“Where does my prime want his mark?” I ask, flicking my gaze to Atlas. I adopt a flirty grin, which causes the tension to break as his eyes darken. They roam over me, exploring every available patch of bare skin for a place that feels right.
He crawls over to me, watching me with both heat and adoration. I never want his eyes to look elsewhere. They make me feel powerful, vigorous.
He gently places his index finger on my chin and pushes it sideways, elongating the right side of my neck. He heaves some of his breath there, my skin raising with goosebumps immediately.
“I want everyone to see my mark. I want everyone to know that this omega is mine.” He gives the spot a kiss, which makes my breath hitch. “I want everyone to know that your pretty pussy is mine. Mine and my pack’s. Forever and always.”
I push my neck out further at his words, trying to rub my thighs together to cause some friction between my legs. “It is yours, Atlas. Let everyone know.”
A possessive growl comes out of him just before he closes his lips around the spot, giving it a subtle suck before diving his canines into me. The pressure is instant, a slight pain building just before there’s infinite euphoria. The bite sends unmistakable pleasure through my body all the way to my toes.
It makes me want to lean up and rub against him, but the thought stops short when I feel an overpowering amount of love. It pours from him in waves and makes a home inside my veins. For long, wondrous moments, all I can do is sit and bask in the strong emotions of my prime. I can feel his love for everyone, his subconscious fears, hiseverything. It is like we are merging into one being. It’s like we are returning home.
With the rush of his emotions hitting me in every possible crevice, I lean over and dig my own teeth into the parallel spot on his neck. There’s a moment of sensual pleasure, then it expandsto something much more loving. Our feelings meet each other in the middle and mingle like old friends.
“I love you, Stacia,” he pants, our feelings flowing through each other in waves of elation. It’s overstimulating but in the best way. His chamomile scent sizzles, illuminating stronger than I’ve ever smelled it before. It takes me back to the first moment I got a hint of it in the living room of Alpha Xi. Its calming aura settles over me once more, showing me that this alpha is not only my prime… he is my rock.
“I know.” I feel tears in my eyes. “I-I can feel it. It’s amazing.”
He instinctually rubs his cheeks against mine, scent marking me with a deep groan. “I don’t want to let you go, but our pack is waiting.”
The way he saysour packcauses a tear to finally escape. He reaches up, his thumb swiping it away. I give him a subtle nod before he kisses the tip of my nose and finally moves away, letting Uriah take his place.
Every person outside of this house knows this alpha to be grumpy, irritable, and intimidating. But right now, he’s looking at me with the most expressive and joyous eyes I’ve ever seen. His boyish smile shows his anxiousness, his scent slightly spiked from the mutual images we have of finally claiming one another.
“You are every bit the omega I dreamed for myself andmore,” he whispers so his words are only for us. “Words cannot properly describe how much I love you, Stacia.”
“Uriah,” I hum, my eyes already filling back up. “You are everything to me. The words are irrelevant. In a moment, I’ll be able tofeelit.” He groans under his breath, which makes me smile. “I love you. I love you so much.”
His tears mirror mine, and the show of emotion makes me feel like I’m going to explode with glee. “Where do you want your mark, Alpha?”
He growls heavily, his teeth going into his lip. Then he balances himself with one hand before taking my wrist with the other and bringing it to his lips.
“I want to be by your sidealways.Is this okay?”
I give him a nod. “Yes, please do it.”
He doesn’t need anymore permission as he sinks his teeth into my wrist. I feel a plethora of sensation the second the bond snaps. Intense love and devotion that I never thought I’d feel in my life starts to pour into me. It’s overwhelming but so incredibly Uriah that it floods me with amour.
There’s pain settled deep into who he is, pain that I’m not sure will ever evaporate. It hugs me like it recognizes the piece of me that feels too deeply, that drowns too easily. It soothes my edges, and mischievously plays with the balance between us.
He pulls his own wrist up to my lips and I don’t wait another second to take it between my teeth, biting down to complete the tether between us.
All the darkness he tries to hide encounters mine and it feels slightly less heavy together. There’s a new lightness inside me, and I can see that he feels it, too. That we made it. We can finally let go now, and live with nothing less than what we both deserve.
“Beautiful Omega.” I give a saturated laugh as he utters the same words from the first time we met. It feels right. So, incredibly right.
Our lips meet in exquisite harmony, and it takes everything in both of us to part.
He whispersI love youa few more times under his breath between kisses to my face before finally moving over and letting Kendall fall into place on top of me.
It feels just as right. More so, now, that the other two are full of love as they watch us together. The happiness I feel in them relieves me. These four have a healthy friendship between them,and I can finally rest easy knowing that I’ll never be able to fuck it up.
“Some may consider this the finish line, but I think it’s just the beginning.” Kendall caresses my cheek, and I can’t help but let a small moan escape. “I can’t wait to learn and grow with you during our life together. I love you so much, Stacia.”
“I love you, too.” I place my forehead on his. “Please, Kendall. I want to feel you.”
His lips turn into a flirty smirk. “With pleasure, Omega.” His hands go to the hem of my shirt just before he yanks it over my head, leaving me shirtless amongst them. The feeling is tantalizing. Goosebumps start to arise on my skin just before he gives me a kiss on the mound of my breast.
