She tried to play it off and sit down with us on the couch and relax after a shower but it was pointless. Every second sitting there her scent was growing stronger.

My cock was already hard as steel and aching for my omega. The scent of her pheromones were the best kind of temptation. I’d dreamt of this omega for years and she was finally here with me.

Mine. My delta was in full agreement. That familiar clawing sensation of a rut was starting to surface. It was different than the last time. This was triggered by our omega’s heat. The urge to drag her to my den and fuck her senseless wasn’t there. I wanted her in her nest this time.

“Firecracker…” I urged her to look at me but she was too busy squirming in her seat. Her eyes were glazing over now and she didn’t look capable of focusing on anything at the moment. Despite all that, a small part of her seemed to be fighting it still.

My eyes flickered up to Conrad and Lachlan who were also watching her. They looked at me and I could already tell we all knew what was happening.

But we needed her to let go of that last shred of hesitation. Her omega needed to give in completely, to trust us, or this would never be the heat she needed.

That intoxicating scent of her slick swelled in the air, making her brown sugar, cinnamon, and warm spiced scent even sweeter. I could practically taste her in the air, my delta panting for the source.

My knot ached and my skin felt tight. Lachlan looked just as affected. He’d stopped rut blockers after me but an omega in heat will wash that artificial shit from your system faster than a detox. Our bodies knew what they needed.

Her.

“Gorgeous, please. Let us help you,” Lachlan pleaded. She let out a soft moan and let her eyes slip closed, refusing to open them again. I always thought it was Dhara’s anxiety getting in the way. It seems her omega was just as scared. Who could blame her?

“Omega, look at me,” Conrad ordered. It wasn’t a bark. He was too sweet to be the type to bark his omega into submission, but his deep voice had the same effect. Her head snapped upright and her eyes opened. Her pupils were blown wide enough the blue was nearly swallowed whole. “We are your pack. We’ll bond you so you can see what we can’t put into words. That you are our world. That we’ll never let anyone ever hurt you again. You’re ours to protect now and your alpha and deltas won’t let anyone threaten that. Only yours, omega.”

She whimpered again, a single tear tracking down her red cheeks. Then she doubled over and clutched her stomach, panting and groaning against the pain.

“Enough talk, omega. Let us help you,” I demanded on a growl. “You’re mine and you know it, firecracker. Let’s make it official.”

That seemed to get through to her. An intake of breath and her eyes finally finding mine told me she was giving in.

“Help me, August. It hurts,” she said as she scrambled closer. Her skin was blazing hot as she pressed against me, seeping through our clothing.

“About damn time, omega,” I chided before crashing my lips to hers. She moaned against the kiss.

My fingers tangled in her hair, tilting her head so I could claim her mouth like my delta wanted. Her desperate sounds as I kissed her senseless were nearly my undoing. She pulled away to gasp for breath and I nuzzled into my sweet omega’s neck, breathing her in and committing that perfect scent to memory.

The urge to claim her was so intense that I was sucking and licking at her neck before I realized what I was doing. My body was practically vibrating with the urge to dominate her but my protective instincts were too strong to give in. She needed to know she was safe, not to satisfy my needs.

“Take her to the nest,” Conrad said. His voice was rough, just as tempted as I was.

Before I could move she let out a desperate, keening cry that echoed on the walls. A fresh wave of heat hit her, the pain mixing with that desperation as it took over. She tried to take my hand and shove it down to her slick pussy but I knew damn well I could make her feel even better with my mouth.

I stood and scooped her up in my arms. She nuzzled into my neck, sucking hard and then a piercing feeling nearly made me drop her. The others were there in seconds, keeping me upright as shock set in.

“She bit me,” I breathed out. Not just a nip or tease, a full claiming bite. I could already feel the bond starting to spark to life. It wasn’t as strong until I bit her back.

The omega blinked up at me, a hint of red on her plump lips.

“Don’t worry, firecracker. I like it when your fire comes out,” I husked. She seemed satisfied by that answer, humming happily before she was lapping her tongue along the ridged mark she left there.

“Lucky bastard,” Lachlan muttered, making us laugh.

When I made it to the nest, I stood her on her own feet. She looked ready to argue until I pulled her shirt over her head, undressing her fully before laying her out for me. Her legs fell open, hands skimming over her heated skin. Those sexy as sin lips parted on a moan.

Her eyes tracked every movement as I pulled my own clothes off and stretched out over her. I made my way lower, spreading her thighs before taking in my omega.

She was fucking perfect. Red, swollen, and glistening with slick for her delta. Her body was weeping for me, begging for my knot.

“Keep her comfortable. Get in here and distract her,” I told the others before burying my face in her sweet cunt. She tasted sweeter than ever, that distinct scent mixing with her sweet slick, into something that would linger on my tongue for the rest of our lives.

Conrad purred as he pulled off his clothes and joined us, kneeling next to our omega. He leaned in like he was going to kiss her senseless but our little minx had other plans. She grabbed his cock and tugged him forward like it was a leash, before wrapping her lips around him.
