CHAPTER 5 HARDEN
Chapter 5 Harden
After a week of evading everyone and keeping the mind-link closed I returned as if nothing happened. My family tried to hit me with a barge of questions, but I told everyone I was not ready to talk about it. I came back for one reason my cousin, the closest to me, his birthday was tomorrow, and I wouldn’t hurt him. I could smell him standing outside my door after I got out of a long shower.
“Ethan, you know you can come in right.”
I could hear him sigh with relief as he came into my room, and we held each other.
“I’m sorry snowflake.”
He was the only one to call me that because the birthmark on my shoulder blade looks just like a snowflake.
“I missed you firefly.”
He sniffed my neck.
“You smell a little different.”
“And you smell like you’re about to go into a heat.”
Ethan was an omega all she-wolves no matter her bloodline can go into heat. Alphas, Betas, and regular wolves rut, but omega males go into heat like she-wolves. We both experienced our heats together. No one knows that we would sneak off to help each other get through it. He looked away, he seemed nervous.
“Maybe but I wasn’t sure if I should mention it, I wasn’t sure we would be hooking up again considering you found your mate.”
“Well let’s not overthink it let's get dressed and celebrate your birthday.”
His face lit up as he ran to his room making me grin.
I took him out to dinner and then we snuck off to one of the Omega cabins. I know what you are thinking ewwww that is your cousin. He is technically, but no blood relation so there is no incest going on but as far as the pack is concerned, we are cousins it was almost midnight when I gave him his gift. I bought us matching rings two halves of opal set in white gold. It reminded me of the locket that I can’t look at now without crying. But I had this made weeks ago before my birthday mate debacle. I had it inscribed.
“So, what do you think?”
He read the inscription.
“My Omega firefly…I love it.”
I slipped mine on
“I was scared you would hate me for finding my mate.”
“Why?”
“Because when we started this at the same time, I started with Tristan you would get so jealous and angry and throw tantrums. Not as much as with my human boyfriends but still.”
He turned away.
“I know and I don’t know why, I know we agreed to keep it open, and we had to be a secret, but I didn’t want you to love him more than me.”
“Such a big baby. I don’t know why, but I have always been drawn to you both I feel like you are almost equal in my heart.”
He sighed.
“Do not be that way my omega. You have something he has never had you have seen my wolf.”
That gets me a big cheesy grin and a hug.
“You know I never did hook up with anyone else I’ve only ever been with you.”
“I know Ethan. You shouldn’t I am not worth it.”
He cupped my face with both hands.
“You are worth everything and more times four.”
I smile at the little line he has been chanting to me since we were young. And when midnight hit the unexpected knocked the wind out of me both of us paused before exclaiming
“MATE!”
“MATE!”
“But how?”
I asked, I still felt my bond with Tristan intact it felt heavy, and it burned from the distance from me avoiding him, but it was still there.
“Maybe you have multiple mates its rare, but it happens mostly with purebloods and royals.”
“That makes sense. My cheeks hurt though from how happy I am that you are truly mine Ethan.”
He licked his lips staring at mine.
“Show me how happy my Alpha my Mate.”
Chuckling, I pushed him down on the blankets we laid out in front of the fireplace leaning over I kissed his cheek and jaw making a path down his neck.
“Dirty omega is this the mate bond in need or your heat?”
He groaned at my teasing feather-like kisses.
“Both. I need you.”
He tried to pull me closer, but I was in control.
“Tsk…Tsk…. Tsk…. You know I am the one in control.”
I pin his arms over his head straddling him.
“Yes, Alpha I’m all yours I’ll be your good little omega.”
Grinding on his already rock-hard bulge he squirmed under me desperately.
“When was the last time I gave you a release?”
“Too long Alpha almost seven weeks. Please.”
His whimpers became desperate as he became wet, I could scent his slick soaking his boxers.
“Maybe I should put you out of your misery….”
He nodded eagerly.
“Or maybe I should leave you to suffer….”
I pretended to start to climb off.
“NOOOOOO!!!!! PLEASE FUCK ME ALPHA!!”
“Well since you asked so nicely.”
I leaned forward and kissed him deeply and passionately. Undressing us both, I lock eyes with him stroking him.
“My mate my omega, my love I’ve missed you.”
“OH GOD, I have missed you too. Please put me inside of you.”
I straddled him again sliding down slowly inch by inch his hips jerked every time I clenched. We spent hours together when he wasn’t inside of me, I had my strap-on buried deep inside of him I felt our bond strengthening the tether between us stronger, but it would not snap into place until we marked each other which would have to wait.
Tristan
I had not heard from Kay since she stormed out laying in my bed my wolf started clawing inside of me trying to get out. What was happening with her right now that was driving him insane……
