Chapter 23

Twenty-Three

LYRA

L ater that night, we finally arrived at the stone tower.

The stars shone in the night sky as we walked towards the looming building. It was a quiet night, and barely any villagers were left on this side of the island. Most of them had left for better opportunities and a second chance. There were a few straggling merchants moving shop, packing everything up. Once in a while, I would get an occasional hug from one of them, thanking me for saving them. I honestly didn't feel like I saved anyone, since I mainly fought for my life in the cave of horrors.

The air smelled like rain, and thunder rumbled in the distance just as I was thinking it.

"It's about to rain," I said, looking up at the sky.

The rain started to come down on us, and I ran towards the front door.

"Shit," said Kodan, dropping the keys. My hair was starting to get drenched.

"You're so clumsy," I joked. I was in a good mood. I had just gotten out of the hospital, and I was finally going to get some relief tonight from this dreadful heat.

"There," he said, opening the door as we all piled inside the home.

Upon looking at the living room, I gasped. I saw a brand new white leather sectional and a TV in front of it.

"What happened here?" I asked, shocked.

Kodan wrapped his arm around me. "I wanted to surprise you. While looking for my brother, I had some spare time."

"No wonder you never found me," Seth mocked.

"Quit being a smart ass," retorted Kodan. "At least I wasn't murdering omegas in a cave."

"Ah, low blow there," said Seth, wincing.

"I want to get changed," I said, interrupting them before it became a blown-out fight.

When I reached the main bedroom, my eyes widened upon seeing the brand new alpha-sized bed with a wooden frame, and next to it was a circular-shaped cushion covered in pink sheets. Even though the nest looked haphazardly put together, I was still touched by the gesture. I sat in my little nest, sinking into the soft cushion.

"Do you like it?" asked Kodan, sneaking up behind me.

"That's all I ever wanted," I said, nearly in tears, hugging him around the waist. He touched my hair, his huge palm nearly covering half my head. "It'll do for now until we can move into a nicer home."

"What?" he asked, taken aback.

"I love everything," I said. "But it's too small to raise a family in. Like when we have babies."

"Did you say babies?" asked Kodan with a hitch to his breath.

"Yes," I breathed.

"I will look for a proper home immediately," he promised. "But for now, are you happy here?"

"I am," I said, standing on my tiptoes to kiss him. He pulled me in for an embrace, kissing me hard on the lips. My stomach clenched painfully, and I doubled over. The heat was progressing faster than I expected, expelling the lining of my womb. Slick covered my thighs, and I moaned in pain.

Kodan lifted me in his arms and gently settled me on the bed. Luke and Seth were already at my other side, touching my breasts, arms, and legs.

My vision was starting to get fuzzy as my womb clenched repeatedly. Only a knot could stop the painful clenching of the belly. If an omega waited too long without any medicine or help, she could die. There were even emergency centers where alphas were on-call to help an omega in heat.

"Take deep breaths," Luke instructed, cupping my right breast over my dress, his mouth on my ear. I didn't realize I was hyperventilating as I took a few deep breaths.

"It's so painful," I cried out when another spasm of pain flashed through my center.

Kodan

We had delayed knotting her for too long.

I regretted risking that, but I was going to make it right. I turned her on her side and unzipped her dress.

I pulled it down over her arms and down her body. Seth grabbed the end of it, throwing it on the floor.

She needed us urgently. I could see it on her face. Her eyebrows furrowed in pain, and her breaths came as fast gasps through her clenched lips. Her white underwear had a large wet stain on the seat of it. Gently, I pulled her underwear down over the heated skin of her thighs.

Seth held her thighs open for me as I quickly got to work, removing my belt and pants.

"Everything hurts," she sighed, her face pink and flustered. Her blond hair lay in curls around her face. "I need a knot. I need one of you right now."

"Don't worry," Seth tried to comfort her. "Kodan is going to knot you first. We will take care of you, Lyra."

I ripped my shirt off, impatient to give her some relief. It was all my fucking fault for delaying, and she was in a lot of pain. I knelt between her thick, creamy thighs, noticing she had put on a little weight while I was gone.

She looked so delicious.

It was probably the little cakes she loved to indulge in at the palace. That little fact endeared her to me even more as I gently squeezed her thighs.

Spreading her apart wider with my knees, I noticed her patch of blond hair covering her pussy. Running my fingers through it, I felt the slick that coated her little hairs.

Her pussy lips spread alluringly open for me, inviting me.

Rubbing my cock all over her entrance, I soaked it in her slick before I could plunge it inside her waiting pussy. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, awaiting my entry as I rubbed my dick around her pussy and her swollen clit.

"I'm going inside you now, princess. Are you ready for me?"

"Yes, Kodan," she breathed, widening her legs. Her pink pussy was on display for all the men to see. Without wasting another second, I plunged inside her, and her lips rounded in surprise.

Stuffing my thick rod inside her tight pussy, I began to rock my hips against her, pushing my cock all the way in. The dimly lit room didn't hide my omega's facial expressions as she looked at me longingly, needing release. Her nails dug into my back as I thrust in and out of her.

Then I began to speed up. My balls couldn't take the tension anymore.

I fucked her senseless as I thrust wildly in and out, slamming into her pussy as my cock hardened with every thrust. I could feel the pre-cum drip from the end of my cock directly into her womb.

Moons , her pussy was so sweet and tight.

I roared my release, shooting semen inside her as my balls tensed. Her shouts joined mine as she orgasmed at the same time around my cock. Her pussy throbbed and clenched around my dick, milking me dry.

Collapsing next to her, I pulled her to me, hugging her tight as my cock knotted deep inside of her, locking her.

She opened her eyes and gave me a coy smile.

"What is it?" I growled.

"I like seeing you lose control," she said, staring at me with a new light in her cornflower blue eyes.

"You make me lose control," I replied, kissing her square on the lips as she snuggled into my knot and wrapped her leg around my waist. "Do you like my knot inside of you?"

"It feels so good," she said, pushing herself tighter against me to push it in deeper.

It felt amazing to lie with my wife again after being separated for so long. I absorbed her smell and her essence as she snuggled in over my knot.

Lyra

It wasn't long before I craved the next knot in line.

After Kodan's knot released me, I took a five-minute break to use the bathroom, and by the time I got back, my heat was intensifying again. I wasn't prepared for how intense these heats could be, but I heard it was different for every omega.

"How long do you think I'll be in heat?" I asked, snuggling between Luke and Seth. Kodan hopped into the shower, especially after spending time at the hospital.

"I would say a week," said Seth, rubbing my back as he spooned me.

In front of me was Luke, lying lazily on his back, his cock erect in his briefs.

"If you all weren't here, it would be horrible," I said, feeling the deep ache in my belly again. I grasped Luke's penis from outside his boxers, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I thought you needed a break," said Luke.

Seth's hands dipped lower, cupping my ass. "You have a beautiful body. Do you care if I play with your ass while Luke pounds into you?"

"I don't mind," I said, scared because I never had anything go inside my ass. I found the opening to Luke's boxers and slipped my hand inside, grasping his bare member.

Squeezing my fingers around it, I rubbed up and down as he groaned.

"You're going to make me cum before I even get inside you," he said, stopping my hand with his. He turned on his side and grasped my leg, lifting it over his waist. He rubbed his fingers against my pussy and lifted his drenched fingers to his nose, sniffing me. My face turned hot. "You're more than ready."

I was throbbing as he slowly pushed himself into me. Seth was squeezing and massaging my butt.

Luke's cock stretched me wide as the full length of it struggled to get inside. I was still a little sore from Kodan, but I stretched my leg higher, giving him more room. I was breathing hard by the time his entire cock was inside me.

I clenched tight around him as he began to thrust while lying next to me. Seth's hands began to spread around my butt, and I felt his face prying around down there. Then, his nose began to press against my hole.

"Seth, what are you doing?" I gasped.

"Don't worry about me," he said slowly as he explored my behind. I felt instantly self-conscious, clenching and trying to block him. But he continued to rub his nose directly between my ass cheeks.

Luke's thrusting soon overpowered what Seth was doing, grabbing my attention again. He turned my face to him, holding my gaze to him.

He wanted me to focus on him at this moment.

And I did.

I grasped onto his muscular arm from all his bodyguard training. His cock stretched every crevice of my pussy, opening me up for him. His arms flexed as he pulled in and out. His hips flexible and fluid like a panther.

"Oh, Luke," I gasped when he pistoned hard into my eager pussy. He growled as his eyes darkened with lust, and squirts of hot semen streamed inside me while his knot locked me in place. Seth released my bottom, and I was relieved he didn't do anything further to my ass.

"I love you," said Luke, kissing the bandage on my neck, and tears fell uncontrollably down my cheeks. He wrapped his arm around me, hugging me. "What's wrong, baby? Does your neck hurt?"

"I thought you felt forced…obligated to marry me," I said. He was silent for a moment.

"In the beginning, it felt a bit like that," he admitted. "But it wasn't long after that I realized I'd been denying my true feelings for you. Lyra, you are one of a kind."

He rubbed the tears from my eyes as I sniffled.

"I'll get a bath going for you," said Seth, and I nodded. While Seth went off to fill the bathtub, I cuddled with Luke until his knot would release me.

"Well, I'm glad you feel that way now," I said. "I love you too, Luke."

His eyes lit up, and we kissed. Making out on the bed after being knotted was the best feeling in the world for an omega. Or maybe it was just me. Something about it made me feel secure, loved, and protected.
