CHAPTER FORTY-THREE

Five Years Later

Now Playing: Hands On- Austin Giorgio

My feet sink into the warm, pebbled sand as I walk along the shore. Omen’s hand is wrapped in mine as she watches the water lap beside us. A beachside vacation is exactly what my pack needed after finishing our third world tour.

After that fateful tour with Omen five years ago, we released a new album that skyrocketed us to the top of rock and metal music charts everywhere. Our fanbase doubled almost overnight. It’s been a wild ride, one we are all grateful to enjoy together. I think we’re ready for a longer break though. To settle down with our girl for a few years. Maybe start a family of our own.

“What are you thinking about so hard this early?” Omen’s sweet voice interrupts my thoughts. I smile down at her, getting lost in her stunning sea green orbs. Who needs to look at out across the water when I can see an entire ocean in her eyes?

“The future.”

A small smile stretches across her lips and she squeezes my hand. A pulse of excited nervousness spikes in our bond, so I pull her into my side, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. I doubt I’ll ever get over the peace that settles in my soul when my girl is pressed against me.

Tingling energy skitters across my forearm. I watch as a message appears on both of our arms from Nebula, letting us know breakfast is ready. We’d ventured out to enjoy the sunrise while our other mates slept in.

Omen laughs when Nexus drops a message through a connection too, pouting about waking up without our girl beside him. She pulls me along behind her as she cuts across the shore to the cozy bungalow we rented. There is a lightness in her now. A peace she’s found with her omega that wasn’t there when we first met. Being free from her anti-designation cult family has brought her to life. I couldn’t love her more. She’s perfect for me. For all of us. Our Fate matched mate.

“I love you too,” she giggles as she stops outside of the open door. I lean down to meet her when she pushes to her tiptoes. The soft feel of her lips pressing to mine pulls a sigh from my chest. Her tongue darts out to swipe along the seam and we both groan. I pull her closer, pressing her body flush against mine so she can feel exactly what she does to me.

Nebula clears his throat beside us. Opening my eyes, I glance to the left and see him leaning against the door frame, one eyebrow raised. His bond is filled with arousal though, betraying his strict expression for the lie we all know it is. “Food first.”

“Yes, Alpha,” Omen teases as she slips past him, trailing her fingers along the bare skin above his shorts. He growls out a warning, cracking his palm against her ass and making her yelp.

“Mmmm, that’s what I want to hear,” Nexus says with a smirk. He’s sprawled in one of the wicker chairs in the living room in nothing but a pair of hot pink lacy boxers. To no ones surprise, he’s already hard beneath the material. Our beachside vacation was his idea, and we all know he only chose to rent a private beach so we can revel in debauchery for the next week.

“Good morning, starlight,” Callisto greets from the small kitchen island where Nebula has an array of light breakfast foods prepared for us. Omen skips over to our beta, wrapping herself beneath his arm and stealing a piece of bacon from his plate. He simply smiles at her, his arm soothing up and down her back above her deep red sun dress.

We chat lightly as we eat, enjoying the peace our temporary sanctuary provides. It’s a nice break after weeks of screaming fans and loud concerts. There’s no rush here, no timeline we have to meet.

“What do you want to do today, gorgeous?” Nexus asks, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Our girl may be insatiable during her heats, but Nex is horny damn near 24/7. Something that has ramped up over the past month. I frown, slipping my phone from my pocket and double checking when our girl’s next heat is supposed to be. An unexpected side effect of their reversed rejection we discovered is Nexus’ ability to subconsciously tune into her emotions. In the weeks leading up to her heat he gets even wilder than usual as her rising hormones influence him.

She’s not due for another heat until next month, though. We made sure to schedule all of our tour breaks around the dates for her heats. No one wants to have to cancel shows or risk being on the road with an sex crazed omega. That’s far too dangerous for her, us, and our fans.

“Snorkeling?”

Nexus’ lip pushes into a pout at her suggestion, but he quickly agrees. We’re all quick to jump to do anything she wants. Not a day hasn’t gone by where we’ve forgotten how broken our omega once was because of us. We devote our lives to making sure she never has to suffer that way again. She’s our goddess and we’re acolytes unworthy of her adoration.

Settled in a beach chair, I watch as Omen and my other mates swim in the water. I’ll join them later. For now I want to enjoy the sun beating down on me, warming my skin. A gentle breeze keeps the temperature just shy of sweltering. It’s wonderful.

I’m awoken from my sunny nap when one of our phones rings. We’ve kept them on hand in case any of our friends or family back home need us. Slipping to the edge of my lounger, I dig through our beach bag to see who is calling. My eyebrows nearly hit my hairline when it’s Nebula’s phone I pull out. On the screen a dated picture of his parents flashes as they call him. We haven’t heard from the Graves family since we were just starting our senior year at the Alpha Academy over a decade ago.

“Neb!’ I shout, waving the device in the air as soon as I have his attention. Omen must sense my apprehension as I approach the water, because she surfaces from her snorkeling and starts to swim back to shore. I don’t know why they are calling, but having our mate at his side may will help Nebula through this call regardless of the reason.

“What’s up?”

“Your parents called.”

“My- What?” He dries his hands on the towel I snagged on my way down before he takes his phone. A sharp breath hisses from his lips when he sees the missed call, his features tightening. Omen wraps an arm around his waist, her eyes finding mine when she feels how stiffly he is standing.

“Are you going to call them back?” I ask. “You don’t have to. They made their choice.”

Omen studies Nebula with a worried look. She’s as nervous as the rest of us. It’s entirely possible contact with his parents could make Nebula spiral again. Something that hasn’t happened for a few years.

“I don’t know…” He trails off, still staring at his now darkened screen.

“Whatever they have to say, it doesn’t change anything,” Omen tells him gently. She slips beneath his arm to plaster herself to his front, forcing him to look at her instead of the phone. I guess she caught on to who we’re talking about. “If they want a place in your life they have to earn it.”

“Just like we did.” He offers her a sad smile, his arms tightening around her. “Have I told you how sorry I am today?”

Omen huffs a laugh, burying her face against his chest. “You really don’t have to keep apologizing. I forgave you years ago.”

“Our choices nearly killed you. We’ll still be apologizing for our actions when we’re old and gray.”

“He’s right, firefly. We owe you a lifetime of groveling,” I add as I press myself to her back, sandwiching her between us. She shudders at the feel of both our bodies wrapped around her. I meet Nebula’s eye over her head, nodding to his phone before glancing back to our omega.

“I’ll decide later. They took this long to reach out, so they can handle a day or two before I call them back. I would much rather take you back up to the house and stuff this pretty throat with my cock while Tee knots your greedy little cunt.” He hands me his phone, which I slip into my pocket while he kisses our girl senseless. Her hands wrap around the back of his neck, her hips grinding against his.

Yeah, good call Neb. Our girl is ready for the debauchery to begin.

Nexus crashes against Nebula’s back with a whoop, nearly sending us all crashing to the sand. “Our omega is ready for an orgy!! Let’s get this naked party started!” Omen laughs against Nebula’s jaw, but the desire burning in her stunning green eyes nearly steals my breath away. Yeah, our girl is ready to get knotted. And Nexus is too.

I sweep Omen into my arms and jog up the beach to the path leading to our rental. I’m careful not to fall as my feet move over the shifting sand. One of her arms wraps around my neck, her head resting on my shoulder. Soft licks and nips at my neck have a fire burning inside of me. My dick is so hard I’m surprised it hasn’t punched its way out of my swim trunks.

Nexus runs past us, opening the glass doors into the large bedroom we’ve claimed. I slip around him and toss Omen onto the mattress, smiling when she splutters out a laugh and crawls off the opposite side.

“Hold on! We need to shower off all this sand and ocean water first. No one will be knotting me with sand in hidden places!” We grunt but follow her back out into the large outdoor shower area. Nebula turns her to face me as he slowly unties the strings of her bikini, letting the material fall to the floor. I push my shorts down and wrap my fist around my length, dragging it through my hand as he does the same to her bottoms.

“So Fates damned beautiful,” I groan. My eyes roam over her body hungrily. Traveling from the silvery scars of our bites to her growing collection of tattoos. Round breasts with rosy nipples, peaked and ready for our attention. The sweetest moan slips from her lips when Nexus’ hand wrap around Nebula’s body to squeeze those delicious globes, fingers pinching her nipples.

“Wash,” she groans. Her voice shakes with the lust raging through her body, and it’s easy to tell she’s close to giving in. None of us want to risk sandy knots so we quickly rinse our bodies and hair, taking turns to soap her luscious curves while the others wash off.

“Ready, babygirl?” Nebula asks, scooping her into his arms and carrying her back inside.

“Fuck yeah! It’s time to get knotty!” Nexus fist pumps the air before diving onto the bed beside her. He takes her lips in a messy kiss that is all tongue. His hand trails down her stomach, two fingers sinking inside of her core. Cal’s hands spread her wide so we can watch as our alpha mate fingers her. Slick glistens on her thighs, leaking down to her biteable ass.

Nebula kneels by her head, his cock tapping against her cheek as he smirks down at her. “Get me nice and wet so I can fill our bratty mate’s ass.”

Nexus and Omen groan in sync, their kiss turning so they can lap at Nebula’s tip. I turn my attention back to her sweet pussy, leaning in beside Callisto to lap at her honey sweet slick. He teases her clit, circling it with light pressure while I press my fingers in alongside Nexus, stretching her.

Watching her writhe between the four of us is one of my favorite things to do. She’s gorgeous when she’s sweat soaked and desperate for our knots. Slipping my fingers out, I gather her slick and drop them down to tease her ass. While I stuff her pussy, Cal can fill her ass, making sure she is nice and full when I finally knot her.

Nebula pulls back with a curse, his cum dripping down Omen’s chin. Her tongue darts out, gathering it all back up and swallowing it down. Yeah, she fuckin’ loves the taste of us. Our little cum addict.

I grip her arms, lifting her enough Callisto can slip beneath her. He whispers in her ear, speaking sweetly while I grip his cock and help him inch inside of her. They’re both panting by the time he’s bottomed out, fingers straining against each other where they are entwined in the sheets beneath us. Grinning I line myself up and start to push into her too. Wetness makes the glide easy but she’s so fucking tight my eyes roll back into my skull. Fucking glorious heaven.

“Brat, on your knees,” Nebula grunts beside us, pushing Nexus to fall face first beside Callisto. They share a sloppy kiss while Nebula works himself into Nexus’ ass. He meets my eyes when he bottoms out, a dark spark in his eyes as he nods. Pulling all the way out, we slam back in at the same time making both our mates whimper from the force. One thrust turns to two and then it’s a race to see who can last longer before slipping their knot inside and coming.

“Fucking hell, Tee, you feel so good,” Omen moans as I rock her between my and Cal’s bodies. His hands are on her breasts, squeezing and teasing her. Working her into a frenzy. Pressing my thumb against her clit I help him build her to that peak, ready to watch her fall over it again and again before I give her my knot.

“Please,” Nexus whines beside us. “Knot me already!”

Nebula chuckles, his palm slapping against Nexus’ bubbly ass as a reprimand for making demands. Not that Nex cares. He enjoys being punished as much as being knotted, so this is a win-win for him.

Callisto tenses below us, shouting out his release as my rough thrusts push him over the edge. Omen chooses that moment to flood all of our bonds with her own release, heightening our already crazed pleasure. My fingers dig into her hips hard enough I’m sure they will leave bruises as I rut against her, trying to fight back the orgasm pounding down my spine.

The edge of my knot catches on her entrance and I’m done for. It slips inside of her, expanding and locking us together. Stars dot my vision as I come undone, flooding her sweet cunt with my cum. When I can think straight I peek my eyes open and see Nebula is also knotted deep in Nexus’ ass, both men collapsed to the bed with euphoric smiles on their faces.

I carefully turn Omen to her side, letting Cal’s cock slip from her ass so I don’t crush them both with my weight. He curls around her back, rubbing her back and side soothingly as she comes down from the pleasure our release brought her.

“Mmmmm, this is perfect,” she whispers against my chest. “My mates, the ocean, and an entire lifetime to enjoy together.”

“It’s everything we ever could have dreamed of, darlin’, and so much more.”

“I love you all, endlessly for eternity.” Her breathing evens out as her words slip into the room, filling our hearts and reminding each of us how lucky we are. A lot of mistakes were made along the way, but we’re spending every day making up for them. Omen is ours. Our mate, our love, and we plan to devote our lives to making sure she knows it.
