And I was there with her, inside her, every feeling she kept hidden from us blooming. Her fear, her pain, the insecurities that hounded her every second of the day. The ones we caused, and the ones that followed her for years.
I collapsed into her, my jaw clamping, keeping our connection as I greedily explored the explosion of our mating bond.
She was so fucking sad, in so much pain, and we treated her like a bloody toy. As we pushed further into each other, it was like being slapped, dragging up every dark memory I tried to bury.
I couldn’t find the source, just that her pain spiralled deep within her. But I knew I’d find whatever made her sad and destroy it or heal it or whatever the fuck she wanted. Because I hadn’t seen her smile at me. Not once, not genuinely. A grin for Kai, a soft look at Sin, but whenever her lips curved for me, they carried hurt and caution. My omega didn’t deserve the depths of pain that were radiating from her. Pain that twisted its way through me, curling around my insides, choking my heart.
I needed to see her face to know that she felt it too.
I thought it was sweat at first. I thrust into her hard, so desperate to be inside her, to find her brokenness and fix it with mine, that I didn’t realise she was crying until the tears scattered across my collarbones.
“Caspian,” she gasped, a sob heaving through her, tears streaming down her face as I held her in my arms. I dropped forward, pressing my lips to her cheek, kissing her, licking her tears, soaking up her pain.
“I’m right here. I’m right fucking here, Mel. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Caspian, it hurts.” She shook, her hands and legs clinging tighter and tighter. “My heart hurts so much. Why does it—”
“Don’t fucking think. You’re mine now. Your pain is mine; your happiness is mine. Everything about you belongs to me, and you know what?”
She looked at me with wide eyes, huge tears still dripping down her cheeks. “What? Please tell me. I need to hear it.”
“I’m yours,” I growled as I stole her lips in a heavy kiss. “I’ve been yours since you first stepped through that fucking heat suite door.”
Her sob echoed deep in her chest, morphing into a cry as I brushed my tongue over my bite.
“I need your bite, little omega. Sink your teeth into me so hard that all this pain will get wiped away.”
I pressed against her ass again, lifting her up, bringing her close to me.
“Don’t lick it. Just bite. Give your alpha what he needs.”
She let out another cry, just seconds before pain and pleasure sped from my neck, and I yelled out as she bit me.
My eyes rolled into the back of my head, those tears still falling as another bomb dropped between us. But this time it was pure joy as our bond completed, devastating any idea I had about what a real pack meant.
Kai was there, beaming through me, and Sin’s relief beating along with it, but it was nothing compared to the love exploding through us.
Softness hummed there, something I never thought I’d give to an omega other than Kai. It was so tender and so fucking sweet that I didn’t know how I’d lived without it.
“Caspian,” she whimpered as she panted against me, her tongue running from her bite up to my ear. “You taste so good.”
Kai was my perfection; Sin was my rock. And she was my air, fucking destroying any clue of what I really wanted. Because I could see it, our two omegas, laughing and sharing a life together with me and Sin. It was so real that I could see it beyond all the chaos we’d rained down on each other.
Because, fuck, I loved her. I didn’t even know how it happened. It had to be some trick of biology, just the scent match messing with my brain. Because it had raged through me so quickly that I couldn’t even tell who was who. Where she started or I ended, it was all a blur as I kept thrusting.
I groaned, her presence swelling in me, and a sly smile crossed her lips.
“Is my alpha going to come for me?” she purred.
“Fuck!” I gasped. I couldn’t stop as I pounded into her, tearing another scream from her pretty lips.
Neither of us needed to say it. One sentence. That was all it took; one look, and it settled in place for both of us. Our bond, our need, our fucking love. It was all there, and with her wicked smile, I came.
Sin
The shock of every person in the room as Caspian carried Melanie back in his arms in her torn dress was incredibly satisfying.
Especially when Kai snarled at Lady Montague to move so we could make space for her. As Zania’s prime omega candidate, she had expectations, and my omega finally shattered them.
