Page 90 of These Bonds that Unite Us
“Thank you,” I whisper, the words choked with the emotion rolling through me. Tears fill Omen’s eyes but she blinks them away, instead pressing her lips to mine in a passionate kiss that’s all tongue and teeth.
Nexus’ patience comes to an end and he ruts into her, jostling her on my cock with each rough thrust. Omen keens, locking down around me as she comes again. I slip my hands around her hips and push my knot inside of her, extending her orgasm and locking us together. Spurt after spurt of my cum fills her, marking her as mine as thoroughly as the bite mark on her throat. Nexus follows behind us, pulling out to coat her back in his release.
We’re sweaty sticky messes lying in her bed, but it’s the happiest we’ve ever been. Our pack is finally complete, and our forever is just getting started.
Shrill ringing jolts me awake. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I grab my phone and silence the alert blaring from the speaker. A notification from our security system vibrates repeatedly against my hand.
Opening the app, my blood runs cold. Sweeping around the house is a team of mercenaries. One of them turns to the camera, a sneer twisting his lips. I would recognize his dark blonde hair and vile disposition anywhere.
Benjamin Montgomery has come for our girl.
“What’s wrong?” Omen’s tired voice asks from behind me. Our eyes lock when I turn to look over my shoulder, and I know she’s realized what is happening. Her jaw firms, shoulders straightening. She’s a goddess commanding me to worship at her feet, and I’m so fucking proud to have an omega as resilient as her.
Our noses touch as I hover over her. I can see the wild, almost feral way I look reflected in her sea green eyes. I trail my lips across her cheek, down to the soft, sensitive spot below her ear. My breath puffs against her, eliciting a full-body shudder. Whispering, I speak the words I should have said weeks ago. “I love you, Sarah Montgomery. So Fated damned much.”
Her eyes flare wide as she stares up at me, so many emotions skating through our bond it’s difficult to name them all. “I know that isn’t your name anymore, but I need you to know I chooseyou. All of you.”
“I love you too, Alpha.” She softens, nipping at her bond on my throat, making me groan as my cock instantly goes hard.Fuck, now isnotthe time for this. Slamming my lips to hers, I force my tongue into her mouth, needing this small taste. Her hips lift, grinding her sweet pussy against my sweatpants. It’s torture to part from her.
Backing away from the bed, I shake the others awake. Omen’s still dazed from our bonding, but when she senses them rousing, she clambers to her feet.
“Wha’s going on?” Nexus mumbles.
“They’re here.” My words have the sleep fading from their eyes, replacing it with the same determination thrumming in my chest.
This ends tonight.
Omen skirts around me, aiming for the door but I catch her around the waist, spinning us until her back is against the wall. With one arm resting by her head, I cage her in. “This isn’t your fight, Omega.”
“Ben is my brother, and he’s here for me. I’ll deal with–”
“You’ve done enough.” I sharply cut her off. “You took care of your father, let me face your brother. I have my own vendetta to handle.”
This sense of responsibility she has toward her family’s crimes needs to stop. I’m to blame for part of that feeling. If I hadn’t walked away from her because of her connection to them–and hadn't unfairly blamed her for my sister’s death–maybe she wouldn’t believe she’s responsible for their actions.
Her eyes dart between mine, searching. “For Elizabeth. Okay,” she concedes. “Just… be careful. Ben has been unstable since everything happened with your sister. I imagine the downfall of our father’s empire has only worsened his mental state.”
I nod, leaning in to kiss her again, slow and sweet this time. Pressing my lips to her forehead, I push off the wall and stalk to the door.
Titan is already waiting, a stony look on his usually chill face. He jerks his head, swinging the wood open. “Keep our girl safe. We’re activating the nest’s security measures. No one in, no one out, until we confirm it’s safe.”
They both nod, pulling Omen back to the bed with them. My eyes roam over the three of them, soaking in the combined scents of our pack in the room. They’ll be safe here. Not that I will let any of these assholes get up anywhere close to them.
Letting the door close behind me, I open the hidden panel beside it and type in the emergency code. Metal shutters rattle as they roll into place, locking down the doors and windows into the nest.
“Let’s go deal with this asshole.”
“For Liz,” Titan agrees, knuckles bumping against my shoulder.
Glass shatters in the living room, urging us to move faster. One of our security guards has been tossed through the sliding doors to the patio. He’s unconscious on the floor behind the couch.
I move to check him over, but Benjamin steps through the hole he made. The foul stench of his chemically disrupted scent clogs my nose, making bile rise in my throat. This man has fucked himself up trying to become something he isn’t.
Raising the gun in his hands he throws a feeble bark at us. “Move.” I almost laugh at his poor attempt to intimidate us. His alpha presence is so fractured he couldn’t use a bark against a compliant omega, let alone force me or Titan to move.
Titan widens his stance, filling the entrance to the hallway. “No.”
“Drop it,” I bark at the same time.
