It turns out,my intense emotions from the last weeks triggered another Heat, and my pack anticipated it.

Ace and Connor stay locked inside me for hours while Ben prepares food and does laundry. When they finally slide out of me, it’s Ben’s turn to take me. I don’t stop coming for the three of them.

It’s the best Heat I’ve ever had.

It’s passionate and frenzied, but there’s also the constant reminder that I’m cared for, and that they’re my family. I keep my ring on the whole time.

Whenever I drift off to sleep, I wake up clean, surrounded by fresh blankets and delicious snack plates.

Even though Ben doesn’t have a Rut, he’s still desperate for me any chance he gets during my Heat, just like Ace and Connor.

And every time they take me, they press a kiss to my mating gland on the spot where they bit me.

It feels like an apology, but also a chance to start over.

They make sure my every need is catered to, and before I can even ask for something, it appears.

When I finally start to come out of my Heat, we all shower together, and the three of them take turns cleaning me and making me fall apart on their tongues and fingers.

As repayment, I work the three of their cocks until they paint the shower walls with their cum.

Then, we do it again.

“Holy shit, baby,” Ace says as he dries himself off with a towel, “you’re going to be the death of us.”

“It’s a hell of a way to go.” Ben chuckles.

Now that Connor and Ace are out of their Ruts, they’re back to their normal selves.

Ace is a shameless flirt with a smart mouth, and Connor is his sweet, shy self.

“Did you want to finish the house tour?” Connor asks me. “We, um…got distracted a few days ago.”

A blush colors his face, and it’s delightful.

“Absolutely I do,” I breathe.

Finally, after days of being in a wild, desperate Heat, I can fully take in the new home.

“We’re going to renovate the kitchen more,” Connor adds, as if in apology. “We can get you some more espresso machines, and maybe a third oven?—”

I can’t stop grinning. I already know I’m going to bake masterpieces in here and have my never-ending supply of coffee.

The living room is full of both new video game consoles and retro ones. Ace hunted down the hardest-to-find zombie shooter games, and I’m beyond excited.

There are two extra bedrooms, an office, and a loft where we can host people.

“We can always make it better. We can change anything you want,” Connor insists, and Ace just shakes his head.

“Babe, stop overthinking it. This house is the shit, and she loves it. Right, babe?”

Ben kisses the top of my head as I regard my new home.

The house that has me only down the street from Tammy, and closer to all my chosen family.

“I do,” I say, turning to Ben. “I’m ready to move in.”

“Good,” he says. “I’ve kind of already told the landlord we wouldn’t renew our lease, and Skylar and April’s packs are willing to help us move.”
