Page 102 of Knot So Broken

I don’t know why I do it, but I freeze.

When I marked her last time, I did so without any kind of hesitation or permission. Which is something I both regret, and refuse to regret, in the same breath.

Kennedy has reassured me that she wasn’t upset at me too much but what if she does hold it against me? What if she doesn’t want my mark?

The thought of her rejecting me now, after everything, makes me feel sick to my stomach. I know that I love Kennedy. Not having her feels like a likeness to the pits of hell.

I need her as badly as I need air, if not more.

Life was dull before her.

I love Ledger and I know he loves me but her... fuck. She is everything.

A hand creeps up my back before finding my shoulder and squeezing, “Let’s go get our Omega, Jax. Can’t you smell how much she needs us right now?”

I nod as I bring my hand up, watching as it hovers over the door handle. There is still that hint of hesitation. I try but I struggle to break through it as I war with myself.

A dull whimper from inside the nest has me perking up, looking at the door as though I can see through it to my Omega.

The sound of her breaks through that last uncertainty.

If I thought the scent of her was strong outside of the nest, it has nothing on the way her perfume drowns me as I open the door.

Kennedy is curled up in Theo’s arms, both of them naked. It's clear that they were unable to wait until we were all reunited.

Looking at our Omega, I find her face restless. I watch as a wave of pain has her bringing her knees further up to her chest.

She whines, clutching her bare stomach as the pain becomes too much.

Theo stirs, blinking his eyes to find Ledger and I standing above him before he looks at Kennedy whose face is still tight with pain.

Ripping my clothes off, I haphazardly throw them around the room with little care. Seeing Kennedy in so much pain after all she has been through is unthinkable. I need to be there for her. To help her through the pain. To be her Alpha.

She jolts at the touch of my fingers against her thigh. I go to pull back but her hand snaps out grabbing me and pulling me towards her. She moves so quickly that before I know it, Kennedy has me on my back as she hovers over me.

Blinking down at me, her smile has my chest tightening. It's a look I was terrified of not ever being able to see again.

“Alpha,” she whimpers, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

“My Omega,” I murmur, my hand raising up to cradle her cheek, “I’m so sorry that I let you down. We promised you that you would never go back to being in the hands of anyone that wanted to hurt you and we failed.”

I feel the tension rise in the room as both Ledger andTheo stiffen.

Kennedy instantly starts shaking her head, “No, Jax. You have nothing to be sorry for. Once I knew that you were alive, I knew that you would come to save me and,” her smile brightens even more which feels impossible, “you did.”

I go to protest but she covers my mouth with her hand; a move I didn’t see coming from her.

“No, Alpha,” she growls. The sound is foreign coming from a meek little thing like my angel but it stops me in my tracks.

“You did not fail me.” She highlights each word with a tap of her finger into my pec, “You saved me and now, I want to show my appreciation. After all, you have been such a good Alpha.”

My eyes blow wide as Kennedy crawls down my body until she is at face level with my cock. Keeping her eyes locked with mine, she slowly takes my length into her mouth.

I throw my head back as the feeling of her hot mouth already has me at the point of embarrassing myself. I groan as I thread my hands through her curled hair. I don’t need to encourage her to take me as she sucks me right into her mouth, gagging as I hit her tonsils.

The dominance rolling off her lets me know that Kennedy is in full control right now. I know that I would give in to her without any hesitation. Every single aspect of an Alpha rejects showing any kind of weakness or lack of superiority, but I would get on my knees and crawl to her right now if she asked me to.

Moving up and down my length, she brings me closer and closer to completion. It's impossible to hold back when it feels like she is about to suck the soul out of me.
