Something cold gushes out of my teeth, and it jerks me from the rut. I move my head away, instantly clearing out the rut haze.

“No, no, no.” I pull her up with me, and we kneel on the nest, her back to my front and I grab her face, turn it toward me so I can press my ear to her face and hear her breathing. My other hand lands between her breasts so I can detect her heartbeats, which have slowed down. All her muscles give out, and she slumps against me. I press the back of her head to my shoulder, staring into the darkness in front of me as she’s dying. Venom kills.

Of all the times the venom could’ve come for me, it chose to do so now, when it would do the most damage. I pick her up and arrange her so we spoon, and I keep listening to her breaths and her slow heart rate. I press a finger to the spot where I bit her and feel blood mixed with what I am certain is Sewa male venom. I bring it to my nose, and the scent of the two combined offends me. My chest feels a void as Kiki is dying, slowly and very painfully. Death by venom is the worst.

Then I hear a noise I can only identify as a soft snore.

I lift up on my elbow and listen carefully.

Yup, there’s a barely audible breathing pattern of a female sleeping.

I slump against the fur, still attached to her, and scrub my face. “Thank you, Great Serpent. You really love fucking with me.”

Chapter 18

Kiki

I awake with a soft headache at my temples, a sore shoulder, and an even sorer vagina. Turning onto my side, I snap open my eyes to find Seer staring right at me. I scoot closer to his cold body and sigh, relieved at the cool feel of skin. I kiss his damaged chest up his neck, his jaw, his black lips, then pull back when he doesn’t encourage me on. I survey his face, and I can’t quite make out his expression.

“Did you have a nice nap?” he asks.

I hold my head. “I think so. I have a dull headache.” I touch my shoulder and come away with green-tinted blood. I frown, trying to remember what happened. “Um, did I fall asleep during… Oh no, don’t tell me. I was not present during the losing of my virginity, the event I’ve been looking forward to all my life.”

Seer smiles. “You were present.”

“I hardly remember. It’s sort of…a haze.”

“It’s for the best, believe me.” Seer purrs and kisses my forehead, his hand catching the back of my knee and hiking my leg over his hip. He grabs his massive cock and brings it to my entrance, then jerks his hips. The feeling of him widening me makes my eyes roll to the back of my head. Inside, my channel burns, and he’s the water that tames the fire and ignites it at the same time as he moves in and out of my sore pussy for what feels like forever, sometimes kissing me, sometimes licking my nipples, most times rubbing my clit until I’m wiggling over him, begging him to fuck me harder. Which he doesn’t. I feel his body go taut just as I gush my orgasm. He follows, and finally, I feel the knot. The blessed Alpha knot expands inside me, stretching me so painfully that I grab his biceps and dig my fingernails into his armor he’s kept erect for days now. It makes him look larger than life, and for me, he is larger than life, this male who is my bonded partner. I hold him tightly and bury my face into the crook of his neck, inhale the pheromones that have bonded me to him, and I take a minute to thank the great Serpent for throwing this extraordinary male on the path to my house.

“Seer?”

“Mmm,” he says and grips my ass, spanks it twice.

I rub the place. It hurts, but it’s kind of hot at the same time.

“Why didn’t you tell me you carry venom?”

He chuckles. “Because I don’t. Not before I bit you and, luckily, only induced you to sleep.”

I pull back, understanding his expression. “You thought I would die from the bite.”

“Of course. A Sewa male doesn’t go around biting Omegas.”

“The Great Serpent has blessed our union,” I say.

“He has,” Seer admits. “Though I’d have appreciated a fucking warning.”

I chuckle.

“Pup, listen, I am gonna be the King of Earth, and I do not share. There will never be another or a pack or any of that nonsense. You with me?”

“I’m with you, Alpha.”

“Go on and tell me I’m sexier than the pack Daddy picked out for you. My one dick is better than five.” He leans in. “Go on and say it.”

“You’ve already said it all.”

“Damn straight.”
