Chapter forty

Bailey

I stare at the sleeping omega. It has been five days.

She hasn’t been herself, she’s ranging from exhaustion to heat-driven omega with a voracious and vicious sex drive to an emotionally distraught woman who is struggling to be present.

There was even a moment where she heard a noise and bounced out of the bed to the nest door with a huge knife in her hand, ready to kill whoever was on the other side.

We had to escort her around the house and ensure that it was all safe before she would relax and allow me to fuck her back into a sleep.

Edric, Mael, and Kingston are exhausted. I wonder if they looked like that during my heat.

She’s curled up on the bed moaning, and I have a feeling this might be the last time. She’s been steadily showing fewer signs of needing to be knotted, but there’s something I want to try.

I need it.

I wonder if she might, too.

With a quick look at the pack, I return to our omega, throwing her legs over my shoulders and pulling her to the edge of the bed. I dive in, licking at that potent and delicious slick.

She moans and starts fucking my face in her sleep. I love it. I love that this room is covered in us. It will be soaked into this space for years.

I reach out and grab Mael, shaking him awake. He sits up and wakes up Kingston and Edric.

I pull away from her pussy .

“One last hurrah,” I say with a grin.

Edric crawls over and kisses me hard, moaning. “You taste so good right now, Bailey.”

“I want to knot her,” I say intently. “But I want someone fucking her ass and her face, and I want someone else taking me, too.”

Mael studies me.

“Are you sure about this?”

“Yes!” Selene sits up, shuddering hard. She’s covered in bite marks, but, I swear, her skin is glowing.

She wriggles up the bed and gets up on her knees. Her eyes are a bit unfocused, and her cheeks are red.

Mael took a couple of minutes this morning to brush her hair. Listening to her moan had us all hard, but she ate and drank and allowed him to clean her up.

The heat in the air is fading.

Kingston lays flat and grips his cock. “Come sit on me, crazy girl.”

She climbs up and straddles him, facing away. I expect her to hesitate, but she sinks down on his cock, letting out a sigh of relief.

I crawl up over her.

“You are the most incredible omega I have ever met.”

She cups my cheeks and kisses me hard.

I feed my cock into her pussy. Mael comes up behind me. I don’t need preparation, I’ve already handled it. He notices and lets out a delicious growl. He slides in.

I look at Edric, but he’s already buried deep in her throat.

The connection, that circular connection of having us all together like this, settles a growing unease that has been pressing against my chest.

“This is real. It’s not going anywhere. It’s ours.”

Mael pulls my head back and bites my neck over his bond. “Yes, it’s real. It’s very fucking real.”

I close my eyes, but, when I open them, I’m met but the pure blue crystal orbs of my omega.

Her cheeks hollow as she works Edric’s cock.

No one has moved but her. Not an inch. They’re waiting. For me.

My scent changes, becoming a mix of the omega scent and the alpha scent.

Slick runs out of my ass, and I let out a deep moan, but then I feel my knot grow, too.

“Oh, shit.”

Selene cries out and grinds against me. I lose my mind, rutting into her, trying to get distance to thrust into her.

“Move!” Edric orders .

Mael snaps his hips into mine, driving me into her. His fingers grip my shoulder and pull my chest back as he pounds my ass, forcing me in and out of Selene. Not that I can move. I’ve knotted her before I even had a chance to thrust.

I’m on the edge, and every movement is sending ripples of pure pleasure lashing through me. Mael and Kingston hammer us, keeping us all moving, and Edric surprises me by pulling his cock out and spraying cum all over me and Selene.

I let out a desperate whine.

“Knot me.”

“What?” Mael asks, pausing.

“Knot me!”

“And me!” Selene growls.

Our alphas look at each other, and then, with one brutal thrust, they shove into us. I drop forward, sucking Edric’s cock into my mouth.

The bonds explode.

We all explode.

All I can do is hold on, riding the waves of pleasure.

This is my pack.

I peel my eyes open, listening to the thrum in the room and wondering what it’s from. Selene is crying. I crawl up so I’m laying with my head pressed to her thighs.

I open my mouth, and that thrum comes out of me, too.

We’re purring.

Our omega is distraught, and the answer from the pack is deep purrs that wrap us all in a wall of sound. Providing the only comfort that can reach the soul deep pain that she’s carrying.

I hold onto her, stroking her leg.

I would do anything for her, for this pack. I love them.

I tell them in every single note of my purr.

And I hear back from three alphas and the searching fingers of my omega, who reaches out and grips my fingers.

“Rest,” Mael says. “Just for today, rest. We can deal with everything tomorrow.”

We climb out of the nest the next morning. In the light of day, we’re all exhausted, and none of us want to come back to reality, but the phones wouldn’t stop ringing.

My family is demanding answers in person.

There are things that need to be organised and set up.

Luna.

Dot.

The club.

I look back at Mael’s house. It feels like home now.

“What if we moved into this house?”

Mael looks sharply at me. “You’d want to?”

Yeah, I deserve that. We haven’t talked about what happened or will happen. Their lies and working with my dad.

“Well, I mean, it’s the perfect place for us.” I pause and reach out, gripping Edric’s hand. “Fuck it. I love you guys. You’re going to be making it up to me forever, but I forgive you.”

Edric cups my face and kisses me so gently that he makes my heart flip.

Selene is across the road, hugging Shade to her chest. She looks at us and smiles.

“A surprise?”

I dip my head in agreement. “Yes. I think we should keep it as a surprise for her.”

Edric and Kingston approach and look up at the house.

“She built her nest where we would find her.”

“She was always ours,” Mael says.

Kingston threads his fingers through mine.

“She is ours,” I agree. “I want my nest there, too.”

The three alphas go still, feeling the declaration I make. I’m setting down roots. Here with them. I’m claiming them and letting everyone know that I belong here.

“I want a home. I grew up in club rooms, my sister grew up in a mansion, but the happiest people I know live in houses. Like this. Ones with memory and things we can build together.”

“I think, Omega, that sounds like a dream come true.”

“Hey, guys, come on, we have work to do.” Selene smiles and lifts Shade’s paw up in the air, waving it.

I smile. “Come on, guys, our omega says we need to work.”

Yes, now everything feels right.

The restlessness that was chasing me is gone. The self loathing, the questions. Everything is quiet .

I think I’ve learned peace from an omega who behaves like an alpha and a neighbourhood that doesn’t know when to quit.
