Page 31 of Knotting Before Them

He wasn’t joking. His eyes were full of hunger when he whispered against my lips. “Run, little omega.”

My body was quicker than my head once again, because I jumped into action, running from the kitchen. I heard him laughing loudly, knowing that with the short legs I had, they would catch me pretty soon.

I ran to the living room and into the small room behind it. When I heard his steps approaching, I pivoted to the other side, reaching the staircase.

“Little omega, running from your mate? You can’t.”

Shit.

It was so hot, running naked through the house, my feet flapping against the wooden floors. When I reached upstairs,thatroom called to me.

I tested the door, and bingo. It was unlocked.

I closed the door and found the balcony, my eyes on the small gate leading me to the woods.

Like the first time I ran through these woods with Wylder, my heart hammered in anticipation. The only difference is that the first time, I had no idea what was waiting for me.

I knew better now.

I heard their steps behind me—not only Wylder, but Noah and Theo too, the pack chasing me like wolves.

I was their prey.

I salivated, wanting to be caught but never daring to slow down. As I arrived at the same clearance in the woods as before, I pushed to go faster. These woods held unimaginable power. I knew it now. I believed it.

I heard them approaching, warmth spreading over me.

“Little omega…” Wylder called, and I felt slick gush between my thighs.

Catch me. Please, catch me.

Suddenly, I felt strong arms close around my waist. I was brought to a hard chest, and my legs danced in the air as he lifted me.

“Caught ya,” Wylder chuckled in my ear.

I felt his cock hard digging into my back, his piercings cold in comparison with the warmth of our skin. I whimpered and wiggled my backside, needing the friction.

“You’re such a tease, sweetheart. I’m going to devour you.”

I believed him.

He let me go, and my feet met the ground once again, crushing snow. Theo and Noah were there too, watching a few steps behind.

I gulped, my eyes not moving from Wylder’s cock. He had that boyish smirk of his, his muscles tight like he needed to be held back, but holding back was the last thing I needed.

It was my third knot, and I wanted it like I wanted the first. The fever was still present, burning me up from the inside out. It knew they were three, that I needed three.

“The way you perfume these woods, Julia,” he growled, prowling to me. “It drives me crazy.”

“So easy to follow your scent,” Noah added.

They breathed hard, moved precisely like predators closing on their prey. I jumped back and tripped on a stick, falling into the ground. Wylder was fast, grabbing my ankle and dragging me until I was under him.

“Stay,” he ordered.

I never wanted to go anywhere. I couldn’t. This is where I belonged. I swallowed dryly, my eyes on him as he moved slowly, bringing me closer. Noah positioned himself behind me, his hands on my shoulders and then palming my breasts, teasing my nipples as Wylder took the lead.

“I have these crazy ideas about what to do with you, sweetheart. I don’t know if you’ll survive them.”
