I know they say omegas run hot during a heat, but I honestly can't imagine this being a normal temperature.

Anastasia's eyes pop open. She nods. "Alpha,please."

"Is it okay if I climb in here?" Cas asks, knee-walking toward us. "She's entirely too hot. That's where I was. I went to find the thermometer."

"Come on in," I growl. My tone is completely at odds with my words, but I'm on edge. If she's not in full-blown heat she's definitely in pre-heat. Her skin is literally burning my flesh.

"Tilt your head toward me, pretty girl," Cas says, taking a seat by Ana's head.

Ana whimpers. "Wolfe, I need you to knot me. I ache for you. Then you can take my temperature, okay? It's important."

I chuckle. She's cute as hell sometimes. I really love it when she's feisty, but these tender, sweet moments are growing on me with an intensity that scares the hell out of me.

"Let's make this a little easier on Cas, shall we?" I pull out, rolling her to face him. She lies on her side as I crawl behind her, lift her thigh, and thrust all the way to my knot.

Ana whines. It makes my teeth ache with the nearly undeniable urge to bite into her tender flesh.

I focus on the tight grip of her wet little pussy instead of doing something exceptionally stupid. Such as biting my omega without consent. Being an alpha can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. My impulses and the fog are trying to convince me that an omega whining for me means she wants my bite. Maybe a few hundred years ago assholes thought that was okay. They believed that biology signaled consent, but nowadays we know better.

"You're such a good girl," Cas coos.

I lean up on my forearm as he pulls the thermometer from Anastasia's mouth. He looks at me and his face is concerned.

"One-eleven," he says, running his fingers over her cheek. "Knot her now."

"Yes," Ana sobs. She tries to pull her knees up to her chest, but Cas blocks them.

That's a bad sign.

I don't hesitate. I plant my huge palm on her hip and lower stomach to hold her in place then thrust all the way to the hilt. It takes my goddamn breath away. She's so snug that I can't seem to understand how her body can accommodate my swelling knot, but it sure as fuck does.

"It's okay, Ana. We've got you," Cas murmurs, nuzzling his cheek to hers. "You're going to feel better soon."

Anastasia whinesagain.

"Fuck, Cas. The fog is taking over," I groan as my knot swells, fully locking us together. "Don't let me do anything stupid."

"Oh shit," Ana sobs. "Bite me, Wolfe! Now, bite,please!"

I bite my lower lip to keep from complying and shake my head, trying to knock out the fog that's slipping in.

"No biting," Cas says, pulling Anastasia's mouth to his. He lies down at her front and teases her nipple as they kiss. Damn, they certainly got a lot friendlier than they were when I left for work this morning. "Rut into her and settle this wave."

I blink at him over Anastasia's shoulder. He's turned into quite the bossy dick since I saw him last. Ana begs into the kiss, and I get my shit together. She needs me. I won't leave her hurting.

I pull her top leg up, wrapping it back and over my hip until her toes touch the mattress behind me. And I rut the fuck out of my omega.

"I'm going to come," Ana says. Her cunt locks down on my knot and the fog slips in. Then it's hazy rutting, and coming more times than I can count.

Chapter Fifteen

Anastasia

My body aches. Despite the fact Wolfe has been knotting me like crazy for several hours, my temperature has yet to level out. Rafe has been forcing us to take breaks and drink something regularly.

"Ana hasn't eaten since this morning," Rafe says to Wolfe. "I'm going to check in on Vik and warm up some of the food you brought. You both should eat something before too long."

We both grumble some form of assent and Rafe heads to leave the nest.
