I press my hand against the wall beside his head and step toward him. It's probably the most alpha thing I've ever done in my life.
He shrinks back against the wall, but his eyes beg me to keep going.
I duck my head toward him and my lips graze his. The soft warmth makes my head spin. I want more. More of him, more of his body. I try to reach for him but freeze midway.
Doubt creeps into the back of my mind, and I catch myself checking his expression again. Is he really urging me on with his eyes or is he submitting demurely because that's what omegas are supposed to do? Or maybe he just feels sorry for me?
I know these doubts are baseless. Seth isn't like that in the slightest, but I can't shove them aside. The conflicting thoughts in my head cause my heart to pound, but not in a good way. I can feel the oncoming anxiety, and it’s not something I'm prepared for.
There are questions rising in Seth's face as I hesitate and my sexual hunger subsides. All I can do is shake my head apologetically and flee.

Shocked isn't the word for what I felt when Zach slipped away from me. Part of me truly thought this was going to be the moment when I finally satisfied that deep yearning in the pit of my stomach. Being denied what has become an all-encompassing need inside me was almost enough to bring tears of frustration to my eyes.
My cock is twitching with hunger, and I can smell the scent of my heat wafting off me. Ever since meeting Zach, I've been finding excuses to avoid getting more suppressants. It was only a matter of time before my cycle kick-started and I went into heat again.
But's more than just the blind attraction I felt when I first sensed him.
Now, there's a raw, primal need pulsating within me, and I can't be denied.
With only the barest idea of a plan, I stumble after Zach through the haze of pure lust that has begun to descend over me like a curtain.
As I climb the stairs to the second floor, I begin peeling off my clothing. By the time I reach Zach's bedroom, I'm completely naked and my hole is aching to be filled. He can send me away if he truly doesn't want me, but I'm willing to bet he's just second guessing himself for some reason.
I hesitantly knock on the bedroom door, but he doesn't reply. I'm certain he's inside though, and when I test the knob, it's not locked.
Taking a deep breath, I try to assume the sexiest pose I can as I lean against the door frame and slide my free hand down to caress the aching length of my cock.
The door swings open with one smooth shove, and I find myself staring into Zach's eyes as he sits on the edge of his bed. I can just picture him only moments before with his head in his hands, probably feeling marvelously sorry for himself. Now, his eyes are wide, and he looks like he's at a loss for words. He takes me in, looking me up and down several times before climbing to his feet.
"Seth…" Zach steps toward me but seems hesitant.
I can tell that the scent of my heat and my arousal is getting to him though. His cock is visibly straining against his pants, and his breathing is ragged as he tries to maintain a semblance of composure.
"Zach, whatever else is going on with you right now doesn't matter," I say, quickly cutting him off. "After being around you all day long I feel confident that what I'm feeling toward you is genuine. I don't know what it is, I don't have a word to describe it really, but if I had to guess, I think it might mean we're meant for each other. The only thing I know for sure is that my body is telling me that I need your knot in my hole…and I need it now."
Zach crosses the room in two large strides and pulls me into his arms. His lips claim mine in an instant, and I'm immediately aware of how warm his skin is. I want to feel more of him against me, inside me. I want every bit of him all to myself, and I'm not willing to wait any longer.
"I'm sorry," Zach says as our lips part. "I shouldn't have hesitated before." To my complete surprise, he lifts me into his arms and carries me toward the bed. He's stronger than he looks. Underneath that slender physique and somewhat unkempt exterior, he's still an alpha.
"Don't apologize," I tell him as he deposits me onto the bed. I feel my juices coating the backs of my thighs as my hole eagerly prepares for him. Grinning excitedly, I drop onto my back and lift my legs to show him just how much my body wants him. "I'm ready for you, Zach," I tell him as I slide my hand down and eagerly tease my sopping wet hole. "Do you want to fuck me?"
Zach shudders with delight as he quickly pulls off his clothes. "Yes." He struggles to free himself of his shirt in his excitement. "I want you so badly, Seth. I've wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you."
"Then give me your cock." I'm beginning to descend into an almost mindless desperation that won't be satisfied until I feel his cock within me. "Give it to me. Fill my aching little hole with your big alpha dick. Please, Zach…please…"
As soon as he's free of his clothes, my voice dies away, and I get my first real look at Zach's physique. He's much fitter than I imagined. What I mistook for a slender frame is really a sublimely toned and streamlined body. His muscles remind me of the champion swimmers I've ogled during the summer Olympics.
And his cock…
Zach's throbbing alpha dick is more than ready for me. He climbs onto the bed and kneels between my legs while looking down at me with unbridled lust in his eyes. It's hard to believe this is the same alpha who could barely bring himself to kiss me in the hallway downstairs. And now he’s prepared to plunge his cock into my hole.
"Give it to me…" I whimper as I gaze up at him. "Your cock, I need it inside me." The ache in my ass is almost unbearable at this point. I want to be filled with him, connected to him. My hips buck up off the bed as if trying to urge him to enter me faster.
He grins down at me and bites his lip. A moment later, I feel the head of his cock pressing against me. The thickness tests my ass to its limit as he gently pushes into me. I revel in the feeling as he slides into me fully.
"Oh fuck, Seth." Zach moans as he clutches my hips in both hands to steady himself. "You're so tight. I feel like I'm going to lose it right here."
"Don't do that." I grin up at him. "The fun's just getting started."
To my surprise, Zach leans forward, sliding his arms under me and pulling me close to him. The feeling of his skin against mine is far more sensual than I could have imagined. I'm normally not this sensitive to touch, but apparently, when it comes to Zach, I'm sensitive to everything.
His lips brush mine hesitantly at first and then with more confidence as he moves against me. They're awkward, slow thrusts thanks to the angle, but any movement at all is welcome at this point. Especially as our kiss deepens, and I lose myself in the warmth of his mouth and the sensual dance of his tongue as it parades past my lips and invades my mouth.
All of his timidness and uncertainty has slipped away. Zach is a true alpha in the bedroom, and he shows it as he leads us through this primal dance.
We break from a breathless, needy kiss, and Zach returns to his full height, letting me lay back against the bed. He holds my hips in his hands and begins to thrust with all the power and skill available to him.
The sloppy, wet sounds of our sex fill the room, and I twist my hands into the sheets as I hold on for dear life. I love this feeling, and I want nothing more than for this moment to stretch on as long as possible.
My eager cock is twitching, ready to release my come at the slightest provocation, and it's taking all my willpower to keep from touching it and sending myself over the edge. But I want to prolong this moment and fully focus on everything Zach is doing to me right now.
"Are you ready for this knot?" Zach clutches my thighs in his hands and looks down at me with the primal lust of an alpha taking his omega.
"Yes, god, give me your knot," I beg. "Fill me with your come and knot me, Zach."
My back arches off the bed as I grab my dick, unable to hold back any longer. It only takes a few quick strokes before my balls tighten and come spills across my stoma
ch.
"Yes, that's it. Come for me, Seth. Empty your cock while I fill your ass," Zach coaxes me as he thrusts deeply into me. I can feel his warmth spread through my body as he lets out a throaty growl of satisfaction. I feel the telltale stretch as his knot grows inside me, sealing the gap between us and locking us together both physically and symbolically.
Zach has become my alpha, and I'm now his omega. Whether we expected this or not, our fates are now entwined, and there's no going back.

Zachary
There are few moments in life that can be described as perfect, but this is one of them.
I breathe a deep sigh of relief as I lay in bed beside Seth. He's wrapped in my arms with his head resting on my naked chest. We've been like this for a few hours now, and I don't feel like moving in the slightest.
I'm not even sure how long we spent fucking each other. It seemed like an eternity. I lost count of the number of orgasms I had, but I'm pretty sure it was more than three. Never before have I surrendered myself to anyone so completely. Sex has always been about something purely physical for me. I think that's why I was so reluctant to pursue anything with Seth. I’ve never before experienced something so full of both emotional and physical satisfaction. And I know there's never been a time when I've actually felt like sex was a bonding experience.
I press a soft kiss to the top of Seth's head, and to my dismay, he stirs slightly.
"Did I wake you?" I pull the blankets up around him to stave off any threat of chill. Thankfully, the furnace has continued to behave itself, and the temperature in the house is actually quite pleasant.
"No." He stifles a yawn. "I was just listening to your heartbeat." Seth shifts and props himself up on one elbow. The look on his face makes me think he has something important to say but isn't quite sure how to say it.
I reach out and gently caress the side of his jaw. It's such a simple motion, but it's the first time I've ever done it to anyone. Despite that, it feels so natural that it sends chills down my spine. Everything I do with Seth feels perfect. It's almost as if instinct alone is guiding me through what I need to do.
"Have you…" Seth starts to speak but lapses into silence. He shakes his head apologetically. "I'm sorry, it's kinda difficult for me to put this into words. It sounds silly in my head."
"Just tell me what you're thinking," I coax him. "You didn't laugh at me when I told you I thought my house was haunted. There's no way I'm going to laugh at you. Unless you want me to that is." I offer him a reassuring smile.
He chuckles a little. "Okay, fine. I just…have you ever heard the term 'fated mates?'" He meets my eyes and his expression is shining with sincerity.
"I've heard it, yeah. I'm pretty sure everyone has. But…I thought it was just a myth." I adjust my position slightly, and my body creaks in protest. After such a vigorous workout, every joint and muscle feels like it's reached the point of exhaustion.
"A lot of stuff has happened recently that's made me question whether or not it’s a myth." Seth looks away as he settles back into bed beside me. "My twin, Sean, stumbled into a relationship with two alphas. The way they met, all of them in the right place at the right time, it feels like 'fate' is the only way to describe it. The way he describes what he feels for them…I never really understood it before. I thought he just happened into an unconventional relationship that works despite all odds. But maybe…maybe it works because they were biologically built for one another. Maybe they were fated to be together."
I feel a tightness in my chest as he speaks, and I realize my heart is throbbing in my chest. It's not a panicky flutter but something deeper. What he's saying is resonating with me on a deep level.
"You're saying… You think maybe we're…?" I let the question hang in the air. I don't know why, but I feel like if I say it out loud, I'll break some sort of spell and none of it will actually be true.
"I can't think of anything else that makes sense." Seth is clinging to me like he never wants to let go. "The way we were drawn to each other that night is almost inexplicable. Then there's the fact that the empty, gnawing feeling in my gut is gone now. When I felt your knot inside me, it was like everything was finally the way it was meant to be."
"I'm sorry about that, by the way," I say almost without thinking. "The scent of your heat was driving me wild, and I don't think I could have stopped myself if I tried. I know we haven't really talked about kids…or our relationship, or what we even want to do with our lives moving forward."
"Don't worry. I wasn't going to let you come anywhere else," Seth teases, tapping the tip of my nose with one finger. "If I wind up pregnant from this…so be it, I guess." He chuckles a little uncertainly, but his words satisfy something deep within me.
"I'm really happy to hear you say that." I wrap my arms around him completely and pull him to my chest. "I think…I think you may be right. This fated mate thing is the only explanation that makes sense. I feel closer to you now than I've ever felt to anyone else in my life. I never want to let you go."
"Well, you're going to have to because I reek and need a shower." Seth gently smacks my arm as he disentangles himself from them. I watch mournfully as he crawls out of bed. "Of course, you could always join me."
He winks back at me, and the lusty expression in his eyes makes my exhausted cock twitch. I didn't think there was any way I could get hard again, but for Seth, anything is possible.

Seth
Sudsy water runs down my body as I rinse the shampoo from my hair. The thick steam in the bathroom rises from the almost too hot shower. As I switch off the water, the scent of coffee drifts through the partially open bathroom door.
Over the last several weeks, we’ve fallen into an easy rhythm that suits us well. I've kept up my work at Omega House during the day, and at night, I return to Zach's house. Then, from the moment I cross the threshold, until the sun comes up in the morning, we lose ourselves in one another's arms.
Last night was a particularly athletic session that started in the kitchen and ended with us sprawled on the rug in front of a roaring fire.
I'm pretty sure we've fucked in every single room of his house by now. It never gets old. Never feels any less perfect. I'm his omega, and he's my alpha. Just saying that brings me a deeper calm than I ever thought possible. It's so pronounced that my coworkers all comment on the spring in my step and the smile on my face as I go about my day.
The only negative is that Jason has started avoiding me since I told him about my relationship with Zach. I never use the term "fated mates" around him because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. All I did was mention that I met someone and that's where I've been disappearing to every night. Ever since then, he's pretty much given me the cold shoulder. Losing a friendship like that, especially someone I've known for as long as I've known Jason, hurts. The fact that he won't even tell me what's bothering him hurts even more. I'm still here for him if he ever decides to talk to me again, but I can't hang around and waste energy on a friendship he isn't putting any effort into.
Sean's pretty happy for me though. We went out for coffee last week while his alphas were watching the twins. It was nice to hang out with him again. For so long, it was just us against the world. Now we're both finding the homes we were meant to have.
When I told him what I felt for Zach, he agreed it’s a lot like what he feels toward his alphas. The three of them just fit together so perfectly that they can't imagine living any other way. While I'm confident about the strength of my feelings for Zach, it’s nice to have Sean's testimony to back me up a little.
Other than having sex all the time, working, and meeting up with my brother, Zach and I have been busy trying to get his house in order.
The craziness with the electricity and the furnace hasn't cropped up again, but we are both still a bit nervous about it. As soon as Zach completed some big projects for a couple of very important clients, he was able to replace the furnace with something more modern
and efficient, so at least we don't have to worry about that any time soon. The exterminator also came back and got rid of the mice. It's a welcome change to not hear them scurrying around in the walls after we've gone to bed for the night.
I dry myself off and get dressed before checking my reflection in the bathroom mirror. I've heard people tell me that I've got a 'glow' about me. I wasn't sure what they meant at first, but now I think I'm starting to notice it too. My skin looks radiant, and I feel like I'm walking on clouds.
As I make my way downstairs, I'm greeted by a beautiful breakfast laid out on the coffee table in the living room. Zach doesn't have a dining room table yet, so we make do with what we've got. To be perfectly honest, I don't really mind. It's an extremely laid back and casual atmosphere which describes us perfectly.
"Good morning, sweetheart," says Zach, kissing me softly as I drop onto the sofa beside him. "You're looking sexy as usual." He leans in close and inhales my scent, letting his eyes fall closed as he savors it.
I always blush when he does this. It seems like such a weird thing, but it's an amazing feeling to have an alpha who savors your scent.
"Big day today?" I ask as I pour myself a cup of coffee from the piping hot carafe.
"Not too bad," he reassures me. "I'm just doing some basic diagnostics. I've got a little bit of remote work to do later on as well, but I'll be finished in plenty of time."
I frown and scoot back a little so I can get a good look at him. "In time for what?" As far as I'm aware, we have no plans today.
He grins and takes my free hand in both of his. "For you to officially move in with me."
My breath hitches as my heart lodges in my throat. Technically, I still have a room at Omega House, even though I haven't slept in it for a while now. I eat every meal except lunch at Zach's house. I've even started keeping some clothing here, so I don’t have to change before work every day. Making it official sounds so trivial, but the depth of the offer isn't lost on me. This won't just be Zach's house anymore.
