Chapter 15

Kian and Mason whimpered in pleasure when Blake’s hole squeezed their cocks moments later. Blake shuddered in his and Mason’s arms as the omega climaxed between them. Some of Blake’s warm cum even splashed all the way up onto his hands. He rumbled his approval. It was as if the omega was marking him, as well. His canines returned to their original positions, so he could lap at the mating bite that he gave his omega. His saliva would ensure that the bite didn’t become infected. He noticed Mason doing the same on the other side of Blake’s neck. When he was satisfied, Kian pressed his lips against the back of Blake’s neck for a few seconds.

“Thank you, baby. I love you so much.”

“You’re our omega now, sweetheart,” Mason rasped against the front of Blake’s neck. “I love you. Kee and I are your alphas. We’re going to take care of you.”

“We expect you’ll do the same for us,” Kian added.

Blake nodded. “Thank you, alphas. I love you, too. Both of you.”

No other words were needed for the next several minutes as the three of them nuzzled against one another, so they could scent-mark their mates. Scent-marking was a natural instinct among mates, especially when the bonds were newly formed. Kian couldn’t wait to spread his cum all over Blake and even Mason. He was sure his mates would do the same to him and each other. It was an overwhelming biological urge, which would never disappear for the rest of their lives together, but it would probably calm down after the first month or so. Not that Kian minded smelling like either of his mates. He was looking forward to the process.

When he and Mason managed to pull their dicks out from inside Blake, Kian tried to be as gentle as possible as he laid the drowsy omega on the bed. He took the left spot next to Blake while Mason occupied the other side. That was another natural occurrence among new mates, especially when alphas and omegas were involved. Alphas had an overpowering drive to protect their omegas almost all the time. It would also fade after a month, but Kian was aware his and Mason’s instincts would be on high alert over the next four, five weeks. On the other hand, Blake would feel the constant need to be extremely close to him and Mason. He slung one arm around Blake right underneath Mason’s before closing his eyes. He inhaled the scents of his mates. Within seconds, he drifted off into dreamland. 9

“Do you feel any different now you’re mated?”

Blake snorted at James as the two of them packed up all of Blake’s stuff in his apartment. “Yes and no. Subconsciously, I’m aware that I’m now a mated omega. I can also feel my alphas through my bond if they happen to experience any sort of intense emotion, but otherwise I don’t feel much of a difference. We were bonded last night, so I still felt the overwhelming desire to be with them twenty-four-seven. They must be feeling the same thing. It wasn’t debilitating or anything like that, though. I can function just fine, and so can they.”

“Huh.”

He stopped putting things in the box and faced James. “What?”

James shrugged. “I’ve always wondered if the bond will be so much more powerful between an alpha and an omega.”

Blake rolled his eyes. “It will be stronger between an alpha-omega pairing compared to an alpha-beta pairing. We learned that in high school, James. Why are you asking about it anyway?”

James didn’t respond for a while, so Blake ignored his best friend in favor of continuing with the packing. Since his lease on the apartment was on a monthly basis, he didn’t have to worry about contracts. All he had to do was clean the apartment and return the keys. He’d always been a neat and clean person, so he didn’t have to worry about the final inspection before the management refunded his deposit.

“Do you think Tony will want an omega mate?” James inquired all of a sudden.

Blake stared at James. “I don’t know. Have you talked to him?”

“I wanted to do that so many times, but I was terrified of hearing the reply.”

“Why? Are you concerned Tony will stop loving you? Your alpha loves you, you moron. I like Tony, but his love for you borders on obsession. I could never be happy with an alpha like Tony. He’s too…too clingy. He calls or sends you text messages at least once every twenty minutes. He puts his arms around your waist every time we hang out together. He’s always tense when the three of us are in a bar, a diner, or anywhere else outside of your house because he doesn’t like the scents of so many other alphas and betas anywhere near you. He’s so into you his eyes are practically glued to you most of the time. I think it’s creepy.”

James sighed. “You’re right. Maybe I’m just being stupid.”

“No, you’re not. You love him just as much. The two of you are made for each other. The kind of relationship you share with him would never work for me, though.”

“He thinks you’re pretty,” James teased.
