Gael
“See, here’s Gael, at the wheel!” Eli says happily in his camera voice as I register that the door opened behind me.
I snap out of my reverie, head spinning.
I frown at him, giving him a ‘get out of my studio’ look. I know he has emojis that pop over our faces, but I still am not in the mood to be on camera.
“They were just worried about everyone, Gael. Haven’t seen us in awhile,” he shrugs, looking apologetic.
I wave half-heartedly.
He quickly leaves, pulling the door shut behind him. I turn back to the wheel, but my mind isn’t there anymore.
I feel half-hearted. Our omega. She’s gone. She left. She just climbed in her car and drove away.
How could she do that? I could never leave my pack, it makes no sense.
We’re all struggling with the loss of her.
Eli has been skulking around in his wolf form pretty much constantly.
Jules has been pretty much locked in his room, muffled techno escaping.
Maddox has been in the gym, or at work, or fucking one of us within an inch of our lives.
Corbin’s… well, Corbin is Corbin. I’ve been trying to keep shit together, making sure everyone eats regularly and whatnot.
I stand and stretch. I debate heading to my room for a quick wank. I’ve been so incredibly horny since Adira’s heat.
Taking off my apron, I decide instead to go find Julian. I wash up quickly and head upstairs. His door is second, after Corbin’s. The bass from his music is almost shaking the floor, so I don’t bother knocking, knowing he won’t hear it.
Oh shit.
“Sorry!” I blurt, eyes taking in his long, slender, nude body as he lays on the bed.
He yelps, throwing a blanket over himself.
We all have sex, obviously, but he was having ‘alone time’ and no one really wants that disturbed, partner or not. But something caught my eye.
“Wait…” I cross the room, grinning as I tug off my shirt. “Is that…” I climb on his bed.
“Gael…” Jules’ tone is warning.
“A toy?” I ask, eyebrows raised as I grab the covers. “Are you using a pocket pussy?”
“Fuck off,” he mutters.
“No, no, no,” I grin harder, “I’m gonna fuck you.
” I pull the covers down, and sure enough, around his cock is a toy that he’s gripping.
I straddle him. He reaches up and grabs my neck with his other hand, pulling me to him and kissing me forcefully.
He moans, hips rocking a little, and we break apart.
I study his hazel eyes. “Were you… thinking about her?”
He nods, silently, and I bite my lip.
It hurts. The loss of our omega.
“Sorry,” I whisper. “I can leave…”
His grip on my neck tightens. “No. Grab the lube and fuck our omega with me, Gael,” he murmurs.
My cock twitches as I nod. I lean and grab the lube, quickly pulling my cock out of my pants and slathering it.
“Use a lot,” Jules says, “She’s so fucking tight.”
“Fuck,” I groan, seeing my plush curly-haired omega in my mind. “Think she can take us both?”
“Yeah, she’s got to learn to,” Jules mumbles, moving the toy on his cock.
I groan again and work a finger into the base. “Pull out a bit while I stretch her.” I work the toy over my tip, my cockhead pressed firmly to Julian’s.
“Go slow, Gael, we don’t want to hurt our precious girl.”
“Never,” I gasp, hips straining forward. Jules’ hand drops from my neck to worry a nipple. I moan. “Don’t do that, Jules,” I gasp. “I won’t last. I’ll just pump her little cunt three times and cum in her before she’s even gotten used to the stretch of us both.”
I reach down and squeeze our knots together as best I can with one hand.
“Fuck,” Julian gasps. “Give it to her. Whiny, needy little omega wants it.”
“Anything our girl wants, she gets,” I gasp as I start to thrust.
Julian’s hips are pumping too, and the slick slide of his cock against mine, gripped by the toy is too much for me, as I imagine Adira between us.
“I’m gonna cum,” I grit out.
“Me too, let’s fill her,” Jules groans.
I gasp out, “Take it, Adira. Take it and cum around your mates’ cocks.”
I lose control, my cock jerking and twitching even as Julian’s does too. My muscles tense even as my hips work, my dick still leaking. I close my eyes as I place both hands on the mattress on either side of Jules’ shoulders.
Our mess is all over his chest as we both slowly come back to ourselves.
I kiss him gently. “Thanks for letting me join,” I say softly. “I didn’t know how much I needed that.”
He nods and purses his lips. “Yeah.”
I frown. There’s something he’s not saying. “What is it?”
“I did something.” His gorgeous eyes slip away, towards his computers.
My eyebrows raise. “What? What did you do, Julian?”
He won’t meet my gaze, and now I’m really starting to worry.
Jules lets out a long sigh. “I… may or may not have dropped a couple trackers on Adira’s things.”
I blink.
“Oh, shite, that’s brilliant!” I blurt, yanking my cock out of the toy to his yelp. I cross to his computers. “Where is she?”
He’s laughing. “You’re not mad? And let me clean up, don’t touch those!”
“No, I’m not mad, have ya lost yer mind? I’m thrilled!”
It’s not much, but at least we’ll know a bit more about what she’s doing.
Jules comes over, toweling off his chest. “She’s been to a shifter doctor, thank fuck. Hopefully, she’s taking her meds. The tracker on her car shows nothing wild. Home, her spell shop, groceries. A trip to a nature preserve.
I make a worried sound as Jules pulls up a map. She could have been in contact with any number of shifters there.
Jules’ voice is dripping with guilt as he says, “Mads is gonna flip.”
“Aye,” I answer off-handedly, looking at the map with her paths traced. Her car tracker is blue, the one in her bag red, which mostly overlaps the blue, but shows some walking paths too. “What’s this purple line?” I ask, the key saying merely ‘ft’.
“Um… I sliced a pocket in the side of her running sneakers and slipped a micro tracker down it.”
“Brilliant!” I exclaim, studying the path. “Oh, shit, she probably has a boatload of shoes though, huh?” I deflate a little, imagining her putting on some sexy black boots and going to the pub.
“Yeah, I had that thought too,” Jules responds. “I wanted to tag her bra but the micro’s don’t hold up to water well.” He rubs his short hair nervously. “Maddox is not going to be impressed.”
I nod. “True.” That might be putting it lightly. “Let’s grab Elias and go to her shop tomorrow. Just to make sure she’s alright. No need to tell Maddox right now.”
I cringe though. Am I lying to myself? I don’t want to just make sure she’s alright. I want to convince her to return home with us.
My wolf growls. Put her cute ass in the car and bring her home, he demands.
Julian’s hand lands on my thigh. “Thanks, Gael,” he murmurs.
