  “I think you should tell Ken what you told me,” Mason said quietly, looking me in the eyes.

  Ken’s face was full of concern and anxiety. “What’s going on? Wesley? Mason said there was something important I needed to hear. Are you okay?”

  “I…” I looked back and forth between them. Mason wasn’t going to let this go until I told the entire truth, if I was ready to tell it or not. I had no doubts that he would be the one to tell Ken if I didn’t. My throat tightened.

  Ken came over to my side and put a hand on my shoulder. “Wesley, whatever it is, you can tell me. I’m listening.”

  Mason was still staring at me with eyes like lasers. I couldn’t escape this situation. Ken suddenly noticed the dagger-like way Mason was looking at me and he furrowed his brow.

  “If it's easier for you to speak, Mason can step out of the room,” Ken said, half to me and half to Mason.

  “Fine,” Mason muttered. “But be sure he tells you the whole truth.”

  He left after that. Ken sighed. “Sorry about him. He’s a little cranky sometimes.” He put his whole arm around me reassuringly, then gasped. “You’re burning up. Hang on.”

  He quickly unbuttoned the front of my shirt with skilled fingers and let the shirt fall off. I tried not to shiver at the way his fingertips brushed my skin. “You don’t need to wear so much clothing when you’re in your heat. You’ll overheat.” He sighed. “Now what is it Mason wants you to tell me so badly?”

  I clutched the hem of his sleeve like a child holding onto a comfort item. “Promise you won’t get mad.”

  “I promise.”

  Forcing myself to meet his gaze, I lifted my face. Ken’s expression was so gentle and supportive. I let out a shaky sigh.

  “When you found me on the border that day, I wasn’t abandoned there because I hadn’t had my first heat yet,” I said. “I was abandoned there, beat up, on purpose. So that you might find me.”

  “Me?” Ken asked. “Why?”

  “You’re going to get angry.”

  “I won’t,” he said firmly. “Wesley, please just tell me.”

  “I was sent here on purpose. By Gunner. I was given a mission - to infiltrate this pack and… destroy it from the inside out.”

  Ken blinked slowly. “What?”

  “I - I was supposed to use you to get to him. The top alpha here, I mean. Except there isn’t one here, which isn’t what I was told. So now I have no clue what to do. And it’s not like I wanted to hurt you, or the top alpha, I didn’t really want to hurt anyone, but I had no choice. Gunner was going to kill me if I said no. He already almost did kill me, before you found me and took me in.”

  I found myself suddenly shaking and on the verge of tears. I didn’t realize how horrible it felt to keep all of this bottled up until now. But was it worth telling the truth? I looked up at Ken with anxiety, wondering how much less he thought of me now.

  “What do you mean Gunner would kill you if you said no?” Ken asked quietly.

  The memory made me shiver. “He called me in and asked if I would do anything for the pack, and naturally I said yes… It was already too late by then. If I said no, he would’ve probably killed me on the spot. And now, since there’s no top alpha, he’s probably going to kill me anyway because I couldn’t accomplish anything.”

  “So they beat you up that badly because they wanted me to find you?” Ken asked. “Why me?”

  “Gunner told me about an unmated alpha doctor,” I said, unable to look at him. “He wanted me to use you to get to Indigo Mountain’s top alpha. He wanted me to… seduce you, if it meant getting closer to my goal.”

  Ken didn’t speak for a while. Then he said quietly, “So that’s why you were so insistent on being intimate.”

  “But - it’s not like it was all fake,” I said quickly, grasping his wrist. I was aware of how cool and comfortable his skin felt compared to mine, which was burning up.

  “Is that true?” Ken asked.

  “Yes,” I said desperately. “Please, you have to believe me. I don’t have anyone in this world anymore. I can’t go back to my old pack, and I don’t even want to…” The tears fell freely from my eyes now. I couldn’t hold anything back. I felt like such a disaster, useless, unable to do anything properly…

  Ken suddenly embraced me. His body was cool and soothed the horrible fire burning under my skin. I wanted to be closer to him.

  “I’m sorry all of this happened to you,” Ken murmured in my ear. “It sounds like a really hard situation.”

  My throat was tight, and I couldn’t speak. I just cried silently as Ken held me. When my tears finally stopped, I pulled away, feeling disgusting and hot and just wanting to melt into the bed.

  “You should go back to your friends,” I said, unable to look at him. “They’re gonna be worried that you’ve been alone for so long with a traitor like me.”

  “You are not a traitor,” Ken growled.

  “I am. Mason was right,” I said, shaking my head. “If there was a top alpha here, I would have… gone through with my mission. I would have used you.”

  “But you didn’t.”

  “But I would have.”

  Ken growled. “How do you know that? Wesley, the truth is that you’re sitting in front of me right now and you haven’t done anything wrong. Mason is just paranoid because something similar happened to a friend of his, but the situations aren’t the same. Forget what he said.” He grasped me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. “I believe in you. Okay?”

  “Ken…”

  “Let me ask you a question. What do you want to do now?”

  I blinked slowly. What did I want to do?

  “I don’t know what you mean,” I said.

  “Well, you’re obviously not going back to Gunner or Scarlet Ridge,” Ken growled. “I’ll make sure of that. I’ll fight them off myself if I have to.”

  “What?” I said again, more worked up. “I - you still want me to stay here in Indigo Mountain?”

  “Have you been listening to a word I said?” Ken muttered. “Of course I want you here.”

  “But after everything I’ve done - “

  I couldn’t finish my sentence because Ken crushed his lips against mine. I made a tiny muffled sound before melting into the kiss. Electricity prickled over my skin, making me hyper-sensitive to everything. I’d never been kissed before and didn’t know how to react. It ended almost as soon as it started, with Ken pulling away before I could make sense of what was going on.

  “Sorry,” he said. “I just couldn’t stand to hear you talking like that anymore.”

  “That’s okay,” I said breathlessly. “Does that mean you’re not angry?”

  He growled softly. “Of course not.”

  “What about you being a doctor and me being a patient and whatnot?”

  “Can you walk?” he asked.

  I thought about it. “I mean, not right now, because my body is aching and I don’t want to move, but… Yeah, I guess I can.”

  “Then you’re officially discharged from my care,” he said. “You’re no longer my patient.”

  “So… I guess this means there’s nothing stopping us from doing this, right?” I asked.

  A slightly smug smile tugged at his lips. “I suppose not.”

  He took me by the shoulders and gently pushed me down on my back. He straddled my waist, which made my cock twitch violently. I let out a small whimper at the sudden sensation.

  Ken paused. “Are you okay with this? I mean, we don’t have to do this. You can get through your heat without me -”

  “Oh, shut up,” I snapped. “I want you, okay? Not some stupid dildo. Did you miss the whole part of my sad story where I said I liked you?”

  That shut him up. With a small grin, he leaned forward to kiss me again. This time he went deeper, teasing my mouth open with his tongue and exploring the wet heat of my mouth. I couldn’t help a high-pitched whine in the back of my throat. The sensation shot right down to my d
ick, which was hardening already. He must have felt it, because his own cock began to grow stiff and the only thing between them was the fabric of our pants.

  Suddenly the heat was unbearable. The only thing that brought relief was Ken’s cool bare skin against mine, and I needed more of it. I growled and nearly ripped the buttons off his shirt, then pointed with a grunt to his pants.

  “You want them off?” he asked. He sat up and undid them until he was only wearing his briefs. I nearly started drooling at the shape of his hard cock straining against the white fabric. Without thinking, I ripped off my own pants and underwear. The cool air of the room felt mildly nice against my burning skin, but the only thing that was truly relieving was Ken. I grabbed him and pulled him back on top of me and instantly sighed. It was like ice against my fire.

  “Does that feel better?” he asked with a knowing smile.

  “Yeah,” I said honestly. “But it’s still not enough.”

  “You know, the only thing proven to sate that feeling is intercourse,” he said matter-of-factly.

  “Then hurry up and intercourse with me,” I growled.

  He kissed me again, but this time he ground his hips against mine. The sensation of his hard, still-clothed cock brushing up against my bare one made me yelp into his mouth. A shudder ran down the length of my body. I didn’t know how badly I needed this until now. I wiggled my hips up, wanting more of his touch.

  With a deep growl, Ken reached down and ripped his briefs off. His fully hard cock sprang free and my eyes were glued to it instantly. It was huge and throbbing and it made me bite my lip in anticipation. Could something that big really fit inside me?

  I was suddenly aware of my body’s temperature again. I was burning up, desperate for some kind of relief. My body ached with need, and I didn’t understand what it was until right now - it needed to be filled and fucked.

  “Please,” I whimpered.

  “What do you want?” Ken asked firmly.

  “I want your cock inside me.”

  He smirked. “We’ll take it slow.”

  “I don’t want to take it slow,” I grumbled. “I feel like I’m dying.”

  “I know,” he said reassuringly. “Just bear with me…”

  He reached down and pressed the tip of his finger against my hole. I gasped. To my surprise, it felt wet there, which was something I’d never experienced in my life. Was this part of my heat?

  Ken pressed his finger deeper inside, slowly. It was tortuously slow and it took every ounce of effort not to push myself further onto him. When he was finally up to his knuckle, he added a second finger, pushing past the ring of tight muscle. My toes curled and I held my breath. It still wasn’t enough. I could only lay there and whimper as his fingers pushed inside my ass.

  I gasped again, loudly, when his other hand went to my dick. His fingers curled around my sensitive skin and it was all I could do not to cry out. Grinding my teeth together, I laid there pathetically as he stroked my shaft and teased my ass.

  “Enough,” I muttered. “I can’t take this anymore. I need the real thing.”

  “Are you sure?”

  I grabbed his arms and dug my nails into his skin, growling, “Yes!”

  “Bossy little omega,” he said with a smirk. “Alright. Get ready to be fucked.”

  A chill ran down my spine.

  Ken aligned the head of his cock with my hole. I was nearly shaking in anticipation. Slowly, he pushed inside. My breathing grew short and shallow, and I held it as he thrust slowly deeper. His huge cock stretched me open, pushing deeper inside my ass until I thought I was going to pass out from holding my breath.

  “Breathe,” he ordered me.

  I whimpered and forced myself to do so. He was only halfway inside me, and still had a ways to go.

  “Do you want me to pull out?” he asked.

  “No!” I snapped, almost loud enough to yell. “I mean… It’s good. Keep going. Please.”

  He continued slowly moving until his hips were flush with my thighs. I groaned at the sensation of being thoroughly filled. It felt amazing - it was incredible how easily my body accepted him, like I was meant to.

  On top of how good it felt, the intense aching need deep below my stomach was slightly better. I didn’t feel like I was going to die from overheating anymore. But I knew just having his cock inside me wasn’t enough - I would need a lot more of it.

  “Fuck me. Please,” I begged.

  This time he didn’t bother asking if I was ready. He withdrew his hips, then slammed into me. I cried out. Stars exploded behind my eyes. A gut-wrenching, addicting pleasure burst through my body. I hooked my legs around his lower waist and begged for more. He picked up a rhythm of pulling back, then fucking me hard, over and over again. I thought I was going to go insane - I was pitiful and weak and only wanted to get fucked for the rest of my life.

  His balls slapped against my skin as he continued to plough me. By this time I was crying in pleasure and gripping the sheets so hard they ripped. Shockwaves of arousal shot through me like bullets everytime Ken slammed hard into my ass.

  Then something happened that made me gasp; Ken’s cock swelled up, making my ass clamp down hard on him. He growled. It made him harder for him to fuck me, but it was really happening - I was taking his knot.

  It was far too much. Without warning, I came hard, making a wet mess of myself, but Ken didn’t stop fucking me. Almost a second later my cock was hard again. I’d never experienced anything like it. This heat was really going to make me crazy, but as long as Ken was here, pounding me with his cock, I could live with this.

  Now he reached over and grabbed my erection with his fist, pumping it sloppy and fast as he fucked me. It only took a moment before I nearly screamed and came again. Cum splattered all over my stomach and chest. But that wasn’t the end of it. Ken grabbed my thighs and hiked them up so he could fuck me deeper. My body was half-curled, with my cock - hardening again - pointed at my face.

  Ken growled deeply and grasped my thighs hard, dominating me. His massive knotted cock plunged so deep inside me now that I couldn’t contain my cries. I forgot everything except how amazing it felt to get fucked. The pleasure built up again until it exploded, and I came for a third time, splattering all over my face.

  But Ken wasn’t done. He leaned over and licked my face clean, kissed me deeply, then flipped me over. He lifted my hips into the air until I was face-down in the pillow with my ass high and exposed. My body ached, longing for his dick which he had withdrawn for a second. But it slipped back inside my slick, wet hole a moment later and I sighed with relief into the pillow. He fucked me deep and hard and fast until neither of us could take it anymore. Ken let out an almost feral snarl as his cock throbbed violently inside me. Seconds later he shot his thick hot seed down my ass, filling me thoroughly. I came again for a fourth time, making a mess of the sheets.

  Ken groaned as his cock continued to twitch and leak cum inside me. Finally, after it was finally finished, he pulled out with a grunt. Something wet leaked out of me, but I didn’t care. I was too exhausted and satisfied to care about anything right now.

  Ken collapsed next to me. Almost automatically, I turned and buried my face in his chest. His heart was racing like it was going to burst out of his ribs. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his face in my hair.

  “How do you feel now?” he asked, mumbling.

  “A lot better,” I admitted. “That was… fucking amazing.”

  I felt him smile into my hair. “You’ll feel satisfied for a while, but that’s probably not enough to sate your heat. Not yet.”

  “Oh no, you mean we need to have mind-blowing sex more?” I said sarcastically. “How will I ever survive.”

  “As long as you’re having a good time,” he said with a smile.

  “Are you kidding me? That was… the best I’ve ever felt.”

  “Good.” He kissed the top of my head. “Let’s get you cleaned up before we fall asleep.”

&n
bsp; Thankfully, he was the one to get up and grab tissues and not me, because I couldn’t move. After wiping both of us clean, Ken got back into bed with me and pulled me back against his chest.

  “Now… Will this convince you to stay?” Ken asked.

  “Are you still thinking about that?” I said with a groan. “Of course I’m staying. How can I ever go back now that I have this…? Now that I have you?”

  Ken blushed and hugged me harder. “Good. I don’t think I could handle losing you. Ever since the first day I saw you there, I wanted to protect you. And now that you’re my mate… I’ll fight anyone who tries to hurt you.”

  My heart swelled. I couldn’t find the words to express myself, so instead I kissed my mate.

  It felt weird to think that - strange, like having a mate was something that happened to other omegas, but would never happen to me. But here I was now with an alpha of my own, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

  “So, uh… What exactly happened yesterday?”

  Mason and Charlie sat in the waiting room below my apartment, along with both their mates. All four of their pups were here this time, running around and playing with the toys in the corner and flipping through magazines. I had invited David and Tyson too, since they were a part of our hunting guild as well, and this was something that concerned all of us. I knew the alphas were meeting Wesley for the first time. I hoped they were nice to him, otherwise I’d have a bone to pick with them.

  Beside me, Wesley blushed - whether from remembering our night of hot sex, or because of the confrontation he had with Mason, I wasn’t sure. But we were going to fix the latter issue right now.

  “Mason,” I began, looking at the omega. “I think we should discuss the issue you were having yesterday with the rest of our friends.”

  “What issue?” Charlie asked.

  “I can explain,” Wesley said with a sigh. He stepped forward, looking a bit nervous. I knew this was going to be hard for him, but I was proud that he was doing it anyway. “There’s something you should all know.” He looked Mason in the eye. “Mason, you were right. I did come here as a spy originally.”
