CRESCENT
The heat was… amazing.
Better than amazing.
I had my alphas and Sin.
After years of excruciating heats, I couldn’t switch off. I think I’d gone two days without sleep at one point, then passed out for one night only. But Sin’s heat was a beast to match mine, so there hadn’t been a single moment where I wasn’t taken care of.
My alphas were insatiable, too, and I’d been knotted more times than I thought possible. Karma, however, got a bit big for his britches, trying to match his sigma in heat, and I found myself in fits of delirious giggles one of the nights when he conked out mid-sex, trying to keep up.
Butsomethingwasn’t right.
It was day who-knew-what, and I think finally I might be on the last wave. I was more lucid, but no less needy for a knot as I blinked my eyes open.
There were three bonds, strong and open.
And one… weaker. Only held together by the pack bond we had.
Phantom’s bite wasn’t anywhere on me.
He’d knotted me a bunch of times, and been on snack duty, making sure we were all fed and watered. But he hadn’t once given in and sunk his teeth into me.
I frowned, working through that. He didn’t need to bite me, but… I wanted him to.
Didhenot want to?
Maybe he… wanted to do it in private? Without the others?
I had to do something to make him comfortable, because I ached for his claim on me.
With the curtains pulled, the haze of days and nights was utterly unclear. I’d pulled one back a bit, and smiled as moonlight bathed the soft pillows of my nest.
The whole pack was in here, Sin asleep with Karma lying beside him, and me sandwiched between Phantom and Vandle.
I was fine.
I’d make it fine.
Phantom was mine, and I’d make it all perfect and convince him to put his bite on me.
Sitting up, I grabbed Phantom’s wrist. “Come with me.”
Vandle and Karma tried to stir, but I shook my head. “Only him.”
I heard a low growl, but couldn’t tell where it came from, and it was quickly cut off. They’d all shared me for the whole heat.
It was Phantom’s turn now.
Stumbling to my feet, I pushed past the curtain, my feet sinking into soft fabric. When I reached the door my fingers fumbled with the handle, and Phantom reached around to turn it for me.
“Sure it won’t be too cold out, Little Omega?” he asked.
“I want the hot tub.”
He grinned, opening the door and stepping out first to block me from the cold. We were both completely naked, but therewas no one around for miles, and a million trees between us and anyone else.
