Chapter 23

APRIL
They’re everywhere.
All I can scent is Alpha , and my inner Omega screams for more.
I won’t be complete without their mating bites.
Rational April knows that’s insane. The April from a year ago would balk at my desire.
But I don’t care.
This is my pack.
And I…
I love them.
One minute, I’m choking on Liam’s cock with Hunter’s tongue in between my legs, and the next minute Donovan is wiping my face with a cool cloth, cleaning me up.
The other two have left the room.
I still haven’t been knotted, and I whimper with need.
“Patience,” he says softly. “Let us do this for you.”
“I asked for rough,” I grit out, and he chuckles.
“And believe me, you’re going to get it rough, Omega. But I’ll be damned if we don’t worship you in between.”
I try to sit up but am assaulted by a cramp along with a rush of slick that spills out of me and onto the blankets.
Donovan’s pants are back on but still unbuttoned, and he sits above me, watching the slick pool out of me. “Perfection,” he growls, and I whimper, clawing at his arm, until he leans down and kisses me roughly. His tongue thrusts in and out of my mouth and I lift my hips, thrusting my soaked core against his erection.
There’s a wild, hungry look in Donovan’s eyes, one I’ve never seen before. He kicks off his pants, climbs on top of me, and slowly pushes into me, his gaze burning into mine.
The sensation is too much, but just right. I close my eyes, moaning at the stretch, until he grips my face with his hand, squeezing my cheeks tightly.
“ Eyes open ,” he commands. “Look at me when I claim you.”
I’m helpless to resist him.
He bottoms out inside of me with our hips touching, and finally I feel the slightest bit of relief.
My cunt squeezes him, and he growls.
“Fuck, you’re so tight,” he hisses. “I can’t even move inside you.”
As if to prove his point, I clench my walls around him, and he hisses. He presses his forehead to mine, panting against my lips.
Slowly, he thrusts, and pleasure builds in me.
“Yes,” I cry, reveling in the sensation of Donovan inside of me. I’ve been waiting for this for so long.
Donovan has finally dropped his defenses and let me in.
His icy eyes pierce mine, his gaze holding me in place as he pumps into me.
His Alpha scent is all around me, welcoming and delicious, and my release builds before I can warn him.
My climax hits me hard, my body shaking and clenching around his cock, and he shudders.
“You’re perfect,” he hisses. “You’re perfect for me, and I’m so fucking sorry I made you feel less than?—”
I shut him up with a kiss, moaning into his mouth as I ride out the waves of pleasure.
I don’t want to hear his apologies. Not now, when my inner Omega has already forgiven him.
“I choose you,” I choke out against his lips, my walls fluttering around his cock. “I’ll always choose you, and I forgive you.”
The room fills with the sounds of his cock pounding in and out of me as he claims me over and over. I scrunch my eyes in pleasure, another release hitting me, and I speak without thinking.
“Mate me,” I moan, arching my neck while he buries his face in my mating gland. “Please, Alpha , make me yours!”
With a low, desperate moan, Donovan sinks his teeth into my mating gland and breaks the skin. His cock inflates as pleasure rushes through my body, and my vision whites out as his knot locks into me.
Suddenly, everything changes.
Skylar had mentioned what happened to her during the mating bite with her pack, and I thought I knew what to expect.
But nothing could have prepared me for this.
Donovan is inside my heart and mind. He’s etched into my soul, and I feel everything .
His flaws, his pain, his fear, but most of all…
The goodness in his heart.
The longing to be better.
His loneliness.
He chokes out a breath as he pumps his cum into me, his mouth slightly parted as the mating bite takes its course.
“I love you,” he promises, his voice low. “I should have said it before. I’m so in love with you, Omega .”
And because I’ve seen the core of who he is, I whisper the words back to him before exhaustion kicks in and sleep takes over.
“I love you, as well.”
He rolls us onto our sides, his hips still gently moving against mine, bringing on aftershocks of my release. He whispers promises into my skin, declaring his love until I fall asleep in his arms, his knot locked tightly inside me.
I wake up under a mountain of blankets. My body is cool and cleaned, but Donovan is nowhere to be found, and there’s an undeniable ache between my legs.
But there’s a tattooed naked Alpha in bed with me, wrapped up in the blankets as well.
“Were you watching me sleep?” I croak out, meeting Hunter’s smirk.
“Guilty, baby.” Before I can say anything else, he pulls me into his arms and purrs, his chest vibrations soothing me. “I almost woke you up, but I have the patience of a saint,” he adds. “You also need to eat before we both lose our minds.”
He helps me sit up, but I shake my head in protest. “I’m not hungry.”
“Too bad, sweetheart. I’ll happily force feed you if I need to.” He reaches over and grabs a plate off an end table and lifts a fork. “Either way, you’re opening that pretty mouth for me.”
I blush and allow Hunter to give me a few bites of fruit salad with whipped cream. I try to grab the fork from him, but he lets out a warning growl and continues to feed me until the bowl is empty.
I secretly love it, my inner Omega feeling cherished.
He licks his lips as he watches me swallow. “Good,” he rasps. “Now that that’s over…sit on my face.”
I blink. “What?”
“Sit. On. My. Face.” He lies on his back in the blankets of my nest and points to his mouth. “I’m fucking parched, baby. I need something to drink.”
“You’re insane,” I choke out, but his words make my pussy clench and my stomach flip.
“How can you blame me for wanting to be drunk on my mate’s cunt? I would blend your slick into a smoothie if I could. I’m not going to ask again, April.”
By the time I lower myself onto his face, my cunt is dripping obscenely. I grip the wooden headboard of the bed as Hunter eats me out, feasting on me until my legs shake and I can’t hold myself upright.
And even then, Hunter doesn’t stop. He flicks my clit with his tongue and makes small circles until I see stars and turn into a babbling mess.
When I collapse on my back and feel like I’m about to pass out, Hunter slams into me, the bed shaking with his movements.
Nothing compares to being full of him. His tongue and fingers are exquisite, but when he thrusts into me just the right way, white hot pleasure races through my body.
A release is already building, and he senses it.
“Good Omega,” he praises, his cock hitting me in just the right spot. “I’ve waited so fucking long for this. For my mate .”
When my orgasm crests and I open my mouth in a silent scream, his mouth descends to my mating gland. It’s sensitive, worn and abused from where Donovan bit it first, and I jerk at Hunter’s touch.
But with a growl, he buries his teeth in my mating gland, his mouth latching onto the sensitive spot, and the connection falls into place.
I let out a choked gasp as I feel Hunter’s presence enter my soul. He mingles there, just like Donovan, as I sense the core of who Hunter is.
Wild and unhinged, but with a heart full of devotion for me.
“Oh,” he groans against my skin, his hips stilling as his knot inflates. He removes his mouth to pant into my ear. “Holy fuck, I love you, baby.”
I can barely speak, too overwhelmed by everything I feel.
We’re locked together, his cum pumping into me.
I never want it to stop. I want to keep the sensation of Hunter inside of me.
Besides my lover, Hunter is also my friend, and that makes the mating bond even stronger.
Instead of rolling us onto our sides, Hunter moves us so he’s on his back and I lay across his front, our chests touching. He stays inside me, occasionally moving his hips and making aftershocks of pleasure rush through me.
“I love you,” he repeats, breathless.
I’m looking into the eyes of one of my closest friends, and it gives me the courage to respond back.
“I love you, too.”
Sleep comes and goes.
I lose track of time completely.
In my more lucid moments, I can’t believe I’m experiencing my Heat on a yacht.
But when the fever takes over and I become a whimpering, needy mess, all I can focus on are the mating bonds between my Alphas.
Hunter and Donovan are in my bloodstream, and instead of it being overwhelming, there’s the innate feeling that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
I told Skylar I wouldn’t come back to Isleton with mating bites.
Looks like I was a liar.
When I’m not sleeping, I’m being tended to in more ways than one.
Hunter and Donovan feed me, wash me, and make sure I stay hydrated.
They treat me like a princess, and I keep a lazy, content smile on my face the whole time.
But when the arousal becomes too much and I need to be filled, one of them will take over and keep me seated on their cock, fucking into me until my inner Omega is satisfied.
They keep my nest full of clean, warm blankets and make sure I’m always comfortable.
But there’s one Alpha I’m missing, one that hasn’t made an appearance since the beginning of my Heat.
Liam.
I can scent him, though. His mint and eucalyptus scents are still as strong as ever, but I haven’t seen him.
“He’s been here,” Donovan says softly in one of my more lucid moments. He sits with me on the edge of the bed, fully dressed and purring as I lean my head on his shoulder. “He’s been here when you’ve been sleeping.”
I swallow. “Why? Is he?—”
“He’s nervous,” he finishes. “At least, that’s as much as he will tell me.”
My emotions are haywire, and tears fill my eyes in sympathy. “I need him,” I whisper. “I…I miss him.”
“I know you do.” Donovan presses a kiss to my hair. “I can sense it in you.”
I have maybe a handful of minutes before I lose control and become a desperate Omega again, and I want Liam to be there when it happens.
As if on cue, there’s a knock on the cracked door. Donovan stands and opens it, letting Liam inside.
“Take care of her,” he says curtly, before leaving us.
Liam nods, his gaze falling to me. He’s dressed in a grey sweater and dark jeans, and he walks over to me slowly, a soft smile on his face.
“Hi, beautiful,” he says, and my core clenches. I’m naked, wrapped only in a thick, plush comforter.
“Alpha,” I groan, my mouth watering. “Please, don’t make me wait.”
That seems to alleviate whatever nerves were in him, because he walks to the foot of the bed and caresses my cheek. “You’ll never have to wait again,” he says softly. “I’m sorry I made you wait this long. I just…I wanted to be sure that you wanted me as your mate.”
“Liam,” I groan, pushing the comforter off me. His pupils dilate, and a low growl sounds in his throat as he takes in my naked body. “I…I need…”
But then he’s pushing me back onto the bed and leaning down to kiss me, his tongue plunging into my mouth. It’s messy, and his hands tremble as he cups my face.
“I love you,” he whispers against my lips. “I love you; I’ve always loved you, even before I met you. Please allow me the honor of mating you.”
I smile against his mouth and let out a half delirious laugh. “I’ve been waiting for you to do it. Once you bite me…I’ll be complete.”
“I love you,” he whispers again, and this time, I repeat the words back to him.
“I love you, too,” I say. “Now please… please fuck me.”
He groans and pulls the sweater over his head, exposing his chiseled, muscled chest. I run my hands across his abs eagerly, moaning at the feel of his muscles under my fingers.
Liam never had any reason to be nervous. He’s perfect for me.
He pushes his jeans down, and at the first press of his cock at my entrance, he growls.
He slides in easily this time, my cunt soaked in slick and ready for his cock. His movements are slow but deep, and he takes his time fucking into me, keeping his eyes trained on my face.
But then he leans his head down to take my nipple into his mouth, and my body lights on fire.
I turn feral.
“Harder,” I beg. “Alpha, please .”
He pushes into me, his cock going as deep as it can, pressing against the spot inside of me that makes me see stars.
And when my first release hits, he fucks me through it, picking up his pace until my breasts are bouncing underneath him. Slick spills out of me and I soak us both, making a mess all over the nest.
Right when I’m about to climax again, Liam flips us over so he’s on his back and I’m on top.
“Ride me,” he grits out, panting. “Bounce on me until I knot you.”
He grips my hips, helping me position myself as I ride his cock, rocking back and forth on him, my breath coming out in ragged exhales.
At this angle, he’s even deeper, and I purposely clench my pussy muscles so he barely fits inside me.
“Going to come,” I choke out, and he lets out a growl.
“That’s it, Omega. Come for me, please ?—”
I let out a scream, the sound echoing throughout the room as my release burns through me. My entire body is on fire from pleasure, and I collapse on top of Liam just as his teeth bite into my mating gland.
It sets off another orgasm, and Liam groans into my skin as his cock inflates, his knot pumping his cum into me.
At the same time, the mating bite with Liam takes hold, and his essence floods into me.
I sense the kindness in his soul and the deep, pure love he feels for me.
I sense his heart, and the goodness that’s at the core of who he is.
And finally, I’m fully mated to Pack Axton.
I’m permanently connected to the three Alphas that stole my heart.
