Madi still has tears streaming down her face when she turns her head towards me and I press our foreheads together, breathing each other in. She starts to undo the buckles of Alric’s pants so I hold her hand to stop her, causing her to whimper, and the sound breaks my heart. “I know, sweetheart. Let’s get you to Omega’s Comfort, okay? Then you can have all the dick you want.”
Madi moans, humping Alric’s thigh.
The Omega Protection Services finally arrives, the officers coming to the ambulance and trying to enter our space to ask us questions, but Alric snarls at them and they scramble back.
Hunter steps up to the edge, staring down at them. “The owner of that business kidnapped our omega during her heat. He’s dead now,” he says, then slams the back doors in their faces.
He returns to us, cupping Madi’s face for a passionate kiss. Alric and I breathe a collective sigh of relief once the nurse decides Madi is alright, and we start to move.
“Madeline’s stress levels are getting dangerously high.” The nurse presses a button and the gurney starts to lower to the floor. “Do what you need to do to calm her down, we will be at Omega’s Comfort in ten minutes.” She slides a plastic partition shut to give us the illusion of privacy.
Hunter and I collapse on the floor so all of us are together there, desperate to keep Madi close as we speed away. Madi starts to kiss my face over and over again, trying to take off my clothes. I slip my hands between her underwear and her pajama bottoms, rubbing the fabric where her clit is to try and give her some relief. Her eyes roll back, hips rocking with pleasure as she moans. Hunter sucks on her neck in the spot he knows she loves and cups one breast, massaging it.
She comes on my hand, only stopping briefly for her orgasm before her hips keep up again, rubbing against my fabric-covered fingers. Thankfully, it's enough to keep her at bay until we finally arrive at Omega’s Comfort, where a whole medical team is waiting. Omega Protection Services is right behind us.
Hunter and I brief them on what happened as Madi and Alric are rolled into a room. She slips in and out of reality, muttering to herself about knots with a dazed expression. Her wide eyes are terrified as the room fills with people and she clings even tighter to Alric.
I hate that she won’t remember most of the next few days, too lost in her heat to experience how treasured and loved she will be. I want her present and in her right mind.
A doctor arrives. “Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Rose. I’m Miss Hayes’s omega specialist.”
Madi physically relaxes when her doctor arrives and mumbles something about a shot against my chest.
“Madeline, if you can understand me, I’m going to give you a shot of something that will help reduce your heat symptoms for a few minutes, alright?”
My omega starts to shake violently, more tears streaming down her face, attempting to move away from her doctor, who seems even more concerned now.
“No shot,” Madi manages to get out, grabbing her arm. “He…gave…me…one.”
Alric growls, holding her tighter, looking like something out of a horror movie. What the fuck did Jensen give her? I want him brought back to life so I can kill him this time.
Dr. Rose softly places her hand on Madi’s arm. “I’m so sorry that happened. I’m going to be very gentle, like I was last time we saw each other. We have a few questions for you and it’s very important you have a clear head for it. It’s going to feellike you’ve been given a shot of adrenaline. So a racing heartbeat and tingling hands or feet are totally normal. You are safe here.”
It takes a second, but Madi nods, squeezing her eyes shut, Alric whispering what a good girl she is being. She holds out her arm with a sniffle and lets her doctor give her a small shot of something.
She bolts upright, breathing heavily with a slightly panicked expression, but clarity has returned to her eyes.
“Oh fuck, that was terrible,” Madi says, rubbing her head.
“We only have a few minutes. Were you harmed in any way?”
“He gave me a shot to make my heat start faster, but I wasn’t there long enough for any physical harm. Thanks to them.” Her grateful expression when she glances at me makes me swell with pride that we were able to protect our omega.
“I’m glad to hear that. The shot we gave you will counteract what he gave you, but your heat will be starting naturally very soon.”
Everyone besides us, Dr. Rose, and one of the nurses filters out of the room once Madi is assessed by the medical team.
“Please call Harper, my emergency contact, as soon as possible and tell her I’m okay! Tell her everything!”
“We will,” Dr. Rose says. “Now, normally, there would be a much longer consultation about what you will and won’t allow during your heat. Do you have any hard limits that your alphas need to be aware of?”
Madi looks at all of us with a peaceful expression that makes my heart soar. “No, I trust them. They know what I like.”
“Even knots?” Hunter asks hopefully, wiggling his eyebrows, knowing exactly what to say to break the tension.
Madi laughs, and it’s the most beautiful sound. “Well, I’venever been knotted before so if I hate it, no, but if I ask for it and enjoy it, yes.”
He makes a celebratory gesture that amuses us all.
