17. Magnus
Chapter seventeen
Magnus
D amn, Opal is burning up in my arms as her lemon perfume floods the air. We have to get her home ASAP.
A government car pulls up outside the mall, and it looks as if Mila called in a favor for us. We lay Opal's head down on Zayden’s lap on the backseat while I take her legs, sending Levi a quick text.
What perfect fucking timing, hey, but I’ve had an Omega long enough now to know that this is pretty standard.
Zayden’s heat just finished the other week, and I’ve just about managed to regain my strength.
This is going to be tough.
Still, I am prepared to be there for her and take away the pain.
Opal is semi-conscious on Zayden’s lap, and he keeps whispering in her ear, telling her that everything will be all right.
My heart aches when I look at her.
I’ve never seen a more vulnerable creature, and how any Alpha can force a bond on such a delicate creature goes beyond me.
I still stand by what I said. The warden is going down.
We make it to the pack house just as Levi pulls up, and he and Reed storm out of the car.
I growl at the Acute Alpha.
Like hell he is coming into her nest. He fucking despises her, and he’s an abusive piece of shit.
“Back off!” I snap when he gets too close to her.
The Alpha actually has the gall to look at me, shocked. He soon detects the challenge, baring his teeth at me with his infamous growl.
I have no idea what he must see in my eyes because it’s enough to make him back off with his tail between his legs.
Zayden doesn’t stand up for him. Levi looks torn, but when Opal moans in my arms, he forgets all about Reed and helps us get her up to her nest.
We place her down on her pillows. Zayden takes off her leather coat, and the garment isn’t helping her in her current state.
She’s already burning up, and the leather sticks to her skin.
She opens her eyes, finding the Omega. “Zayden.”
He places his hands around her face. “It’s okay, Opal. We’ve got you."
Opal gasps for air. “It… hurts…”
My chest aches when she talks like that.
So vulnerable.
Yet she’s trained to kill any of us in a single heartbeat. All the warden has to do is give the command.
Hopefully, he truly is gone and is no longer tethered to her.
“I know," Zayden whispers. "But Magnus is here. He will help you.”
I peer at Zayden. He nods, and it seems I have his permission.
Last time, he wouldn’t even let me anywhere near Opal.
But she needs my knot.
Opal turns to me eagerly, licking her lips, and I nestle down closer to her, letting her unzip my pants.
It seems she has come back to herself a little. Opal gazes at me once again as she finds my cock, and a flame burns in her amber eyes.
Suddenly, she pushes me down on my back, straddling my hips with ease, and takes what she needs from me.
The Omega slides down my cock effortlessly on account of all the slick she produces, and when we meet at the hilt, she grinds her hips.
Back and forth, she rolls her hips. When she rakes her sharp nails down my chest, I growl at the pain, and has she drawn blood?
I don't fucking care.
It's the single hottest thing I have ever had done to me.
My orgasm comes. My knot swells, locking deep inside her, and Opal follows right at my heels.
Her scream echoes through the house, shattering it from its very foundations, but she's still not done.
"Behind me," she orders.
Zayden is behind her in seconds, and soon he fills her as we push her back and forth between us, bringing her to another climax.
"More," she begs.
Well, we can't deny her her wish.
So, I flip the three of us around, and now Zayden lies on his back as I fuck Opal along his cock.
This new angle seems to do the trick for her, and she soon clenches around our cocks again, finding yet another release.
And she still isn't done.
Opal is like a damn athlete as she hooks her legs around my shoulders, and I loosen her from Zayden's cock, fucking her agasint the wall this time.
Once again, her screams explode from her lungs as I send her to new, dizzying heights, and I will never tire of her satisfied moans.
I look forward to the next few days.

Some hours went by, and Opal finally took a nap.
It seems she is over the first wave.
But this is only the beginning, though.
Zayden sent me downstairs to fetch some snacks. If she wakes while I'm gone, Levi can tend to her needs.
When I step into the dark kitchen, I find Reed sitting alone at the table.
"Well, well, well… what do we have here…" I tease, opening the freezer door.
Zayden said she would need mint ice cream with hazelnut toppings, and it's like he can read her mind now.
But I suppose he is more fluent in Omega than I am.
"Fuck you," Reed rumbles, and I shut the freezer door. I'm wearing one of Opal's sheer nightgowns, showing off my hard cock to the world.
Reed is just as hard. But unlike me, he is fully dressed in his khakis.
The punk only brought it upon himself.
I bet her scent clings all over me…
"Well, you got anything to say?" I ask, holding the tub of ice cream.
Reed just shows me his fangs. They look extra sharp this glorious night. "No."
Just then, he tenses, and I watch him curiously. "And what the hell is with you?"
One of Opal's beautiful moans echoes through the house, and it appears Levi has given her his knot.
A quick look through the bond via Zayden's end confirms my theory, yet how the hell would Reed know that?
Zayden closed off his bond to Reed. He isn't talking to the Alpha at the moment.
Still, when Opal cries out yet again, he shuts his eyes, and then he fucking orgasms right in front of me.
His cock goes down, and I place the ice cream on the sideboard. "Reed…"
He's still coming to, as he gazes at me with hazy eyes, panting for breath. "I… I can't stop it…"
I have no idea what comes over me next. I yank up the spoon, holding it to his neck. Then I pull back his hair, and he doesn't even fight me.
"I swear, Reed, if you don't explain right now… then I will stab you with this… this spoon …"
Yeah, a fucking spoon isn't going to do much damage to the Alpha, but I grabbed the nearest thing I could find.
Reed glares at me. "I can see in her head. It wasn't supposed to happ—"
Fuck the spoon. It was just for theatrics, anyway.
Now, I punch the Alpha right in the jawbone, and his blood splatters my face. He growls, but I throw a left hook at him this time, and he flies off the chair.
He just accepts my punches and kicks as my foot digs into his ribs, growling and snapping my teeth as I go.
"You fucking cunt! Get out of her head. Now! You had no right!"
Reed holds up his hands, protecting his face. "It was an accident! I swear."
I get down on my knees and yank him up by the hair again. "It better be, Reed, or so help me…"
"Just leave me alone. I didn't ask for this."
It seems he is telling the truth, and I have heard theories about Acutes. Sometimes, they can develop a psychic bond with their intended mate, and the thought crushes my spirit.
Opal is his mate…
Fuck that. Fuck him.
He doesn't deserve her, and with one last kick to the balls, I leave him gasping and bleeding on the floor as I head back to the nest.
I'm freaking livid.
This whole time, with every orgasm, Reed was there on the other end of her bond, jerking off to us.
The fucking pervert.
He is dead to me.
Bastard.
