Chapter 28

Ella

B rody hasn’t left my side from the moment I went into heat, and I never wanted it to be like this.

While he is all I need in this world, my body needs a knot. Now.

Or I will fucking implode.

“It’s okay, Ella… they’re almost here. Alastor got my text.”

I wince when another cramp takes over, and he hugs me close to his chest, hands touching me everywhere.

It helps, but there is this never-ending itch deep inside me that can never be quite sated.

He has fucked me, countless times, and roughly, too, and the guilt that took over when I realized that he wasn’t enough in that moment made me feel worse than my cramps.

But Brody wasn’t mad. Because he understood.

It happened to him, too.

When he went into heat, he completely blacked out. He only regained consciousness long enough when he realized I had gone.

And then, he spent the rest of his heat in a clinic alone, and a sob bursts from my lips when another cramp wracks through me.

“It’s okay, we’ve got this, Ella…”

I ruined Brody’s first heat.

And now here I am, in his pack’s house, writhing in need of his Alpha’s knots, and I should be ashamed of myself.

“It’s… not fair… you… you should have had them, too!”

Brody falls silent. Then he hugs me tighter, fingers reaching down to play with my clit, and now he fucks me with his fingers.

“And that was my choice. After you left, I couldn’t stand to be with them. But if they pull through now, then all can be forgiven. We can finally be a pack… The pack you deserve… We all deserve…”

Yet I shake my head, hearing none of it. “But, I’m an outsider.”

He kisses my cheek. “Ella, Kellen busted his ass for weeks to build you this nest and Alastor spent a week searching for you. Trust me, they are your Alphas now. They’re devoted.”

My lip wobbles and I squeeze my eyes. “But Theo…”

“Is just as crazy about you. I don’t have to be bonded to that Alpha to know what he is thinking whenever he looks at you. He can’t hide his emotions with those big black eyes.”

He's right. Theo does have big, expressive eyes.

Eyes big enough to suck you in.

I’m still convinced his eyes are a dimension to another universe.

I whimper. “That’s the thing. You’re not bonded to them. Because of… me…”

He growls, almost Alpha-like. “No, they’re the reason why I’m not bonded to them. They made their own choices, Ella, and they are still paying the price. Honestly, when they get here, I’m worried I may fight them. You’re mine, hear me? But… I also know the excruciating pain you’re going through. So, you need them, and their big, fat knots…”

He's right. I do need their big, fat knots.

Even Theo’s.

My Omegas wants all three Alphas.

Brody picks up his phone. “They’re on their way. They were only a few miles away in the mountains. So, just hold on, okay? You can do it.”

He kisses my temple, and I close my eyes, wincing through the pain.

It's only then that I become aware of two sets of eyes, and I look up, seeing Eggnog and Sweetpea watching me.

They cock their heads at the same time, and it’s one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

They shouldn’t see me like this.

“Brody… the children…”

They may not be human children, but they’re my children right now, and Brody’s.

Our son and daughter.

And they are far too young for what is about to transpire.

Brody chuckles. “I doubt they understand what is happening.”

Still, they keep watching me. Sweetpea whines and Eggnog’s fur bristles.

They know there is a threat somewhere.

They just don’t know that it is inside me.

“We can’t make them leave. They need constant supervision.”

He’s right. Just like real toddlers. Sweetpea chewed a power chord the other day, and Eggnog got his claws stuck in the curtains when he did a zoomie up the wall.

They can’t be left alone. At least until they grow in six months.

“Still, you’re in pain, Ella. We can just throw the sheets over you so they can’t see. Besides, I have that toy knot I’ve wanted to try…”

Brody finds the toy and now he tries to pleasure me. It's horrible and intrusive, and my pussy doesn’t even want it.

The Omega sighs, tossing it aside. “I get it. Doesn’t even come close to the real thing…”

He’s right. He’s so fucking right.

I can still feel Alastor’s knot inside me, and my Omega cries out for him again.

Not just for him, but for Kellen and Theo, too. Their scents are all over this house and she can smell them.

A car pulls up outside, and I cry out in relief. “Oh, thank God!”

“I hear you. While I wish I could keep you all to myself, I know they are what you need now, Ella.”

The Omega holds on to me for a few moments, and even when the door opens downstairs and I hear those thundering footsteps, he stays by my side.

It’s only when Alastor and Kellen burst into the room, gasping and covered in sweat and smelling of the woods that my Omega purrs, rearing her head.

They’re fresh from their trip and I can still smell the smoke of their campfire, and it’s doing dizzying things to my hindbrain.

The only one missing is Theo, but that’s not what my Omega can think about now.

She sees the two Alphas before her, and that’s when she reaches her hands out.

Both Alphas falter for a moment.

When I groan from the pain, Alastor comes back to his senses, pushing Kellen forward. “Well, seize your moment, Kellen. You were the one who built this nest after all.”

He was, and my Omega can’t wait to thank him.

Still, the Alpha looks at me nervously, turning to Alastor. “Yeah, but you were the one—”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, Kellen, just knot her already," Brody gripes.

He's carrying Sweetpea in his arms. Eggnog jumped up on the windowsill the moment those large Alphas stormed into the room, and he really is a skitty kitty.

Brody looks at me when he sees me staring. “I’m just going to take these two to a safe place. They do not need to see an Alpha in a rut…”

My heart pounds and this is happening.

“I just need to get Eggnog,” Brody sighs.

Alastor steps forward and the cat goes to him straight away because he knows and trusts him, and now Brody tosses me a sad look over his shoulder as he takes the children away.

He'll be back. But he’s just torn.

After all, I am his.

I will always be his.

Now it’s just me, Kellen, and Alastor.

Alastor pushes Kellen onto the bed and I crawl toward the Alpha, laying him down on his back as I unzip his pants.

He doesn’t even fight me as I set his cock free, marveling at his size,

Shit. He really is freckled all over, and I lick my lips, straddling his hips as I climb onto his cock and claim his knot.

Lights flash as I start to thrust, chasing that release.

Kellen is too afraid to touch me as he keeps his arms by his sides, but I grip his hands, placing them on my tits as I roll my hips back and forth.

I’m close.

Now I rake my claws down his chest, and he kicks up inside me, meeting my thrusts in no time, and there’s the beast.

Out of all the Alphas, I would have expected him to let loose the most, but right now, he is hesitant.

He must still think he doesn’t deserve me after he abandoned me at the venue, but I have forgiven him.

He built me this beautiful nest. And he also got me Sweetpea.

His hair is wild and untamed as it spills on the cushions around him, and I grip fistfuls of his red locks. Finally, he finds his stride.

It seems he likes it when I stroke his hair and fuck him at once.

He leans up, meeting my thrusts. Alastor leans back on the cushions, jerking off to the sight of me fucking his pack brother, and that’s when I throw my head back and release.

Heat flushes up and down my skin, numbing me in momentary bliss.

Kellen follows at my heels, and when I clench him tighter, he pushes his hips deeper inside me, emptying his cock, and that’s when his knot swells.

It bursts inside me, and I can no longer feel my fingers and toes.

Another orgasm rushes through me, and now my Omega can sleep easier at night.

The first wave ebbs and I finally come down from my high, meeting his eyes beneath me.

They’re blown out.

“Thank you,” I whisper, brushing his red hair and he purrs in response.

“You’re welcome, puppy.”

Puppy?

Alastor shakes his head behind me, cleaning himself up as he makes a mess on my sheets, and it seems Kellen found his pet name for me.

I’m sure I will grow to love it.

All right. I will be his puppy.
