Chapter twenty-nine

VIOLET

My body aches, my mind foggy from the past two days of Sofie’s heat. The room is filled with moans, the air heavy with the scent of sex. I look over and see Sofie on all fours, her body slick with sweat, as Lance thrusts into her from behind. His movements are relentless, his grip on her hips firm as he takes her with a force that stirs both envy and arousal in me.

I let out a soft chuckle, watching Sofie's face twist with pure ecstasy. Her eyes are shut, her lips parted as her cries echo through the room. The muscles in Lance’s back twist and shake as he fucks into her. He’s a wild force, untamed, and Sofie seems to delight in every second of it. Her fingers curl into the sheets as she cries out again, Gray stealing my attention as he moves onto the bed, hovering over me.

He caresses the side of my face as the rest of the room comes into view, Hawk hilariously sprawled out over a chair in the corner. There’s an empty tray beside him, courtesy of Puma no doubt, the Alpha taking care of the five of us. He’s the only reason I have any strength left—between the showers, making sure I eat, and checking in on us to make sure we’re okay, I’m not sure I’ve loved anyone more.

Gray presses a light kiss to my lips and there isn’t even an ask as he slides into me, both of us sighing with the desire coursing through us. He grants me a soft kiss before curling down to suck my tit into his mouth, his other hand brushing over the other one, drawing a strangled moan from my mouth.

“Last time,” Gray murmurs as he pulls back. “Then I’m taking you out of here. You’re exhausted.”

I don’t even have the energy to throw out some retort. I’m bone-tired but being in this room makes it hard to sleep and even harder not to feel like I need to be filled. So, I just hum a response, my throat too hoarse to answer.

As a Beta, I am not built for the relentless pace we’ve set for ourselves over the past two days. And being a female Beta with a female Omega only adds to the challenge. Our bodies are different, and while the pleasure is immense, it takes a toll on me in ways it doesn’t on our Alphas.

Gray fucks into me lovingly, one of his hands cupping the back of my thigh and bringing it up over his hip. My cries mix with Sofie’s, pleasure swarming through me as my orgasm comes quick, Gray already spilling into me seconds later. We never last long, slaves to Sofie’s heat and pheromones, not that I’m complaining. Sofie’s moans follow not long after, Lance pushing his knot into her once again as I silently hope that’s the last one. He maneuvers them onto their side, Sofie mumbling incoherently as Lance kisses down her neck.

I let out a pleasured sigh as Gray pulls out of me, curling up against my back, the both of us watching our Omega as she drifts into sleep.

Wrecked doesn’t even begin to cover it.

My limbs feel like they don’t belong to me anymore, a dull, aching exhaustion settling deep into my bones. My skin is damp, sticky, every inch of me oversensitive and spent, covered in cum, sweat, and all of their scents. Sofie’s scent is finally settling, no longer the suffocating, syrupy drug it was hours ago.

Thank fuck. Any more of it and I might’ve broken apart completely.

A slow shift sends a jolt of soreness through my muscles, every small movement dragging awareness back into my body, making it clear just how much I’ve been wrung out. I try to stretch, just to see if I can, but the sharp protest from my body has me thinking better of it.

Lance, half-asleep beside me, groans, barely lifting his head. His voice is rough, thick with exhaustion, as he mutters, “Get her out of here.”

I don’t have the energy to respond. Gray, completely bare and looking far too satisfied for someone who should be just as exhausted, doesn’t even hesitate. Strong arms scoop me up with ease, as I let myself fall into him.

The second we step outside the bedroom, the shift in temperature is instant. Cool air rushes against my skin, washing away the lingering humidity that clung to the walls. The contrast is enough to make a soft sigh slip from my lips. I love Sofie but god, it might be a while before I’m ready for another one of her heats. Here’s to hoping she’s on those three-month cycles and not the unlucky Omegas who go into heat closer to every month.

Gray moves effortlessly across the hall and into Puma’s room. The moment we reach the bathroom, Puma is already there, leaning against the doorway, watching with a soft smile. Neither of them speak, no words needed as they seem to speak with their eyes. Gray steps inside the massive shower, the warm spray already cascading down, steam curling around us, filling the space. I barely have time to process before Puma reaches for me, steady hands guiding me under the water.

The moment the heat hits my skin, I melt. Tension drains from my body in an instant, the steady stream rinsing away the sweat and the exhaustion. Gray’s hands move over me with a cloth as I lean against his chest, letting him take care of me. Puma is at my back, another cloth running over my raw skin, each of them moving in small, soft, soothing patterns.

My legs tremble, knees going weak beneath me, and before I can even start to fall, Puma is already catching me, already holding me up. Strong arms wrap around me, a quiet reassurance, while Gray’s hands settle on my hips from behind, both of them continuing to clean me without a word. It’s a strange sort of feeling—that I’m cared for and loved and seen without a word being passed between the three of us.
