"Well, hey there, Charlie," Austin grins over at us.
"Welcome to the party, asshole!" Noah grins, pumping his fist.
Charlie's head falls back as he laughs. "Happy to be here, douche-nozzle." Nothing but brother affection passes between my three bonded mates.
Just Enzo is left, and then we'll be a fully formed pack.
His eyes bore into me as I sit up, looking at my head alpha. "You…you still want this, right?" I can't help the uncertainty in my voice.
His gaze softens, and he reaches out a hand to me. "Of course I do,reinita. Come here."
Crawling over to him, I watch his eyes darken as he eyes my breasts, having fallen victim to a little thing called gravity.
I climb into his lap, and instantly settle in his hold. "You are my everything. The need that I feel to bond you is more than the need I feel to breathe." His words hold nothing but sincerity, and I believe him, despite his odd behavior.
Enzo is sitting with his back against the pillows of the nest, and I'm sat sideways in his lap, but then he flips us around so I'm on my back and he hovers over me. I've never felt more safe. More protected.
"Are you ready, my love?" he asks, my heart flips in my chest. It's not him telling me he loves me, but it's close.
I nod. "Yes, Enzo. Claim me." Something in my words makes Enzo crack, and he hikes one of my legs over his arm before he slides into me, and my back arches off the bed.
At this angle, his length drags over all the right spots, and before long, I'm panting, hovering dangerously close to the precipice. It doesn't help that I can feel Charlie's, Noah's, and Austin's arousal as they watch. It's like turning everything up to eleven.
Right as I start to clamp down on him, he pushes his knot in, and his teeth pierce the open side of my neck. He's still latched on when I surge forward, catching his shoulder.
Our bond comes to life with a burning inferno of passion and steadiness. Two conflicting forces somehow working together to illustrate the depths of his feelings for me. I feel it then, his love. I know it's there, I just need him to tell me. We tend to eachother's marks for a moment before he pulls back and gives me a small smile, like he knows what I was thinking.
"Your soul is beautiful,reinita," he whispers before leaning down to kiss me.
"So is yours," I whisper back, letting my head fall back as a tear works its way out of my eye.
"What's wrong?" Enzo asks, looking down at me with concern in his eyes.
"Nothing," I sniffle, wiping my nose. "I just…I had given up hope of ever finding a pack. And now I have you guys and you're all bonded to me and perfect, and I'm happy." My smile is so wide it hurts my face, and when Enzo's knot softens, I'm surrounded by my alphas, all touching me in some way, as we fall into a contented sleep.
Chapter 42

My heat lasted for twelve more hours after we bonded, and by the time we came out of it, I was feeling sore, achey, and oh-so-satisfied. I'd never had a heat like this one, and now I have four bonding marks that make me feel like I belong somewhere. They've healed quickly, already having faded to a silvery color.
I didn't even think about any of this during everything, but apparently Enzo had to call the salon and tell them I had gone into heat, and Lilah recognized his voice and told everyone in the salon I'd packed up. My phone is filled with congratulations messages from multiple coworkers.
Enzo also told Titus what was happening, so I have multiple texts from Cady and Wren cheering me on. I grinned at them, shaking my head before typing out a response.
Me
Guess who's all packed up now, bitches!
Cady

Wren
You go, babes! You just won a lifetime supply of alpha dick
