But just as we neared the peak, his cell phone rang, the shrill tone slicing through the passion-filled air. He paused mid-thrust, snarling as he grabbed his phone from the floor.

My pussy clenchedand throbbed around his warm cock while I waited impatiently beneath him.

Jaxon’s eyes never left mine as he pressed the phone to his ear, answering gruffly, “What’s going on?”

I tried to keep my breathing under control, not wanting whoever was on the other line to hear what we were doing.

“Are you really banging Carmen right now?” Tyler’s voice came through loud and clear, making me blush furiously. Jaxon smirked at me, unfazed by the question.

“Fuck yeah, I am. Now, get on with it. Did you all make it okay?” he growled, maintaining eye contact with me the entire time as he slowly thrust in and out of me while squeezing my breast with his other hand.

“Yeah, he’s dead.”

“Fuck yes,” said Jaxon, hanging up the phone and immediately continuing to thrust into me with even more energy than before. “No one’s stopping me from knotting you tonight, honey. I love you.”

His final pump sent me over the edge, my scream mingling with his growl.

“I love you too,” I screamed as my orgasm took over my entire body, making me tremble and shake. His cock began to swell rapidly, knotting me to him. My climax, combined with the sensation of his cock swelling inside me, intensified the pleasure coursing through me.

We lay there, panting heavily, our bodies shining with sweat. Jaxon cuddled me from the side, pulling me against him while gently rubbing my back.

“I can’t believe we had sex while the pack was fighting for their lives,” I said, suddenly feeling guilty for losing control like this.

“They’re okay,” he reassured me. “Just like I said they would be. We did our duty as alpha and omega.”

“So is it my role to just lie down on command and get bred?” I asked playfully, glaring at him with a mischievous twinkle in my eyes.

“Hmm,” he started, a twinkle in his eye indicating he wasn’t opposed to the idea. “It’s called making love to our queen. You are our queen, and you will get knotted whenever you need it—to carry our babies.”

Carmen

An hour later, as I lay entangled with Jaxon in our nest, the sudden sound of the front door opening made my heart race.

I sat up, and Jaxon stirred beside me, his gaze meeting mine as we both listened to the voices echoing through the house. Glancing at the glowing clock on the nightstand, I saw it was one a.m.

Logan and the pack were home. Relief washed over me when I heard his voice; I was so excited to see my alphas again.

“Thank goodness they’re back,” I whispered, worry still lingering in my chest. Jaxon grinned lazily, his one eye closed.

I stood up from the nest, straightening my dress excitedly as I heard their footsteps rushing up the steps to see me.

“Slow down. She’s probably sleeping,” said Logan, but the bedroom door swung open to reveal Logan, Axel, Griffin, Tyler, and Talon, all bruised and disheveled, their clothes torn from battle.

“Oh my God,” I squealed, rushing over to them.

“Hey, beautiful,” said Logan, hugging me back. He smelled like sweat, blood, and war. It made my pussy throb as Ismelled the powerful, wolfish scent of war reminding me that he risked his life to save me.

“You made it,” I said, burying my face in his chest and feeling his arms to ensure he was really there. He was truly here in the flesh.

“We did,” said Logan, nodding toward Tyler and the alphas. “Tyler finished him off.”

I turned to Tyler next.

“Glad to see you’re safe,” said Tyler, nodding to me. I nodded back, not quite ready to forgive him.
