Page 36 of His Bonded Omega Mate
“We are bonding today!” I sang. “Go shower. Let’s have some food and do this! Wake up Asher!” I extricated myself from Roan’s arms to run to the kitchen. We needed a fuel stop before we could bond. Roan and Tate needed to clear their day, as I’d go into heat after Roan bit me.
My mate followed me into the kitchen, his phone at his ear. “Hey, Blake. I know you don’t want Kade to know about my mate situation with everything that’s happening, but I’m giving you the heads up that we are all going to be bonding today.” There was silence while Roan listened to whatever Blake was saying. I loved the relationship that Roan had with our alpha.
“I mean, it’s up to you if you tell him, but it might stress him out. Since the attack, he has had enough to deal with. He can’t look me in the eye. I get he feels guilty about me being hurt, but I miss my best friend.” More silence, and Roan nodded. “Maybe it’ll prompt him to visit. Okay, you’re the boss, just don’t blame me when he pesters you all day.” I heard Blake’s laugh. Roan chuckled with him, then ended the call.
He kissed my cheek and moved to the fridge. “That’s my day clear. Let me help make breakfast.”
An hour later, we were all fed and showered and on the enormous bed that dominated the bedroom I’d been sleeping in.
“How’s this going to go?” Tate asked nervously.
Glancing at their necks, I saw the missing bite marks from their previous bond. The skin was clear and perfectly healed thanks to another potion from Poppy. While Roan and I had discussed how things were going to go, we’d let Tate and Asher have time to themselves to dissolve their bond in the shower. It was a private moment, a decision that only they could make. It cemented my resolve, though, knowing that they wanted this so badly that they were willing to take this risk with us.
We knew they could re-bond later if this all went to shit. Only Roan and I couldn’t. Fated mates couldn’t end their bond.
I shared a glance with Roan. “Well, Roan and I are going to bite each of you first. Then you will bite us both. Then each other. We have to do this quickly. While you are doing your part, me and Roan will exchange bites. I’ll go into heat then, so we’ll consummate our bonds, however it feels natural.”
Asher nodded and pulled off his shirt. “Bite me first, please. If it doesn’t work —“
I understood he wanted it to be tested on himself to save Tate from any pain. Together, me and Roan stripped down and moved close to Asher.
“On three. One. Two. Three.” Roan guided me to Asher’s left while he took the right. We bit down together, making Asher bite back a cry. His blood flooded my mouth. I swallowed automatically. Asher bit my neck, close to the juncture of my shoulder, and a bond flickered to life. I heard Roan gasp when Asher bit him.
It worked!Asher’s mental voice was slightly hollow compared to his proper voice.Can you hear this Tate?I guessed he was checking we weren’t just using the pack link. There was nothing from Tate. Not even a sense he was there, just walled off.
“It worked, Tate!” Asher told a worried-looking Tate aloud.
“Me next!” he demanded.
We repeated the process, Tate placing his bite just below Asher’s. Mine was on the opposite side of Tate’s neck to his bite from Asher and placed below the other man’s. Roan had done the same, carefully avoiding the other claim with his bite.
I could hardly believe that we’d managed it. We’d bonded to both of the betas! It was unheard of for a beta/omega or beta/alpha bond to work. The Luna was blessing us with this gift. Now all we had to do was complete our own bond and make the circle complete.
“You ready?” Roan checked in with me before leaning in. The betas had marked one side of my neck, leaving the other clear for my alpha.
“I am.”
Getting into position, Roan kissed where he’d place his mating mark before he bit down. I found the spot that I wanted my mark to sit on his skin and did the same. Another taste of blood and the link snapped into place.
It was immediately clear that my bond with Roan was stronger, but I didn’t voice my concern. Neither did Roan, for which I was grateful.
Tate and Asher finished renewing their bond, ending it in a scorching kiss.
The familiar rising burn of heat hit and there was a momentary flash of panic. “Hey, there. It’s okay. It’s just us,” Roan soothed, picking up on my distress. A minute in and he was winning at this mating stuff. He drew me into his arms and kissed me soundly.
I heard Tate and Asher kissing again and broke from Roan. “I’m going to need your knot soon, but how about I play with Asher and you play with Tate until it gets too much for me?”
“Anything for you.” Roan kissed my nose and crawled over the bed to our beta mate to take his mouth in a filthy kiss.
Asher’s lips met mine. I reached for the waistband of his sweats, pushing them down over his ass and cupping the cheeks. “I need you already.”
“Already?” He raised his eyebrows.
“This much sexy in one room? Seeing you fuck our mate yesterday with only my hand to keep me company? Yeah, already. I need you, then Tate, and then finally to feel Roan’s knot.”
“Goddess, Sunshine, you need to feel it.” Tate groaned as Roan opened him up with his mouth and fingers. “His tongue is sinful!”
I wasn’t lying about needing to be filled. The burn was spreading. “Now Asher!” I demanded.
