Chapter 24
Our Omega was so independent that sometimes it would be easy to forget she was an omega. When alphas are raised, most of us hear how we should coddle and spoil our omegas. With Dani, we spoil her, but she also takes care of herself and wants space for her career and not just wanting to rely on us.
It was an adjustment, but an easy one. We just needed her close to us, to protect her.
Dani in preheat was something very different, entirely. She didn’t hesitate to tell us what she needed as she set up her nest, even letting us give her our things to represent us as well.
It made it feel less disconnected. We’d had too many games and work conflicts getting between us. If not for our nights together I’d lose my mind.
It was still early days, and I knew I had to give our pack some slack. We all had careers, different paths, and we were still working on combining our lives.
I wanted nothing more than to steal our omega away to our apartment, but I couldn’t exactly do that. Dani was sweet and soft right now, even a little vulnerable. I loved this side of her just as much as her sassy side.
She was still arranging the little pieces of ourselves that she’d demanded we bring her. It was adorable watching her move around and change it, getting flustered when it wasn’t just right.
Jackson was helping her finalize the details of her nest while I was making sure a bath was ready, dropping in some of her favorite bath bombs we’d found.
This wasn’t exactly like we thought her heat would start… hell, not even when we thought it would be. Going into heat mid game wasn’t exactly something we could plan and prep for, but our pack handled it fairly well. Hopefully, she thought the same when it was all over.
She was weeks early, but from everything I’d read online, that was normal. Finding a new pack sped up biology. It was nature’s way of ensuring we didn’t walk away from our omega.
The fact that we had already bitten her and didn’t notice sooner had me questioning how much she blocked the bond. It was during a game, which made sense, but I didn’t like the idea of her being vulnerable or hurt and us having no clue. The bond was there for a reason.
“Let’s get you in that bath, sweets,” Jackson urged, leading her away. With our omega occupied, I headed for the kitchen, unloading a few of the supplies we’d had delivered earlier and making sure everything was in place.
I opted for easy foods we could feed her bites of. Complete with a charcuterie board I’d ordered. It had a mix of fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses. A good, rounded selection that would keep her energy up.
People liked to talk about how we’d need a beta in our pack. Three alphas would, apparently, be an issue eventually. Right now, I was thanking my lucky stars. We’d be able to keep our omega satisfied, at least one knot always ready for her.
Maybe that’s why our omega was so independent. She had to be to handle three alphas.
We were all a bit different. Jackson was the steady one, and was fairly skilled at keeping us calm. Cy was like sunshine, bringing a lightness we desperately needed. I was the protective alpha, always making sure threats like Henry weren’t getting too close.
If he even tried to show his ugly fucking face around us again, I might have to make an exception. He never should’ve approached her.
I still couldn’t believe it had escalated so quickly… all over petty jealousy. The fact that the other team took him on, still blew my mind. Coach was livid and raising hell with the league, and I had a feeling he was about to cause problems.
Good.
A soft whimper from the nest had me rushing back in, loaded tray in hand. I’d even gotten an electrolyte drink with a straw to make sure she stayed hydrated. When I walked in Dani was doubled over, clutching her stomach.
“Hurts, Alpha,” she gasped, meeting my eyes. Her own glistened with tears. God, I wished. I could take every bit of pain.
Jackson already had his arms around her, but at the moment she seemed to want all three of us here.
“Cy, she needs us!” I called out. He rushed in and dropped to his knees in front of her, looking to me to fix this.
“Are you ready for us to help ease the pain?” I asked, wanting to make sure she was truly ready for us to take control.
She nodded frantically. “Give me your knots. I know you guys will take care of me.” Her eyes were slightly glassy now, but her voice was strong.
I leaned down and kissed her softly. “You know we’ve got you. But first, I need you to try to eat something. If you’re a good omega, then you’ll get all the knots you want.”
Dani didn’t look pleased, and I knew my time was limited, so I grabbed the plate I’d brought in.
“Listen to your alpha, omega,” I said, appealing directly to her omega side this time. “Open up.”
She didn’t protest. Her lips parted obediently. I popped a cheese cube into her mouth, watching happily as she chewed quickly and swallowed. Then she looked up at me with those big, beautiful eyes.
“Good job,” I praised.
“Eat a couple more bites for us,” Jackson urged her. “Then we’ll give you exactly what you need. It’s our job to keep you safe, remember? Can you trust us to do that?”
“Yes, alpha,” she said. There was a sassy little curl to her lips. Our omega was still there, at least in part.
Was she fighting the heat? She’d never been able to rely on anyone in her life quite like she relied on us, and I wanted to make sure we did this the right way. That we didn’t misuse that trust in any way.
I fed her bite after bite, reminding her that she was being so good for us. She looked hesitant, but still obediently opened her mouth and chewed each bite, taking everything we gave her.
When I was finally satisfied, I nodded at Jackson, letting him know it was fine to go ahead. He glanced nervously between us.
“I don’t want to cause problems or get in the way,” Jackson said, looking at us both.
“Give her what she needs and I’ll be happy,” I promised. Nothing like this was going to get between us. We’d been friends and pack for far too long.
Honestly, my alpha was pleased any time our pack gave her what she needed. He just needed to see our omega cared for.
The moment Dani realized that she was finally getting what she asked for, she was already rolling over onto the mattress and presenting for her alphas. Her knees were spread wide and that delectable ass raised in the air.
Fuck, she was a vision. How did the three of us assholes get this lucky?
“So fucking perfect,” Jackson praised her as his hands ghosted over her creamy skin. She looked back at him, her eyes now glassy as she finally let go. It was a humbling feeling, knowing that she was putting her heat and her vulnerability in our hands.
“Give her what she needs, Jackson,” I ordered. He didn’t question that I was giving out commands. He just quickly shrugged out of his clothes and pressed himself to her back. Feathering soft kisses down her spine as she let out the softest sighs of pleasure.
His fingers kneaded her cheeks, urging her to spread even wider for him. This wasn’t one of those times that we were going to tease her or deny her, I wanted our omega to know that she was going to get exactly what she needed from us.
Jackson lined himself up. He was trying to be careful with her, gentle, but our omega wasn’t having it. She shifted backwards quickly, slamming herself down on his waiting cock. She looked so damn pleased with herself, her grin mischievous as she glanced back at us.
“So needy,” he teased, giving her ass a light slap, but that didn’t stop him from leaning his head back and working on his breathing. I understood the feeling. There was nothing more incredible than the feel of our omega wrapped around our knots.
The moment he started to move, Dani’s face was in the mattress, her breathing ragged as she clutched the sheets.
Cy shifted closer, stroking her hair back and putting it gently into a messy bun. A few curls escaped, but it only made her look more beautiful, like a greek goddess full of soft curves that would bring any alpha to his knees.
The bond was burning bright between us. I could feel how happy she was, how much she needed this. There was also relief. If she had any lingering worries, they were gone now.
This wasn’t the time for teasing or edging. There would be plenty of times we could use both of those tools to shatter her in all the best ways, but they’d have to wait.
Cy shifted closer like he couldn’t stand an inch of distance between them. As soon as he was within reach, she was dragging him closer. Dani lifted up slightly before her lips were wrapping around his dick.
Our little minx was quick.
“Holy shit, peach. You’re killing me,” he choked out, his fingers disappearing into her red hair, not controlling the movement but letting her keep that control. All of us were already hanging on by a thread.
Her scent was so strong in the air now; that ‘peaches and honey’ was so thick that you could practically swallow it. I’d never experienced anything quite like it.
Just one breath of her full heat scent and my cock was hard, knot trying to swell even though it wasn’t the time.
“Alpha,” she screamed as Jackson lifted her slightly, gripping her hips in a bruising hold as he pistoned in and out of her. The movements were shallow now, meaning his knot had already swelled.
“You’re taking me so good, sweets,” he groaned. Seeing my pack together like this was everything. I was falling apart right along with them at this point.
My knot ached, my alpha pushing me to get closer, desperate to have a taste of her. I kept my stance firm, observing for now. There’d be time for all of us to have a taste.
Dani shattered without either of them touching her, their pleasure was enough. I could feel it in the bond, amping up my own. Just this was enough for our girl at the moment and I loved that.
“Oh, she’s squeezing me so tight,” Jackson groaned, his movements slightly jerky.
He came with a roar I never would’ve expected from him. Everything in this moment was almost primal, as if we left our normal reactions behind.
In here, it was just pack. Three alphas and their omega, all giving into instinct and riding this out together. This was how I wanted my life to be and she was the missing piece.
Now she was ours. Wearing our bites on her skin and entrusting us to be beside her.
If she thought heat was one sided, she’d lost her mind. We were getting just as much from this moment as she was. Not just lust, but a connection that was even stronger than before.
Jackson collapsed over her back since they were locked together now. She was still working on Cy. The wet slurping sounds were downright obscene. Fuck, the sight of her as she looked up at him, cock down her throat, was something I’d commit to memory.
His hands tightened as he groaned, holding her still with her nose buried in his pelvic bone. She came next with a sexy little cry, quickly followed by Cy. Both alphas were putty as she squeezed them for everything they had.
Which they gave willingly.
We thought Dani was responsive before, but it was nothing in comparison to our girl in heat.
“Such a good omega,” I purred, letting the rumble fill the air. Watching our omega preen at the praise had my chest warming.
When she collapsed against the mattress, Jackson easily moved her to the side, laying them down and stroking her hair.
I hurried to the bathroom wetting a cloth with cool water before coming back.
I gently cleaned her, running it gently over her feverish flesh.
I’d never felt anyone this hot before, it had to be miserable.
The rag quickly became too warm, but I was done by then, my alpha satisfied that we took care of her.
“Thank you,” was all she managed before her eyes fluttered closed and she was snoring softly, completely worn out.
“I’ve never felt anything like this,” Jackson said, holding her close. He had that same dreamy look on his face that she did earlier.
“She was made for us.”
