Chapter 32

Thirty-Two

LACY

S tabbing pain gripped my belly as I huddled in the corner, grabbing Adrian's arm for balance as Lucas drove crazily down the road.

I didn't want a baby. I had everything I wanted in my life right now.

"No," I gasped out. "I can't have a baby right now."

"Lacy, I love you," said Ryder while he winced in pain. He watched me with one eye open as he lay limply in his spot. Cooper still held the rag to his shoulder. "I don't want to see you in pain."

"I know, but…," I said, knowing they weren't bad alphas. "I have everything all set up perfectly in my life right now."

"We all feel like that sometimes," said Adrian, gently touching my knee. I was still wearing the dress that Ethan helped me put on, and there was no way I was taking it off. "Didn't you ever see yourself being with a pack one day?"

"I mean, I have," I said. "But we need to take care of Ethan and Ryder first. They're about to die."

"Knot her, Adrian," said Ryder, who completely passed out by now, laying on the floor of the van.

"Oh no," I moaned, crawling to Ryder. He had risked his life for me. I touched the stubble of beard on his jaw. "Ryder, please stay with us."

Cooper pressed a hand to his chest. "He's still alive. He passed out, but the elements of his alpha blood will help him through this."

"It's two hours to the nearest hospital," said Lucas, speeding across empty streets and roads.

We were still so far away from civilization. Ethan was in bad shape, with one leg out and wrapped in white t-shirts, but he hadn't gone unconscious yet. Worry pooled in my soul while the pain from my heat kept me hunched over. Tears streamed down my face. It was impossible to think I'd last through my heat until I got home.

Cooper grasped my hand, forcing me to look at him.

"Lacy," he said. "Why won't you let us help you? I will stand by your side no matter what happens. I will help you raise the child."

I shook my head frantically, more tears falling to the floor.

"I do want to trust you," I said, crying, pulling his hand to my heart. "I want to trust you all so bad, but what if you hurt me in the end? What if you decide you don't want me anymore?"

Adrian was immediately at my other side, rubbing my back.

"We're not like your ex," said Adrian. "Like the psychopath that you fell in love with."

"If I ever lost you, I would hunt for you to the ends of the earth," said Cooper, locking eyes with me. He looked at me with such intensity that it made my heart pause. My pussy pulsed and quivered with need. I don't know if it was because he played music like myself, but he had that personality that I leaned into. His calm, quiet demeanor helped me stay calm. "Let Adrian knot you. I can't knot you since I'm a delta. I'll take care of Ryder and make sure he doesn't die in the middle of the trip."

It was true. The pack had enough to be worried about right now.

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Adrian, and he wiped my tears with his thumb. His light touch sent desire rippling through me. A want for him to be deep inside me took over any other thought as he kissed me.

While we kissed, he carried me back into my corner. I touched his curly black hair, pushing it away from his eyes. He slowly lifted the edge of my dress, revealing my clenched thighs.

The pain was getting more intolerable by the minute.

I allowed Adrian to part my legs. Adrian rubbed my thighs, slowly pushing them apart further as I lay on my back.

"I'm sorry, it's the pain," I whispered.

"It's okay beautiful," he said, gazing at my heated slit. "All the pain will go away very soon, okay baby?"

"Okay," I said, watching as he unbuckled his belt and shed his pants. My heart hammered in my chest as he settled between my legs, his cock angry and hard. "Oh, you're big Adrian."

"Do you think you can take this big cock inside of you?" he asked, rubbing the tip against my slick pussy.

Oh god, I wanted him so deep inside until it hurt.

"Yes," I cried out when I felt him tease my pussy lips open with his cock. He penetrated me, and I gasped at how it stretched me. It felt so deliciously good, and now I started to believe it when omegas claimed how much they needed knots during their heats.

" Fuck yes ," groaned Adrian as he slid all the way inside due to my slick. "Such a tight beautiful pussy."

I gripped his arms as he thrust into me.

"Yes, harder," I begged.

Then he savagely thrust into me, and I screamed with pleasure as his cock stretched me out. His thick cock pulsed angrily inside me while he pulled back and thrust back in. Every thrust felt like he was nailing his penis inside me.

"You're mine, Lacy," he said, eyes dark with rut and lust. "Your pussy belongs to this pack only. Got it?"

I nodded in response.

"Answer me, baby," he said, pounding into me while the van shook over the dirt roads.

"Yes," I gasped when he pushed in extra hard so I could understand.

"Yes, what?"

"My pussy belongs to you and the pack," I shuddered as I clenched around his cock. The pain in my belly subsided with my orgasm, and my pussy clenched more furiously around him.

"Fuck," he rasped out as he climaxed, spilling hot spurts of semen inside of me. My pussy throbbed and clenched with aftershocks. And when his dick finally swelled within me, the pain slowly receded. My body was now satisfied and complete with his knot. He leaned down, kissing me on the lips.

"I feel better now," I said as we held each other. I was happy it was Adrian who knotted me since we already had so much chemistry and flirted constantly before this horrible kidnapping.

"I told you, baby," said Adrian, pushing back my sweat-strewn hair away from my face.

My dress was hitched up, showing our connected privates as he lay beside me. I could feel his knot pulsing inside me as he continued to release more semen. I wiggled my hips, but the knot was in me tight, swelling at the base of his penis.

"I'm worried about Ryder and Ethan," I said, looking over at them as Cooper went back and forth between them, pouring water onto their faces and taking care of them while Adrian knotted me.

"They'll make it," said Adrian. "Just focus on your pleasure right now and my knot deep inside you."

"Okay," I sighed, rubbing his chest. "Thank you for knotting me."

"Don't ever thank me," said Adrian. "You are my priority and my only love. I'm glad no one else was able to breed you or mark you at that camp. The thought of that sickens me."

"You guys came just in time," I said. "I could've been trapped there and pregnant. Which is why I feel so upset we can't save Olivia."

"We were under gunfire," said Adrian. "Otherwise, things would've been different. Were you scared at the camp?"

I was surprised he cared how I felt during my time there.

"I was," I admitted. I couldn't forget the fear of Jordan coming into my room the second night, but the relief I felt when I saw Ryder instead was insurmountable. Nothing could replace the joy I felt last night. This pack brought me safety and happiness that I couldn't explain.
