Chapter 21 - Torsten #3
The depth of the connection staggered me — not just the physical, but the tapestry of emotions from six other souls bonded to me in multiple ways.
After years of loneliness, I hadn’t prepared for how it would feel to have my solitary existence shattered so completely, replaced by this sacred constellation of connection.
My wolf, always so steady, trembled with the recognition that we would never be alone again.
But we had only just begun — I had claims of my own to make, and the others were hungry for their own climaxes.
Smiling up at me, Freya gave me a nod that she knew what I was thinking as I disentangled from her and settled beside Gage on the bed.
“That’s it, Heath,” Flint encouraged. “Show our alpha how much you need him.”
Heath popped his lips off Gage long enough to say, “And he still tastes like Freya.”
Freya chuckled as I leaned down to capture Gage’s lips in a deep kiss, tasting his surprise and arousal. Through our private connection, I felt his vulnerability.
“Thank you for trusting me,” Gage said. “I never expected to have so many amazing mates,” he admitted silently as we kissed.
“We have years for the bonds to deepen and grow,” I reassured them all through the link as Gage possessively sucked on my lower lip. “This is proof we’re committed to growing together. Now… do you trust me?” I asked Gage, pulling him up into a seated position at the edge of the bed.
“Always,” he answered easily, but I sensed his hesitation. So much about this was new to him.
The stars had brought me to this pack for a reason. Freya would become our astral, and I needed Gage to be prepared for our pack’s evolution.
I broke the kiss, staring deeply into his eyes for a moment. Still kneeling on the floor, Heath paused his movements, keeping Gage in his mouth but waiting to see what we would do next.
“You are a brave alpha,” I told Gage.
He was so different from so many alphas who’d treated me cruelly or indifferently over the years.
Gage had created a pack of alphas, then accepted Freya into it and watched her ascend to astral status.
He’d bitten Zak, another hybrid, and welcomed me as well, another Odinswolf who didn’t have to obey him.
I glanced down to Heath, who winked at me, his lips stretched around our pack alpha’s cock.
“Ready,” Heath privately told me, already braced for the orgasmic results of me biting Gage.
With my hand on Gage’s shoulder, I circled behind him on the bed and let my wolf rise. As Gage and Heath gazed at one another, I bit Gage exactly where he’d bitten me.
My fangs sank into the warm skin at his nape — the most dominant claim one wolf could make on another. For a heartbeat, Gage’s muscles locked under my grip, instinctive resistance flaring, followed by his surprised surrender. I couldn’t wait to explore that more someday.
The mate bond between us cracked wide open, the one-way connection shattering and reforming as something equal and blazing.
The new, mutual bond hit like a shockwave, slamming down my spine and into my cock. A raw, involuntary groan tore from my throat as my body nearly gave into a hands-free release. The effect on Gage was even stronger thanks to Heath’s bobbing head.
With a grunt of surprise, Gage came hard down Heath’s throat, his release making Heath’s arousal spike through the bond and ricochet back into me. For a dizzy instant, the three of us were locked in a loop of shared pleasure.
Gage’s climax wasn’t just physical release, either.
Through our newly mutual bond, flashes of his past slammed into me — his father’s harsh words about what made an alpha strong, the demand that a pack alpha never show weakness, the pain of hiding his feelings for Heath, the fear that love meant failure.
Underneath it all, relief poured through him, raw and overwhelming.
“Thank you,” I whispered against Gage’s skin as I licked the wound clean, “for trusting me enough to let me in. My brave alpha, finally free.”
Heath swallowed everything Gage had to give, then wiped his mouth on his forearm and rose to face me. His intentions through the Bonded link were clear — he wanted me to claim him next.
“My ravens showed me the moment you were shot,” I told him, my voice thick with emotion. “The terror of losing you before we’d even claimed each other…”
Echoing my remembered fear, the others gathered around Heath, hands gently touching him to reassure us all that he was really okay.
Freya reached him first, echoing my sentiment by saying, “I can’t ever lose you again, Heath.”
He bowed his head and kissed her softly. “Never. Not if I can help it.”
“When we heard that gunshot,” Flint said softly, “when we saw you go down…”
“Don’t you ever turn your back on an enemy again,” Gage growled, his voice rough with remembered fear. “No matter how powerless he seems.”
“I know,” Heath sighed theatrically. “That was stupid of me.”
Zak traced the still-visible scar on Heath’s side. “You’re important to all of us, Heath.”
Heath grabbed the beta and kissed him hard.
Then he glanced at me. “I’m ready to feel your fangs, big guy.”
I studied his caramel eyes. “Do you want to fuck me as I bite you?”
After all, Zak had already prepped me.
Heath hesitated, vulnerability flickering across his features before he answered. “I’m game for however you want to claim me.”
The Bonded link revealed his disappointment, however. I could tell he was hiding his heart’s true desire.
“Everyone expects an alpha to top, don’t they?” I realized.
A tiny exhalation escaped Heath, who didn’t bother to answer such an obvious question.
So, I raised an eyebrow. “If you’d like… I could fuck you.”
“Fuck yes. I want to feel all of you.”
His arousal spiked instantly through the bond, his eyes widening with want. The others returned to the bed, giving us space to have our moment. Freya curled up next to Rowan.
“Let me take care of you,” I answered Heath.
Heath looked to Gage, silently questioning. Meanwhile, Rowan spooned Freya from behind, one hand cupping her breast, thumb lazily teasing her nipple as his other hand teased her clit in slow circles.
“Lie back,” Gage commanded Heath while grabbing the lube.
The moment he obeyed, Gage’s lubed fingers breached his hole, making Heath gasp in pleasure, their eyes meeting with mutual trust and affection. The way Heath easily relaxed at the intrusion told me this certainly wasn’t new for him.
Gage soon added a third finger, and Heath groaned as his eyes now met mine. “Yes, get me ready for Torsten’s big cock.”
My cock throbbed at his words, as though preening under the praise.
“Now let him make you feel good,” Gage told Heath as he withdrew his fingers. “You deserve it.”
As I positioned myself above Heath, I felt his nervous excitement through the bond. At the same time, Rowan lined himself up behind Freya from their spooning position.
“You’re going to love his big cock as much as I did,” Freya encouraged with a wicked grin.
Her hips rolled as Rowan slowly penetrated her from behind, and the sight made me long to be just as deeply buried in Heath’s ass.
“That’s it, Heath,” Gage murmured as I restrained myself, entering him slowly. “Relax and let him in.”
Zak used a quick cleaning spell on Gage so he could touch Freya while Rowan ground his hips against hers, his cock at home within her.
With hungry eyes, Flint watched me as he began stroking himself. My wolf preened, knowing he was keeping himself ready for his turn with my fangs.
“Fuck, you’re bigger than I thought,” Heath gasped beneath me.
“Breathe through it, love.” Zak chuckled, moving to take Heath’s cock in his mouth. “Here, let me help.”
Zak’s skilled mouth worked his length, and Heath slowly relaxed, letting me in. I entered him reverently, overwhelmed by this alpha’s trust.
I carefully eased out and then back in a few times before setting a slow but steady rhythm, noting how Heath’s eyes rolled back every time I pegged his prostate. After one particularly satisfying thrust, my wolf pushed to the forefront.
Bite now!
Without hesitation or warning, I leaned over Zak to bite Heath’s left pectoral, marking him as mine. He let out a roar as the dual stimulation sent him over the edge.
“Fuck!” Heath yelled inside my mind, making me smirk as I released him.
His ass clamped down on me, and I lost all control. My release flooded him as his flooded Zak’s mouth, and the hybrid greedily drank him down. Rowan and Freya fell over the edge with us, both of them crying out together.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Flint’s hand grab the base of his own cock, as though struggling not to come with us, without any extra stimulation. The thought alone pulled a few extra spurts from me, and I gasped.
I palmed the back of Heath’s head, pulling him in for a kiss before whispering against his lips, “My daring mate.”
As I lifted my head, Freya was there to claim my lips, kissing me hard.
Every half-wild fantasy I’d spilled across my chest in that distant, lonely cabin paled in comparison to this.
And our time together was only just beginning.
After all, I still had three more mates to claim.
