Chapter 53 FRENZY
Kael's knot throbbed inside Adam, pulsing with each spurt of cum that filled his mate's battered channel. The Alpha's heavy body pinned Adam to the mattress, their sweat-slicked forms heaving in unison as the alpha's growls softened into contented rumbles. Minutes stretched into what felt like an eternity, the tie holding them locked in intimate stillness. Adam's rim clenched weakly around the swollen base, the tear there stinging with fresh intensity from the stretch, but the warmth of Kael's seed offered a fleeting balm against the raw ache.
Finally, the knot began to deflate, Kael's cock slipping free with a wet pop that left Adam gasping. A gush of cum and blood trickled out, soaking the already stained sheets, but Adam remained silent, his arms still looped around the Alpha's neck. Kael nuzzled his face into the crook of Adam's shoulder, licking away the remnants of tears with slow, gentle swipes of his tongue. “My brave one,” he murmured, voice husky from exertion. “You've given me everything.” His hand roamed softly now, tracing the curve of Adam's spine, careful not to press too hard on the bruises blooming across his hips.
Adam managed a weak smile, his body limp and boneless beneath the alpha. Exhaustion clawed at him, every inch of his skin hypersensitive, but the tenderness in Kael's touch reignited a spark of warmth in his chest. “I want to,” he whispered, fingers threading through the thick fur at Kael's nape. “For you. Always.” He shifted slightly, wincing at the sharp pull in his ass, but he buried the pain, focusing instead on the steady beat of Kael's heart against his own.
Hours had blurred together, leaving Adam limp and boneless against the bed, his human body utterly spent beneath the weight of Kael’s frenzy. The wild edge had finally drained from Kael’s eyes, horror replacing it as awareness returned. He pulled back at once, hands shaking. “Baby… I’m sorry,” he said hoarsely. “I lost myself. I was too rough.”
Adam managed a tired smile, reaching for him despite the ache in every limb. “You weren’t,” he murmured. “And even if you were, I don’t care. I want to stay. I’m not leaving you alone through the rut.”
Something in Kael softened at that. He lowered himself carefully, stroking Adam’s hair, his touch gentler now, reverent. “You shouldn’t have to endure this,” he whispered, pressing soft kisses to Adam’s temple, his cheek, his mouth. “You’re too good to me.” Adam hummed, eyes slipping closed as Kael’s voice washed over him with quiet praise and warmth.
When Adam’s stomach growled weakly, Kael forced himself to stand. Fully naked and unsteady, he crossed the room and grabbed the food tray the servant girls had left hours earlier, before everything had spiraled. He brought it back to the bed, sat beside Adam, and fed him slowly, bite by bite, murmuring encouragement until Adam had eaten what he could. Kael ate too, though neither of them finished. The rest was pushed aside, forgotten.
Kael climbed back under the covers and pulled Adam close, wrapping himself around him protectively. Adam sighed, melting into the embrace, and Kael held him there, rocking slightly, whispering soft, steady words until the room went quiet again and the world narrowed to nothing but warmth, breath, and the promise of getting through the night together.
The peace shattered abruptly when another wave crashed over Kael. His body stiffened, a low whine escaping his throat as his cock hardened against Adam's thigh, already leaking pre-cum. “Mate…” Kael's voice cracked, apology and hunger warring in his tone. His paws, once gentle, gripped tighter, kneading the flesh of Adam's hips as he shifted atop him again.
Adam's eyes snapped open, heart pounding. “It's okay,” he breathed, spreading his legs despite the protest of his muscles. Fresh tears welled as Kael's tip nudged his entrance, the slick mix of previous loads easing the way but doing nothing for the tear that split further under pressure. The Alpha thrust in with a guttural moan, burying himself to the hilt in one forceful push, his balls slapping against Adam's ass.
Pain lanced through Adam like fire, his cry echoing off the walls as Kael's hips pistoned wildly. The alpha's tongue dragged across his chest, lapping at a nipple before moving to suckle greedily, teeth grazing the sensitive peak. Groans vibrated from Kael's chest, animalistic and unrestrained, as he rutted deep, his cock grinding mercilessly against Adam's swollen prostate. Each hit sent shockwaves of overstimulation ripping through the human's body; no release, just endless, dry convulsions that left him arching and sobbing.
Adam clung to Kael's shoulders, nails digging into skin as he rocked back to meet the brutal pace. His hole gaped around the invading shaft, loose and wrecked, blood seeping anew to lubricate the frenzy.
“Yes... take it,” he gasped through gritted teeth, voice hoarse. The agony blurred with the fierce love binding them, urging him to give more, to be the anchor in Kael's storm.
Kael's pace turned frenzied, his muzzle burying in Adam's neck as he licked and nipped, marking his mate with possessive fervor. “Need you... fuck, so tight,” he snarled, even as Adam's body yielded completely. His thrusts grew erratic, hips slamming forward until the knot swelled once more, catching on the ruined rim with a burn that made Adam scream. Locked again, Kael came with a howl, flooding Adam's insides until it leaked out in crimson-tinged rivulets.
Adam's world narrowed to the pounding of his pulse, the weight of his alpha, the unyielding grip of endurance. He'd hold on, no matter how many waves, until the rut broke.
The haze left Kael's vision, and he pressed a series of soft kisses along Adam's jaw, then down to his collarbone, each one laced with murmured praises. “So strong, my love. So perfect.” The Alpha's tail thumped lazily against the bed, a sign of sated affection. He rolled them gently to the side, keeping Adam cradled against his chest, one hand stroking the human's damp hair. The room smelled of sex and blood and the faint remnants of the uneaten meal, but at this moment, it felt like sanctuary.
They lay like that for a while, breaths syncing as Adam's tremors eased into quiet shudders. Kael's free hand dipped lower, cupping Adam's ass cheek with feather-light care, thumb brushing the edge of the inflamed rim without probing. “Rest now,” Kael said, his voice a soothing growl. But even as the words left his muzzle, Adam felt the subtle tension coiling in the Alpha's muscles; it's the rut lurking, waiting to surge again.
Adam nodded, eyes fluttering shut as sleep evaded him. The soreness in his body throbbed relentlessly, his prostate a bruised knot of nerves that sent phantom jolts through his core with every shift. He pressed closer to Kael, inhaling the musky scent of his mate, drawing strength from the bond. However long this will last, he'd endure it. For Kael. For them.
