It was Rika's fault for not dodging when Damian reached for her neck and rubbed his scent all over it.
Emily had done the same thing before, but having Damian do it so consciously made Rika's breath faster, and she felt nervous.
Her body was also behaving weirdly, almost threatening to give in and collapse as soon as she smelled that lovely scent.
"This is not fair! Let me join the fun, too. I want to mark Rika, too."
Emily complained, and before Rika could point out that she had already done that, she nuzzled her way into Rika's neck before rubbing her scent all over the beta.
She only let go once satisfied with her handiwork and looked pleased.
"Don't get too lonely without us. If nothing major happens, we will return to take you home. Take care of yourself until then."
Emily looked far too happy for it to be expected.
