Page 77 of Marked by Alphas 2: Claimed (The Blood Moon Chronicle #2)

The admission cost him nothing. As alpha, Marcus had spent his life shouldering responsibility, making the hard decisions, leading with unwavering authority. But with Kai—with his mate—he could express his desire fully, could show the depth of his need.

His tongue circled Kai’s entrance with devastating precision, alternating between teasing flicks and firm pressure that had Kai writhing beneath him. One hand reached around to stroke Kai’s cock, creating a dual stimulation that had his mate gasping with pleasure.

“Fuck, Kai,” he growled against sensitive skin, the vibration making Kai jerk beneath him. “You have no idea what you do to us.”

Kai’s hands fisted in the sheets, his body trembling as Marcus continued his sensual assault. Through their bond, Marcus could feel Kai’s pleasure building, creating a feedback loop that pushed them both higher.

“Marcus,” Kai pleaded, his voice barely recognizable. “Please— I need?—”

“Tell me what you need,” Marcus demanded, pulling back just enough to slide two fingers inside Kai, curling them to find that perfect spot. “Tell me, little mate.”

“You,” Kai gasped, his hips pushing back against Marcus’ hand. “Inside me. Please.”

The plea ignited something primal in Marcus. His wolf surged forward, howling its approval as he positioned himself behind Kai. With one smooth thrust, he buried himself to the hilt, the tight heat of his mate’s body nearly overwhelming him.

“Is this what you want?” Marcus snarled, his canines lengthening as he partially shifted. “To be filled by me? To be claimed?”

“Yes,” Kai gasped, his face turned to the side as Marcus had commanded, allowing the alpha to see every expression of pleasure that crossed his features. “God, yes.”

Marcus established a rhythm that was just shy of brutal, each thrust driving Kai farther up the bed.

His hands gripped Kai’s hips with bruising force, pulling him back to meet each powerful movement.

Through their bond, he could feel Kai’s pleasure building, mirroring his own, creating a feedback loop that pushed them both higher.

The sensation was overwhelming—being buried deep inside his mate, their connection flowing between them, the wolf howling its triumph at claiming what was his.

Marcus’ control slipped further with each thrust, his eyes blazing crimson, teeth sharp and dangerous as he leaned down to nip at Kai’s shoulder.

When release approached, Marcus reached around to stroke Kai in time with his thrusts, determined to bring his mate to completion first. “Come for me,” he commanded, his voice a guttural growl against Kai’s ear. “Let me taste your power.”

Kai came with a cry that echoed through the chamber, his body clenching around Marcus in waves that triggered the alpha’s own release. As they pulsed together, the glow surrounding them intensified, bathing the room in supernatural light.

Marcus thrust through their shared climax, filling Kai with his release as he marked him from the inside.

As soon as he could move, he carefully pulled out and flipped Kai onto his back, descending immediately to take his mate’s still-pulsing cock into his mouth.

The moment Kai’s essence touched his mouth, a surge of power rushed through Marcus—like liquid fire in his veins, strengthening his wolf, enhancing his alpha power.

“Fuck,” Marcus growled, looking up at Kai with eyes that glowed crimson so bright they illuminated his mate’s shocked face. “No wonder the Crimson Serpents hunt dragons. Your essence is pure power.”

Kai barely had time to recover before Caleb and Derek approached him again, their eyes hungry, their bodies already hard with renewed desire.

“My turn,” Caleb announced, dropping to his knees before Kai. “I need another taste.”

Derek positioned himself behind Kai, pulling his mate’s back against his chest. “And I need to be inside you again,” he growled, his cock already pressing against Kai’s entrance.

“You can’t be serious,” Kai protested weakly, though his body was already responding, his supernatural stamina matching theirs. “I just—ah!”

His words cut off as Derek thrust into him in one smooth movement, filling him completely. At the same time, Caleb’s mouth descended on his cock, taking him to the root in a single swallow that had Kai seeing stars.

“Fuck,” Kai gasped, his hands flying to Caleb’s hair, not sure if he wanted to pull him closer or push him away from the overwhelming sensation.

“That’s the idea,” Derek rumbled against his ear, setting a rhythm that drove Kai deeper into Caleb’s eager mouth with each thrust.

The dual stimulation was overwhelming—Derek’s thick length hitting that perfect spot inside him while Caleb’s talented tongue worked the underside of his cock. Through their bond, Kai could feel their hunger for him, their addiction to his taste, their need to claim him again and again.

“You’re ours,” Derek growled, his teeth grazing Kai’s shoulder. “Every. Fucking. Inch.” Each word was punctuated with a thrust that drove Kai deeper into Caleb’s throat.

Caleb hummed in agreement, the vibration sending shocks of pleasure up Kai’s spine. His eyes—electric blue and glowing with s upernatural light—never left Kai’s face, watching every expression of pleasure that crossed his features.

When Kai came, it was with a shout that echoed through the chamber, his release spilling down Caleb’s throat as Derek continued to pound into him from behind. Caleb swallowed every drop, his eyes fluttering closed in ecstasy as the power of Kai’s essence flowed through him.

“So fucking sweet,” Caleb gasped when he finally pulled back, his lips swollen and wet. “Like drinking liquid moonlight.”

Derek’s rhythm faltered, his thrusts becoming erratic as he approached his own climax. “Mine,” he snarled, burying himself deep as he filled Kai with his release.

The night continued in a blur of pleasure and discovery.

In the massive armchair by the fireplace, Marcus held Kai in his lap, facing outward toward his brothers.

Kai’s legs were spread wide, draped over the arms of the chair, leaving him completely exposed as Marcus thrust up into him with controlled, measured movements.

“Look at him,” Marcus commanded his brothers, one hand splayed possessively across Kai’s chest. “Look how perfectly he takes me.”

Caleb and Derek watched with hungry eyes, their hands on their cocks as they observed their mate’s pleasure. Kai should have felt embarrassed, displayed like this, but all he felt was a heady rush of power at how completely he had captivated these three powerful alphas.

“Touch yourself,” Marcus whispered in his ear. “Show them how good it feels.”

Kai complied, his hand wrapping around his cock as Marcus continued to thrust into him from below. The position allowed for deep penetration, each movement hitting that perfect spot inside him that made his vision blur.

“That’s it,” Marcus encouraged, his voice a low rumble agains t Kai’s back. “Let them see how beautiful you are when you come apart for me.”

Later, on the plush rug before the fire, Caleb lay on his back with Kai straddling his face, the younger brother’s tongue working him with devastating skill while Derek knelt behind, thrusting into Kai with measured strokes.

“Fuck, you taste so good,” Caleb gasped, pulling back just long enough to speak before diving in again, his tongue circling Kai’s entrance where Derek’s cock stretched him wide.

The sensation of Caleb’s tongue against his sensitive rim, alongside Derek’s thick length, was almost too much to bear. Kai cried out, his hands braced on the floor as his body trembled with overwhelming pleasure.

“Too much?” Derek asked, his hand stroking Kai’s tail with gentle pressure.

“Don’t you dare stop,” Kai managed, his voice breaking on the words.

They didn’t stop—not until Kai had come twice more, his release painting Caleb’s chest while Derek filled him from behind, both brothers growling their satisfaction as they claimed their mate.

Throughout it all, Kai’s supernatural traits continued to manifest—the glow beneath his skin brightening with each climax, his tail appearing and disappearing with his levels of arousal.

The scales along his collarbones and spine shimmered in the firelight, iridescent and mesmerizing, further evidence of his dragon heritage.

“I’m turning into a supernatural mood ring,” Kai complained after one particularly intense session left him literally glowing. “Next thing you know, I’ll be changing colors based on my emotions.”

“Blue for sarcasm?” Caleb suggested, trailing his fingers along the scales that had appeared on Kai’s back.

“Red for ‘if you touch me again, I might actually combust,’” Kai co untered, though he arched into the touch despite his words.

As the first hints of dawn began to lighten the sky outside the windows, Marcus led them all to the massive shower. The space was designed to accommodate multiple people—a feature that now seemed prescient rather than excessive.

“I’m not sure I can stand,” Kai admitted as Derek helped him from the bed. “You three have literally fucked me senseless.”

“We’ll hold you up,” Caleb promised, supporting Kai’s other side.

The shower was a sanctuary of steam and warm water, the multiple heads ensuring that no one was left in the cold.

Marcus took charge, gently washing Kai’s body with reverent hands, noting the marks they had left—bite marks on his neck, his chest, his thighs; fingerprint bruises on his hips; the redness around his entrance that spoke of their thorough claiming.

“Sorry about the marks,” Marcus murmured, running a soapy hand over a particularly vivid bite on Kai’s shoulder.

“Are you kidding?” Kai replied, leaning back against Marcus’ chest. “I’m wearing them like badges of honor. Though I might need to invest in some turtlenecks if I ever want to show my face in public again.”

Derek chuckled, helping to rinse the soap from Kai’s skin. “They’ll fade faster than human marks would. Supernatural healing.”

“Thank God for small mercies,” Kai said, then gasped as Caleb’s hands wandered lower, clearly intent on more than just cleaning. “Oh no. No, no, no. I am officially tapping out. My ass needs at least a week to recover from the Stone brother marathon.”

Caleb pouted but redirected his attention to washing Kai’s hair, his fingers massaging the scalp with just enough pressure to draw a contented sigh from their mate.

As they bathed each other, the mood shifted from sexual to tender , the bond between them settling into something warm and comfortable. By the time they stepped out of the shower, Kai was nearly asleep on his feet, his eyes heavy-lidded with exhaustion.

Marcus wrapped him in a plush towel, drying him with gentle efficiency before lifting him into his arms. Kai didn’t protest the manhandling, merely nestled closer, his head finding the crook of Marcus’ neck as if it belonged there.

“Bed,” Marcus decided, carrying Kai back to the bedroom where Derek and Caleb had already changed the sheets.

They settled Kai in the center of the massive bed, then arranged themselves around him—Derek on his right, Caleb on his left, Marcus behind him, his chest to Kai’s back. The position felt right, natural, as if they had been sleeping this way for years rather than hours.

“This is nice,” Kai murmured, already half-asleep. “Warm.”

“Sleep, little mate,” Marcus said softly, pressing a kiss to the nape of Kai’s neck. “We’ve got you.”

“Not going anywhere,” Kai assured them, his voice slurring with exhaustion. “Too comfortable. Plus, pretty sure my legs don’t work anymore.”

Caleb chuckled, draping an arm over Kai’s waist. “We’ll carry you wherever you need to go.”

“My own personal wolf chauffeurs,” Kai mumbled, his eyes drifting closed. “Convenient.”

As Kai’s breathing deepened into sleep, the brothers exchanged glances over his head. Their bond hummed with shared contentment, with promises of protection and devotion that needed no words to express.

Marcus felt it first—a subtle shift in their collective power, a strengthening of their supernatural abilities that radiated from the point where their bodies connected with Kai’s.

The dragon blood in their mate was changing them, enhancing them, bindin g them together in ways that transcended normal pack bonds.

He makes us stronger , Derek observed through their connection, his internal voice filled with wonder.

Not just stronger , Caleb added, watching the subtle glow that still emanated from Kai’s skin even in sleep. Different. More.

The legends about dragon blood were true , Marcus confirmed, feeling his alpha power settling into something deeper, more refined. He’s changing us as much as we’ve changed him.

The realization should have been unsettling, but instead, it felt right—inevitable, even. They had claimed Kai, but he had claimed them just as thoroughly, leaving his mark on their very essence.

Outside, the sun rose over the forest, bathing their territory in golden light. A new day, a new beginning—the first of many they would share with their mate.

Marcus settled deeper into the bed, his arm tightening around Kai’s waist. They had challenges ahead—the Blood Moon Coven, the mysteries of Kai’s dual heritage. But for now, in this moment, everything was perfect.

They were complete.
