Mia

S hock courses through me. Bear their children? Before I can spiral into panic, another shock of pain rocks my body. Groaning, I clutch my abdomen, hoping it’ll help.

The relentless heat has spread, consuming my entire body now. I feel each pulse shoot straight to my core, building into an unbearable ache. I stumble again, knocking a stool to the ground.

The ache overwhelms me, and I sink to the kitchen floor.

I press my hands to my lower belly and clench my thighs together. A new, hollow, clenching sensation takes over—intense and sharp. I look up at Kane with desperation and panic.

“How long will it last, exactly?” I gasp.

“Usually, at least a week.”

My panic overwhelms me, and my body trembles. I sit up and wrap my arms around my knees. Even my teeth are chattering despite the unrelenting heat coursing through me.

I want to protest further, but at that moment, my panic is replaced with an overwhelming need. A deep pressure between my legs becomes unbearable. Copious amounts of wetness seeps from my pussy as my heart races faster.

“I’ll just wait until it passes,” I protest weakly, with no idea how this works.

Kane shakes his head. “Mia, you don’t want that. If you go too long into heat without a knot, you could die from complications.”

Die? He might be right. The heat and pressure are so overwhelming that my breaths become ragged pants. All I feel is the heat running through me and the unbearable pressure in my center requiring a thick nice cock.

I clench my thighs together, though it does little to help. The empty, pulsing ache consumes me, and a ragged cry tears from my throat. I would do almost anything for relief at this point.

My thoughts stray back to the ritual and how the knot felt so good inside me. Locked together with Kane, I had felt satisfied. Even when his release pumped into me, I remember feeling a sense of pleasure and relief. I wonder if it can satisfy this aching need now, maybe even ease my suffering.

At the sight of my distress, Kane’s expression sharpens. “Mia, I’m sorry, but we need to help you.”

His calm control gives way to something darker as he scoops me into his powerful arms, his grip firm and steady. I struggle against him as he carries me to the couch.

“Put me down, Kane! I mean it!” I shout. Without a word, Jace and Finn follow as I moan in pain.

I whimper as Kane deposits me onto the sofa cushions. Every sensation against my skin seems to intensify the cloying need within me.

“Listen to me, Mia,” Kane says, his tone firm. “You are ours by choice, and we would never take your freedom away from you.”

I try to reply, but I am so consumed by the waves of heat and the empty pressure. All I can do is writhe on the couch.

Kane leans down and presses his hands against me, stilling my frantic movements. Our eyes meet, and I can see the seriousness in his expression.

Together, we take a few deep breaths.

For a moment, it’s as if we’re breathing as one.

He gently tilts my chin toward him. I don’t pull away. His piercing gaze bores into me as he speaks slowly.

“We need to do this, Mia. Or we could lose you,” Kane explains calmly.

“But I can’t! I’m not sure if I can do this. I’m scared,” I whisper. I’m scared of getting pregnant, of having sex with all of them at once. So much remains unclear, and this feels like a significant step.

My heart flutters in my chest, and I groan at the burning coursing through my veins.

“I need you to understand how important you are to us. It’s about more than the wolf blood that runs through your veins. We care for you,” he says, his voice soft, but I can hear the sincerity in his words.

Tension thickens between us as Kane moves in closer, his lips just inches from mine. I feel his hot breath against my skin. He captures my mouth with his, and I try not to moan out loud in pleasure.

But my body gives in to his alpha dominance as if it knows this is what I need.

I arch my back, pressing my body flush against him. He hisses in a breath as I grind my hips, searching for release. My body's instincts have entirely taken over.

I’m breathless with want. With need.

Kane’s touch grows rougher as he glides his hands down my body. There’s a possessiveness in how he holds me. When his hands rest on my hips, he lets out a satisfied sigh, his dark eyes scanning every inch of me.

Without a word, he suddenly spins me around roughly. I gasp as I gaze down at the couch beneath me, still feeling his iron grip on my hips.

My fear turns into excitement. I want him to do whatever he wants to me.

“God, you’re so beautiful. And you’re ours ,” Kane says. He hisses in a breath and exhales slowly. “We can make you feel so much better, Mia. It’s my responsibility to take care of you. And to rut you, my love.”

A shiver runs up my spine as he trails possessive kisses down my neck, leaving a warm, tingling trail. When he reaches the base of my neck, he bites down gently, the sting making me gasp.

Finn and Jace suddenly join us, their eyes filled with the same desire and possessiveness as Kane’s.

Jace slips his hands under my shirt, and before I can react, my shirt and bra are on the ground next to the couch.

“Beautiful,” Jace says, brushing his thumb across my nipple, which peaks under his touch. As Finn grips my left breast, Jace brings his mouth to my other breast, his breath making my pussy throb. He trails his tongue across my breast, flicking at my nipple before sucking it.

“I bet you’re so wet for us right now,” Finn says, cupping my breast with a light squeeze while unzipping my little shorts with his other hand.

He’s so right. The wetness between my legs eases some of the hollow ache tormenting me. I squirm in their arms, bucking with desire.

I need more, and my body knows it. As good as I feel, the heat still rages beneath my skin, squeezing my belly. Jace rips my shorts and panties down to my ankles .

“We’re going to open you up for our pack leader,” Finn growls as he and Jace grip my thighs, spreading me wider for Kane with my back still turned to him. Now my pussy is completely exposed to him. And Kane wastes no time.

He quickly undoes his belt and lets his pants fall to his ankles. Dropping his boxer briefs as well, he moves in, preparing to take me.

To knot me.

The memory of that sensation sends ripples of anticipation through me, and I salivate at the size of Kane’s cock.

He takes his time, though. Before entering me, he lets his calloused hands roam over every inch of my body, exploring and claiming.

“Kane, I need you!” I cry out, all restraint leaving me.

“Don’t worry, Mia. I’ll be inside you in a moment,” he says, rubbing and squeezing my ass cheeks while I’m still facing forward. “I’m very much enjoying your enthusiasm.”

Notching himself at my entrance, Kane rubs the tip of his cock against my throbbing clit. I grind against the pressure, desperate for more release. For more pleasure.

“Please,” I whimper.

Kane thrusts inside me so powerfully that it takes my breath away. The length of his cock stretches my pussy, and I feel so damn full.

“Thank you,” I gasp, the words tumbling out before I can think.

“So polite,” Kane growls. “I love that. Be a good omega and open your legs wider for me.”

I oblige, pressing my face into the couch as I bend further for him, spreading my knees apart. The shorts and panties still bind my ankles, so I kick them off.

“Wow, she’s so pink,” Jace says, admiring my pussy as he watches Kane sink into me.

Kane pushes himself deeper before he begins to thrust. This is about more than my release and pleasure- it’s also about his dominance as pack leader.

And I am all too willing to give in to it.

“You are so perfect for us, you know that?” he says. “That’s why you drive me so wild. You have always belonged here. With us.”

As the words leave his mouth, I can feel him thrust into me. His thrusts are rough, but he instinctively seems to know what I need, moving in just the right way to bring me pleasure.

I scream in satisfaction, my pussy clenching tightly around Kane's cock. “God, yes, Kane!”

“That’s our girl,” Jace says, his eyes dark with intensity. “You’re so pretty like this, being shared with the whole pack.”

Finn runs his fingers through my hair. “Do you like that, Mia? To feel your pussy taken by the leader of the pack? You’re breathing really hard.”

“Yes! Yes, I like it,” I cry out, no longer shy with them. This heat is overwhelming, and every thrust brings me the highest form of pleasure. But I had no idea what pleasure was until Kane finally orgasms inside me.

“Oh fuck,” he growls as his hot release pumps deep into me, shooting with all the force he can muster. His cock suddenly knots, stretching me fully and bringing me instant relief.

“Yes, oh my god!” I scream as all three alphas watch, breathing deeply as his knot continues to stretch me to the fullest. I collapse against the edge of the couch, out of breath and spent. It’s finally calm in the living room with my brief respite from the all-raging pain.

Kane brushes his lips against my temple, and I smile at the gentleness after he fucked me so hard minutes ago.

“You are forever and irrevocably ours, Mia. You will always be safe with us. But darling, it doesn’t end here. You will need all our knots to get through this.”
