“I'll make sure he gives us everything,” Kev says.
Espie lifts her head from my shoulder. “Start with his dick,” she says pleasantly. “His fingers are all used up.”
Aubrey says, “Then take his balls if he still doesn't talk.”
Levi stares at them for a beat. The tight line of his mouth loosens by one degree.
Kev nuzzles Aubrey's temple. “Then that's what'll happen.”
I have no doubt that's exactly what will happen before Wallace meets his maker.
Espie reaches out and puts her hand in Levi's. “We'll find her,” she says.
Levi dips his chin, and when he raises his eyes again the flat devastation has pulled back enough that the operative is visible underneath it. He shifts his gaze to me.
“Get your omegas back to their nest,” he says. “That's an order. They need you.” He glances at the three male alphas behind me, then back. “All of you.”
He reaches out and claps me on my bruised shoulder. My breath punches out through my teeth. The nerve block doesn't cover the shoulder; that one lands full. Kev, Lex, and Ezra growl at the same pitch. Levi steps back with both hands raised.
“Gods,” he says. “Sorry. That's — I didn't think. Sorry.”
“I'm good, Levi. Go find your omega,” I say.
He nods at me, then leaves.
Aubrey makes a sound that pulls my whole body toward him. It's low and broken and wordless. I catch him as he sways.
His scent is warm and thick and getting sweeter by the second. I cup his face. His forehead drops to my throat. He's hot. Burning up.
“Alpha.” His voice is worn smooth at the edges. “Please.”
Oh, hell. He's going into heat.
My clit swells, my thighs press together, slick gathers before I've had a single coherent thought. I feel so empty. All I want is my omega inside me until neither of us can think straight.
Kev curses under his breath. He puts a hand on Aubrey's forehead. “Hey. Love, you're going into heat.”
Aubrey groans, an obscene wet spot gathering on the front of his pants. “Please. Need.”
“We'll get you there, omega.” Kev lifts Aubrey against his chest. Aubrey curls against Kev, jamming his nose against Kev's scent gland on his neck.
“Come on. We need to get him home,” Kev says.
Ezra lifts Espie and we jog out of the parking lot. I follow Kev to the car parked in deep shadows three warehouses down. My legs are carrying me and I'm not entirely sure how. The nerve block ends at my wrist and everything above it is screaming and I don't care, I don't care at all, because their scents are thickening with every step and by the time Kev hits the locks the throbbing in my slit drives through my whole body. The males are barely hanging on.
I jump inside as Kev hands Aubrey to me. Espie follows and Ezra bookends Espie. Lex slams the door shut and rides shotgun as Kev jumps behind the wheel.
I catch Kev's gaze in the rearview mirror. His pupils are blown so wide there is almost no color left around them as the engine roars to life.
“Drive fast. Don't worry about the fines,” Lex says.
The tires skid as he pulls out.
Espie whines. She grabs the front of Aubrey's jacket and pulls him to her and they kiss hard, her hand sliding up into his hair, his hands going to her hips. Heat pulses through me at the sound she makes against his mouth. Ezra swears under his breath.
“This is not going to be a short drive,” Lex says from the front.
“Shut up and let Kev drive,” I say. My voice comes out steadier than I deserve credit for.
