3. Corvin
This omega was a goddess. She wasn’t soft and delicate, but strong and demanding. She was the one who took control, who made sure we understood where she stood.
I loved it.
My alpha needed a partner who could give as much as she could take, and it seemed we found that.
Unfortunately, she didn’t seem ready for anything more than tonight. But Willow Lake was a small town and I wasn’t the type of alpha to give up that easily. Maybe it was wrong to agree to this knowing that, but it seemed we were both holding things back.
Someone had hurt this omega and we were just the pack to help put her back together.
We could be patient if we had to be. For her, I had a feeling I would do just about anything.
Bea whimpered against my mouth, her body bucking under us as she came again. Her entire body was tense and shaking, back arching and pushing those gorgeous breasts into the air.
I broke the kiss and guided her back to Apollo, letting her focus on him while I watched her.
Fuck, she was gorgeous when she came. Like a siren pulling us into her trap and I wasn’t sure I cared.
Ezra never stopped teasing her with his tongue. It was as if he didn’t want a single drop to go to waste.
Apollo cursed, his head falling back as he came not long after, muscles tensing and face almost pained. He was always one to tease and flirt, but with her, it was different. He couldn’t stop touching her, even before this.
As an alpha, I liked seeing them falling so quickly, but I hated that she might walk away.
I was desperate for a taste, but I was letting my pack have a turn first, knowing that I was going to occupy for the longest once my knot came into play. That might be it for tonight, our omega would be spent.
Our omega. Damn that had a good ring to it. We’ve been waiting a long time for a woman like Bea to walk into our lives.
Now we just had to make sure she didn’t walk out of it.
Ezra leaned back, swiping at his face and shooting me a grin. There was something almost animalistic about the way he was reacting to this omega and it was something I’d never seen from him before.
“Birth control? Condom?” Ezra managed to ask her as he moved into position between her thighs.
“I’m on it and I’ve been tested,” she said, her voice breathless as her chest heaved.
“We have, too,” I said. “And we haven’t been with anyone since then.”
Our smart, little omega studied me for a moment, as if gauging whether I was telling the truth. I must have passed the test because she nodded, spreading her legs further for Ezra.
The beta lined himself up before sliding into her. They both moaned in tandem as he shifted forward. I’d never considered the beta dominant, but it was as if all his soft edges had been lit on fire and only this remained.
I couldn’t look away as he fucked her into the mattress. Our reactive omega met each thrust with her own. Hips shifting, breasts bouncing as he fucked her like he couldn’t get enough.
An unexpected scent swelled in the air. Toasted almonds and warm caramel. It was so sweet and smoky that I was practically drooling. Just as vibrant and warm as the omega he was fucking.
It took a second to register that it was our omega’s scent.
Holy shit. She was our scent-match.
We all froze, but she seemed oblivious, her eyes glassy and unfocused as she fell apart on Ezra’s cock. Even when he stopped moving, she continued, fucking herself on him in a desperation that could only mean one thing.
This omega was going into heat.
“Make her come, Ez. She’s about to go into heat. We need her consent to help her through it,” I commanded.
His eyes went wide before he focused on her, hand sliding between them to give her the right amount of pressure as he picked up his pace.
“She’s ours, Corvin. Our mate,” Apollo breathed out. His eyes were wide, but full of excitement. Dread started to filter in but I pushed it away. It wasn’t going to get us anywhere.
“I’m not so sure that she will consider this a good thing,” I muttered, worry settling in my gut despite my best efforts.
Ezra let out a groan before slamming his hips forward one final time, his fingers still working over Bea so she shattered with him. Her pouty lips fell open, fingers curling tightly in the sheets, as her body rocked against Ezra’s. She embraced her release with open arms. Fuck, she was perfect.
That scent swelled more, a sweet undercurrent that was so strong it had my head swimming. She was not just spiking, this was a full heat.
I hurried into the bathroom to grab her a warm rag, cleaning her up as the high of their release started to wear off. Her eyes lost some of their glossy luster but I could still feel heat radiating off of her.
“What’s happening?” she asked, eyeing us suspiciously. I never got a chance to respond before she curled into a ball with a pained groan.
“Fuck!! It hurts,” she cried out.
“We’re scent matches and you’re in heat,” I said as gently as possible.
“No, no, no,” she whimpered. “This can’t be happening. I said no strings. None. I can’t do this again.”
We shared a look at ‘again.’ She definitely had a past, one we’d have to be very careful with. The last thing I wanted to do was cause this omega more pain, but we were swiftly running out of options.
She could choose sedation. Or the local heat clinic could offer her other alphas to help, but they’d be strangers. I hated the thought but it wasn’t my choice.
“Do you want us to help you through this heat, Bea?” Ezra asked as he stroked her hair out of her face. Her tan skin was already sweaty, the dark strands sticking to it.
“No. Yes,” she answered as another cramp hit her. “Fuck!”
“That’s the plan,” Apollo joked. It was just how the beta was and she let out an unhinged laugh in response.
“What happens once the heat is over can be dealt with after, omega. We just want to help you right now,” I promised her.
If we pushed, she’d leave. That wasn’t an outcome I could live with.
“We can keep those strings unattached for now,” Apollo reassured her. “Just get through this heat then we can talk. Okay?”
She looked like a deer in headlights. Her eyes were wide and terrified and I just wanted to hold her close.
I wasn’t sure how to approach this omega.
She was so strong, a fighter, ready to face off with us.
But something underneath that was scared and vulnerable.
This was delicate. We didn’t know enough about her to know the right way to handle it.
“We’ve got you,” Ezra promised. His voice was strong and confident. “At the end of the day, all we want to do is keep you safe.”
“Okay,” she finally said as tears leaked down her face. I moved then, stretching out next to her and pulling her into my chest. A purr echoed out, rumbling gently to soothe her. She needed connection and reassurance, that was something I could provide.
“Tell me what we can do to help,” I urged her.
“I’m scared, Corvin.” Her big, brown eyes finally met mine. They were begging me to be gentle.
To keep her safe.
That, I could do.
“Look at me, Bea. You found three men who have dedicated their lives to keeping people safe. But you? You’re a scent-match. A woman who captivated us from the moment we laid eyes on you. I need you to trust us. We’ll help you through this and talk more afterwards.
“Don’t hurt me.”
It was a plea. One that was filled with enough pain that my chest ached. I had a feeling it had to do with the mottled skin along her arm and down her torso. I’d noticed it the moment she took her clothes off but it was part of her, just as beautiful and strong as the rest of her.
“We won’t.”
She didn’t take her eyes off of me as she breathed in and out. Each one was purposeful, not stopping until they’d evened out and some of her panic had subsided.
“Take me, alpha.”
My alpha was elated. She’d trusted us with her heat; hadn’t run when things got complicated.
I fused my lips to hers, deepening the kiss as her essence seemed to wrap around me. This omega was meant to be in my arms.
A whimper of pain broke the kiss. She shoved me against the bed and straddled my hips, sinking down on my cock to bring her own relief. I watched in awe as she took all of me in one move, her head falling back in pure bliss and her pussy clenched around me.
She was fucking perfect.
Caramel and toasted almond floated around us, a cloud in the air now that we couldn’t escape. She’d given in and now her heat was taking full control. Every scent was amplified and my knot was throbbing angrily, ready to fill the omega.
Each time she slammed herself down on my cock, she was a little closer to taking my knot. I bit down on my tongue trying to control myself. The urge to take over was strong, but I needed to let her have this moment of control.
“You feel so good,” she breathed as she circled her hips. She lifted herself off one last time before slamming herself down, forcing my knot past her resistance, settling into place and locking us together.
I truly had never felt anything so incredible. She was hot and tight around me. Every rock of her hips, the way she clenched around me, teasing me, was driving me insane.
My hands rested on her hips. They were large, almost engulfing her waist. My skin was pale against the gorgeous tan of her skin.
Bea was unlike any other omega I’d ever seen. It went beyond just her face. She seemed so full of fight and humor. The way she had half the town at her side told me she was an amazing person, too.
I hoped she gave us a chance to find out more.
Bea’s nails raked down my chest. The sting of it was threatening my control. Hell, everything she did had me spiraling out of the control I’d always coveted. And here I was, embracing that change like it was nothing.
She moaned again and I couldn’t take it anymore. My hands tightened around her waist, lifting her off, then slamming her back down on my cock. I did that over and over while she screamed out her pleasure, her voice echoing on the walls, making me very glad that we had our own packhouse.
The urge to bite her, claim her, rut her, was riding me hard now. I promised to keep her safe, though, and that was a promise I’d never break.
“That’s right, siren. Come for your alpha,” I urged as her pussy fluttered around me. Now her nails dug into my skin to the point she drew blood.
Bea’s hips were moving frantically now, rocking against mine as her mouth fell open in a silent scream, eyes squeezed shut as she tried to give in.
I had a feeling that was tough for her. Trusting us, even more so.
Bea broke first. Her orgasm slammed through her, a scream finally escaping as she squeezed me so fucking tight that I could barely breathe. My knot had never felt so damn good. She was so hot she was burning me alive and I had never wanted to let fire consume me more.
This was the kind of moment that burrowed its way into your veins and changed you forever. I promised this omega that we could talk after her heat was over, but this girl had officially dug her claws into me.
There was no going back now.
