Chapter 26 The Omega: Mated To The Four Chapter Twenty Six By the tI got hthat evening, the sky had turned gtay, and a steady drizzle had started to fall. I locked the door, closed the windows, and settled into bed, hoping for a peaceful night.
But, of course, peace wasn't in the cards for me.
As I lay there, listening to the rain, I couldn't shake the feeling that was being watched. I tried to ignore it, pulling the covers up to my chin and closing my eyes. But when the feeling didn't go away, I finally got up and peeked out the window.
Sure enough, there they were-Elijah, Isaiah, Alex, and Austin-in their wolf forms, huddled together just outside the cabin. Their fur was soaked, and they looked utterly miserable, but they didn't seem to care.
"Idiots," I muttered, shaking my head.
For a moment, I considered leaving them out there to teach them a lesson. But as the rain picked up, my resolve wavered.

"Get in here before I change my mind!" I called out.
They perked up immediately, their ears twitching as they scrambled to their feet. One by one, they bounded through the window, shaking off water and making a mess of the floor.
"Stop that!" I snapped, glaring at them. "You're getting everything wet!" They froze, their heads hanging like scolded puppies.
I sighed again, grabbing a stack of old towels from the closet.
I started with Alex, rubbing his fur gently with the towel. It was softer than I expected, warm and thick despite the rain. Sparks danced across my skin with every touch, and I had to fight the urge to pull away.
"Don't look so smug," I muttered, glaring at him as he wagged his tail.
Next was Austin, who leaned into my touch so much that I had to shove him back. "Stop that," I said, rolling my eyes.
Elijah was third, his black fur gleaming even in the dim light of the room. He didn't move much as I worked, but his piercing gaze never left my face.
"Don't make this weird," I warned, throwing the towel over his head.
Finally, there was Isaiah. His fur was darker than the others, and he rumbled softly in appreciation as I dried him off.
"This doesn't mean I like you," I said, narrowing my eyes.
Once they were dry, I grabbed an old mattress from the closet and laid it out on the floor.
"You're staying in wolf form," I told them firmly, pointing a finger at each of them. "No shifting back. I don't want to deal with.... you know." They'd obviously be naked when they shifted even though I was curious if was too embarrassing.

"No arguments," I said, crossing my arms.
I grabbed a few blankets and threw them over the can makeshift bed. The four of them settled in quickly, curling up together like a pack of oversized puppies.
For a moment, I just stood there, watching them.
Despite everything they looke@so peaceful, so... content.
"Goodnight," I muttered, turning off the light and climbing back into bed.
As I lay there, listening to their soft breathing, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of comfort. Maybe, just maybe, I was starting to see them in a different light.
But that didn't mean I was ready to forgive them. Not yet.
