Page 81 of Knot Cursed

Her final orgasm was slow and lazy, building subtly until it struck. Her moan broke off into a sob as she shattered for me so beautifully, the bond wide open and showing me every ounce of vulnerability that she usually tucked away.

I could see every part of my omega now. The strength she clung to. The kindness that radiated out of her in every interaction. The frustration at the world for treating her this way. There was also a hint of insecurity that all of us cursed held close to our chest.

One day with the help of Rock and Merrick, I hoped we’d find a way out of this cursed place.

Until then, I’d remind her every day how perfect she was. Make her feel sexy and beautiful.

Rook would praise her intelligence and give her the pushback she needed to challenge her intellectually.

And Merrick would be there to keep her soft and sweet.

She might not realize just yet how much my life now centered around her, but she’d feel it the moment she claimed me back.

When I came again, my knot finally started to deflate. She was able to pull away enough to flip around. Her violet eyes flashed with hunger before she lunged, biting me right against my collarbone.

The bond strengthened further, giving her an equal view into my soul. It was such an intense moment, two lives tying together for the first time, showcasing everything that we’d always hidden from everyone else.

We could never hide from each other again.

I’d never known what it was like to truly let someone in until now and I found myself hungry for more of it. I wanted to give her every piece of me and hold all of her jagged pieces in return.

Iliked watching the beta take my omega more than I realized. My cock was throbbing, but that was likely due to her overwhelming, perfect scent. I stroked myself as she latched eyes on us, then came on a cry.

They were bonded now.

Merrick rolled away and Dorian lunged for her before I even realized what was happening. I knew he would never hurt her but I hoped to the gods he’d make sure he took her slow. His wolf knot was nothing to joke about.

The beta pulled on boxers and walked away as soon as Dorian started to fuck Prue. I stood for a minute longer, watching her look so relaxed and happy. It didn’t matter who gave her that look as long as she had it.

She deserved peace.

I slipped away, unashamed of my nakedness. It seemed silly to pull on clothes when I knew my omega would need me soon enough.

“It felt like they needed a minute,” I said as I joined him in the kitchen. He turned around then smacked a hand over his eyes. “May as well get used to it, beta. You’re going to see a whole lot of us over the next week.”

“What the hell even happened at the magistrate?” he demanded, forgetting about his modesty. “She said her heat wasn’t due for a few months. Then something about a heat curse?”

“I gathered that someone in town is accidentally sending omegas into heat, no matter when their last one hit. Just like Prue.”

“They called her into the magistrate over it,” Dorian said. “That has to be why she went in.”

“It was,” I confirmed. “Despite my protests, they thought she had to be the one since no new curses have shown up since Dorian came to town.”

“Love that it happened right under the magistrate’s noses. They deserve to be humbled a bit. Can’t blame her when she’s now in a full-blown heat in there,” he bit out as he started to pull things out of the fridge.

Thank god, we had just gone grocery shopping and had supplies here.

“If we need anything more, we can add it to the list. She’s got a list on the fridge and I’ll order it up between rounds,” I offered.

Merrick braced his hands on the counter and lowered his head. “I can’t help but feel like this is all wrong. She deserves to be in control of her body. I know she wants us and she wants us to help her through the heat, but now two of us have claimed her, you’ll be claiming her soon enough, and there’s no going back now. It feels like we rushed through it.”

“There was never any going back for any of us,” I said with a shrug. He glared at me but I didn’t give in. “Tell me I’m wrong.”

The beta stared at me. I could see the fight within his eyes, but it slowly faded away, and he sagged against the counter.

“I never want to be away from her again, but I didn’t want to do it like this,” he admitted in defeat.

“We will have plenty more heats to make it up to her,” I promised. “Right now, she chose us and she needs us to get her through this. More courting can happen afterward.”
