Page 34 of Omega's Salvation

Mateo finally stops when River cuts him off, lowering one of his legs and then his head to show submission. The pack Alpha throws his head back, a terrifying howl tearing from his throat. River joins in, the twin sounds carrying through the trees. I sit and watch the two, mystified by the way Mother Nature seems to respond to the call. It feels like the earth floor is breathing, the tree leaves whistling, the winter chill alive with magic.

Slowly, I approach, each step bringing me into the magic swirling around them until I can’t help but respond with my own howl. My wolf bristles with energy as I sit and throw my head back, adding to the call of our wolves. The brisk chill runs through my coat as I feel my entire body give into Mother Nature, strength and confidence filling me. I can feel the end nearing us, Silas’ demise, and the beginning of a life that I may not be ready for but am eager to step into.

It feels like ages before the howl ends, Mateo and River coming up beside me, running their noses along my face and throat, spreading their scent along my coat.

They’re still petting me with their noses as I look down at my toes where the crimson color used to be. There’s an added stripe through my fur, a deep blue that sparkles in the dim light of the forest. The sapphire of Darius’ original pack and the silver of his coat wraps around my paws and licks up my legs. A calmness that is definitely not mine runs through me, strangling my emotions until I truly believe that everything will be okay.

I sigh as my wolf recedes, my Alphas following. Mateo moves to stand in front of me. “Goddess, you’re gorgeous.” Then he attacks my lips with a fervor that I constantly crave. With everything that has happened, it’s been hard to truly enjoy my mates and the growing bonds between us. River presses himself up against my back, his lips attaching to Mateo’s bite on my shoulder.

My back arches forward as I cling to Mateo, both of them trying to take me apart like it’s a competition.

> I breathe through the mindlink. I’ve never really used it when we are not shifted but it feels right. Even the breathiness of my plea carries through.

“Fuck, that’s going to be one heck of a thing to get used to, sweetie,” River drawls as he moves to the other side of my neck and begins tending to Asani’s bite. I can’t speak, Mateo still drowning me with his passionate kiss, his tongue tangling with mine. His Alpha purr runs through him, rattling through his chest and sending vibrations down to my pussy.

Slick gushes between my thighs as a whine tears from my throat.

“I think she needs a little something else, River.” Mateo steps back before River lays me on the earth floor, my body thrumming with energy. My Alpha is there in the next moment, shushing the pleas that manage to escape. “I’ve got you, princess. Such a needy thing, aren’t you?”

My face flames, Mateo chuckling as he hovers over me and then slides right in, giving me little warning. His hands fall to my hips, holding me against him as he pumps into me, silencing my cries with firm kisses. I dig my fingers into his arms as he fucks me. It isn’t as wild as last night but there’s still a feral aspect to the way he spears into me.

My cries become needier as I claw my Alpha, demanding release and a knot. My pussy strangles Mateo’s cock, trying to suck him deeper in when an orgasm runs through me. Mateo fucks me through it, his thrusts becoming wilder until he spills inside of me and then pulls out.

“What-”

River is there in the next second, sliding right in. A knowing smile sits on his face. “I’ve got you, sweetie. I’ve been waiting for this moment much longer than you know. I want to bond you, Nepheline. Will you let me officially become one of your Alphas?”

“Yes.” There is no hesitation in my answer.

River starts up a slow, sensual pace, my previous orgasmic high still thrumming through my limbs. Every drag of his cock along my pussy walls heightens my pleasure, the squelch of my slick and Mateo’s release easing the slide. Mateo shifts back, sitting guard as I lose myself in my second Alpha. “I still remember the day Mateo told us that you wanted us too. Goddess, it was the best and worst day of my life. The day I thought we lost you. And then you came back to us. Never letting you go, sweetie.”

“Bite me, Alpha. Make me yours,” I whisper.

“Sweetie, you have always been mine.”

River leans down, kissing me again, the metal scraping against my lips until I feel a cold wet sensation. I run my tongue over it, eyes widening when I realize that River bit my lip. “That’s almost as impractical as Remi’s,” I whine.

He doesn’t give me time to dwell on it as he surges forward, roaring as he fucks into me. The sound is almost as loud and possessive as Mateo’s, the ground rumbling beneath me. I stare up at River’s chest, watching as a smaller version of Mateo’s crest spreads across the skin.

Oh, my other mates are going to be jealous.

The night delved into sweet kisses and touches, River sucking on my lips until they were swollen and bruised. Everyone is going to use that shit to their advantage to silence me in an argument. I just know it.

I slip out from beneath my Alphas, shifting back so that I can stretch. My back cracks and I stare up as small flakes of snow fall from the sky. The sereneness of this small space brings a stillness that reminds me of a moment I never want to remember. It feels like time slows, the world around us pausing as my heartbeat thunders in my ears.

“Ma-Mateo? River?” They are up within seconds, standing beside me. They’re still in their wolf forms, snarling at an unknown threat. No doubt they can feel the strained energy at the edge of the pack lands, that thin wall of wavering light River explained flickering as someone steps through.

Correction. Something.

My breath catches in my throat as three other wolves step through the veil as if it doesn’t exist. We’re supposed to be protected. I don’t understand.
