My balls instantly draw up at his words and within seconds, my cum is shooting down our omega’s throat, Niko eagerly drinking it in as he hums his enjoyment around my shaft. It’s like we’re all already in sync, like one orgasm triggers the next because I hear each of my mates begin to echo my grunts and moans, the sounds of their climaxes like music to my fucking ears.
I watch Dimitri fill Niko up and feel when our omega comes, his release hitting my shins and ankles as his fingers dig deep into my muscles. My hips jerk forward as I empty myself and I look back over my shoulder in time to see Liv bite Rune, our girl facing him now, the massive alpha’s throat in her mouth as he looms over both her and Leon. The two males fuck her hard and fast despite how swollen their knots must be, cum spilling out of her in thick streams as she screams against Rune’s skin, as Leon drags his blunt nails down her spine as he pistons himself up into her ass until he’s emptied every last drop of his release.
Just as quickly as we all came, we all stop, a brief wave of exhaustion creeping over us that has me dropping all the way to the floor on my ass, catching sight of our girl’s mark on Niko’s hip, the one she must have made after she had his dick in hermouth, as he and Liv dismount and make grabby hands at us until they have the four of us right where they need us to be.
I chuckle as I shake my head and try to catch my breath as I lay on the floor between Liv and Dimitri. “It’s probably a good thing you two went into heat.”
“I mean, it’s unavoidable, we were going to at some point and together seems fitting. Why do you say that?” Liv pants as she tilts her head on my chest and frowns up at me.
“I think it’s the only way to keep track of who’s bitten who without making it weird.”
“Agreed,” Leon says as he rolls on top of Rune and presses a kiss to his shoulder. “A few days of nonstop fucking is a sure fire way to make sure we’re all connected in the most perfect and permanent of ways.” Then he nips at the same place, scraping his teeth over his flesh with a devious grin as the big guy growls. “I’m hoping to see some obscene placement from all of you, my delicious mates, and you better make it fucking hurt.”
I laugh as Leon climbs across Rune and proceeds to make his rounds, kissing each of us before the next cramps hit our omegas.
“Can we go down to the nest?” Liv gasps as she winces in pain. “I know we might not fit but?—”
“We’ll fit,” I say as I hold her tight and sit us up. “We’ll make us fit no matter what.”
“That’s what she said,” Leon says with a grin as he pulls Dimitri and Niko to their feet, his eyes locked on Rune as he stands and it’s in that moment that I realize, I would do anything for these people. Formypeople.
I’d kill and die for the five of them without hesitation.
And while it makes me happier than I’ve ever been, I am fucking terrified.
This much love can easily bring about an equal amount of pain, and that’s not something I ever want to deal with.
CHAPTER 28
RUNE
LONELY DAY - SYSTEM OF A DOWN
Iplop down with a grunt and a frown, sweat dripping from every inch of my body after my run with Rus, and watch Olive lay down in the grass, curl up on her side and wrap her arm around Bee. She lets out a long sigh as she scratches behind the doberman’s ear, speaking softly to her in a way that makes it seem like they’re sharing secrets. It’s sweet how they are together, how affectionate and loving my omega is with them, and how gentle and in tune my dogs are with her. Even with their size and borderline-militant training, they can be such softies for my pack, and the boys are no different from Bee. Cy is laying behind Olive right now, the two back to back while Rus trots over and sniffs her face before he sits by her head, taking up his post so he can keep watch.
Always protecting her. Always guarding everyone in our pack.
I normally love watching Olive interact with my dogs—ourdogs—and even though seeing them like they are now brings a smile to my face, there’s a certain level of emptiness thrumming alongside it.
Maybe not emptiness, that might not be the right word.
Hollow doesn’t feel right, either.
Melancholy seems closer to describing the tightness in my chest, to the overall weight sitting on my shoulders, but I’m struggling to find the right way of explaining it, even if it’s just to myself.
Bee lays her head down and scoots closer to Olive, the two almost nose to nose and when a small, sad smile touches my omega’s lips, what I’m feeling finally clicks.
Loneliness.
I’m not sure if it’s because of my lack of education, or if it's because things like scent matches and relationships are still so new for me, but I thought when you bond with someone, you’re supposed to be happy.
Bonding with five other people should mean I feel like life can’t get any better than this. I should be content and complete. I should feel like I’m finally whole.
There’s a large part of me that does. Most of me, if I’m being honest, but there’s this strange nagging sensation, a gut feeling that’s keeping me from fully settling into our new normal.
I’m on edge, I’m worried, and I feel slightly alone.
Then again, that’s not howI’mfeeling.
