Page 241 of Knot Unwanted: Part One

The scent hits me like a freight train, wrapping around me and invading every sense. Heat pheromones. Sweet and sharp and intoxicating. It’s Finn’s, but layered with Hailey’s, the two of them mingling in a way that makes my head spin. My body reacts instantly—my cock hardening, my frame aching with the need to claim, to take.

“Fuck,” I hiss, gripping the doorframe as I force myself to breathe. Control. I have to keep control.

But it’s hard. The scent is everywhere, sinking into the walls, the floors, the fuckingair. It’s primal, overwhelming, and all I want to do—all Ineedto do—is find them. My omegas. They’re mine. They’re mine, and they’re calling to me without even trying.

I can hear them upstairs. The creak of the bed, the low groans and cries, the wet slap of skin against skin. My mouth waters, my hands clenching into fists at my sides as I fight the urge to rip my clothes off and take the stairs two at a time.

I have to force myself to count to ten before I move, my boots heavy against the floor as I make my way upstairs. Each step feelsharder than the last, the sound of them, the scent of them, the need for them growing stronger with every breath.

By the time I reach the bedroom door, I’m shaking. My hand grips the doorknob, my chest rising and falling with ragged breaths as I try to steady myself. But when I push the door open, all the control I’ve been clinging to shatters.

The sight in front of me is pure fucking carnage.

Stone is buried in Finn, his knot locked tight, his hands gripping Finn’s hips as if he’s the only thing keeping him grounded. Finn is sprawled over Hailey, his cock still buried inside her, his body trembling as soft, broken sounds spill from his lips.

And the scent—gods—the scent is unbearable now, thick and heady, wrapping around me like a noose. My mouth waters, my knees nearly buckling as the primal need to join them floods through me.

Stone glances up, his eyes hazy with lust, and I can see the tension in his body, the way he’s barely holding on. He doesn’t say a word, doesn’t need to. None of us do.

But it’s Finn who breaks me.

His gray eyes meet mine, wide and glassy, and he lets out a soft, desperate whimper. His hand stretches out toward me, trembling, as if he’s reaching for salvation.

“Jax,” he whispers.

And that’s it. That’s all it takes.

My omegas need me. Both of them. I can see it in the way Finn’s body shudders, the way Hailey’s fingers grip his arms, her lips parted as she gasps for air. They’re mine, and they’re calling to me, and fuck if I’m going to make them wait.

But first, I need to get my shit together.

I pull my phone from my pocket, my hands shaking as I dial Ren’s number. It rings once. Twice. Three times. Then it goes to voicemail.

“Ren, pick up,” I growl, pacing the length of the hallway as Itry to ignore the sounds coming from the bedroom. “I know you’re there. I know you can feel this. Call me back.”

I hang up, my jaw tightening as I clench the phone in my hand. He’s ignoring me. He has to be. Ren’s always been the most stubborn of us. But this isn’t just about him. This is about all of us.

The bond is broken, the pack is fractured, but we’re still here. Still tethered to each other, whether he likes it or not. And I’m going to pull us back together, no matter what it takes.

I grip the doorframe, my knuckles white as I take a deep breath and step inside.

Stone’s knot releases with a soft, wet sound, and Finn lets out a low, shuddering moan as Stone pulls out of him. The gush of spend that follows fills the air with an even stronger scent, and I feel my cock twitch in response, my entire body tightening with need.

Stone shifts to the side, his chest heaving as he collapses onto the bed, his golden eyes meeting mine for a brief moment before he looks away. I can see the guilt etched into his face, the tension in his jaw as he runs a hand through his sweat-dampened hair.

Finn pulls out of Hailey with a soft groan, rolling onto his back as he collapses beside her. His chest rises and falls with heavy breaths, his skin flushed and glistening with sweat. His eyes flutter open, and when he looks at me, there’s no anger there. Just need.

“Jax,” he whispers again, his voice soft and broken.

I’m on the bed in an instant, my hands framing his face as I kiss him deeply. His lips are soft and warm against mine, his breath hitching as he arches into me, his body trembling beneath my touch.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I murmur against his mouth, my voice low and rough. “Both of you. My perfect omegas.”

Finn lets out a soft sound, his hands gripping my arms as I trail kisses down his neck, across his collarbone. I can feel the heat radiating off him, the way his body responds to every touch, every kiss, as if it’s been starved for this.

I move lower, my lips following the curve of his chest, my tongue flicking over his nipple. He gasps, his back arching off the bed, and I can feel Hailey shift beside him, her fingers brushing against my arm as she watches us.

“Jax,” Finn breathes, his voice trembling. “Please…”
