Chapter 22
TWENTY-TWO
JADE
Jewel came with his eyes locked onto mine, his body shuddering as cum poured onto Hugo’s stomach and chest. He was panting, his eyes half-lidded and heavy as he gazed at me before slumping forward.
Hugo wrapped his arms around Jewel, and a purr rumbled to life in his chest. After a few moments, he lifted his head, and his hand slid out to grasp Casey’s.
“Now them.” He tugged Casey’s arm over to Hugo. “Need them.”
“Shh,” Hugo said, stroking Jewel’s hair. “Casey. Do you want to be part of this pack?”
Jewel chewed on his lower lip as Casey looked between them. “I’d like that,” he finally said, giving them a small smile. “If you’re sure you want me.”
“Absolutely.” Hugo didn’t hesitate, and Jewel pushed Casey toward Hugo more.
Casey watched in awe as Hugo bit down on his wrist. There was a momentary flinch of pain, then his eyes widened as he joined the pack.
They all turned to me.
“Hmm?” I blinked and cocked my head to the side, laying the faux confusion on thick. “Can I help you boys with something?”
“Oh, I don’t know, why don’t you come over here and see?” Jewel said. The moment seemed to stretch between us, the sharp breath and racing heart before the cliff leap.
This was it—a permanent commitment to this pack.
Hugo was an easy yes. I’d seen that man at his worst, and he still held my respect. I trusted him to be our solid foundation. Casey was our heart, and my reason to keep trying to make the world a little bit better.
Still, it was Jewel’s hand that was reaching out to me. Jewel was the catalyst for all of this, a force of nature sweeping us along in his storm.
I wasn’t pretending it was a difficult choice; it wasn’t a choice at all. The most frustrating thing of all was that Jewel had been right all along. We were inevitable.
I was hopelessly gone for that idiotic, narcissistic omega, and I didn’t think there was anything in the world that would make me stay away from him.
No, the question had never been about whether I loved him. The question was, how much would it hurt?
I took his hand, and he pulled me into a deep kiss. I groaned against him, forcing myself closer. I wanted all of him.
Jewel practically slammed me down on top of Hugo. His eyes were wild as he looked down at me and spread my legs apart. I expected him to start fucking me, but instead he dove between my legs, burying his face in my pussy.
“Good boy,” Hugo growled, hitching me higher up so his lips could brush my neck. The room seemed to be spinning a bit, and Jewel’s tongue did something that made my thighs squeeze his head.
“Oh, fuck,” I panted as he moved his hand up and made good use of his fingers. Hugo’s lips brushed my shoulder as his hands grabbed my waist, holding me in place.
There was so much sensation, between Hugo’s solid form beneath me, his breath hot on my skin, and Jewel’s relentless tongue. I couldn’t keep my thighs from squeezing tighter at the intensity, almost pushing Jewel off. He growled and pinned my legs open.
Casey was off to the side, watching me be pinned down by Hugo and Jewel, watching me be spread open and fucked without mercy.
The thought of him watching, of how we must look, was enough to make me shatter.
Jewel’s finger curled inside me, and he sucked on my clit as my orgasm rocked through me.
It was so much, almost too much, but Jewel didn’t let me go.
He pushed my body further, breaking that barrier, and I cried out as something else inside me exploded with pleasure in a wet burst.
Jewel rose up like a triumphant god, his face shining with my release. His hands slammed down either side of me as he sheathed his entire length inside of me.
Pleasure was humming from the contact, buzzing up to my brain, and my orgasm kept going, thrumming with every flutter of my pussy around his cock.
There was a prick in my shoulder, a shock of pain that quickly morphed into another wave of pleasure. More than just the bite, though, was the collision of our souls.

I blinked my eyes open and rolled over, wincing as muscles I didn’t even know existed let me know how unhappy they were.
Beside me, Jewel and Hugo appeared to finally have exhausted themselves.
They were both asleep, Hugo’s arm slung protectively over Jewel.
Casey came over, his humming gentle in the dimly lit room.
He had a washbasin and a cloth and set to work wiping down Hugo.
Hugo stirred, sitting up slightly.
“Hey, Master Hugo,” Casey said. “You up for some water?”
Hugo grunted, but he must not be rutting anymore, because he sat all the way up and took the bottle Casey was offering. He was snoring as soon as his head hit the pillow again.
Casey grabbed some clean water, and I groaned as he rubbed down my sore body with deliciously warm water. His expression was so sweet, I couldn’t help sitting up and giving him a kiss.
“Thanks, peaches.”
He gave me a shy smile. “I got you a new, uh…” He held up a clean cock sleeve.
I grinned and took out the used one between my legs. I think if I had let Jewel rut me as much as he’d wanted to, he might have actually fucked me to death. Or fucked my pussy to death.
Here lies Jade’s vagina, slain by omega dick.
I probably would have let him, too, if Casey hadn’t saved me with the cock sleeves.
Between constant exposure to Hugo’s pheromones, Jewel’s heat scent, and the amount of omega cum being pumped into my system, I had been borderline delirious for a while there.
I’d never been so horny or orgasmed so much in my life, but that didn’t mean my body was built to keep up with an omega in heat.
“What day is it?” I asked, stifling a yawn.
“Monday,” Casey said.
Huh. Time didn’t seem to have a lot of meaning here. It had all passed by in a blur of warm bodies and a pair of golden eyes glittering at me in the dim light.
“Come here, peaches.” I opened my arms wide, inviting him next to me.
He blushed but came to lay beside me. I opened my mind to the bond.
Right now, it kind of felt all fuzzy. I was getting a general sense of happiness from the bond, from all of them.
I scrunched my face and poked my tongue out a bit as I tried to focus in on Casey specifically.
There it was; he was content and nervous but excited. Man, that took a lot of effort.
I relaxed and snuggled into him more. “It’s kind of weird, huh?”
“The bond?”
I nodded.
“Yeah.” He smiled. “Nice, though.”
“Is it what you thought it would be like?”
“No.” His happiness was so strong that I could feel it without even trying. His cheeks went a bit red as he whispered, “It’s better.”
“Yeah?”
He nodded, and he gave me a shy smile. “I feel like I belong. I never thought I’d get to have this with people who… well, are you guys. People I like so much. It kind of feels too good to be true.”
“I’m happy that you’re happy.”
“Yeah.” Casey chewed on his lip.
“What?”
“I just hope my mum’s okay. She must be so worried.”
I sat up straighter, my eyes widening. “Oh, shoot! I’ll get a message to Kaos. Laurel will be able to tell her you’re all right.”
“Really?” Casey slumped in relief. “That would be amazing.”
I pulled out my burner phone and wrote a message to Laurel’s alpha. Then I sighed.
“Wish me luck,” I said, edging away from Jewel. I really had to pee, but my last couple of bathroom trips had been stressful since Jewel didn’t want to let me out of his sight.
This time, though, he was out cold. He frowned a little in his sleep as my weight left the bed, but he didn’t wake up.
I was washing my hands when he stumbled into the bathroom, Casey hovering behind him. “Jade,” he mumbled and practically fell onto me.
“You lump,” I grumbled, struggling to not fall down.
Casey swooped in and helped keep us upright.
“Come on. Let’s get you back to bed,” I told him.
“Jade,” he murmured. “Need you.” He pulled me into his sweaty chest, nuzzling into my hair.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m right here,” Together Casey and I guided him back to the bed.
“Where were you?” He wrapped his arms around me, but his heat must be waning because he wasn’t trying to have sex.
“I was in the bathroom, you idiot. Like, five feet away.”
“I called and called, but you didn’t come.” His voice trembled. “I was so scared.”
This man.
This man would be the death of me.
“Shh. It’s okay. It was only a dream.” I smoothed his hair over his forehead, swallowing past the lump in my throat.
He fell asleep like that, curled up against me with a low purr rumbling in his chest.

Jewel had slept for almost the entire day, and Hugo only had to knot him once. Hugo mostly slept as well, which left me with a lot of time to worry.
First things first—we had to get out of here. It was a miracle the Institute hadn’t raided the Safe House while we were here, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t. We needed to get to my actual safe house, like, yesterday.
I heard rustling and looked up to see Jewel was awake. He gave a huge yawn and a stretch. “Good morning, beautiful.” He shot me a grin.
Jewel leaned over and kissed Casey on the shoulder. “I did it! I did it, you’re all mine now!”
“Calm down,” I told him.
“I won’t! I can’t! You’re all mine forever and ever!”
I couldn’t help smiling. His joy was infectious.
“Good, you’re up. Go have a quick shower. We’ve got to pack up.”
Jewel sighed and stood up, wincing slightly.
“Here,” Casey said, rushing over with an armful of fluffy towels.
Jewel pecked him on the cheek. “Come help me, teddy bear?”
Casey flushed but followed Jewel into the bathroom.
“Emphasis on quick!” I called after them as the door closed. I went to the bed and sat down next to Hugo, rubbing his shoulder.
“Come on, alpha man. You need a wash too.”
