead. "But I never waited around for some alpha to find me. I take care of myself."
Pedro put one big hand on my thigh. Not hard, but firm. His fingers were warm through my dress. "That changes tonight. You belong to us now. All five of us."
I turned my head slowly and looked into his eyes. "Belong? That's a big word. I don't belong to anyone until I decide." I moved my leg just a little, pressing it against his hand on purpose. "And even then… you'll have to earn it."
Nolan made a low sound in his throat. His hand slid onto my other thigh. Two big hands holding me now. My breathing got a little faster.
"You smell so sweet," Nolan whispered. "I can already tell your heat is close. When it comes, you're going to need all of us. You're going to need these cocks stretching you open and these knots locking inside you."
My face stayed calm, but inside my stomach flipped with excitement and nerves. I looked at each of them one by one.
"You talk a lot about what I'll need," I said, my voice smooth and a little mocking. "But maybe I'll make all five of you beg first. Wouldn't that be fun?"
Sergio turned in the front seat and stared at me. His eyes were burning. "Careful, omega. That pretty mouth is going to get you in trouble. When we get home, we're going to start teaching you how to behave."
I smiled slowly, showing my teeth a little. "Teach me? Good luck. I bite back."
The truck got quiet again, but the heat between all of us grew stronger. I could see the bulges in their pants. They were all hard. All thinking about the same thing pushing me down and breeding me.
I crossed my arms under my breasts, pushing them up on purpose. Let them look. Let them suffer a little.
Deep down, a small voice in my head whispered that this was dangerous. Five alphas. All fated to me. But the bigger part of me the bold, proud part was excited. I wanted to see how far I could push them before they tried to discipline me.
The truck turned onto a long dark road leading up a hill. Their pack house was waiting somewhere ahead.
I licked my lips slowly.
This was going to be interesting.
