Page 142 of Feral Alphas

I laugh until Uno’s first experimental thrust knocks the air from my lungs. He can’t talk and he has crap social skills, but my alpha knows his way around his omega’s body by pure instinct.

His thrusts grow steadily deeper, dissolving the burning heat and the lightning pinging in my veins, and my head falls back.

Chapter fifty-four

Rose

Heat haze is a powerful thing, and it turns out mine is stronger than normal. I exist in a fever dream, napping between the surges so strong they make me black out from time to time. Uno refuses to let go of me, and he, Zane, Kye, and Colt nurse me through the waves. Kye carries the lion’s share, his first rut giving him superhuman stamina. But even he wears out as the heat blazes on relentlessly.

I wake from a stupor as Colt tucks his hand under my head and pops something in my mouth. “Drink, Rose.” Water splashes across my tongue and I guzzle at it, trying to sate the heat within. Then my head falls back; I’m too exhausted to go another round but the pressure is rising regardless of my wishes. Time has blurred into an insomniac daze of fucks and knots, leaving me weak, itchy, and hoarse. And still desperately horny.

“Come on, love, up you get.” Colt grunts as he levers me out of the wet bed.

Something drags on my arm and when my eyes blink open, I catch Uno looking at me as he snares my wrist. Colt and I are the only ones he acknowledges, but that’s enough. It also means he isn’t trying to kill the others.

I tug gently against his grasp. “Come, Uno.”

“She going to need that drip,” Kye says softly when my head flops. I reach for him, and he kisses my outstretched hand as Colt carries me past.

The bathroom’s already steamy from the running shower and Colt leaves the light off so it doesn’t bother my sensitive eyes as he loads me into the water with Uno.

I drape on the smaller alpha as the water sluices down my body and he takes my weight. “How long?” I ask Colt as he leans in with soap-lathered hands to wash me down.

“Nearly two weeks, darling. Olympians have nothing on you.”

I snort and whimper as the smooth caress of his hands over my skin fires my lust deep in my core. Shit, I’m starting all over again. “It’s too much,” I murmur, fighting tears.

“I know, love, but we’ve got you. You’re doing great.”

I love Colt’s voice and the tones are even more guttural with him on the brink of exhaustion. It’s a pity I’ll never hear Uno’s, but I think from the way even his growls rasp, his vocal chords are too badly damaged.

A whine slips through my throat as I sag in Uno’s arms. At least the guys get to take turns and tap out for a rest now and then, but I’m filled with constant, insatiable need.

“Ready for us?” Colt calls.

“Yeah, sheets are changed,” Kye calls back.

Colt turns off the shower and I lean my head against his chest as he pats a towel over me and Uno. I feel wonderfully refreshed, enough to open my eyes and take stock of my room. Zane is passed out on a pillow on the floor, instinctively sleeping with his back to a wall even in utter exhaustion, and Kye bundles a big armful of dirty linen out the door.

“I want to stretch my legs,” I murmur, following Kye out of the room. I throw one hand up to cover my eyes in the bright natural light and sniff the air. Luka’s scent is here. I stumble forward with a soft whine and run into a big obstacle.

Shaking Uno off my wrist, I reach up and climb.

“Ah, little help here, Colt?” The strangled voice isn’t Luka’s, and I dive my nose into his throat, confused.

“I’m not Luka, doll, but I did visit him in hospital.”

“Agent Liam?” I murmur, equal parts frustrated and intrigued by the man’s own alpha scent. “Where’s Luka?”

“He’ll be here soon, Rose,” Colt says, resting his hands on my shoulders, attempting to pry me loose.

I squirm against Liam, the heat rising within making me delirious. “You smell good. Are you here to help me with my heat too?”

“Oh, damn,” Agent Liam groans as I grind my hips against him. A distant part of my brain says that’s not okay, but the animal side isn’t listening. “Colt, take her!”

Colt peels me off the agent like I’m a sloth with a low chuckle. “Come on, love.”

I reach for Agent Liam, confused. “Is that a no?”
