“Are you going to let me dominate you?” I ask Beau, clutching Theoden’s shirt, not letting him move.
“Why would I? You can pretend to be a good little omega, can’t you?” Beau steps closer, his eyes roving over my body in my state of undress.
I don’t even try to turn away or otherwise cover myself up, meeting his challenge readily.
Theoden straightens his shoulders before bending down and grabbing my towel, wrapping it around me. “Don’t speak to her like that. She obviously won’t ever submit to you. She’s not—”
A familiar yell rings to the air, cutting Theoden off as he dares challenge an alpha. I whip my attention to the closed doors of our rooms only to see Gabe yank mine open and step out.
“The bunnies—” Gabe snaps his mouth shut as he catches sight of Theoden standing beside me. His mouth opens and closes, and concern widens his eyes. He doesn’t even have to finish his sentence for me to know that something is wrong.
“What the fuck happened, Gabe? You were right there with them.” I curl my fingers into fists, not even caring that the one man who could fail us all stands beside me.
“Slept right through whatever happened. I guess I was really worn out from everything.” Gabe turns and points at Beau. “Where were you, asshole? You were gone when Amber went to take a shower.” Gabe scrubs his hands across his cheeks. “Is this one of your lame-ass jokes? You didn’t come in and take them? Trying to fuck with us? I know you, Beau. If you did something to prank me and Amber, you need to fucking knock it off right now.”
Beau growls and smacks the wall, startling me. “I wouldn’t fuck with you like that. I just went back to our room to jerk one out. I didn’t want to bother you guys while you were sleeping. Sometimes a man just has to blow a fucking load.”
My head spins as they argue. Theoden stands beside me in silence, and I turn and meet his gaze. “What happens if someone took them? You’re not going to really fail us, are you?” I hate to put him in this position, but he just admitted how much he wanted me. He wouldn’t fail me now, would he?
Theoden rubs his lips together. “I don’t have that sort of control. I just administer the assignment. If the bunnies aren’t returned…”
I squeeze my eyes shut and growl, my anger getting the best of me. “Then we need to fucking find them. It had to be one of the other bastards on our floor.”
My heart races, and my stomach flips, the idea that my final option besides jail might have just been taken away for me. This was my one chance to have a clean slate, and some asshole could’ve just destroyed it. Fuck. I may not be innocent, but those little fuzzy prey animals sure are. Turns out there are alphas, then there are monsters…
“We’ll split up,” the professor insists, speaking rapidly to keep our focus. “I’ll help you. It’s not uncommon for students to mess with each other, but we haven’t had any incidents in the last five years I’ve been teaching here. You alphas tend to be big softies when it comes to the bunnies, which is why we chose them to begin with.”
Theoden adjusts his pants and turns toward Beau and Gabe. “You guys take that end of the dorm. I’ll help Amber with the other rooms. No one will mess with her while I’m around.” He’s right about that. He might be an omega among alphas, but no one’s going to mess with a man that can ensure they fail out of Drakewood. He can’t save us, but he can ruin others. I wonder if this is true of all omegas or it’s just the unique situation we find ourselves in now.
Gabe tightens his jaw, his eyes darkening with his concern. “We’re going to find them. We didn’t get this far only to get fucking kicked out.”
I release a deep breath. “I’m going to destroy whoever took them.”
Beau narrows his eyes. “And I will hold them down while you do it. No one fucking messes with us and lives to tell the tale.”
“Wait,” Theoden calls, stopping me after the guys and I are already halfway down the hall. I half-expect him to reprimand us, to say we can’t openly threaten other students. But he doesn’t do that at all. Instead he runs into my room, then returns a second later and tosses me the uniform I had pressed and waiting on my bed for after the shower. “Whoever did this doesn’t deserve a free show,” he says almost possessively.
Beau and Gabe bristle at my sides but offer no argument as I stride forward to accept the waiting bundle. As I take my clothes from him, I reach down and stroke Theoden’s cock beneath his jeans.
Already hard again for me.
What a good omega.

AMBER
Isee a lot of unwanted dick in the next hour, so much so that I’ll never be able to look at any of my classmates the same again. Some of them, I discover, act like such big asses because they’re severely lacking in the cock department. Others, though, they surprise the hell out of me with their impressive and intimidating girth. If they manage to graduate the Drakewood program and land an omega… well, she’s going to have to do some special stretches or something. Damn. I need to get thoughts of dicks out of my head.
But it’s hard considering that Theoden still smells like our desire. It’s giving me a constant lady boner that I’m not sure will ever disappear unless I get to fuck him how I want.
If the missing rabbits aren’t in Troy Davis’s dorm room, then I’m going to have to drag Theoden back to my dorm and claim him fully and completely. Because leaving things unfinished is driving me fucking nuts. My emotions are out of control, and I can’t stop my body from constantly demanding attention. Squeezing my legs together makes it worse, but ignoring it is impossible.
Damn it, Amber. That poor nameless critter is counting on you, and all you can think about is saddling up the professor who first entrusted it to you?
“If we can’t find them here, I’ll have Lacey put the dorms on lockdown until we do. We can claim it’s a different threat and not me assisting you in passing.” Theoden grasps my shoulder before turning around and heading to the opposite door. “We’ll find them, Amber. I promise.”
I exhale a long breath and turn the knob on Troy’s door, not looking behind me as Theoden enters the other room. The potent, undeniable fragrance of lemongrass and gun smoke assaults my nose before I have a chance to comprehend what’s happening. A rough hand locks around my wrist and a familiar man yanks me forward. The door slams behind me, trapping me in the unfamiliar room.
