Chapter 54
I vow
Legion raises his hands when Mordecai, Jarek, and Cadel charge him.
“Easy, I’m just checking the traps and heard the music. Thought I’d check. You want someone to witness and officiate your bonding ceremony. Let me do that for you.”
“Alphas,” I murmur. “It would be perfect. Secret.”
Jarek glances back at me and shrugs. “I like that.”
Legion comes and sits down with us. Mordecai shares his food with him. Legion doesn’t talk much, but he watches intently until, at last, it gets dark.
Jarek lights some candles he brought, but just as we stand up, the world erupts in fireflies. They glow in a rainbow of hues and dance in the air, turning the world into some fantasy landscape.
I inhale and exhale suddenly, nervous.
I strip out of my clothes, watching as the alphas do the same.
I walk towards them until we’re all standing two feet from each other. Legion stands at the fifth point, the only one with clothes on.
“Stripped to the flesh, naked under the gaze of our gods, you come to bind yourselves to each other in this life and all those that come after.”
I jerk my head away from my alphas, looking at Legion. He’s following the bonding ceremony that the ancients used. My mother told me about it many times.
“Which gods sanction your bonding?” Legion asks.
“The Alpha God of Fire sends us fiery passion,” Jarek says and reaches out, holding one hand in the middle of our circle.
“The Alpha God of Winter sends the strength of winter’s inescapable grip,” Cadel murmurs and extends his hand.
“The Alpha God of the Hunt sends the wisdom of the ancient forests,” Mordecai says.
They look at me.
“The Omega Goddess of the Moon sends her light so that we may always find each other.”
I don’t know why I said that. It just came out. Half of me panics, but then it eases, and it just feels right.
My body burns; it’s on fire. I’m cold, and a shadow creeps over me. It’s like a dream, but I reach out my hand and place it on theirs.
“The High Gods bless this union; may it last until the end of days. You share a soul, tethered together. Your hearts beat as one, your will forge a life together, and your love will never die. May you find each other in every world.”
Legion steps out of the circle and walks around us. We step in, closing the gap, reaching out with a free hand to the person on our right.
“A pack is a privilege; an omega is the heart. The alphas cannot find balance without her, and she can’t exist without them. Alphas, how will you show your love for your omega?”
“We vow to protect you, keeping you safe from all dangers,” Jarek whispers in a choked voice.
“As your alphas, we will cut down your enemies,” Mordecai promises.
“We will find you, no matter how long it takes,” Cadel says.
My whole body tingles as if static is running through it.
“Omega, how will you show your love?”
“I vow to love you all, to protect you, to never stop fighting for us, for our happiness. If you are lost, I will find you. If you are hurt, I will heal you. If you are alone, I’ll be beside you.”
Legion extinguishes the candles.
“May your love be the scent that leads you home. Congratulations,” he says in a strangled voice, and then he’s gone, abruptly turning and walking away, leaving us in the dark.
And it’s just us, the fireflies, and this world.
My scent has filled the air around us, teasing out, slick coats my inner thighs. They are hard. I don’t need candles to see it. I can feel their need for me almost as easily as I can feel my own.
Cadel’s hand runs up my spine and then back down to my ass. Jarek drops his hand and steps forward, grabbing my hips as he ducks his head to kiss me.
I moan into his mouth, but then he’s moving back, and Mordecai takes his spot, kissing me hard enough to have me whimpering. Their combined scents mix in a way that has me wanting to curl up and roll in it.
Mordecai shifts away, and I’m lost in Cadel. I cling to him, and when he pulls back, he’s framed by fireflies.
“I don’t really remember much of my heat,” I say and trail off. “I just, can we do it over?”
“No, your heat was an important moment for us,” Mordecai says, cupping my cheek. “But this can be another important night.”
“We’ll make it unforgettable for you,” Cadel whispers and leans down, kissing my collarbone.
Jarek runs his fingers through my hair. I shiver under his touch, but he continues and then plaits it and ties it up at the base of my skull. He leans in, breathing on my neck.
“You are so beautiful, Omega.”
He says it with so much hungry possession that my breathing stutters. Mordecai kisses my jaw, his hand slides up my throat, and he grips my chin and tilts my face to his.
“Look at me, Omega.” Our eyes meet, collide, and I can see him kiss me, a hundred times, a thousand. And his voice says over and over, like there are a million versions of him; “I am undone.”
My ears ring, and I whimper, clinging to him.
“Cai?”
His eyes widen, and then his tongue is in my mouth, his palm holding the back of my head still as he wrecks me.
I moan and break out in shivers when Cadel drops to his knees and kisses the inside of my thigh.
I throw my head back, whining. Mordecai kisses down my throat, nipping and licking.
“Is she wet, Cadel?” he asks.
“Dripping,” Cadel murmurs back and grabs my thighs, urging them apart. He buries his face in between my legs.
I grip his hair, but Mordecai’s hand covers mine and pulls my hand away and guides me to his cock.
“If you want to hold on to something, hold on to this.”
I glance between us, looking at the shine of his pre-cum in the almost nonexistent light. He’s thick, and as I run my hand down, I feel his veins and the soft skin that is wrapped around his steel cock.
“How can you feel so soft but be so hard?” I pant and lick my lips, whining as Cadel and Jarek both shove fingers into me, dragging me up on my tiptoes. Mordecai hisses, and I realise I’ve tightened my grip on him.
My alpha just cups my face and grins. “Too much? Do you need more?”
“No,” I whisper. “And yes, I need more.”
Cadel sucks on my clit, while Jarek adds another finger. I moan and stroke Mordecai’s cock mindlessly.
“Good answer. Now, tell me what you want. How does this fantasy night look to you?”
I shudder. “I.” My body shudders. I bite my bottom lip and let out another higher whine. “I want you all.”
“And you’re going to get that,” Mordecai purrs.
“No, I want you all at the same time.”
There's silence. I open my eyes and look down. Cadel’s sitting on his heels, watching me. Jarek just laughs, but Mordecai’s eyes blaze.
“You want us to fill all these pretty holes? At the same time?”
That shouldn’t be so arousing. “Yes. I want us all connected. And I need you all to take me. Make me forget.”
“Jarek,” Mordecai says.
“On it.”
Jarek pulls his fingers from my pussy and slides them up until he reaches my ass, and then he presses on that ring of muscle until it gives way, and his finger slides inside.
“She’s going to need a lot of stretching,” Jarek says, and I think he’s pleased about it.
“You got wetter, didn’t you?” Cadel whispers. “Do you like what Jarek’s doing? Shoving his fingers in your ass? Stretching you nice and wide so you can take his fat cock?”
“I like everything you do,” I say and sway. “I like that a lot, too.” I let out a thin whine when a finger curls inside me.
Cadel stands up and slides his hand up, grabbing my breast, stroking my nipple with his thumb.
My grip on Mordecai’s cock tightens, and he lets out a deep, guttural groan, and suddenly, I realise how much power I have. Cadel leans in, pressing his smiling lips to my face.
With my free hand, I reach down, wrapping my hand around Cadel’s length. He goes perfectly still before he thrusts up into my fist.
I slide my hand up and down, watching them struggle to maintain their control. All I can hear is our panting and Jarek’s murmured praises he whispers to my ass as he adds another finger and scissors me open.
“Omega,” Mordecai wheezes.
“It’s mine,” I snarl.
Cadel leans in and sucks hard on my throat. I arch, giving him more room.
“You can have it, Omega, you can have all of them.”
The possessive flare fades with their capitulation. By some unspoken agreement, the three move away from me. Cadel steps back and lies down on the grass.
I watch as he grips his cock and strokes it. Mordecai leans over him and kisses him hard before running his mouth over those delicious abs and taking his cock into his mouth.
“Oh, gods,” I whisper while watching them.
Cadel arches his back, reaching out to grab Mordecai’s head and hold him still while he thrusts up.
Jarek walks me forward until I’m standing over them. He’s got three fingers in my ass, and I’m almost incoherent. He curls those fingers, pulls them out and shoves them back in over and over, fucking me with them.
Slick runs down my legs, but Jarek just grabs my hair and yanks my head back.
“I think you’re ready,” Jarek purrs. “Sit on his cock, baby. You’re going to ride him. Or I can eat you out. I don’t mind.”
My mind turns white, noisy. “Yes,” I say, but I don’t know what I’m agreeing to, I think I want it all. “You get bossy when we’re doing this,” I stammer on the last word.
“Yeah, I do. Cai, move,” Jarek barks.
Mordecai sits back. Jarek pulls his fingers out of me, leaving me gasping, but I’m dragged down, and before I can even think, I’ve got eight inches of cock buried deep inside me.
Jarek hums and then pushes me flat against Cadel’s chest.
“My turn,” he murmurs, and then he’s pushing against that ring of muscle. After some hesitation, he’s suddenly in. One hard thrust, and he bottoms out. He groans and bites my shoulder hard.
“I knew you were going to feel perfect. So tight, wet. I can feel Cadel, too. Mmm, this is going to be a thing,” Jarek whispers, leaving slutty, open-mouth kisses across my shoulder as he thrusts in and out, grinding himself into me, while he pulls me down onto Cadel.
“Fuck,” he hisses. “I could die so happy, right now,” he grips my hips and gives two hard thrusts.
Cadel snarls, the tendon’s on his neck popping up as he clenches his teeth, his head rolling from side to side.
I cannot speak; I can’t talk. I’ve got two cocks inside me. I’m beyond full, and I can feel them throbbing and flexing. Every movement is amplified. When Jarek thrusts into me, I sob.
“I think I was wrong, too ambitious. I can’t do this.”
“Yes, you can,” Mordecai murmurs and kneels over Cadel’s head. “Come here and let’s fill up that last pretty little hole.”
I open my mouth, obeying my alpha, and he glides in, moaning. I run my tongue around his shaft, lapping up the delicious flavour of him.
“You feel so good,”
Cadel’s response to Mordecai’s words is a deep, feral growl.
Jarek slaps my ass, causing me to jolt and let out a shriek as an orgasm rips through me. All three of them freeze, and then Jarek and Cadel surge up at the same time as Mordecai grabs my head and drags me down on his cock.
I sob, licking and sucking, desperate to please him, them. But I’m so sensitive. I spread my legs wider and grab Mordecai’s cock with one hand, stroking his massive length.
“Oh, you are amazing, Omega, and you’re all ours,” Jarek snarls and bites me again.
I don’t know why I find it so hot, but every time he marks me, he erases the bits of my past and the memories of other alphas trying the same thing.
A beta marking me-
“Stop thinking,” Mordecai commands. “You have our bonds; you vowed to be ours. No one else can have you. They’d need an army bigger than the one they have to take you,” Mordecai hisses. “I will never let you go.”
The dark, feral sides of my alphas have risen to the surface. Cadel thrusts up, his growls are an almost constant stream. Jarek isn’t being gentle; he’s fucking me like he wants to crawl inside me, and Mordecai has my plaited hair in his fist and is directing my head on and off his cock.
“We have you now, Kaida Keres. No one else will have you. No one else but us,” Jarek snaps and lets loose a roar as he pushes harder, slamming into me. I let out a scream that is drowned around the cock in my mouth.
“You knotted her ass?” Mordecai asks with a moan. “Oh, gods, you’re all trying to kill me. That is so hot.”
“Mine!” Jarek snarls.
Cadel loses his mind, bucking up into me. And his knot pushes inside. I scream, my body shaking. I thought I was full before, but this is a whole new level. My body, which was still recovering from the orgasm, is thrust into another and another. They just keep coming.
I shake and tremble, but they hold me close, hold me safe.
I drag air in through my nose and out again, looking up at Mordecai as his hips speed up.
“I’m going to knot your mouth, Omega. Don’t panic.”
I nod, and when he thrusts harder, his knot swelling, I find my mouth stretched impossibly wide. There’s a moment of panic, but then it all goes away as his cum jets down my throat.
I float in white pleasure, lost in the feel of them and the feeling that this is right, the only right thing in my life. Mordecai pulls away too soon, and I mourn the loss of him. He lays down in the grass beside us, breathing hard.
Jarek is next, pulling out of me and sitting back on trembling legs.
Cadel just wraps his arms around me and holds me to him.
“Was that all right?” he asks.
“It was perfect,” I whisper. “The most perfect day ever.”
“Kaida, no matter what happens, you know that we belong to you, right?”
I turn a surprised look to Jarek. “Of course.”
“And you belong to us.”
I nod. “I know.”
“Don’t ask us to run. We won’t leave you now. It’s us together.”
Together. That word rings in my head. I see Jarek in tears, holding my face, saying it. An icy chill crawls down my spine.
We lay there in silence until it starts to get cold.
Mordecai gets me to stand still while he dresses me slowly.
Jarek drags his fingers through my hair, removing all the leaves and grass.
Cadel is the one who takes my hand, carefully leading me as we head back to camp.
I take one last look before we go, wondering if I will ever have a day as wonderful as this one has been. Somehow, I don’t think I will.
